President Donald Trump cracked down on illegal immigration on Wednesday, signing off on two executive actions to restore law and order.
One of the orders he signed jumpstarts construction of a wall on the border with Mexico, the White House says, the other defunds sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago that harbor illegal immigrants.
‘A nation without borders is not a nation,’ Trump told Department of Homeland Security employees after signing the orders. ‘Beginning today the United States of America…gets back its borders.’
To help with the ‘crisis’ at the southern border, Trump gave DHS the authority to hire another 5,000 border patrol officers and triple its roster of immigration enforcement agents.
For ‘too long’ immigration official and border patrol agents ‘haven’t been allowed to properly do their jobs.
‘That’s all about to change,’ Trump told employees of DHS. ‘And I’m very happy about it, and you’re happy about it.’ Immigration laws will be ‘enforced and enforced strongly,’ he added.
