President Donald Trump will begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday, beginning with steps to tighten border security – including his proposed wall along the US-Mexico border.
The president is also expected to temporarily ban immigration from Muslim countries deemed a ‘threat to national security’ – namely Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia.
Over the next few days, Trump is expected to sign other domestic immigration enforcement measures that will include targeting sanctuary cities that decline to prosecute undocumented aliens.
The Donald is set to sign an executive order authorizing the wall on Wednesday, while the immigration bans are still being finalized and could come later in the week.
The president posted a tweet on Tuesday evening signaling that major announcements were in the offing.
‘Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow,’ Trump tweeted. ‘Among many other things, we will build the wall!’
The new Trump directives will also stop most refugees including those from Syria coming to America while vetting processes are reviewed.
The one exception is religious minorities fleeing persecution – which would apply to Christians fleeing Syria and other Muslim majority countries, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.
In total over the next few days, Trump is expected to:
Direct federal funds toward the construction of a wall along the southern border
Target so-called ‘sanctuary’ cities that decline to prosecute undocumented aliens
Institute a four-month freeze on admission of all refugees
Temporarily ban nationals from Muslim-majority countries that are ‘terror prone’
Halt visas to people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen
Grant exceptions to Christians and other minorities fleeing Muslim persecution
