Donald Trump again strengthens US policies against immigrants to the US
President Donald Trump of the
United States has strengthened the country’s immigration policies amid
tension and mass protest against the ban on citizens of some Islamic
countries.
The Washington Post reports that the new guidelines “call
for the hiring of thousands of additional enforcement agents, expanding
the pool of immigrants who are prioritized for removal, speeding up
deportation hearings and enlisting local law enforcement to help make
arrests.”
The
report said the guidelines are intended to help ease the implementation
of a pair of executive actions Trump signed in January adding that the “policies
represent a sharp break from the final years of the (Barrack) Obama
administration and could reverse a sizable reduction in the number of
deportations that occurred toward the end of President Barack Obama’s
time in office.”
But the administration of Trump
reportedly made attempts on Tuesday, February 21 to douse growing fears
about the ban on some immigrants into the country by saying the measures
are not intended to produce mass deportations.
The
country’s Homeland Security Secretary John F Kelly said the policy
would take time to implement because of cost and logistical issues
adding that the security agents would be cautious in wielding their
discretionary powers.
Though
globally kicked against, Donald Trump seems to be carrying out his
campaign promise of ensuring an action against immigrants to the US.
