Trump's immigrant policy
Donald Trump's immigration policies, in his first term, were marked by a focus on stricter enforcement and significant changes to existing frameworks. His administration implemented measures such as the travel ban targeting several predominantly Muslim countries, the "zero tolerance" policy that led to family separations at the border, and the reduction of refugee admissions to historic lows.
Additionally, in his second term, Trump sought to end birthright citizenship and introduced the "Remain in Mexico" policy, requiring asylum seekers to wait outside the U.S. while their cases were processed. These policies had sparked widespread debate, with supporters praising their emphasis on national security and critics highlighting humanitarian concerns and legal challenges.
