President Trump’s immigration message is clear: enforce the law, secure the border, and prioritize American safety. On The Ingraham Angle, Laura Ingraham highlighted Trump’s reversal of Biden-era policies, focusing on aggressive enforcement and ending what they call “open-border chaos.” Here’s how Trump’s plans aim to reshape immigration:
###
Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border, allowing federal funds to bypass Congress for wall construction and military deployment. He’s leveraging the U.S. military to seal the border, labeling the influx of migrants an “invasion” requiring urgent action. This includes using troops and hardware to block crossings and detain high-risk individuals at Guantánamo Bay.
###
The administration is mobilizing a “deportation machine” targeting millions. Key strategies include:
– to conduct nationwide raids, including in sensitive locations like schools and hospitals.
– for immigrants apprehended anywhere in the U.S., bypassing court hearings.
– , deputizing police to enforce federal laws and penalizing “sanctuary” cities.
###
Trump’s executive orders dismantle Biden’s programs:
– , stripping protections for Dreamers and nearly 700,000 immigrants.
– , forcing applicants to wait in Mexico or face immediate expulsion.
– , halting resettlement except for extreme cases.
###
Ingraham emphasized Trump’s focus on vetting and security, particularly targeting groups like Chinese nationals and suspected gang members. The administration claims migrants from “high-risk” countries pose threats, justifying extreme vetting and travel bans.
###
While Biden aimed to integrate immigrants and streamline asylum, Trump’s policies prioritize deterrence. Ingraham criticized Biden’s “weakness,” arguing Trump’s approach restores order and sovereignty.
Trump’s message is unambiguous: illegal immigration jeopardizes national security, and those here unlawfully “shouldn’t be here.” Through executive action and partnerships with conservative groups like Heritage (Project 2025), his administration is reshaping enforcement to reflect that priority. Critics warn of civil liberties risks, but supporters see it as necessary to halt what they call Biden’s “destructive” legacy.
