Homeland Security: Trump and Immigration Measures

homeland security: We are going to save lives on both sides of the border, according to The Waterloo Record. Trump cast his actions as fulfilment of a campaign pledge to enact hard-line immigration measures, including construction of a wall paid for by Mexico. Beginning today the United States of America gets back control of its borders, Trump declared during a visit to the Department of Homeland Security. With the families of Americans killed by people living in the U.S. illegally sitting in the audience, Trump said, When it comes to public safety, there is no place for politics. While Trump has repeatedly promised that Mexico will pay for it, U.S. taxpayers are expected to cover the initial costs and the new administration has said nothing about how it will compel Mexico to reimburse the money. Funding for the border wall project is murky. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
