Jumpstart Construction: Measures Trump and Immigration Officers

jumpstart construction: We will work within the existing system and framework, according to The Waterloo Record. The centerpiece of the measures Trump signed was an order to jumpstart construction of his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. We do not need new laws, Trump said Wednesday during remarks at the Department of Homeland Security. He also ordered cuts in federal grants for immigrant-protecting sanctuary cities and a boost in the number of border patrol agents and immigration officers, pending congressional funding. The president's upcoming order is also expected to suspend issuing visas for people from several predominantly Muslim countries Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 30 days, according to a draft executive order obtained by The Associated Press. Sometime this week, Trump is expected to pause the flow of all refugees to the U.S. and indefinitely bar those fleeing war-torn Syria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
