Wall Wednesday: Sanctuary Cities and Jumpstart Construction

wall wednesday: The president is expected to sign the first actions including the measure to jumpstart construction of the wall Wednesday during a trip to the Department of Homeland Security, according to CBC. Additional actions will be rolled out over the next few days, according to one official. He's also expected to target so-called sanctuary cities and is reviewing proposals that would restrict the flow of refugees to the United States. Trump is said to still be weighing the details of plans to restrict refugees coming to the U.S. The current proposal includes at least a four-month halt on all refugee admissions, as well as temporary ban on people coming from some Muslim majority countries, according to a representative of a public policy organization that monitors refugee issues. The officials and the public policy organization's representative insisted on anonymity in order to outline the plans ahead of Trump's official announcements. The person was briefed on the details of that proposed action by a government official and outlined the expected steps for The Associated Press. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
