Immigration Proposals - Donald Trump

Following his 2024 election win, Donald Trump intends to implement an immigration policy even more stringent than the one adopted during his first term. Among his key proposals is the promise to launch the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history, involving the use of the National Guard to identify and detain undocumented immigrants. He also plans to revoke temporary protections, such as the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and deport beneficiaries of programs established under the Biden administration.

Trump aims to reinstate previous policies, such as the "Remain in Mexico" program, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are processed, and the use of Title 42, which restricts immigration on public health emergency grounds. Furthermore, he advocates ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, although this measure faces significant constitutional challenges.

Another proposal involves expanding the travel ban, incorporating "ideological screening" criteria to block individuals deemed potential threats. Additionally, he has proposed creating a compensation fund for victims of crimes attributed to immigrants, financed by assets confiscated from criminal gangs.

While these measures are popular among his supporters, they face legal, logistical, and budgetary hurdles, as well as the need for negotiations with Congress and other countries for practical implementation. If enacted, these actions are likely to generate controversies and challenges within the U.S. judicial system.
