President Trump’s administration is working hard to impose changes to immigration laws, taking a hard line on immigration and illegal immigrants in the US.
In his first week in the Oval Office, Trump didn’t waste time turning his presidential campaign promises into reality. He signed a number of executive orders regarding immigration targeting undocumented immigrants residing in the country.
In June, ICE carried out raids across the country, triggering protests in L.A and surrounding areas. When the protests turned violent, he deployed the National Guard and the Marines to contain the unrest.
While many criticized his action to involve the National Guard into the matter, Trump accused his critics of using undocumented immigrants to “expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.”
As the issue of undocumented immigrants filled headlines, Melania Trump’s US visa took the center stage in the discussion.
