Donald Trump Expected to Order Mexican Border Wall and Curtail Immigration

President Donald Trump has announced a “big day” on national security, including an announcement to build a wall on the border between the US and Mexico.

He is expected to sign several executive orders regarding immigration and border security over the next few days.

The executive orders are likely to include the “extreme vetting” of people coming from seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.

This would restrict refugee access.

Donald Trump tweeted on January 24: “Big day planned on national security tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!”

Building a 2,000-mile wall along the Mexican border was one of Donald Trump’s key proposals during the presidential election campaign.

There will also be measures that force so-called sanctuary cities in the US to co-operate with the authorities on deporting illegal immigrants.

“Sanctuary cities” are places that don’t arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally.

Later this week, Donald Trump is expected to announce immigration restrictions from seven African and Middle Eastern countries, including Syria, Yemen, and Iraq.

President Trump is also likely to halt access to the country for some refugees – until the vetting process can be made more rigorous.

He also took to Twitter to express his concern about the level of violence in Chicago.

Donald Trump threatened to “send in the Feds” – federal authorities – if the city did not “fix the horrible carnage” taking place.

Local media has said that more than 40 people have been murdered and 228 shot so far in 2017.
