Governmental strategies concerning the entry, residence, and departure of individuals under the administration of Donald Trump represent a significant shift in United States immigration enforcement. These strategies encompassed alterations to existing laws, executive orders, and departmental directives aimed at curtailing both legal and illegal immigration. Examples included increased border security measures, stricter enforcement of visa regulations, and limitations on asylum eligibility.
The relevance of these measures lies in their profound impact on individuals, families, and communities, both within the United States and globally. These policies have been the subject of intense debate regarding their economic, social, and ethical implications. The historical context involves a long-standing and often contentious national discussion about immigration’s role in shaping the country’s demographics, economy, and national identity.
