President-elect Trump, according to sources, is planning to completely reshape the U.S.’s immigration policies as soon as he takes office. The Hill’s Brett Samuels speculates what exactly that could mean.
In Congress: Trump allies will push for Capitol Hill Republicans to prioritize passing border security measures and use the budget reconciliation package to change immigration law.
In the White House: Most of the changes would likely happen through executive action.
What’s different from 2016: Trump has a clearer picture of what he wants to do. He is expected to carry out mass deportations, attempt to end birthright citizenship and resume construction of a southern border wall.
