Minutes after his inauguration, US President Donald Trump said he will issue a raft of executive orders aimed at reshaping how the United States deals with citizenship and immigration.
The 47th president will set to work almost immediately with a series of presidential decrees intended to drastically reduce the number of migrants entering the country.
“First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border,” Trump said. “All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country,” he said.
Trump had campaigned on a platform of clamping down on migration and whose policies are popular with people who fret over changing demographics.
Trump’s executive orders are set to reverse several Biden-era border policies, including the use of the CBP One app, which allows migrants to seek asylum in the United States.
Nearly 1.5 million migrants were allowed entry into the country through the app, according to Fox News.
