President Donald Trump will make good on his promise to take action to secure the border on day one of his administration with a slew of executive orders.
“President Trump’s executive orders will certainly send a clear message: we are entering a new era of strength and pure grit,” Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., told The Daily Signal in an email Monday morning. “He’s not backing down! President Trump is taking our border back just like he promised he would – and the American people are fully behind him.”
Trump will sign 10 border related executive orders shortly after his inauguration, according to incoming White House officials.
The orders will include:
- Declaration of National Emergency at the Border
- Clarifying the Military’s Role and Protecting Territorial Integrity of US
- End “Catch and Release,” Reinstate Remain in Mexico, Build the Wall
- Designate Cartels as ‘Global Terrorists’
- Suspend Refugee Resettlement
- End Asylum and Closed the Border
- End Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens
- Enhance Vetting and Screening of Illegal Aliens
- Protect Against Invasion (aka Launch Deportations)
- Restore the Death Penalty in Public Safety
Declaration of National Emergency at the Border
Trump will declare a national emergency at the southern border, unlocking access to additional resources to secure the border, incoming White House officials told press on a call Monday morning.
The emergency declaration allows for additional forces, such as the National Guard, to be deployed to the border. The order also directs the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to finish the border wall and allow for use of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems, such as the use of radars, near the southern border.
Clarifying the Military’s Role and Protecting Territorial Integrity of US
This executive action aims to seal the U.S. border and institute campaign planning requirements for the military, according to the incoming White House officials.
The order will direct the U.S. military to prioritize the security of the borders through strategic planning that is aimed at mainlining the sovereignty and integrity of the borders. These efforts will focus on repelling all invasion threats that include illegal mass immigration and criminal activity such as narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, and smuggling.
End “Catch and Release,” Reinstate Remain in Mexico, Build the Wall
Trump’s border related executive orders include an end to “Catch and Release” and reinstatement of Remain in Mexico, a policy that requires migrants to wait in Mexico until their asylum case can be heard before an immigration judge.
Trump ended the practice of “Catch and Release” under his first administration, but President Joe Biden reinstated the practice of Border Patrol paroling illegal aliens into the U.S. after initial apprehension.
