One of Donald Trump's top advisors has unveiled the tough anti-migrant crackdown the former president will launch if voters award him another stint in the White House in next year's vote.
Stephen Miller, a senior Trump advisor, says a second Trump administration would construct more wall on the US-Mexico border, extend the floating barrier on the Rio Grande, and deploy a naval blockade against drug traffickers.
Speaking with Axios, Miller unveiled other measures, including an expansion of the so-called 'Muslim ban' on arrivals from mostly Middle Eastern and African countries, and screening to prevent Marxists from entering the US.
The rollout comes after US Customs and Border Protection revealed on Friday that agents processed 183,000 migrants in July, a 33 percent increase on June, as illegal people flows alarm millions of voters.
'For those passionate about securing our immigration system... the first 100 days of the Trump administration will be pure bliss,' Miller told the online news outlet.

That period would be 'followed by another four years of the most hard-hitting action conceivable,' he added.
Though popular among many voters, tough immigration policies are alarming for some human rights groups and progressives, leaving Republicans and Democrats at odds for years over how to fix what many call a 'broken' system.
According to Miller, the second Trump administration's policies would include:
Ramping up ideological screening for legal migrants and nix applications from anyone deemed 'Marxists' — likely determined by probing social media accounts
Deploy a Coast Guard and Navy blockade to stop drug smuggling boats from Latin America
Revive and expand the 'Muslim Ban' from the first administration to block more people from mostly Middle Eastern and African countries
Designate Mexico's drug cartels as 'unlawful enemy combatants' and deploy the US military against them
Move to end birthright citizenship for children of migrants without papers — possibly setting the stage for a battle in the conservative-loaded Supreme Court
Extend the floating barrier of buoys along the Rio Grande.
Speed up deportations of migrants with criminal records
Complete the border wall that Trump started, but current President Joe Biden halted
Make undocumented migrants 'remain in Mexico' while they await a court date.
Make it harder for legal immigrants to enter the US — with stricter financial requirements and hefty bonds to deter visitors from overstaying
Revive the Title 42 public health order to expel illegal migrants for non-COVID illnesses
Expel child migrants in a bid to deter the trafficking of minors
Americans have warmed up to tough anti-migrant measures after years of record-breaking flows of undocumented migrants into the US, straining services at the border and such cities as New York and Chicago.
Many of the policies floated by Miller are popular among US voters, DailyMail.com/TIPP polling shows. |
