Trump promised to end chain immigration and close loopholes for family members
President Trump on Monday praised the work of his administration on immigration control and border security, saying that he "goes five steps further," writes The Hill.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Trump said his administration had carried out “immigration efforts,” highlighting the prosecutor general’s Jeff Sessions which, he says, “does a wonderful job” on this issue.
According to Trump’s leadership, the Federal Immigration Authority has improved work by increasing the raids and deportations of previously identified undocumented immigrants.
Democrats want legislation to provide a path to citizenship for DACA recipients and other young undocumented immigrants - “dreamers”.
Trump said the administration's plan is to "close dangerous loopholes" in the law.
Trump said the reform bill should reduce “chain migration”, which allows an immigrant to reunite with family members in the United States.
“We must end chain migration,” Trump said, in favor of “a system that puts American workers and the American taxpayer first.”
Trump also repeated the statements of his chief of staff John Kelly at a press conference last week about the need for a wall on the border with Mexico.
“Mexico is going through a tough time right now in terms of crime,” Trump said. “More than ever, we need a wall.”
Trump added that, despite strong relations between the two countries, the wall will help isolate the United States from drug trafficking in Mexico and crime.
“We have very good relations with Mexico, but there are many problems,” he said.
