In a recent interview with TIME Magazine, former President Trump revealed his intentions regarding immigration policies if he were to win the upcoming election. Among his plans are the use of the military to expel illegal immigrants, reinstating programs such as Remain in Mexico and Title 42, resuming border wall construction, and launching a widespread deportation effort.
Trump emphasized his preference for utilizing the National Guard to remove illegal immigrants, stating that if necessary, he would consider involving other branches of the military. He justified this approach by highlighting that these individuals are not legally in the country.
The former president also mentioned his intention to involve local police in handling migrants and suggested that local governments could face funding cuts if they do not comply with his policies.
Illegal immigration has emerged as a significant issue for voters, particularly with a surge in border crossings since President Biden assumed office. A recent survey indicated that a majority of Americans view illegal immigration as a genuine crisis rather than a media narrative, with notable support for mass deportations across party lines.
Additionally, Trump expressed his commitment to securing the release of a Wall Street Journal reporter detained in Russia, assuring that the journalist would be brought home under his administration.
Despite facing questions about why he had not already intervened in the reporter's case, Trump cited his focus on various ongoing matters as the reason for the delay.
