In his inaugural address this week in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump made good on his threats to crack down on the border, announcing a slew of drastic executive orders targeting immigration on his very first day in office.
Of the dozens of executive orders Trump has signed so far, at least six have been specifically aimed at immigration. One of them declared a national emergency at the southern border between the United States and Mexico, allowing his administration to quickly gain access to federal funding for the border wall. At least 1,5000 troops are now reportedly being ordered to the border, putting the Pentagon in a tailspin.
