Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election has placed him in a position to enact his campaign promises on immigration policy, including plans for mass deportations and new efforts to stop migrants from entering the United States.
In his victory speech early Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Fla., Trump briefly checked off at the start of his remarks his plans to secure the U.S.-Mexico border as part of his vision for America upon his return to the White House.
“We’re going to help our country heal,” Trump said. “We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders, we’re going to fix everything about our country, and we’ve made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that.”
