Trump protected the American homeland by enforcing immigration laws, so that every American can feel safe in their community. President Trump called on Congress to fully fund a wall along the Southern border, to close legal loopholes that enable illegal immigration, to end chain migration, and to eliminate the visa lottery program. Donald Trump pulled the United States out of negotiations for a “Global Compact on Migration,” a plan for global governance of immigration and refugee policy that may have compromised U.S. sovereignty. President Donald Trump is in the midst of a shakeup - "near-systematic purge" - of leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, the umbrella agency that oversees both border protection and immigration enforcement, Trump's top priorities as President. Trump said the mission he cares about is tamping down on immigration and on people coming across the border. Donald Trump says that we need homeland security. President Trump states that we want homeland security and that's what we're going to get. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Homeland Security took action to wind down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in an orderly fashion, following the assessment of the Department of Justice (DOJ) that DACA lacks legal authorization. The Department of Homeland Security launched the office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE). The number of counties participating in the 287(g) program, which gives state and local law enforcement entities delegated authority by ICE to enforce immigration in their jurisdiction, has doubled. Trump has also expressed support for a variety of "limits on legal immigration and guest-worker visas," including a "pause" on granting green cards, which Trump says will "allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages."
