The top Republican candidate for the upcoming November 5 elections and former president of the United States, Donald Trump, focused his campaign on the promise of the “largest deportation” in history, but also plans strategies to limit legal immigrationsuch as did in his first term.
Given the problems that the United States currently faces regarding the increase in the influx of illegal immigrants at the border, which in December of last year reached record numbers, The Republican candidate focused much of his campaign on the possible decisions he could make to mitigate the situation.
Unlike his first term, Trump could take more aggressive steps to reduce immigration, both illegally and legally. “What we saw last time would happen again, but probably more intensely,” explained Stuart Anderson, executive director of the National Foundation for American Policy, in conversation with Telemundo.
In his four years of government, Trump also used the immigration law to block the entry of other people with visasincluding L1 visas for intra-company transfers, which occurred, according to Anderson, “before a court ruled that he had exceeded his authority.”
From his statements in the campaign, the policies applied during his mandates and the critical situation in which the border finds itself, the conclusion can be drawn that, if he wins the elections on November 5, Trump would use the tools at his disposal to significantly limit the entry of migrants.

In that sense, the project 2025 aims to convert the staff of the Citizenship and Immigration Service (Uscisfor its acronym in English) in a security agencywhich would lead to requiring investigations into workers and forcing migrants to apply for work permits more frequently.
