How severe will Trump's "new immigration policy" be?

According to the existing statistics, the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States (undocumented? Population) is as high as 1 1 10,000, and from the White House's explanation, law enforcement agencies such as the police can detain all illegal immigrants.

In the past, the United States only expelled undocumented immigrants who committed serious crimes and posed a threat to national security. However, according to the latest memorandum signed by the Department of Homeland Security, it not only expanded the definition of "foreign" criminals, but also listed local police as law enforcers, built new detention facilities and deprived them of their privacy-announcing crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. As long as it is recognized as illegal detention, even minor traffic violations will be listed as priority deportation targets, which will be the most thorough repatriation operation in American history.

The New York Times wrote, "Research shows that the crime rate of immigrants is lower than that of native Americans." American immigrant rights advocates also said that the implementation of the latest memorandum will create an atmosphere of fear, prompting undocumented immigrants to hide in the United States more secretly.

Since Trump took office for more than a month, he has worked hard to fulfill his campaign promise and issued 12 executive orders, at least three of which are related to immigration. On October 27th, 65438/KLOC-0, he signed a decree restricting seven Islamic countries from entering the United States. Although it was temporarily rejected by the court, the subsequent measures to expel illegal immigrants shocked the world.

On February 2 1, in order to implement Trump's executive order, the Department of Homeland Security issued two memorandums, giving immigration law enforcement officials greater discretion and stepping up the expulsion of illegal immigrants who should be repatriated according to law. If Trump resolutely implements this decision, it is estimated that the number of repatriated people will reach more than 8 million.
