Immigration
Trump signed an Executive Order today to Build That Wall!
Who's gonna pay for it?! The U.S. taxpayers!! We will be paying for the estimated $8 billion - $25 billion project IF Trump can get the Republican Congress to green-light the budget for it.
It's not a sure thing that Congress will approve the budget given that immigration from Mexico is at a 40-year low already, more Mexicans are leaving the country than coming in, some U.S. industries depend on Mexican immigrants to stay afloat, and there are no details nor an agreement from the Mexican government to reimburse the U.S. for the costs. So, we'll see where it goes.
I don't care about the wall other than the cost of it. Immigration reform is much more important and effective in addressing the issue intelligently, in my opinion.
The bi-partisan congressional group, which included Ryan and Rubio, who had been working on reasonable comprehensive immigration reform made good progress; too bad Congress stalled their work and the 2016 election rhetoric made bad guys out of good guys on this issue (in my opinion).
Also, Trump will also continue Obama's immigration enforcement policy of actively deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, which is good. President Obama deported more such immigrants than many of his predecessors combined.
