Shorten cases and
reform unworkable judicial process and
allow minors to apply
for asylum in their home countries.
$5.7 billion for steel
barriers in high priority locations. We are building115 miles and will add 230
miles of barriers.
3 years of legislative
relief for work permits to DACA for 300,000 DACA immigrants will be given
temporary status for 3 years. The H2a visa system should be restored for
seasonal agricultural workers.
The cost of drugs in
the US is $700 billion a year.
Comments
If Democrats reject
this, Trump should remove the $800 million for humanitarian aid, the DACA
proposal and more Judges. He should then
fund the rest through the existing DOD and Homeland Security budgets and seized
Drug Cartel funds.
