Event Overview
During his first administration, Donald Trump attempted major changes to the immigration system, separated families at the border, imposed a “Muslim Ban,” canceled TPS for Hondurans and DACA for Dreamers, and threw administrative wrenches on legal immigration and the asylum system. Most of these actions were undone by the Biden Administration.
This time around, if Trump is elected, his camp has much more ambitious plans: massive deportations and detention camps, freezes on legal immigration categories, punishing citizens and legal residents if they study or live with undocumented persons, and a team in the wings waiting to implement these radical reforms.
We will hear from a team of experts who will analyze the plan – detailed in a document hundreds of pages long by the Heritage Foundation – and its potential effects on Americans, Immigrants, and the Economy.
