Trump’s new promise that would affect undocumented immigrants

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign continues. The Republican continues to hold rallies, in addition to attending some events to share his plans for governing that he would implement if he regains the White House once again.

Since announcing that he would seek a second term in November 2022, the Republican has focused his campaign on several issues, including the immigration crisis. Trump has proposed several measures to reduce the entry of undocumented immigrants and expel those that are living in the United States.
