In his inaugural address, President Trump declared that the American people “will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action.” The easiest way for him to retain the White House is to get even tougher on immigration.
President Trump has slammed Democrats’ de facto open-borders policies as a “betrayal” of everyday citizens. Unfettered immigration, he warns, “brings in millions of low-wage workers to compete for jobs, wages, and opportunities against the most vulnerable Americans.”
His analysis is spot on. But the president should still do more to curtail legal immigration and aggressively confront illegal immigration.
The president’s base cares about immigration more than any other issue. If President Trump doesn’t deliver the cuts his supporters demand, there is the possibility that many may stay home on Election Day this year.
To energize those supporters, the president could endorse Senator Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) mandatory E-Verify bill and Senator David Perdue’s (R-Ga.) RAISE Act. Both proposals are enormously popular with voters in general and Republicans in particular.
