sworn-in as President.Donald Trump has announced a plan to deport millions of “illegal aliens” after he was sworn-in as President during his inauguration on Monday.
Mr Trump began his first speech as the 47th US President by declaring that “the golden age of America begins right now” before pledging to declare a “national emergency” at the US-Mexico border and launch a large-scale migration drive.He said he would sign an executive order today declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, causing all illegal entry to be “immediately halted” and beginning the return of millions of “criminal aliens”.Mr Trump also attacked the former Biden administration’s handling of the US’ migration crisis, suggesting that it had sparked a crisis of “trust over [a] radical and corrupt establishment”.
After overcoming impeachments, two assassination attempts and criminal indictments to win another term in the White House, the President is wasting no time in enacting the policies promised on his campaign trail.Executive orders to clamp down on border crossings, increase fossil fuel development and end diversity and inclusion programmes in the federal government are expected to be signed before the day is out.Mr Trump described the orders as the first step towards “the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense”.
He also declared “a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal”, pledging to “give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed their freedom”.The 78-year-old said he would help to deliver a “colour-blind and merit based” society.”
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration from the entire world” he added.”Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced.”
