On January 23, the White House issued a statement on January 22 local time, stating that President Trump signed an executive order to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States through the southern border. Trump authorized and instructed the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the State Department to take all necessary actions to immediately repatriate and expel foreigners illegally crossing the southern border of the United States. The statement said that illegal immigration affected the lives of all Americans. Trump has stated that illegal immigration harms American workers, increases the burden on American taxpayers, undermines public safety, puts enormous pressure on local schools, hospitals, and communities, and causes billions of dollars in losses to the United States every year. Therefore, he will take all legal actions to address this crisis.
