Immigration Remains Key Issue for US Voters 2024

Trump Plans Immigration Crackdown

Donald Trump’s campaign has focused heavily on immigration to the US and was a major factor in his election as president in 2016. He has confirmed he would use military support to deport undocumented immigrants and increase workplace raids to crackdown on employers hiring workers without the correct paperwork.

In a bid to improve the removal of illegal immigrants, Trump plans to build additional detention camps to focus on increased deportation.

Trump’s planned policy to end automatic US citizenship for anyone born in the US is likely to result in a legal challenge and could be a matter eventually debated in the Supreme Court due to constitution legalities.

Those applying for US visas to live, work or study in the country could see visa processing times lengthened because of increased security checks and additional application questions following a Trump win.

Harris Committed to Immigration Reform

Kamala Harris has been less vocal on immigration than Trump but has confirmed plans to focus on US border security with an increase in agent numbers.

The Democrat candidate is also planning to reintroduce the cross-party security bill that didn’t gain Congress’s support at the start of 2024.

If Harris does head to the White House after today, then she has committed to comprehensive immigration reform with a change in the routes available to those seeking US citizenship and a fast-track processing system for undocumented children already living in the country.
