Donald Trump will try to upend America’s immigration system

By Aryn Braun, West Coast correspondent, The Economist

NO ISSUE IS more tied to Donald Trump than immigration. While announcing his first run for president in 2015, Mr Trump called Mexicans criminals and rapists. Over the following nine years “Build the wall!” and “Mass deportation now!” became rallying cries for his campaigns. On the heels of his quick and decisive victory over Kamala Harris, Mr Trump will again try to curb legal immigration and deter the illegal kind. In 2025 his team will be more experienced and more effective.
