Donald J. Trump Policies On Migration Will It Favours African's - Must Read by Nobody: 10:33am On Nov 09, 2016 |
Donald Trump has promised
that as president he will
honour the pledge stitched
into his white and red
baseball caps: Make America
Great Again.
The former television
entertainer’s campaign has
been a roller coaster of
triumphs and pitfalls, but his
love for hyperbole has never
wavered.
With him in the White House,
Mr Trump has said, his
supporters are going to "win so
big" they will soon be "sick of
winning".
When it comes to mapping out
the details of a Trump
presidency, the Republican
candidate has been no less
extravagant.
It is customary in American
presidential elections that a
candidate sets out a vision for
their first term in the Oval
office.
But ever keen to be “the
greatest”, Mr Trump has
slashed the timeline of his
proposals from 100 days to one.
At an address delivered in
historic Gettysburg last month ,
Mr Trump laid out a “contract
with the American people” that
would begin with a “very busy
first day”.
He proceeded to detail 24-hours
designed to erase traces of
Barack Obama's presidency and
set America on a protectionist,
nativist, track.
Immigration
Mr Trump's rhetoric on
immigration came to define his
presidential campaign.
Though slightly more carefully
worded, his proposal once in
office remains some of the most
divisive legislation on the issue.
He has quietly dropped his call
to remove all undocumented
immigrants from the US, a
move that, aside from being so
impractical it might be
impossible, experts have
warned would damage the US
economy by taking too many
people out of the labour
market.
Instead he would immediately
begin the process of deporting
illegal immigrants with criminal
records.
Recent studies estimate there
are fewer than 168,000 such
people in the United States. But
Mr Trump put the number at
some two million, suggesting his
calculations of "criminals",
people who have had minor
run-ins with the law, such as
getting a speeding ticket.
He will also "suspend
immigration from terror-prone
regions where vetting cannot
safely occur".
Though the terminology is
vague, Syria would almost
certainly be on this list. Mr
Trump has claimed that the
government "does not know"
who the refugees it lets in are
from the country, despite their
being scrutinised for up to two
years before being allowed to
enter the US.
And last but not least there is
the wall . This would not happen
on his first day, he admits, but
eventually a Trump
administration would push
through legislation "build a
wall" along the southern border
of the United States and make
Mexico bear the costs.
He has not however, explained
in detail how this would
happen.
Reform Washington
Donald Trump has promised to
"drain the swamp" of big
money Washington politics.
In one of his most popular
campaign pitches , he has said
he will "reduce the corrupting
influence of special interests".
Speaking in Gettysburg, at the
site where in 1863 Abraham
Lincoln delivered his famous
speech to unite Americans, Mr
Trump sought to mimic the
legendary leader, promising to
reinstate a government “of, by
and for the people”.
His day one reforms include a
constitutional amendment to
impose term limits on all
members of congress and a
five-year-ban on White House
and Congressional officials
becoming lobbyists after they
leave government service.
In an effort to shrink the size of
government the nominee called
for a hiring freeze on all federal
employees to reduce its
workforce through attrition
(exempting military, public
safety, and public health).
Trade
A Trump presidency would
break from the traditional
Republican commitment to free
trade, imposing a set of
protectionist policies to close
America's economic borders.
He will immediately announce
his intention to "renegotiate"
the North American Free Trade
agreement with Canada and
Mexico.
He would cancel participation
in the Tran-Pacific Partnership,
a controversial trade
arrangement with 12 countries.
The pact aims to deepen
economic ties between these
nations, slashing tariffs and
fostering trade to boost growth.
But critics argue that it will also
also intensify competition
between countries' labour
forces.
Where the US election
candidates stand on |
Trade
Hillary Clinton
Has been a free trade
advocate throughout her
career, but moved to the
left on trade during her
primary election
campaign against Bernie
Sanders. She now
opposes the proposed
Trans Pacific Partnership
(TPP).
Donald Trump
Has proposed aggressive
tactics on trade for
decades, including
forcing China and other
countries to pay for the
privilege of selling their
goods in the US and
punishing US companies
that move jobs overseas.
He also opposes the TPP.
Foreign Policy
Donald Trump has said that as
president he may not guarantee
protection to fellow NATO
countries who come under
attack.
In an interview just before the
Republican convention Mr
Trump said America would help
only if that country had fulfilled
its "obligations" within the
alliance.
It marked the first time in post-
World War Two era that a
candidate for president
suggested putting conditions on
America's defense of its key
allies.
Advocating an ultra "America
first" view of the world Mr
Trump has also threatened to
withdraw troops from Europe
and Asia if those allies fail to
pay more for American
protection.
Mr Trump has flip-flopped on
key issues including Syria . Most
recently the candidate implied
that he sees Bashar al-Assad,
the country's dictator, as the
lesser evil when compared with
US backed rebel opposition
groups, some of whom have
Islamist leanings.
He has promised to "bomb the
hell" out of the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant.
Where the US election
candidates stand on |
Foreign policy
Hillary Clinton
Advocates an
interventionist foreign
policy, contending that a
power vacuum is created
when America does not
step in globally.
She supported the Iran
nuclear deal, is against
ground troops to fight the
Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (Isil) and has
taken a confrontational
approach towards Russia
and China. She supported
the invasion of Iraq in
2003.
Donald Trump
Describes his foreign
policy as “America First”,
and says as commander-
in-chief he would only
engage the US in fights
that were in America’s
self interest and where
clear, definable victory
was achievable.
He would force key allies
to pay more for their
own defence and ease
tensions with China and
Russia. He has wavered
on whether to send
ground troops to fight
Isil, but estimated in
March that 20-30,000
would be necessary. He
claims to have opposed
the Iraq invasion,
although he briefly
supported it before
reversing course.
Energy and the
environment
In a deeply disappointing
development for
environmentalists, Mr Trump
plans to cancel billions of
dollars in payments to the
United Nations climate change
programs.
He has said he would redirect
the funds to pay for
infrastructure projects in the
US.
He has also promised to lift
restrictions on fracking and
boost American oil and natural
gas production.
He would lift roadblocks to the
Keystone Pipeline.
Environmental activists fought
hard to convince the Obama
administration to stop the
infrastructure project, warning
against the effects of the
increase in oil production.
It’s path between Alberta,
Canada and Nebraska in the
United States was also said to
damage fragile ecosystems.

TATLOW/THE TELEGRAPH
Wipe Barack Obama
from the history books
One of Mr Trump's first actions
will be to try to erase the
effects of Mr Obama's
presidency.
The Republican candidate has
promised to cancel every
"executive action, memorandum
and order issued by President
Obama".
According to Stephen Moore, an
official campaign adviser, the
campaign has sought to identify
“maybe twenty-five executive
orders” that their candidate
could reverse: “Trump spends
several hours signing papers—
and erases the Obama
Presidency,” he said.
Chief among them is the
Affordable Care Act. Also
known as “Obamacare”, the
president’s signature policy has
brought health insurance to
some 12.7 million people who
would have struggled to afford
medical cover.
But it has also pushed up
insurance premiums for
Americans not on government
assistance.
Mr Trump would replace this
with another, system, the
“Health Savings Accounts”. This
plan would give more power to
states over how to handle
funds.
But beyond that critics have
said that the Trump campaign
has failed to explain how it
differs significantly from Mr
Obama’s healthcare plan, and
how they would implement it.
Like with much of his
presidential campaign, Mr
Trump appears to be asking the
American people to trust him
and wait and see. |
