President Trump’s Massive Enforcement Plan: Wasteful and Ineffective

AILA issued “President Trump’s Massive Enforcement Plan: Wasteful and Ineffective,” providing analysis of the President’s plan to build the border wall, hire more deportation agents, increase immigration detention, and increase prosecutions of those who cross the border illegally. With federal spending on immigration enforcement already at historic levels, Congress should reject the request for additional funding because it is excessive and ineffective and will deprive thousands of people of due process and humanitarian protections.
