Donald Trump's View On Immigration

On January 20th, 2017 President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. His win of the president election came as a shock to viewers worldwide. Donald Trump has thrown out dissentious comments about religious and ethnic minorities, immigrants, women and the broader American society for years. While Trump has consistently claimed that he is not a racist, both his campaign and previous public statements have proved him to be otherwise. In this essay, I will be analyzing the Trump’s Administration actions and views on immigration by using ideas and themes that I have learned from this course.
