Former U.S. President Donald Trump has outlined stringent immigration policies for his potential second term. He aims to reinstate programs like 'remain in Mexico' and Title 42 and build more border walls. Trump also plans to end 'catch and release,' detain all illegal migrants, and launch the largest deportation effort in U.S. history.

Trump's administration previously built 450 miles of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, and he pledges to close existing gaps if re-elected. He plans to use tariffs to pressure other countries to prevent migrants from reaching the U.S. He would also impose new travel bans, targeting countries and ideologies deemed a security threat.

Trump's legal immigration policies involve ending automatic citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants in the U.S., reducing refugee admissions, and rolling back Temporary Protected Status designations. Despite facing legal hurdles, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to a merit-based immigration system and tighter visa regulations.
