Trump declares border emergency and scraps asylum app in immigration crackdown
トランプ氏が国境の非常事態を宣言し、移民規制強化で難民収容所のアプリを閉鎖

◎要旨
トランプ大統領が移民取り締まりの大統領令に相次ぎ署名した。メキシコとの国境強化の公約を迅速に実行し、バイデン政権の移民政策を酷評している。また、メキシコの麻薬カルテルをテロ組織と認定する大統領令も署名している。
From behind his desk in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed a flurry of executive orders and decrees aimed at cracking down on immigration.

From an order tackling the definition of birthright citizenship, to an order declaring the illegal immigration at the border a national emergency, Trump swiftly made moves on his promises to tighten the US-Mexico border.

But some of those orders - particularly any order that aims to change the definition of birthright citizenship - are likely to face steep legal opposition.

Trump had previously vowed that the "destructive" policies of the Biden White House would be gone "within five minutes".

Hours earlier, thousands of would-be migrants had their immigration appointments cancelled after the new administration scrapped CBP One, an app used to book appearances at ports of entry at the border.

In his inaugural address, Trump vowed that "all illegal entry will be halted" and that millions of "criminal aliens" will be deported.

◎私見
バイデン政権に対する不満でアメリカ国民の多くが賛同したのが移民問題。移民も適度な数であれば労働力不足の国には都合がよいが、多すぎると手に負えないというのが実情だろう。やはり綺麗ごとだけでは限界があるのだろう。
