According to incoming White House officials, President-elect Donald Trump will be signing ten Executive Orders (EOs) Monday that will, among other things, declare a national emergency at the southern border, send the military there to repel foreign invasions, and end birthright citizenship.
Trump and his national security team have been teasing that Inauguration Day would see a slate of immigration and border-related EOs being signed by the new president in order to protect Americans from the onslaught of illegals crossing into the country and undo the disastrous policies enacted by the Biden administration.
Some of the finer details are yet to be worked out, but Trump officials confirmed EOs would be signed that would:
- Declare a national emergency at the southern border;
- Send U.S. military personnel to the border to protect the United States from all forms of foreign invasion;
- End “catch and release” policies of the Biden administration and restart the building of the border wall;
- Designate drug cartels as global terrorists; and,
- Suspend asylum programs and end birthright citizenship
All of these orders will apply only to the southern border, with future action to be taken to address issues to the north.
Fox News’s Bill Melugin, as always, has more details. One point: Melugin says there will be eleven border EOs today, but Trump officials confirmed Monday morning that there will be ten.
