The framework basically summarizes Trump's previous policy ideas, reaffirming the need to build a wall on the southern border, proposing to spend $550 billion on infrastructure, repealing the Dodd-Frank financial bill, and reshaping the U.S. economy by increasing domestic employment through such means as tax cuts and shifting trade policy.
Here's a look at the initial policy ideas in each area:
1. Immigration: overhaul immigration policy, including "building the wall"
On immigration, Trump has said his foothold on U.S. immigration reform is "first and foremost to ensure that Americans have the best chance of success in the world of work. jobs, paychecks, and security." Second, "in the context of protecting the well-being of legal immigrants, control the number of foreign workers into the United States," to avoid this part of the population and Americans compete for jobs. Third, "screen immigrants first and foremost to ensure that they support American values, the U.S. Constitution, and Americans. The U.S. should suspend immigration applications from countries that export terrorism and where security background checks cannot be done."
The latest policy framework shows that the Trump team will "implement the following ten measures to improve the immigration system and "protect our communities and put America first":
1) Build a wall on the southern border;
2) No more catch-and-release for illegal immigrants;
3) No more immigration screening;
4) No more immigration screening;
5) No more immigration screening;
6) No more immigration screening;
7) No more immigration screening. and released;
3) Zero tolerance for crimes committed by aliens;
4) Elimination of federal funding for cities that protect illegal aliens from deportation (such as San Francisco);
5) Elimination of all unconstitutional Executive Orders, and strict enforcement of all immigration laws;
6) Stopping issuance of U.S. visas to countries and territories that are unable to adequately screen them;
7) Stopping issuance of U.S. visas to countries and territories that are unable to adequately screen them; and ;
7) Ensure that other countries pick up their illegal immigrants after we order deportation.
8) build a biometric entry/exit visa tracking system;
9) close jobs and subsidies (for illegal immigrants);
10) reshape legal immigration policies to ensure that they maximize the benefits to the United States and to American workers
You think he was joking when he said, "build the wall"? a joke? He means it... With the announcement of the ten measures, Trump has once again made it clear that he wants to protect his citizens through a tough immigration policy.
Illegal immigrants are the first to be targeted, as evidenced by the fact that half of the ten measures listed are related to illegal immigration.
Trump has repeatedly emphasized on the campaign trail that if he is elected, he will quickly repatriate illegal immigrants and will never allow illegal immigrants to obtain legal citizenship and become U.S. citizens. Any illegal immigrant with a criminal record, as well as illegal aliens caught during his administration, would be deported. He will also repeal Obama's November 2014 executive order on immigration reform. The executive order was designed to protect from deportation some 4 million illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for a long time and meet qualifying conditions. He also opposes accepting refugees fleeing the war in Syria and has banned Muslims from entering the United States. The claims made during the campaign have been reflected in the official policy framework this time around.
If the crackdown on illegal immigrants is just a crackdown on illegal immigrants, it will mainly target Hispanics, and Chinese illegal immigrants, who do not make up a large percentage of the population, will be more limited in their impact. But if Trump even legal immigrants are "not spared", that is the most frightening, on the path of Chinese immigrants far-reaching impact. What people haven't noticed is that he has also taken a tougher stance on legal immigrants. What impact will Trump's policy orientation have on Chinese immigration to the U.S. after he takes office?
Green cards will be harder to get
Trump's green card policy is sure to tighten, making it harder for immigrant families to bring their family members to the United States than it was before.
During the campaign, Trump said he "will keep the number of immigrants within the United States at a certain level by historical norms." The question is: what are historical norms? Trump hasn't provided a clarification. The foreign-born immigrant population has tripled from 1970 to the present, and now makes up 13 percent of the U.S. population, and is estimated to rise to 18 percent by 2065.
If the historical standard Trump is referring to is 1966 to 1976, the federal government will issue 41 percent fewer immigrant visas and green cards after taking office than it does today.
On the other hand, Trump has already said during the campaign that he will make it harder to apply for green cards when he takes office, and may even stop issuing them altogether for a period of time; if that's the case, it will be more difficult for immigrant families to apply for their family members to come to the U.S. from their place of origin.
H1B policy tightening
In addition to investment immigration, relatives immigration, student immigration is also one of the main ways for Chinese immigrants to the United States. In order to attract talents, the U.S. has also opened a channel for international students to apply for green cards. International students can find an employer and then apply for an H-1B visa, and after obtaining the H-1B visa, they can apply for a green card. H1B visa holders can work in the U.S. for 3 years, and then can be extended for another 3 years. After the 6-year period expires, the visa holder must leave the U.S. if his/her status has not been converted.
Based on Trump's stance and attitude, those who want to get their status through H-1B will be hit the hardest. Trump said that only half of the Americans who graduated with a STEM degree will be able to find a job in a STEM-related field. Non-American H1B visa holders make up two-thirds of the STEM jobs. So, Trump's latest H-1B policy is summarized as 1 raising the prevailing wage rate 2, prioritizing the hiring of Americans.
In a nutshell: Didn't you guys complain about the lottery? It's okay, we'll raise the going rate for H-1B jobs so that American companies won't need so many H-1Bs and won't need to draw lots (...which means you can go back to wherever you came from after graduation). Currently, after graduation, most international students only have a 1-year internship period. After the internship period, you need to have an employer's support and win a work visa to stay in the U.S. However, the lottery rate for Chinese students is only 8.4%. Even if you are lucky enough to win the lottery and stay in the U.S., it can take 7 to 13 years to obtain a green card through work. With Trump in office, it will be even more difficult for international students to stay in the U.S. after graduation.
Being born in the U.S. is a benefit that may disappear
The U.S. applies the principle of jus soli to the issue of citizenship, which means that all babies born on U.S. soil will automatically become U.S. citizens. This is the main reason for the boom in Chinese births in the US in recent years.
And Trump believes that the principle of the place of birth of U.S. citizens has the greatest appeal to illegal immigrants. He has said he wants to overturn the policy that a person born in the United States is an American. Some conservatives also believe that this principle is the root cause of the United States becoming "a place for illegal immigrants".
Under existing U.S. law, children born to illegal immigrants in the United States can apply for immigration status on behalf of their parents and siblings once they reach the age of 21. Countless illegal immigrants are taking advantage of this provision, first in the "underground" waiting for many years, and then through the children "bleach" identity, and then use their legal status, apply for relatives still remaining in the original country of residence to the United States to reunite.
The number of people coming to the U.S. to give birth is staggering: in 2008, about 4,200 Chinese mothers gave birth in the U.S. as tourists, and by 2012 that number had soared to 10,000, according to the U.S. Department of State. From 2013 to 2015, the boom of Chinese moms giving birth in the U.S. continued at a high level. If Trump does make adjustments to the place of birth principle when he takes office, it's bound to be a huge blow to moms who want and are preparing to give birth in the US.
2, the economy: trade protection, increase employment
Trump believes that too many trade agreements in the past decade did not put the American people first, so that the American people lost countless jobs. A large number of factories have closed on U.S. soil and relocated overseas because of tough government regulations and taxes, and his administration promises to "reverse decades of trade policies that have sent jobs abroad," and make businesses more willing to stay, create more jobs, pay more taxes, and reshape the U.S. economy. America will once again be a destination for people to work, produce and innovate.
It is clear that Trump will adopt a protection-oriented economic policy, that is, focusing on vigorous development of domestic industries and imposing restrictions on imports to reduce the impact of imports on local brands. The United States is facing a serious problem of population unemployment, support for the development of local industries will effectively solve the unemployment problem. Trump will gradually repeal existing job-damaging regulatory provisions, promises to bring manufacturing jobs that have gone overseas back to the U.S., advocates lowering the top federal corporate income tax rate to 15 percent from the current 35 percent, and proposes a one-time 10 percent tax on U.S. corporate profits overseas, with the income tax used to invest in U.S. economically backward states. The plan is to create twenty-five million new jobs over the course of twelve years.
3, finance: repeal the "Dodd-Frank Act", bank deregulation
In the financial sector, the Trump administration believes that the financial crisis after the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act did not play a proper role, the United States is still mired in the slowest and most fragile recovery since the Great Depression, and millions of people have lost their jobs. Millions of people have lost their jobs, and the economy has been growing at a rate of less than 2 percent, only half of its historical average. Meanwhile, the big banks are still expanding, and taxpayers still face the possibility of needing to pay for financial institutions that are too big to fail. Noting that "the Dodd-Frank economy is not working for working people," Trump promised to roll back the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, meaning that when he takes office next January, the new administration will look to reshape the way the U.S. regulates the financial sector.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is the Obama administration's response to the 2008 financial crisis and the development of a financial reform bill, signed by President Obama on July 21, 2010, the bill is considered the most comprehensive and stringent U.S. financial reform bill since the "Great Depression. The bill is considered the most comprehensive and draconian financial reform bill since the Great Depression.
Trump cited the 2010 bill as the cause of the weak economic recovery since the financial crisis and said he would replace it with new policies to spur economic growth and job creation. The repeal of the bill could potentially lead to increased credit and profits for the banking sector. In addition, in the context of inflation, Trump's new economic policies will push up market interest rates and widen spreads, which will also favor the U.S. banking sector. U.S. banks are the main financial institutions in the U.S. that have the highest sensitivity to market interest rates, and the rapid amplification of spreads will be extremely favorable to the profit growth of U.S. banks.
4, health care reform: the repeal of the Obamacare bill
The Trump administration will collaborate with Congress to repeal and replace the Obamacare bill, promote health savings accounts (HSAs), and allow the federal government to return to its original regulatory role to establish a patient-centered, high-quality, affordable health care system, and to take any necessary steps to reduce the burden on Americans.
The Trump team proposes that people voluntarily choose to buy health insurance in individual states, and gives states the right to divide up the health benefits fund, allowing them to develop new technologies to benefit more low-income groups. Protect the lives of ordinary people, including the most helpless and disabled Americans. Reform food and drug regulation to devote more energy to patients' needs for new drugs. Upgrade the modernization of health care to better cope with the coming wave of newborns and retirements.
5. Education: more opportunities for school choice
School Choice and Access to Education Act. Trump will push policies that provide learning, work and income-generating opportunities for some 70 million school-age people, 20 million high school students and 150 million working adults across the United States. Education funding would be redirected to provide more opportunities for children, and parents would have the right to choose whether their children go to public, private, charter, focus, or home school. Eliminates the state's uniform core instructional standards and puts the regulation of education back in the hands of localities and communities. The bill also expands career and skills education, making it easier for citizens to afford two- and four-year education.
6. Taxes: lower/simpler/fairer/more pro-growth
Since 2008, many of the policies of the **** and the party have been prevented from passing by the White House and Democratic leadership in Congress. There is bipartisan ****ense about the urgency of tax reform, and the success of reform requires presidential leadership. The Trump tax reform plan is designed to be lower, simpler, fairer, and more pro-growth. The Trump plan simplifies the current progressive individual income tax brackets from seven to three, at 12%, 25%, and 33%. Each taxpayer earning between $48,000 and $83,000 a year would save $1,000 a year; those earning $3.7 million or more a year, the top 0.01 percent of the wealthy bracket, would see a further $1 million a year in tax cuts. Individuals earning less than $25,000 a year and couples earning less than $50,000 don't have to pay taxes. There are varying degrees of annual tax reductions for the single childless group and middle-income married retired couples. Overall, Trump's tax policies are a boon to low- and middle-income groups.
7. Defense and National Security: Combating Terrorism
At the defense and national security level, the Trump administration is committed to building a strong military that will act swiftly and consistently to combat terrorism and stifle the threat posed to the nation and its people by radical ideologies. Trump said he will address the catastrophic dangers posed by nuclear weapons and cyberattacks, ensure that our strategic nuclear weapons are modernized and continue to implement effective deterrence"; and increase scrutiny to minimize vulnerabilities in the U.S. infrastructure in response to cyberattacks.
8. Transportation and Infrastructure: $550 billion investment
The U.S. transportation system has been neglected for a long time, and the people have suffered a drag as a result. Traffic jams, flight delays, and overcrowded subways are just to name a few, and the entire system is in meltdown.
The Trump administration has pledged to invest $550 billion to create a reliable and efficient transportation network that makes traffic faster and safer. "Our roads, bridges, airports, transit systems and ports are going to make the world jealous and improve the quality of life for all Americans.
9. Energy Independence
Reworking U.S. energy policy, including ending the "war on coal." The new energy policy emphasizes that the United States will make the best use of America's energy resources, both traditional and renewable. Trump said the U.S. will become a net exporter of energy, bringing millions of jobs to its citizens. He also emphasized a commitment to protecting our wonderful natural resources and charming natural habitats, clean air and water. Additionally, the plan proposes to open up offshore and onshore land and water leases to fossil energy producers.
10. Defend Citizens' Constitutional Rights
As President, Trump will defend the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens by vetoing all legislation that exceeds the scope of congressional authorization to carry out executive and military duties in accordance with the Constitution; and by defending U.S. citizens' fundamental freedoms of speech and religion, the right to bear arms, and the rights afforded to them under other laws and constitutional amendments.
I hope this helps you, take it for what it is worth, thank you!
