1. Summary Deportation

• Donald Trump has made clear that he will be deporting all the undocumented immigrants aka “illegals”

• Many pundits have said it is impossible but they have ignored the rules of summary deportation. If Trump is President, there is a chance he will adapt this concept to undocumented workers.

2. Denying Muslims Entry to the United

States• Trump has confirmed many times

that he will actually deny entry of Muslims to the United States. His campaign has said it is only for visitors, and temporary but his original statement clearly says “all Muslims” – so Muslims will be banned according to Trump’s plan!

3. Deputizing local Authorities.

• In the past the Federal Government has actually deputized many local enforcement agencies to enforce immigration law. Many state and counties have resisted and made “safe haven” cities. With Trump as President, we should expect more use of such methods. They will be used not only against undocumented immigrants but also documented immigrants!

4.President Obama Executive Orders will be

Reversed!• Trump has clearly mentioned several

times that he will reverse President Obama immigration executive orders. Which means DACA, Prosecutorial Discretions, STEM OPT, H4 EAD among many others will be nullified and removed. This means that a lot of work permits (EAD) will no longer exist.

5. H1B Visas Cut Off• Trump has “flip-flopped” on H1Bs

probably because he himself uses H1B visa for his models (modeling agencies). We can easily assume that he will give preferences to ‘Models’ rather than tech-workers. So be ready!

6.OPT on Student Visas will be gone.

• According to Trump immigrant plan, foreign students (F1 visas) graduating from the United States, should not be eligible for any work permit (EAD). He is planning to cut off the OPT and CPT for all. This means that F1 visas will no longer be eligible to get experience or work in the United States.

7.NAFTA will be gone!

• The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Canada and Mexico. The NAFTA is what gives us TN visas and some other investor visas. If the NAFTA is gone so will those visas!

8.Citizenship Birthright!

• Trump has always made a distinction on Birth Rights. He did so for President Obama and lately for Senator Ted Cruz. We can properly assume that citizenship by birth laws will be changed. There might be no longer a citizenship by birth the way we know it just like UK and some other countries!

9.Infinite Detentions!

• Trump has advocated that he will put more people in Guantanamo Bay. Previous Republican President Bush signed that “enemy combatants” can be detained indefinitely without trial. Trump might use such measures on undocumented and Muslim immigrants!

10.The Building of the famous US-Mexican

Wall!• Trump is priding himself on building

a wall between Mexico and the United States. The US- Mexico borders have always been a gateway for not only Mexicans but other Refugees who are seeking the protection under Asylum. Trump’s idea will have a huge human toll!

Conclusion• While some of Trump’s proposition

might be unconstitutional, the ideas if drafted properly and through President’s executive power might make Trump the first President in decades to drastically change the US immigration laws and in a radical ways!!!!
