One of the many things that truly distinguishes Donald Trump from other politicians is that he makes really bold promises and, most importantly, he keeps them. When Trump ran for president in 2015, he made two big promises related to immigration, his signature issue. He promised to secure the southern border and stop illegal immigration. Promise kept. He also promised to pause immigration from Muslim nations until we can figure out a better vetting system to ensure we are not importing hate into our country. Promise kept.
