President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20, 2025 and has already prepared a series of executive orders (EOs) that he will sign into effect on his very first day on the job. The vast majority of these initial EOs are designed to reverse policies from the Biden administration and will restore a good chunk of those that were originally in place during Trump’s first term, along with implementing some new policy goals.
According to Breitbart, Stephen Miller, the president-elect’s choice for White House deputy chief of staff for policy, stated that deportations of illegal migrants will be our new commander-in-chief’s top priority.
“President Trump … on day one, is going to issue a series of executive orders that seal the border shut and begin the largest deportation operation in American history,” he said during an interview with Fox News in December.
Axios compiled the actions Trump said he would take, ranking the list based on mentions from Trump’s 122 speeches, press conferences, and interviews delivered from January 1, 2023 to December 6, 2024.The list includes:
- Settle the Russia-Ukraine war
- Close the border
- Cut federal funding for schools that teach CRT or who have a vaccine mandate
Breitbart News published a list of ten executive orders that Trump could issue on his first day. Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak recommended over 200 executive orders, actions, and policies that Trump should enact in his first 100 days. Democrats and their media allies will try to portray him as a “lame duck” who cannot run again and point to past challenges of passing his agenda through Congress even when Republicans controlled both chambers.
There are a lot of issues facing the country that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. However, some of these can be resolved and instantly begin to see the effects of measures taken, such as the border crisis. Unfortunately, the economy is much more complex than that and any thing done to help with our nation’s money problems will take time to feel the effects. I wish it weren’t so, but it is what it is.
However, the problem our country has with millions of illegals residing in our neighborhoods and cities, milking off welfare programs, is something Trump can do something about right off the bat. Not to mention our economic situation will vastly improve when we’re no longer giving our resources away to those who are here without legal permission. There’s a right way and a wrong way to become part of America’s heritage. It’s time to stop rewarding the wrong way.
