President Donald Trump’s new national security strategy is set to be released on Monday.
…
Obama’s 2015 national security strategy placed an emphasis on giving amnesty to illegal immigrants by giving them a “pathway to citizenship,” while paying lip service to the need for border security. The 2015 strategy framed the flood of illegal immigrants to the US-Mexico border as a “major consequence of weak institutions and violence” and emphasized the need for America to help those countries.

Trump’s strategy frames the immigration issue in terms of sovereignty, saying the U.S. “affirms its sovereign right to determine who should enter our country and under what circumstances.”
The document emphasizes the importance of knowing and controlling who enters the country through tactics like increased vetting, ending chain-migration, ending the Diversity Visa Lottery program and increasing border security.
