Border crisis, economic woes: What’s the best policy for America’s southern border?

It was a bad day for American politics when the federal government announced it was considering raising the legal immigration limit from 110,000 to 150,000 per year.

It also seemed a little odd to consider raising it after the fact, given the fact that border security was already a big part of the presidential campaign.

The policy change came as a surprise, and the Trump administration made no announcement on it, until Monday, when it sent out an email to all U.S. agencies announcing the change.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that it had taken “the necessary steps to address border security concerns and ensure the integrity of the border.”

The statement said that the increase would begin on January 1, 2019, and that “it is anticipated that the number of new visas issued will be limited to the 150,001 maximum.”

That’s roughly the number it said in its announcement two days earlier, but with the current immigration system, the number is far larger than the legal limit.

The Trump administration’s announcement didn’t say when the increase was planned, or what the limits would be.

But the increase appears to be a sign of how the Trump White House has been trying to boost border security and enforce the immigration laws, especially for those with criminal records.

The new policy comes in the wake of a dramatic increase in border crossings, particularly for unaccompanied minors and those seeking to enter the United States as refugees.

Since the start of 2018, about half of all unaccompanied minors crossing the border have come from Mexico, according to the Pew Research Center.

The number of people who have entered the U.N. refugee agency’s shelter in the U,S.A. has also increased dramatically, from 3,858 in September 2018 to 7,746 in January 2019, according the Center for Migration Studies, which tracks migration statistics.

Trump has promised that the border wall will be built, but has not said exactly when or where it will be.

It is also unclear how many people will be deported in the new policy.

Immigration advocates have criticized Trump for using his executive authority to push his own political agenda, including for his call to build a wall on the southern border.
