Trump's agenda for a second term, if he wins reelection, prescribes more of his measures against undocumented immigrants and 'sanctuary cities', and omits solutions for DACA recipients.


WASHINGTON.— If President Donald Trump wins re-election, his administration will continue its agenda of putting the United States "first" with economic suffocation measures against undocumented immigrants and the "end of sanctuary cities."

So detailed agenda for 2020-2024, entitled 'fighting for you' ( Fighting for You ), which outlines major features measures to continue Trump if he wins a second term in elections next November 3rd.

In an unprecedented way, the Republican Party, for its part, will not have a national platform this year but, according to a 67-page resolution, maintains that of 2016 - which promoted the construction of the border wall - and unconditionally supports the agenda of the "Trumpism."

In the section on immigration, Trump's agenda makes no mention of a solution for Dreamers , after his administration recently released a new regulation on permit renewal.

Although loaded with nationalist populism, Trump's agenda also makes no mention of immigration reform or modernization of the legal visa system, which the Trump administration had endorsed in previous years.

Instead, the document highlights the following six points:

1. Prohibit undocumented immigrants from receiving welfare services, health care, and free tuition in universities.

2. Mandatory deportation of non-citizen gang members.

3. Dismantling of human trafficking networks.

4. The end of "sanctuary cities" - those that refuse to cooperate with immigration agents - to "restore our neighborhoods and protect our families."

5. Prohibit US companies from replacing US citizens with foreign workers at lower wages.

6. Demand that new immigrants be able to support themselves financially, without government aid.

On August 5, the Fourth Circuit of Appeals reversed the ruling of another federal court that preliminarily blocked the implementation of a new regulation on "public charge", with which the Administration intends to deny permanent residence to foreigners who have received public subsidies, or plan to do so in the future.

What about the controversy that exists with the issue of public charge?

Once he accepts the presidential nomination next Thursday, Trump plans to release more details about his agenda in various speeches and visits to key states in the race, according to his campaign.

By publicizing his agenda, Trump and his Republican allies demonstrate the enormous difference between the Democratic and Republican conventions, not only in tone but also in content.

The platform adopted by Democrats at their national convention last week incorporates issues promoted by the progressive wing led by Senator Bernie Sanders, and supports, for example, the legalization of Dreamers.

Vice President Mike Pence said on Monday that the economy "will be on the ballot", referring specifically to the economic achievements of the Trump administration before the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other items on Trump's agenda

Thus, the agenda emphasizes new tax cuts and tax credits for companies that manufacture products in the US; the development of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of this year and "a return to normalcy in 2021," and the negotiation of new "fair" trade agreements.

In foreign policy, the document omits Latin America but does resume its war against China , which it blames for the spread of the coronavirus and the loss of manufacturing jobs in this country.

In the health area, the document promises a cut in the prices of medicines and in the costs of insurance; coverage of pre-existing diseases, and "first-class" health services for veterans, among other elements.

The Trump agenda again promises to "drain the swamp" in Washington - that is, to purge the political "establishment" - through restrictions on the terms of congressmen and a fight against international organizations that "harm American citizens."

On a Sunday show on NBC, a senior Trump campaign adviser, Jason Miller, said the Republican convention will have an "upbeat and encouraging" tone, highlighting both the accomplishments of the past four years and the "vision." Trump for a second term.

However, opinion polls show a clear rejection of Trump's management, in particular for his handling of the pandemic and an economic decline  - with a national unemployment rate of 10.2% - that had not been seen since the Great 2008 recession.

Several experts have questioned, for example, that the administration can "create 10 million new jobs in ten months" and a million new small businesses, when the country faces the immediate challenge of rebuilding what the pandemic took away.
