'Collateral damage': Trump admin said to be 'undercutting' itself as move set to backfire
One of the several policy initiatives launched by President Donald Trump in his crackdown on illegal immigration is poised to backfire and may already be “undercutting its own objectives,” argued Politico columnist Ankush Khardori Monday morning, and set off a wave of “collateral damage.”
In his effort to make good on his campaign pledge to eradicate illegal immigration, Trump has bolstered the budget of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to $37.5 billion, instituted a daily migrant arrest quota of 3,000, and on his first day in office, signed an executive order designating drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations.”
And it’s that executive order, Khardori wrote in a column Monday, that could end up backfiring.
As usual, dumpletits is causing issues. This time for himself.
