President-elect Donald Trump's adviser, Jason Miller, recently outlined key border and energy policies that the incoming administration plans to prioritize. These policies bear resemblance to initiatives undertaken during Trump's first term in office.
Miller highlighted two primary focus areas: securing the border and bolstering energy production. He emphasized the reinstatement of successful border policies from Trump's initial term, such as the 'Remain in Mexico' program and ending 'catch and release' practices.
The 'Remain in Mexico' initiative mandated that migrants remain in Mexico while their immigration cases were processed in the United States. On the other hand, 'catch and release' involved detaining undocumented immigrants and releasing them into the US while their legal proceedings unfolded, often leading to prolonged stays due to court backlogs.
Miller expressed confidence that individuals supportive of Trump's border policies would find the upcoming measures favorable. He hinted at a potential revival of permitting processes to facilitate energy production, signaling a broader strategy to boost domestic energy sectors.
Furthermore, Miller hinted at an impending declaration of a national emergency related to energy matters. This declaration is expected to accompany a series of actions aimed at enhancing domestic energy production, revising permitting regulations, and addressing land usage within the energy industry.
