Abstract

Under Trump’s administration, there were many “brave” policies and speeches that are controversial enough for American founding thoughts which call for equality in the society and the development of the United States. This paper will uncover the influence of immigration policies from President Trump by listing and analyzing the ways that will marginalize illegal immigrants. This paper provides a close scope of the difficulties faced by illegal immigrants because of the harsh immigration policies, and how they will be marginalized in the future due to the unrestricted and offensive words from the speeches of President Trump. The results of the research are that new immigration policies are negative toward the illegal immigrants of the The United States obviously results in the mental health problem of the illegal immigrants and brings fatal damage to the illegal immigrant families. Also, these people who make speeches, due to their own benefit, never pay attention to the possible worse situation for the illegal immigrants, marginalizing the weak group.
