PRINCETON NJ – Approval of President Donald Trump's performance during his first week in office has been steadily climbing – reaching the 59 percent level Wednesday, Rasmussen Polling says:
In the latest of this week’s executive orders, Trump has begun a crackdown on illegal immigration, adding thousands of Border Patrol agents, starting the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and cutting federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration law. He also has imposed a temporary ban on refugees from and visas for citizens of several Middle Eastern countries until the U.S. government can do a better job screening out possible terrorists.
Stopping illegal immigration has long been voters’ number one immigration priority.
Most also support Trump’s plan for temporarily restricting immigration from countries with a history of terrorism and for testing to screen out newcomers who don’t share America’s values.
