00:00President Trump will strip half a million migrants of their legal status in a new immigration

00:05crackdown, which does come into effect next month.

00:10As Trump re-entered the White House, immigration was a top concern of his.

00:15Are his actions to control immigration supported by the American people and are they concerned

00:23about the human cost?

00:25Well, what you said is exactly right.

00:28President Trump campaigned heavily on these issues of what was essentially an open border

00:36from Mexico, from our southern U.S. border, and this vast migration into the country,

00:42completely uncontrolled migration, which many, and including now the Trump administration,

00:49consider an invasion.

00:51And so he campaigned very heavily on this topic.

00:56And President Trump won a sweeping election.

00:58He won both the electoral vote and he won the popular vote.

01:02And so he certainly has a mandate to carry out every step that he wishes to carry out

01:08on the issues that he campaigned on.

01:11He's got vast support from the American people, and we are seeing that support in the polling

01:17that shows him having kind of historically high levels of support given where he is in

01:23his presidency right now.
