Trump's Second Term Sparks Immigration Concerns

Donald Trump's return to the presidency has sparked significant global concern, particularly regarding immigration policies that may resurface, reminiscent of his first term's strict measures. Leaders, especially in Africa, are cautiously optimistic about potential economic ties, but many are wary of the impact on students and professionals seeking opportunities in the U.S. Trump's early cabinet appointments, including controversial figures like Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Stephen Miller in a key immigration role, have raised fears of an extremist agenda and a departure from established norms. His demand for a new Senate majority leader to facilitate recess appointments highlights his intent to circumvent checks and balances, raising alarm among political observers. Additionally, Trump’s foreign policy is expected to lean towards aggressive stances, particularly against China, as he addresses ongoing international crises. Overall, his administration appears set to prioritize loyalty over competency, creating a tumultuous political landscape ahead.
