Trump' statement about what he would focus on in his first 100 days included 'broad legislation' for border security, including a border wall with Mexico:
"End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on
our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico
will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall;
establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for
illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a
5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony
convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior
deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for
overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers
first"
