This is a... pretty long list. -Stop all federal funding to "sanctuary cities" - places where local officials don't arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally for federal authorities. -Begin deporting what Trump estimates to be more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants living in the country. -Cancel visas for citizens of foreign countries that won't take those criminal illegal immigrants back. -Immediately terminate former President Barack Obama's "two illegal executive amnesties." That presumably includes DACA, which protects people who were brought into the country illegally as children. -Begin working on an "impenetrable physical wall" along the southern border. -Ask Congress to pass "Kate's Law," which would increase penalties on people who unlawfully re-enter the United States after being removed. SECURITY AND DEFENSE: -Immediately suspend the Syrian refugee program. -Convene his generals and inform them that they have 30 days to submit a new plan for defeating the Islamic State group. -Suspend immigration from "terror-prone regions" where he says vetting is too difficult. -Implement new "extreme" immigration vetting techniques. TRADE: -Announce his intention to renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico. -Formally withdraw from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership. -Direct his treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator. DRAINING THE SWAMP and GOVERNMENT REFORM: -Propose a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress. -Ban White House and congressional officials from becoming lobbyists for five years after they leave the government. -Ban former White House officials from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments for the rest of their lives. -Ban foreign lobbyists from raising money for U.S. elections. -Impose a hiring freeze on federal employees, excluding military, public safety and public health staff. -Impose a requirement that for every new federal regulation imposed, two existing regulations be eliminated. ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT: -Remove any Obama-era roadblocks to energy projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline. -Lift restrictions on mining coal and drilling for oil and natural gas. -Cancel payments to the U.N.'s climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure. HEALTH CARE, GUN CONTROL AND OTHER ISSUES: -Cancel "every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama." -Ask Congress to send him a bill to repeal and replace Obama's signature health care law. -Begin the process of selecting a new Supreme Court justice. -Get rid of gun-free zones in schools and on military bases.
