Trump, who has repeatedly said that immigration is one of the main threats to the US and Europe, called it the cause of an increase in crime and economic problems and stated the need to suspend or significantly limit immigration from third world countries, according to the Wall Street Journal, softened his position on immigration after US first lady Melania Trump complained that people she knew were being deported. Following her complaints, President Trump told his aides that Stephen Miller had gone too far in tightening immigration enforcement.
