Will Donald Trump Stop Illegal Immigration? Potential Homeland Security Cabinet Pick's Immigration Policies Under Scrutiny

Throughout the presidential campaign, Donald Trump struck a staunch tone against undocumented immigrants while remaining resolute over building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. But once the New York billionaire became the president-elect, his support for the massive construction project seemed to gradually dissolve into a more moderate stance of tightening border security and increasing fencing, much to his base's dismay.

Despite Trump's softening position, many of his supporters are continuing to push for his promised "big, beautiful wall." As the White House transition team continues to fill out the cabinet, undocumented immigration opponents are slamming the president-elect for considering potential nominees who wouldn’t definitively support building a border wall.
