President-elect Donald Trump, speaking at a pre-inauguration rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., vowed to halt what he described as an 'invasion' of the U.S. borders by illegal immigrants. Trump promised that by the time the sun sets on the evening following his inauguration, the 'invasion' would come to a halt, and all illegal border trespassers would be on their way back home. He also mentioned plans to issue around 200 executive orders that would address border security, stating these measures would be the most aggressive and sweeping effort to restore U.S. borders ever seen. Trump's speech included promises to fix 'every single crisis' facing the nation, with a particular focus on immigration and border control.
