Calls Grow for U.S. Immigration Moratorium to Deport Illegal Immigrants
Demands are intensifying in the United States for a temporary halt to immigration in order to deport illegal immigrants. This argument is being presented as a measure to strengthen border control and prevent illegal stays.
Within the U.S., there is a growing chorus calling for an immigration moratorium to resolve the issue of illegal immigrants, and these demands are spreading through major media outlets, including Fox News. As of November 3, 2025, the argument that practical measures are needed to deport illegal immigrants within the United States is gaining traction.
Donald Trump has made resolving the issue of illegal immigration a key campaign promise, actively pushing for border strengthening and illegal immigrant deportation policies. As the demands of his supporters for these policies intensify, the government is reportedly considering additional immigration restrictions.
The call for an immigration moratorium aims to minimize the negative impact on American society's safety and economy, going beyond simply deporting illegal immigrants. In particular, some point to the increase in crime and the burden on the social welfare system due to illegal immigration, urging strong changes in immigration policy.
However, there are also strong objections to the demand for an immigration moratorium. Human rights organizations and some civil society groups express concerns that an immigration moratorium goes against humanitarian values and could harm the diversity of society. Criticisms have also been raised that the policy overlooks the contributions of immigrant communities.
Amidst these debates, Donald Trump is expected to pursue stricter immigration policies, reflecting the demands of his supporters. However, there are many challenges to overcome, including legal issues and social opposition, which are expected to hinder the policy implementation process in the future.
Background to the Demand for Immigration Policy Changes
The demand for changes in U.S. immigration policy is not just a recent phenomenon. The long-accumulated problem of illegal immigration and the resulting socio-economic burden are major contributing factors. In particular, as the influx of illegal immigrants continues to increase, especially around border areas, anxiety in local communities is growing.
In addition, the combination of economic recession and job losses is exacerbating anti-immigrant sentiment. Some argue that immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans and excessively benefiting from social welfare programs, leading to widespread dissatisfaction with immigration policies.
Against this backdrop, Donald Trump, advocating "America First," emphasizes strengthening immigration policies to protect citizens. This resonates with a significant number of voters, bolstering the demand for immigration policy changes.
Future Prospects and Challenges
U.S. immigration policy is likely to become even stricter in the future. Donald Trump is expected to accelerate border strengthening and illegal immigrant deportation to meet the expectations of his supporters. However, there are many challenges to overcome in this policy implementation process, including legal issues and international criticism.
In particular, concerns have been raised that changes in immigration policy could harm the diversity of American society and negatively impact the economy. Therefore, the government should gather opinions from all sectors of society and take a cautious approach when implementing immigration policies.
In addition, it has been pointed out that solving the immigration problem requires not only controlling borders but also international cooperation to address the root causes. It is important to expand support for countries suffering from poverty and civil war and to help immigrants live stable lives in their home countries.
