If Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is elected in November, he is expected to use many of those same levers to undo Mr. Trump's changes and even end some immigration enforcement measures that have been in place for decades.
In the early days of the Democratic campaign, Mr. Biden faced criticism from Latino organizations for tying himself too closely to the Obama administration's immigration record, which they associate with high numbers of immigration arrests and other tough enforcement measures.
"Biden's plan would unleash a flood of illegal immigration like the world has never seen," Mr. Trump said at a rally in Yuma, Ariz., on Aug. 18, adding that Mr. Biden's policies would allow "Violent criminal" immigrants to enter the country.
A spokesman for Mr. Trump's campaign didn't respond to questions about what immigration policies Mr. Trump would pursue in a second term.
Immigration hard-liners aligned with his administration, including the Heritage Foundation, have pushed him to issue an executive order, which Mr. Trump has suggested he might do several times, ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents.
He has promised to stop contracting with local police departments to arrest immigrants in the country without legal permission and to stop investigating workplaces that employ immigrants not authorized to work in the U.S. "A Biden-Harris administration will reverse the Trump administration's cruel and senseless policies that separate parents from their children at our border and more importantly push legislative immigration reform that will modernize our immigration system," said Julie Rodriguez, a senior adviser to Mr. Biden's campaign.
Ms. Harris has made immigration a central theme of her time in the Senate, and as a presidential candidate, she introduced an immigration plan that used a legal maneuver to make it easier for Dreamers to qualify for permanent residence.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
