Illegal immigrants should be deported

When Donald Trump launched his presidential bid in the US, his main agenda was to deport illegal immigrants.

In the wake of his election as the 45th president, people expressed displeasure saying he was going to be one of the worst presidents the US has ever had. One of the groups that strongly disputed Mr Trump's election were people from Mexico.

Initially, Trump had said that he was going to build a wall between the border of US and Mexico to try and tame immigration and entry of drugs into America. He was highly criticised for his call and many thought he would be a dictator.

However, it should be clear that any illegal immigrants in any country are going to cause problems to that country.

They fight for every opportunity available with the natives. In Kenya for example, terrorism has been one of the serious problems the country has had to deal with. In fact, one of the reasons for closure of the Dadaab refugee camp was to try and deal with infiltration of terrorists from the neighbouring Somalia.

The criticism against Trump was uncalled for. Having been elected to lead the people of the US, it is only prudent to let him serve for the first term and judge him on his performance before lashing at him with all manner of accusations. As Kenya builds a wall at its border with Somalia, so should Kenyans let Trump execute some of his policies which he feels are for the betterment of Americans.
