There has been no shortage of hot-button immigration issues in
the first half of 2017.
From an international standpoint, President Donald Trump used
the first few weeks of this year to usher in his incendiary
Executive Orders, which banned entry of
certain individuals from specific countries into the United
States. Travel plans for Canadians from such countries, and the
rest of the international community, were hurled into disarray as
poor implementation led to mass confusion at airports.
President Trump's further comments undermining the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have also
disconcerted individuals and businesses that rely on the
cross-border flow of personnel and goods through Canada, the United
States, and Mexico.
