Trump's restrictions on refugees are likely to include a multi-month
ban on admissions from all countries until the State Department and
the Department of Homeland Security can increase the intensity of the
vetting process.

Additionally, as AP first reported and the NYT confirmed, among the
executive orders will be Trump's announcement for plans to build a
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, something Trump himself hinted at
in an evening tweet.

Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other
things, we will build the wall!

... an announcement which has sent the Mexican peso sliding in late trading.



During his presidential campaign, Trump initially proposed a temporary
ban on Muslims entering the United States to protect Americans from
jihadist attacks. Many Trump supporters decried Democratic President
Barack Obama's decision to increase the number of Syrian refugees
admitted to the United States over fears that those fleeing the
country's civil war would carry out attacks. However, since then both
Trump and his nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, have said
they would focus the restrictions on countries whose emigres could
pose a threat rather than placing a ban on people who follow a
specific religion.
