Tracie Hunte：报道指出，特朗普及其盟友计划在未来可能再次执政期间，采取措施限制多种形式的合法移民，包括那些允许企业雇用外国工人的项目。这些计划由特朗普政府前官员、竞选团队以及与竞选活动相关的外部团体制定，旨在缩小合法的移民途径。
Michelle Hackman：特朗普政府对移民的立场根深蒂固，认为移民在大多数方面对国家有害。他们试图通过各种手段限制合法移民，例如限制签证项目，以防止外国工人与美国工人竞争工作岗位并压低工资。如果特朗普再次当选，这些做法可能会更加普遍。她还指出，限制合法移民并非所有商界领袖都支持，这可能导致对特朗普政府提案的阻力。在特朗普的第一个任期内，政府内部对移民政策存在两种对立的观点：一种是限制所有移民，另一种是更倾向于商业利益。如果特朗普再次当选，他将面临来自不同阵营的压力，需要在限制移民和支持商业利益之间取得平衡。
