(一) My answer is clear. I want this United Kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united and more outward-looking than ever before. I want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country – a magnet for international talent and a home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead. I want us to be a truly Global Britain – the best friend and neighbour to our European partners, but a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe too. A country that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike.
(二) To protect our citizens, I have directed the Department of Justice to form a Task Force on Reducing Violent Crime. I have further ordered the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, along with the Department of State and the Director of National Intelligence, to coordinate an aggressive strategy to dismantle the criminal cartels that have spread across our Nation. We will stop the drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth -- and we will expand treatment for those who have become so badly addicted.

3 is concerned with individual choices about right and wrong actions in a variety of contexts. Not all areas of our everyday conduct necessarily raise ethical questions but many do. In our personal lives we might face choices between being honest with our friends and not unduly upsetting them. Our professional lives may throw up a range of different moral 4 . Business people face conflicts between the goal of maximizing profits and satisfying customers. Doctors sometimes have to choose between maximizing the chances of a patient’s recovery and enabling them to make decisions about their treatment for themselves. The ethics of border security applies principles to questions about entry to national and supranational territory. Some of the principles are to do with the fair 5 of citizenship and legitimate differences between decent treatment of citizens and non-citizens; other principles are to do with the special 6 of non-citizens if not granted entry; other principles again are to do with the treatment of illegal immigrants and the identification of traffickers and their victims. The ethics of border security should be contrasted with the law of border security, because ethics and law are distinct. Although laws are often consistent with ethical principles, there is no contradiction in the notion of an unjust or immoral law. Ethical standards can, for example, be used to criticize law. In a democracy, the law operates as a series of rules amended over time by 7 .
Enforcement of the law resides with the government and its officials, but it is subject to the interpretation of legislation by an independent judicial system. Although law prohibits many actions which would clearly be immoral to perform, much immoral action is outside the scope of the law.

Moving 8 to fulfill his campaign promise to get the nation’s illegal immigration problem under control, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Jan. 25 that constitute an almost complete 9 of the Obama administration’s non-enforcement and open borders policy. From improving the physical barrier at our southern border to finally moving against sanctuary cities, these two executive orders put into effect a comprehensive program designed to secure our borders, implement interior enforcement, and reintegrate the assistance of state and local governments into federal efforts to enforce our immigration laws.
It has been a long time coming, but it seems to be finally happening: The federal government is actually enforcing our immigration laws. As the
first order, “Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements,” correctly sets out in its preamble, “border security is critically important to the national security of the United States” and “aliens who illegally enter without inspection or admission present a significant 10 to national security and public safety.”
The president orders the Department of Homeland Security to immediately take the following steps:
• Plan, design, and construct a physical wall, using appropriate materials and technology to most effectively achieve complete operational control of the southern border.
• End the “catch and release” policy of the Obama administration, which Border Patrol agents sarcastically referred to as “catch and run” that flooded the country with illegal aliens, as well as dramatically increase the capacity of 11 facilities to handle this change and the number of immigration judges needed to handle alien cases.
• Return illegal aliens “to the territory from which they came pending a formal removal proceeding,” expedite determinations of apprehended aliens’ claims of eligibility to remain in the U.S., and make federal prosecutions of immigration offenses “with a nexus to the southern border” a priority.
• Hire an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents.
• Bring state and local law enforcement agencies back into immigration enforcement to get their assistance in the “investigation, apprehension, or detention of aliens,” including through the 287(g) program, something the Obama administration did everything it could to end.
• Stop the “abuse of parole and asylum provisions currently used to prevent the lawful removal of removable aliens” by doing what the Obama administration refused to do: Apply the plain language of the provisions in immigration law that set out strict standards for 12 and parole.
• Authorize immigration agents and even state officials who are helping federal authorities to enter all federal lands in pursuit of illegal aliens– again something that the Obama Interior Department refused to allow in areas where national parks and other lands were along our borders.
