On Saturday, a small crowd gathered outside Trump International Golf Club to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, while the president spent his leisure time there.
Carrying placards, Mexican, Guatemalan, and American flags, and shouting “Immigrants Make America Great,” the small group of demonstrators screamed loudly as Trump departed his motorcade and went past on Saturday afternoon.
Their shout alluded to the president’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
One placard in Spanish said, “The American Dream is also ours.”
Trump, a Republican who has been in office just shy of three weeks, won the presidency in large part on the back of a promise to crack down on illegal immigration.
He has implemented that promise with speed, starting on the day he was inaugurated, by tasking the U.S. military to help with border security, issuing a broad ban on asylum and seeking to restrict citizenship for children born on U.S. soil.
Protesters and supporters frequently gather outside venues where Trump is staying to show their disdain or their enthusiasm for his policies.
