Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked.

Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.

Enforce visa rules.  Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law.  This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.

No amnesty.  Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That's a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.

Quite how this would have made that woman's plight any better I don't know. To be honest, any incoming president has an awful lot to do to fix all of the things that are wrong with America (and have been increasingly wrong for decades). I have my doubts if any of them give a shit what the rest of us think of the USA, so solving this problem will be the lowest (non-existent) priority.
