States (US).

Every sovereign country has its own immigration and customs policies. These policies are further defined and driven by the ideological preferences of the ruling government. What President Trump is implementing as his administration’s immigration policy is generally a legitimate mandate as ordered by the executive arm of government. President Trump is simply executing orders and mandates given to him as President by the laws and constitution of the USA.
How every President attempts to go about implementing these mandates may be tasteful to some people or distasteful to other people. Immigration policy implementation, therefore, unequivocally affects immigrants, especially those that are not properly documented in that country.
Immigration policy implementation does not generally discriminate except where political undertone is involved between two nations.
The Immigration policies of Mr Trump will definitely affect all immigrants, essentially the immigrants that are undocumented in the US. To this extent, Nigerians will be affected to some extent with the dragnet of deportation of undocumented immigrants under President Trump.
