Trump's "Immigration Reform"

[no_hypocrisy]

Wouldn't that allow more HB-1 workers to become citizens?

Wouldn't cutting LEGAL immigrants mean more UNDOCUMENTED immigrants?

Wouldn't that mean businesses would go into a tailspin for cutting off workers who will accept whatever they pay?

1. Just a move to excite their nationalist base

Anytime they drag that Stephen Miller oaf out, they are appealing to the alt-right crowd.

2. How will it cause more undocumented?

How would cutting legal immigrants create more undocumented ones? Do you mean that those previously accepted legally will just come anyway?

3. People are still going to come to this country, legally or otherwise.

If you cut LEGAL immigration by half, that makes the other half (or more) undocumented and ILLEGAL. They're here. They aren't leaving. They will continue to move here.

Here's the choice: A) Let them legally immigrate and become citizens, pay taxes, assimilate by reaching out to them as new citizens, or
B) compel them to fly under the radar, to feel like criminals in hiding, to always feel like outsiders.

4. That makes perfect sense

Thanks!
