Trump on track to increase migration over Obama.

Let that sink in.

I really don’t know what you’re talking about. They quote Gingrich, and Ms Vaughn from one of the immigration restriction groups

And Trump himself has been saying some of these samevthings

How about these freaking lazy journalists quote an ACTUAL PERSON?

Is that too much to ask, Mr. or Ms. “Freedom”?

A moratorium is needed on legal immigration. There shouldn’t be any visas granted to foreign students or HB1. We’ve got to get people to assimilate, or else we’re screwed.


From Your Keyboard to Trump’s eyes.

Millions pouring across the border and they want to increase legal immigration?

Do these idiots in the white house realize that they’re importing enough democrats to ensure a republican will never be elected again?

Once the socialist dems have complete control, our border will be wide open forever. The rule of law dead and President Cortez will turn Amerika into Venezuela.

Morons.

The article attributes “six persons familiar with the conversations.”

Why should it scare you?

If you think about it, the system is horrible. Not only is the illegal problem bad, the legal one is too.

When Art Bell wanted to bring his wife to America, he had to submit all the information they requested PLUS thousands of dollars. He had to do that at least two or three times (they always claimed to have lost his information which meant he had to give them the same information PLUS more thousands of dollars). He eventually found someone, a congressman or something to work interference for him.

Lots of money and time. Why? When it was all legal. It is almost like they enjoy stretching the legal process out, just cuz they can. And, where did the money go that Art had to fork over at least twice before his case was completed?

No one up to this point has seen fit to even look at it the issue of legal immigration. At least Trump has got someone looking into it. And maybe it won't be so difficult for legal people to get their business taken care of.

It takes a lazy reader to say the article doesn’t quote anyone by name, because it does

Because Jared is a liberal. Trump should put someone in charge who agrees with the message on immigration that got Trump elected. Tom Cotton or Kris Kobach. Jared’s views are like Jebs, and I didn’t vote for Trump to get Jeb - or Jared

It does NOT quote any of the “six people” directly. The Newt quote is just thrown in there. There is no indication he actually attended the “meeting.”

No, not stupid - greedy. Lenin said the capitalists would sell him the rope, because they’re driven by greed

The BIG problem is that Tom Donahue of the U.S. Chamber is the Godfather, and he has perhaps 100 Senator Geary’s in the GOP House and Senate alone, on his payroll. He OWNS the GOPe, and Trump is simply going to have to make some kind of deal with him and his puppets.

“They include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Heritage Foundation, Association of Builders and Contractors, Faith and Freedom Coalition, Council on National Policy, George W. Bush Center and Select Milk Producers.”

"...moratorium on all immigration..."


Absolutely concur. My ancestors spoke very broken English yet their homes were adorned with countless red/white/blue decorations.
They brimmed with pride when they earned citizenship. My grandmother even used to shed tears of joy seeing American flags at parades!
That is something that is very rarely witnessed in contemporary society. Meanwhile, my ancestors insisted upon English being spoken at home.

I’m about as hard core Trumpian as one can get, but immigration is THE most important issue facing the country. It doesn’t even matter if other conservative policies are enacted in the next two or six years of a Trump administration.

Demographics is destiny!
-Mark Stein

As a long term Republican voter, I have almost nothing left in common with the party leadership. American companies need to hire Americans, not import foreigners. Need more STEM workers? Train what you need and pay them what they are worth.

Why would an American put in the time and expense of a hard STEM degree knowing they are competing against foreign nationals at 2/3 pay? Foreign workers drive down wages and suppress natural labor market forces, making it less likely for Americans to enter those fields.

Trump could threaten these Geary’s with his own offer they couldn’t refuse. If he threatened to campaign against them on the issue of immigration, they’d bend to him - or lose. But he’s not disciplined enough - or doesn’t care enough - to leverage his popularity with the base to truly remake the GOAp and wrest it away from the likes of Donahue

Then he shouldn’t let himself be led around by Jared and Ivanka

Yes, very stupid. Because their greed and profit from cheap labor will be short lived when we go full socialist.

It’s not a hard equation.
