The pro-open borders Hispanic Caucus has “implored” President Trump’s administration to stop mentioning the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens are allowed under the current legal immigration system to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. A report by POLITICO revealed that members of the House Hispanic Caucus — which regularly advocates for more immigration to the U.S. despite its negative impact on America’s working and middle class — asked Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly to stop talking about chain migration, which has imported more than 9.3 million foreign nationals to the country since 2005.
POLITICO reported:
In the Hispanic Caucus meeting, Democrats said they implored Kelly and his aides to stop using the phrase “chain migration,” a term that minority lawmakers say is an offensive way to describe family reunification policies. [Emphasis added]
Democrats and the Republican establishment have become increasingly upset that the Trump administration has successfully educated the American public on the impact of chain migration and the millions of foreign nationals that the process has brought to the U.S.
For example, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) also asked the Trump administration to stop talking about chain migration, claiming the term, itself, is offensive to black Americans, despite being a term that Durbin, himself, used in the White House last week.

Democrats are out of ideas... their best chance to regain control of the United States is to flood the country with 3rd world hellhole types.
The Reconquistadores are terrified that their takeover plan for the United States is going to get stopped cold.
It depends entirely on illegal immigraiton -> Amnesty -> Chain immigration to bring in the rest of their country
On average, 3 people came in legally for every amnestied illegal from the 1986 Amnesty. What was advertised to us as an Amnesty for 1.6 million became 9-10 million when the amnesty itself turned out to be 3 million and each of them brought in 3 more.
Entire villages in Mexico ended up moving to Los Angeles between 1986 and 1996.
Easy. He tells them.
No.
They come here for a “better life” (so they say).
Once here they separate themselves from the rest of us and demand privileges and perks born Americans do not have.....but are forced to subsidize.
Close down these identity caucuses——they’re a cancer on our system of government.
If they continue to exploit their latinoism at our expense-—send them back over the border.
Why does the Hispanic Caucus exist? Why in our supposed ‘race blind government’ do we have race specific groups that by their very nature are ‘racist’? We live in a very Orwellian society when it comes to all this race crap.

Perfectly said. That would be like the Congressional Black Caucus demanding a “color blind society.”
Stopping “chain migration”, the practice of bringing in extended family of recent legal immigrants simply because they are related in some manner to the principal immigrant, who may have been chosen by lottery and for no other reason or merit, drew a winning ticket, is but the FIRST step in ending a wholly irrational system of admitting applicants for citizenship.
Entering the US, then immediately applying for government assistance, is NOT a way to achieve the “American Dream”. If the immigrant is not immediately capable of either being fully self-supporting, or have the sponsorship of someone who is willing and able to provide the remaining needs for support, without resort to government assistance at any level, is cause for deportation.
This implies a good degree of fluency in the English language as spoken in the US, and some kind of valuable skill sets that is of economic benefit to the continued prosperity of the nation and the locality in which the individual settles.
The second part of the reformation is to eliminate the quotas by country, in which there is a lottery to chose who may emigrate to the US, without regard to any application of standards and tests to determine if the person chosen is morally, temperamentally and educationally fit to assimilate as a US citizen. The net is cast far and wide, to offer a place to those all across the world, who are willing to assume the obligations of becoming a US citizen in every sense of the world, no dual citizenship permitted after attaining the age of twenty-one years of age.
And of course, nobody is admitted except through the legally established routes and entry points. Merely jumping the border or swimming ashore is not, in and of itself, any kind of legal entry. Just build the wall and enforce current law.
There is, of course, the problem of refugees, those who are fleeing a very real persecution elsewhere. In that instance, these refugees shall be held at an offshore point or closely guarded detention facility without the extension of rights afforded to legal residents or citizens, until their circumstances may be sorted out. If the “persecution” they claim to be fleeing turns out to be falsely described, and they are in fact real criminals by any standard in their place of origin, they are returned to the authorities of that locality. If they were criminals there, they would likely also be criminals here, and that, we do not need. Those who are truly in need, thorough economic pressures or by very real harsh oppression, may petition for and be assigned to a responsible party or agency here in the US, to help them assimilate and start a new life, under continuing and responsible scrutiny until they are established, which means no government financial support or granting of any rights beyond that of a legal resident non-citizen.
Visa overstays must be more carefully controlled, by requiring a re-registering as an alien non-citizen resident at fairly frequent intervals, say every six months. Failure to maintain the registration is cause for immediate deportation to country of origin, and any hearing shall be IMMEDIATE, no release back into the community.
“Anchor babies” born on US soil not as part of a diplomatic corps or exchange programs, may be granted the OPPORTUNITY to apply for US citizenship upon attaining the age of twenty-one, but all the other requirements must be met (fluency in English and verifiable knowledge of the responsibilities of US citizenship, through taking a comprehensive test), and swearing an oath of allegiance to the United States of America, relinquishing any other national allegiance. Birth certificate alone is not enough.
“Chain migration” is a racist term.
Let’s start calling it “noose migration”. Because the country is hanging itself if it continues.
...an offensive way to describe family reunification policies....

Boo-hoo, their widdle feelings got hurted.
Good observation.
Sounds like a great plan.
“For example, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) also asked the Trump administration to stop talking about chain migration, claiming the term, itself, is offensive to black Americans,...”
What does the One-eyed Lesbian Wiccan Caucus have to say about the matter?
The concept must be rising in the public consciousness.
Dems know this must be done behind the scenes, as well-informed, thinking people would not agree to it.
Flak is heaviest when you are over the target.
Fully agree with you regarding the race-based caucuses in the House and Senate.
I recall that Rep. Allen West (R) first joined the Black Caucus when elected to the House, as he thought he might be able to change the thinking there. He quit the caucus when he discovered how biased, liberal and racist they were.
Heads would explode if a group proposed establishing a Congressional WHITE Caucus!
Very good! ...I don’t disagree with anything you said.
Reply: "Oh, you want us to stop chain migration? Of course we will. Thank you for asking."
Just stop it! :-)
Considering their own past it is galling how they lecture ‘white people’.
