I want substanially Lower immigration from Latin American countries, and raise the number of Eastern Europeans substantially.

That isn't going to happen, the most to expect is a decrease in all immigration, maybe take another look at the Jordan Commission's recommendations, which lowered annual levels to 500,000 and cut the family chain.

Besides, even if Congress wanted all immigration to come from Eastern Europe, the pool is not endless. And when their economies advance to the Western level, even fewer will want to come to the US.

Sure it can happen, all you have to do is tell the GOP that it is demographically DOOMED unless it let's in Eastern Europeans, and lower Hispanic immigration.

NEVER underestimate a politicians ability to look out for his self interest.

And there are over 300 million eastern europeans, so you have LOTS of people to choose from...
