Though you may not know if from his rhetoric, President Donald Trump and his administration are actually working to increase some forms of legal immigration, a move that business owners generally welcome with open arms.
According to a Wednesday Politico report, Kushner has already bumped up against senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, who is very hawkish on immigration and would have to sign off on a plan before it gets to Trump.
Some of Trump’s allies worry that the President will be swayed by Kushner’s more moderate stance on immigration and fail to throw some anti-immigrant red meat to his base which hungers for a much less porous border.
I am sure Melania has a few more relatives that need to get in.
And how is Kushner ‘working’ to increase legal immigration?
What proposals has he developed? Who in Congress is working with him to develop legislation?
Bumping up against Miller doesn’t count as work.
So the boy wonder has a new area to f*ck up!
How can Kushner possibly even find the energy to work to increase legal immigration? After all, the poor boy must be absolutely exhausted after bringing peace to the Middle East.
DHS sec. Nielsen says 900,000 people are expected to cross the border “with no legal right to stay. We must treat this like a Cat 5 hurricane.” (From cnn.com)
I think Nielsen is ignorant of or maybe deliberately ignoring our refugee laws. Or maybe dhe just wants to be deliberately cruel.
I know nobody in the admin. listens but the way to fix this is not at the border but, rather, at the countries the people are leaving. And cutting off foreign aid to them is not helping. Much of that money goes to aid workers and nonprofits, not local governments.
