Wall Street Journal reports: Trump Plans to Restrict Legal Immigration, exactly as he fought to do First Term—despite complaints of comments in favour of ‘coming legally’ or ‘green cards for grads’, which he ‘supported’ in 2012, 2013, etc... In office, he was a migration minimiser.
2017, he endorsed a major bill to cut legal migration by 50% and eliminate policies that allow for unwanted legal and diverse entry. 2018, he sought to ‘reject shitholes’ and accept ‘nice countries like Norway’. 2019, he had markedly stifled legal migration. Trump rejected legals, decreased the foreign-born, capped refugees to their lowest in decades, and spiked VISA denials to historic highs, all before COVID.
While Congress stiffed many bills, impeded the Wall, and his admin faced never-before-seen lawsuits, explicitly against his migration restriction efforts, hopeful is his term two govt purge & day one blitz, defended by their law firm powerhouse, which would open up big change. From there, we segue in the right direction.
