Fair enough


I will re-word "end chain migration" the next time I have to copy & paste these points because someone else claims Trump supports legal immigration. :-)

I appreciate the point about shifting immigration numbers from extended family chain migration and visa lottery to the current backlog/other areas while keeping overall immigration numbers the same, though I do remain skeptical.

Given the 75% reduction in refugees, 10% reduction in green card issuances for the 2 most recent quarters with available data (yes, need more data points to come on that one), and all the other actions and statements by Trump, Sessions, and Stephen Miller, everything seems to point to overall (possibly significant) reductions in legal immigration, but I suppose time (and whether or not Congress can ever accomplish anything) will tell.
