No need to re-word, plenty of idiots on right shout "end chain migration"


without the slightest clue what it means, whether it could even be done, or that it's not even being proposed. Or they don't care to know. Shoot, wouldn't surprise me at all if Trump has said those exact words given he's, umm, not always precise with those pesky little fact things.

And btw I'm not disputing they want to reduce legal immigration, they most definitely do. My beef on that topic, which I happen to notice more than most probably because I'm an immigrant, is how often the media and the left claims he's "anti-immigrant" without the "illegal" by design. They're not trying to be honest or objective, quite the opposite, they're trying to paint him in a way that makes the most dislike him (because they know saying "anti-illegal immigrant" won't get as many agreeing). But thinking legal immigration numbers should be reduced in and of itself doesn't make one "anti-immigrant". Personally, while I support the concepts of merit based immigration, better border control, etc. I don't think continuing to bring in 1M or so a year, even on the lower end of the wage pool, is going to hurt us. It will depress wages for some for sure, as adding supply to the labor pool will, but the UE numbers show pretty clearly we could absorb it.
