Donald Trump Restricts Legal Immigration

No one is paying any attention to this.

The Trump administration is not getting credit for the things it is doing to restrict legal immigration because of 1.) the mixed messaging and 2.) all the constant distractions.

CNN:

“The State Department is indefinitely pausing a visa program intended to admit certain individuals to the United States, known as the diversity visa program.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has “indefinitely paused the issuance of diversity visas until we can be sure we know exactly who we are letting into our country,” a State Department spokesperson said in a statement Friday. …”

CBS:

“The U.S. government has expanded a sweeping pause on legal immigration applications to include those filed by people from an additional 20 countries that President Trump added to his “travel ban” proclamation this week, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told CBS News on Thursday.

The move, which mainly affects immigrants who hail from certain African and Asian countries, further escalates a wide-ranging crackdown on legal immigration expanded by the Trump administration this month. Many of those affected by the pause are likely to be legal immigrants who are currently in the U.S. and are seeking to change their status or become citizens. …”

I feel compelled to at least make a note of it.

The Trump administration is steadily choking off legal and illegal immigration. The Brown University shooting was used to justify suspending the diversity lottery. The Thanksgiving National Guard shooting was used to justify expanding the immigration ban to more Asian and African countries.

What is everyone talking about? Ben Shapiro ranting about the need for Jewish gatekeepers. Vivek attacking Heritage Americans on Christmas. Trump attacking “Marjorie Traitor Brown.”
