    Hardly. Favoring when he is against family reunification. Hypocritical, yes? Do as I say and not as I do. I think you are scrambling.

    Where did he say he is against family reunification? Someone comes here and gets lonely they are free to go home to their family.

    Keep digging.

    They can go to their family or bring their family here as Melania did. No, you keep excusing Trump's bullshit. I don't have to dig because it is right in front of me."Chain migration" is another term for family reunification and I have no objection. You?
    Ivanka's clothing line from China? Guarantee there is no tariff. Hypocritical? Trump hiring immigrants instead of paying higher wages to
    hire Americans? Hypocritical. Trump hiring grifters for his inner circle when he said that he would bring in the best people. Hypocritical.
    His hypocrisy is all over the place. All you have to do is open your eyes. Let's end this conversation. thank you.

    What is this “unchecked and unvented” ? That’s not what Chain MIgration is. It only allows them to sponsor someone. They still have to go thru the same vetting process as anyone else.

    I never said the Melanie’s parents were bad. I pointed out that Trump has been screaming on high for months about the evils of Chain Migration, yet he was curiously silent on this one.

    Do as I say not as I do? ;)

    You know Trump's birther base ACTUALLY believes that they will be immune from ending chain migration because of "protected" ethnicity. The slope is however slippery especially when wet.....

    If Trump had sponsored them it wouldn't be 'chain migration'.

    Melania became a citizen legally.
    Melania did not sneak across the border.
    This thread is pure ignorance and stupidity

    The left loves chain migration and will fight tooth and nail to defend this perverse corruption of our immigration system.

    That's the way the left wants the law so why is Trump taking on more petty hits from his army of butt sore detractors for following
    the system they themselves support? It sure feels good to whine, I guess.

    As long as chain migration exists, I guess Melania has as much right to use it for her parents as anyone else does. Her parents could have no doubt immigrated to the U.S. without her sponsorship anyway.

    But we don't do that. We vet refugees, and we certainly vet immigrants brought in through sponsorship.

    Is it fair to say then, that you support an immigrant who has obtained citizenship sponsoring their family's immigration ('chain migration')? You're really just against people from certain regions immigrating here?

    That being said, everyone brought in through sponsorship is vetted. The visa process can take months.

    The thing is, currently, you can only petition for a spouse, parent, sibling, or child (some depending on your age).

    So what policy does Trump want to end?

    In-laws are not considered immediate family for Trump. They are for Melania.

    Chain migration has nothing to do with people who come across illegally.

    Your post is pure ignorance and stupidity.

    Why is it so hard to understand what the thread is ? Trump wants to end Chain migration. So much so he tweets about it daily. HE is the one who got silent on this when it was Melanie’s parents.

    FTR, I DO think we need to have better laws on migration. Sensible laws. But thats not what the thread is about

    Obama tried to close that dwn and almost suceeded, he got almost everyone transfered or out.

    Obama stopped the war in iraq and pulled mostly out of aghanistan.

    Nice whataboutism doesnt change the fact trumps a hypocrit.

    So, it was the other dems that kept him from closing it? No help was needed from the GOP in Jan 2009-2011 when the left had the super majority. Also, when you say "transferred" out, you mean when he let the top terrorists go back to Iraq and Afghanistan?

    Wrong, Bush had set that time table to stop the war in Iraq.

    All politicians are. Its whether or not the citizens who follow them blindly follow them.
