If you look back in history, you can find millions of immigrants in every country who have long ago acquired citizenship. I join them too, because I found help from Global Citizen and their citizenship investment programs. They turned out to be very useful for me because it is the easiest way to get citizenship in any country, especially the USA.

there job is to apologize and legtimize tiki torch waves nazis.

I often am accused of paying attention to...oh...I don't know..."laws--n-stuff". Silly habit--apparently. No more "illegal alien", "illegal immigrant". We've even sped past verbiage of "undocumented worker". "Dreamers". Trying not to show sarcasm.

Darn, you beat me on that one. However, I have a different take on this: I have hated the Phrase “We are a nation of immigrants”. It denigrates the indigenous peoples and tends to make the immigration policy only about people instead of a ‘sustainable’ (in the true sense) and reasoned based policy. This issue is extremely divisive and often is only about extremes of a completely closed or open door policy. Both are destructive and, to me immoral. Excessive immigration has and still is causing more countries to turn to the right. It was a big issue behind Brexit and tRump’s election and is pushing many other country's to the right.

This is an extremely complicated and critical issue for many countries. I was there when the wall fell in Germany and saw first hand what the massive influx of immigrants did to Germany. My late partner was from Iran and went through a nightmare time to get her legal papers. She and many others hated to see the mockery of our laws that happened when people came here illegally and got a free pass. I, myself had to get residence papers to stay in Germany and know a little of the struggle that entails. I have Syrian/Turkish friends (I am the godfather to one child) and had to make a difficult decision to sponsor them (there were so many sub-issues we did not sponsor them and their situation actually improved). My own partner was asked by 2 of her brothers, whom she loved dearly, to sponsor them to the US and she said no.(one is now, with his family in Vancouver BC). The externalities on this issue are deep and long and way too many look for easy answers. That ends up hurting everyone citizens and immigrants alike. Immigration (border security) must not be emotion and individual people based but evidence and reason based!

This means Trump's America is changing from open arms to "talk to the hand" in your face straight arm. Sad. Solution is vote Congressional Democrats in office 2018, this November.If you are a voter, know what you should now.

All that Cissna and the entire Trump administration are doing is showing that they are stupidly and unpatriotically proving that they are the worst of ethnocentric bigots. Throw the entire lot of them out on their rears!!

Remember white folk are under attack and fear the loss of their majority standing in America. This current administration is deplorable.

As some media outlets I listen to, they've started using the sound bite: "Now, the Trump administration wants to remove LEGAL immigration."

EDIT: Well, this is disheartening: "...There are already indications that the new leadership is encouraging applications to be processed more slowly and with more scrutiny. In winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, they were more aggressive than Trump’s statements implied. At the same time, there’s been an apparent slowdown in the processing of naturalization applications and of work permits for some categories of immigrants...."

It's just Another one of their sabotages: just let it fail. ( I'm glad I'm not American. )
