    Good tweet. I would add, since Dems aren't making the argument: chain migration is good. People lead happier & more successful lives if they bring family with them.https://twitter.com/CleverTitleTK/status/951485584090034176 …

    So Dan. Let's say Victor Scavino arrives from Canelli, Italy in 1904, then brother Hector in 1905, brother Gildo in 1912, sister Esther in 1913, & sister Clotilde and their father Giuseppe in 1916, and they live together in NY. Do you think that would count as chain migration? https://twitter.com/Scavino45/status/950909774023020545 …

        Can't believe "family values" Republicans take issue with this.

        And that's how most of our families got here in the first place--whether that was last decade or more than a century ago. If America is so great, why the hell wouldn't we bring our loved ones with us?

        although we might all be happier if Don hadn't brought Ivanka, Jared, Eric and Donny Jr to DC.

        should a relative be given an advantage to migrating to the US over someone who is in a much worse situation and would benefit more and contribute more to the society?

        I saw the term "family reunification" immigration policy - why use the Republican propaganda term "chain" migration?

        The ONLY way to refer to this is "family reunification". We must push back against any journalist (or, God forbid, Democrat) who uses Trump's terminology.
