    President Trump has begun derisively using the term “chain migration” to describe the system that allows U.S. citizens to sponsor relatives to come to the U.S., and then allows those immigrants to become citizens and sponsor other relativeshttp://on.wsj.com/2Ca7hpq

        People is already stop coming to the US. Family reunification is important. College/graduate students, vacationers are all avoiding the US already.

        There has to be some limits on family migration. Bringing once parents or kids is ok with certain minimum waiting period. There are cases where they bought dozens of family members. Instead of curtailing skill based immigration, it makes sense to put limits on chain migration.

        Waiting period to have your children with you? Eff the US. This is a big planet and opportunity abounds everywhere now that @realDonaldTrump is cutting the US at the knees. Macron already offering big money to climate scientists.

        There are many challenges to their arguments, big one is economic. Family reunification is what support America 1st doctrine. I can actually demonstrate this from tons of studies which were designed to prove a different point than this one due to limited inquiry of research.

        @TheDemocrats have an economic argument that can challenge @realDonaldTrump administration in this issue using America first doctrine. Or maybe we are in a so serious era in which politicians can't anymore win trough the force of arguments and can't enjoy debates anymore. Sad.

        You need to stem the tide of muslim migration. All you do is increase your risk.

        If the terrorist asshole had been successful, some Americans wouldn't have been able to be with their families, they'd be dead. Fair to say? I get your point completely, and one bad seed shouldn't dictate the rest, but it goes both ways. All I was getting at.

        That's a fair point. My position is by stopping chain immigration, we are blocking the wrong people; the families of the type of hard working people that truly make America great.
