    Jagdish Patel came to the U.S. from India in 1968 and eventually sponsored his wife and 6 siblings. Their descendants include doctors, dentists and a venture capitalist. This is the face of family-based migration, which President Trump wants to limit.https://nyti.ms/2OtRxTS

        “Limit” doesn’t equal a ban on all! A faster approval and more vetting- YES! Not all family migration is equal to this. This is just as misleading as saying all immigrants are rapists and murderers- right?

        As well as conflating legal immigration and illegal. All immigrants are not equal, and using this one family, who prob has a few black sheep, is not representative of an entire class of people. Nicaraguans generally not equal to educated Indians or Chinese

        In trump’s defense, if family migration was eliminated, he wouldn’t have to deal with his in-laws.

        Sounds like this man and his family are EXACTLY the sort of folks who would be allowed to immigrate to rhe USA under a MERIT BASED immigration system proposed by Trump? So what’s the point/problem? Bet he and his family even speak English and didn’t demand a bilingual education!

        They suck at owning hotels though. Everyone I've been to that says it's owned by a Patel has been crap.

        Indians are different people.Just like Asians-they are the best & most intelligent-also Jewish people are extremely intelligent thus whatever point you are trying to make in this blog doesn’t matter.Unchecked Immigration from low skilled countries is a burden for civil societies

        Yes. He came over with a good education. He was able to contribute. Trump does not want to end this, you're lying in your headline #FakeNews

        Unless it's my wife's family. Unfortunately I gotta let them in, or no sex for me. And it's too difficult to smuggle porn stars into the @WhiteHouse #StormyDaniels

        And that’s what makes America great. Contributions from many people from different parts of the world and Americans that welcome them.

        Asia contains lots of diverse countries with very different value sets. It has countries with high ethical values like Japan 🇯🇵 and also sources of terrorism like Pakistan 🇵🇰. Don’t club them together as a source.

        Wrong! That's the face of immigrants who are welcome since they were willing to go by the law. The illegals are the problem and don't try to twist and turn it into Americans being against all immigrants.
