    I do not think our immigration rate is too high currently. I'd worry a bit that curtailment of legal immigration will magnify illegal immigration. But, at least I only have policy objections to this one and it isn't for once an issue of the character flaws of our president (though, polishing his nativist bona fides was probably a plus in his decisionmaking).

    Yes, generally speaking I prefer to oppose racist and nationalist policies.

    So: He wants people to come into the country legally at a reduced rate == He doesn't want people to come to the country legally at all???

    Flip-flop logic.

    Plenty of opportunity for the legislation to get amended as it runs through Congress.

    The immigration % of the population currently is almost the same as 100 years ago.

    I don't think that this will be a very popular plan.

    With his base it will be.

    The attack on illegal immigration has always been a way to mask the real issue; too many minorities.

    Well yes, and 100 years ago the immigrants tended to be white..... although at the time they were viewed as trash by many.

    A city that limits its cooperation with the national government effort to enforce immigration law.
