Democrats Fear Debate about Dreamers Will Pivot to One on ‘Chain Migration’
National Review ^ | 1/22/18 | John Fund

Posted on 01/22/2018 10:17:59 AM PST by randita

The more Americans focus on immigration policy, the worse the Democrats will look. No one knows when the government shutdown will be ended, but it’s increasingly likely that Democrats will rue the day they launched it. “I’m concerned that we don’t have an exit strategy,” one Democratic aide for a liberal senator told NBC News on Sunday. He went on to say: “This is a question of who’s going to flinch first.”

One reason Democrats are nervous is that the longer the shutdown goes on, the longer voters will start to realize the Democrats are fighting not so much for the Dreamers — people brought to this country as children by adults who entered illegally — but for the concepts of “chain migration” and the “diversity lottery,” which have done so much to warp our immigration policy and make it a shambles.

Absolutely. Between now and Feb 8 hammer them on chain migration, visa lottery, and FULLY FUNDING THE WALL.

This is now a PR battle that is certainly winnable.

Every position dims take on immigration is all about harnessing future dim voters.

Dunno, but the Democrat Party routinely ignores laws and court orders.

We MUST get everything: end chain migration. end visa lottery, mandatory e-verify for all employment and benefits, end anchor babies, massively increased enforcement inside the country and at the border including fully funding the wall.

Or they get nothing and are removed as their illegal permits expire.

DAPA, the second illegal amnesty for illegal aliens was found to be illegal.
No one sued to stop DACA because we don’t have an opposition party.

End chain migration.

Matter of fact, suspend ALL immigration for at least five years.

That's what the Dems are really being sneaky about....

trying to get Trump to agree with (uphold) DACA and...therefore giving Obama a win.

Remember, Trump ended DACA.

It’s very simple.

This country cannot survive if we don’t eliminate chain migration. We are bringing over a million new people into this country, every year, without considering in any way what skills or talents they might have or how they can contribute to our society. The fact is, many are coming here simply to collect welfare.

This policy is absolutely insane and has all but destroyed the American working class. The only winners from chain migration are the democrat party elites and the big business fat cats. They will also be the two groups rabidly opposed to eliminating it.
