Trump admin immigration changes? [merged threads]

[Jumboeggs 3]

Last time he paused all employment based green card processing (during covid). Reckon any such extreme measures immediately? or a more sustainable approach like the RAISE act he tried to put in place, but couldnt because he didnt control the house(he might this time).

Took my wife and I 23 months to get the K1 done under Joe Biden. If you look at wait times under Trump it was less than half that time. I think Biden's focus was on helping illegals, not those of us who went about it the right way.

the cost of sending 11 million illegals home is something we can not afford  so that Trump statement is rediculous

Sending people to their home countries to do it the right way is a lot cheaper than taking care of those same people for an indefinite amount of time in the US. 

 

Someone has to pay for the housing, education, medical care etc. The American people have to pay for that. 

 

I happily and voluntarily chose to financially support my wife through a legal process where she was vetted. I did NOT consent to my taxpayer dollars go to financially support 11 million illegals.

 

Notice how anyone who supports illegal immigration never wants to volunteer to have random illegal aliens living in their household. If they want illegals in their home with their family, let ME choose who lives with them.

I'm assuming none of this affects LPRs/green card holders when they file N-400 for naturalization and getting their citizenships? Maybe minor delays due to staffing?

 

Asking because my wife is coming up on 3 years the summer of 2025, when she'll be eligible to file.

We don't know. The process can take longer.

-Took care of Illegal immigrant issue: agree.

-More agents at border : Agree.

Only issue I'm concern about is tariff. China not gonna pay for tariff. Companies in US will pay for it since they're import it, so do you think that they will just eat the cost of tariff then call it a lost, or they gonna raise the cost of products and passing it to consumers?

I tend to agree with you about tariffs, the costs will be passed on to the consumers much the same way corporate taxes are passed on to the consumers.  That being said, when there is unfair trade, something needs to be done, and tariffs (wto is a joke) seem to be the main tool.

The election is done, so we will see. As a democrats, I have no hesitate put my vote for a traditional republican like John McCain or Mitt Romney over Kamala, but with Trump, I can't. In fact, we will never see a traditional republican like both of them for a long time from now on.

Will we see a traditional Dem candidate, or are we looking at DEIs?

It is interesting to compare say the Canadian and US approach, much harder to be an illegal in Canada.

There isn't a single illegal alien unemployed in your state? Not a single one attending school on the taxpayers dime? Not a single illegal getting an education for free? Nobody illegal getting free Healthcare, housing or groceries?

 

We have too many people in this country who struggle, we need to take care of those people first. 

 

There is NO reason why anyone should have an easier time getting into this country than those of us on this site who have spent years and money doing things the right way. Go through the process like good, honest people have done or return to your country and get in line like so many of us have done with our loved ones.

It really depends on your definition of a traditional Republican.  If you mean someone that goes to DC and eventually caves to whatever the Democrats want, then definitely McCain and Romney fit that bill.  Someone needs to try and reign in the bloated federal bureaucracy, now I am not sure Trump will be able to do it, but he has a better chance than any Democrat or Republican DC establishment type.
