“The bill he favors would change the law to bar naturalized citizens from petitioning to bring their parents, adult or married children, and siblings. Only spouses and children under age 18 (down from the current 21) would be eligible.

Trump also wants to abolish the diversity visa lottery, which takes up to 50,000 people each year from countries that are underrepresented in other categories. He would limit refugee admissions, which numbered 85,000 in 2016, to an annual maximum of 45,000.

In all, his plan would slash legal immigration by as much as half, the most drastic cut in nearly a century. On Wednesday, Trump threatened to veto any bill that doesn’t include such limits.

And what's wrong with any of this? What is the right number of legal immigrants that we should allow annually? How many refugees should we allow? How is defining immigration limits align with your statement of "ethnic cleansing". To me, that's quite the extrapolation of his position.
 
“Not once has he proposed rounding up illegals and shipping them home. He’s left of Obama on immigration.”

Do you realize how stupid you sounded with that post? Lol.

Carry on.

He has not proposed that. His plan is to stop the flow into the country (via eliminating chain migration and visa lottery and a wall) in return he will push for citizenship to double the number of “dreamers” than even Hillary did. He’s also one of just a few Rs that has gone so far as to recommend citizenship. Most have stopped at legal status.

Do you know how dumb the claim the above policy proposal sounds like ethnic cleansing is? The only illegals that are being rounded up are those that are committing crimes in this country. I’m sure a few will get caught up in raids as well, but they ARE here illegally. They are not being targeted though.

Every person in this country illegally has committed a crime. So everyone detained by ICE by definition is a criminal. To me they are being generous just to limit it to people who have committed additional crimes.

Why should adults, just because they are related to someone, be allowed to immigrate to the USA? Why shouldn't they have to go through the same legal process as anyone else?

Chain migration for anyone except immediate family is stupid and so is having a visa lottery.
