WH unveils immigration plan laced with white nationalist policy ideas

The White House immigration framework limits forms of legal immigration by eliminating the visa lottery and curbing U.S. migration by extended families — or what the Trump administration pejoratively calls “chain migration” — a big change to current U.S. immigration policy. New citizens would only be able to sponsor their immediate families, like spouses and children, to legally enter the country. Other relatives would be excluded.
Additionally, the Diversity Visa Immigrant Program, which allows up to 50,000 people a year to immigrate to the United States from underrepresented populations is a system that disproportionately benefits African immigrants.

The framework claims the new immigration policy will help around 1.8 million DREAMers, yet makes no mention of what will happen to the undocumented immigrants living in the United States who are not DREAMers, leaving their immigration statuses in limbo.

What the framework does mention in detail, however, is how much the money administration is seeking for border security: a whopping $25 billion.

The White House says the $25 billion would help pay for the cost of a physical barrier at the United States southern border with Mexico and the northern border with Canada. The administration is also seeking funds for more U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lawyers and immigration judges, suggesting that the only thing standing in between President Trump and his deportation ambitions are the number of personnel.
