I sure wouldn’t be here without immigration.

Nobody with white skin would be here without immigration. The hypocrisy is so ignorant and depressing.

Americans are an independent lot, we usually live as a single family, occasionally adding elderly parents only when they can't function on their own. In other countries, however, everyone lives together with close family ties through many generations of loving relatives, all dependent on one another. You can't ask them to break apart and leave the grandparents behind and abandon the aunties and uncles, any more than you could tell parents to leave their own kids behind.

Trump and his ilk are racists. They don't want to let any dark skinned foreigners enter the US, and this objection to family reunification is the best excuse they could come up with.

...one of my 20 + year friends family is from Mexico and they are very much an extended family as well.

and they all had huge families. I carpooled with an Indian doc and she often talked about her family, saying that all the kids were expected to go to college and get a professional career, even the girls. They were very industrious and everyone worked, often starting their own businesses, running hotels, office buildings, restaurants and convenience stores, keeping it all in the family.

I know mine wouldn't

anywhere else, you fail.

I doubt very much they would have passed the merit test repukes would like....the "merits" would be made so that those who qualify would not want or NEED to leave their country.

Trump's mother would have been denied cuz she spoke no english when she came to Ellis Island.
