Legal Immigration Is Being Dismantled

Trump has reduced the number of refugees accepted from 125,000 to only 7,500 which is the lowest in history. Of those 7,500, they are giving preference to white South Africans who claim they are being persecuted by having a majority Black nation. That claim doesn't hold water. Does anyone remember the apartheid in South Africa where whites controlled the country despite being a minority? The apartheid lasted for 46 years, and only ended when they held democratic elections in 1994 and Nelson Mandela became president.

Through their actions and their speeches, it's clear that Trump, Marco Rubio, and Stephen Miller only want rich white people to enter the country. Trump created his $1,000,000 "golden visa" so anyone with the money can bypass the system. They've increased the fees significantly for all of the immigration filing fees and there's a huge backlog of cases. It can take years for even a spouse to get a visa and over a decade for other family members. Trump created a $1,000 fee for refugees, but thankfully it looks like a federal judge is about to overturn that. They have been threatening the sponsors of immigrants with lawsuits and fines for any immigrant that uses public assistance. They've started charging $100,000 fees for H1-B worker visas which is used by a lot of rural hospitals to recruit physicians. Their entire immigration agenda is racist and despicable. Immigrants are the fabric of our communities and they are badly needed. We have to fight back against these changes!
