Trump is winning on immigration and the media hates it

Washington Examiner:

There’s one major difference between the immigrant terrorist story and the other two about Moore and Gillibrand: The media can’t make the immigrant terrorist story bad for the White House.

On Monday, Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national, secured a pipe bomb to his body and then detonated it in a busy Times Square subway station. The bomb mostly fizzled, injuring only Ullah, who told authorities after that he had been inspired by the Islamic State.

Ullah’s ticket to the U.S. came in the form of a green card, which he received not because he had something substantial to offer — he drove for a car service, which anyone with legs and arms can do — but because his mother is the sister of a U.S. citizen.

That’s the way the vast majority of immigrants come to the U.S., while other foreigners, including high-skilled workers who want a better life, too, wait their turn and hope for the best.

In English, getting an advantage because of (loose) family connections is called nepotism. In America (where language is not an issue), it’s called “chain migration.”

Trump on Tuesday renewed calls for Congress to end chain migration, and his director of Citizen and Immigration Services made the case for why.

Francis Cissna, the director, told reporters that under the current system, the standards to chain migrate or to win a green card through the random lottery are so low that virtually anyone — say, a Muslim Uber driver who might eventually want to blow up a subway station — can abuse it.
...
I suspect that chain migration will be killed in any immigration reform, and that Trump's poll numbers will go up becaue it is killed.
