But it could come at the expense of legal migration, which President Trump has said he favors: Some agency staff members said closing overseas offices will make it more difficult and time-consuming to apply to immigrate from abroad, especially for refugees already in the United States who hope to bring other family members to join them.
“This is another instance of the Trump administration halting legal immigration by denying people the opportunity to file for immigration benefits in the most expedient manner,” said Margaret Stock, a retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and an immigration attorney who frequently handles such cases.
Seriously, f*** this racist POS. As someone who has been following the changes to immigration and has a personal stake in this issue, I can attest to the idea that, if anything, this article is underselling just how awful this administration is to immigrants, and it should be obvious to any intellectually honest person
why immigration is being changed.
