Trump doesn't make laws. He would like it to be what he mentioned but Congress has to implement and pass laws. I don't think family based legal immigration cuts in the pipeline.

I guess he (or his advisors) did not realize that one already needs to be a US CITZ under current rules in order to be able to sponsor those family members. Or may be he forgot that his third wife's family were once in the same boat that he ( or his base so badly wants to scuttle).Ignorance is a bliss. Last edited: 31-Jan-18 11:40 AM

If congress is ready to implement what Trump said can you still sponsor green card for your parents ?

hard truth most immigrant parents = free babysitters with free meal and roof .. storm is coming LOL...

Gwachaquarian - Perhaps he meant people from third world countries. I don't think that he wants to restrict immigration from western Europe, Canada, or Australia/Newzealand.

I really hope they stop chain migration and lottery visa

pepsi, do you even how how hard is to qualify for medicaid or medicare? just because you are in green card doesn't qualify for medicaid or medicare. Most of the people that I know doesn't qualify because you need to work for certain hours for certain years in order to qualify.
