As you may have noticed, I am trying to add some other legal immigration news and information on programs that must be reformed as we have the best window ever for reform in Washington.
In fact, the Trump team should be at this very minute crafting legislation to send to The Hill to abolish or reform several legal immigration programs that have outlived any usefulness they may have ever had—the US Refugee Admissions Program, Temporary Protected Status and that truly insane Diversity Visa Lottery. All the worker and investor visa programs should also be rewritten or trashed (but I don’t have enough energy for those, and others, like NumbersUSA, are doing good work there).
Frankly, if Trump’s Administration doesn’t take the initiative on reforming our legal immigration system, it will never happen. See my post yesterday about the six REPUBLICAN Senators eager for more refugees (can you say cheap labor!).
Here are the Top Three Posts of the past week.
Note that one of those is about the insane Diversity Visa Lottery. (Top three posts of the last day are in the right hand side bar):
If your city has low income housing (or a greedy meatpacker nearby!) you could get refugees
Another 50,000 wannabe migrants to US learned if they won the lottery to America this week
Minnesota Dept of Health needs $5 million to fight infectious diseases in immigrant population
I haven’t mentioned Top Ten Countries lately, so here below are where readers hailed from who read RRW this past week. There were 134 countries on the list, but here are the top ten (excluding the US):
Canada
UK
Australia
South Africa
Germany
Brazil
Philippines
Kenya
Netherlands
Norway
For new readers!
In this older round-up I outlined how to learn more about RRW and the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program. All of my round-ups may be found in my ‘blogging’ category by clicking here. Yikes! I see that my first video is now at 2.9 million views!
Thanks as always for your notes, your gifts of books, donations, and e-mails of support, even if I don’t acknowledge every communication know that I try, but there aren’t enough hours in the day here on the farm.
