“Wolf said immigrant visas were chosen because people with those visa are the most difficult to remove after arriving in the United States.”
Meaning such people can easily claim asylum status if removal proceedings start making them difficult to ethnic cleanse

If only they thought to “pay cash” like Saudi Arabia, they wouldn’t be in this bind.
Trump hasn’t said where this billion dollars in the bank is, or even which bank, and the Pentagon doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but I’m sure it’ll trickle down to Real Americans some day soon.

They have already reduced legal immigration to a trickle by putting up bureaucratic barriers and catch-22s.
Either the “wrong” people have been finding ways through regardless, or this new ban is just chest-thumping to fire up his base.

While the merits of this may certainly be questionable, I’m curious what race you all think this is discriminatory against?
