Bloomberg suggests this is going to get upstaged by the administration's proposed changes; but they're not really revealing any details about the draft. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-30/trump-s-n...

This months old Vanity Fair article gives some insight that Trump feels there is a role for immigration policy to make it easy for foreign students getting good jobs in the U.S. and innovating here; while his senior counselor and strategist thinks there are too many asians in Silicon Valley, and that it risks degrading civil society. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-30/trump-s-n...

But most any substantial change to immigration policy that isn't national security related, must come from Congress.



It looks like you posted the Bloomberg link again the second time, not the Vanity Fair link

The idea that you can have "too many" of any type of person is about an un-american as one can be. Somehow Trump has no problem with 'too many' chubby white supremacists in the white house. Oh right, whites get a pass on everything. Its only non-whites that have to worry about being too high profile or too successful as to not upset whites. Or dating/marrying white women.

This is straight up racism, open and direct from the white house. I'm not sure how anyone is tolerating this and why there isn't more of an uproar.


I'm tired of this "un-american" nonesense. I remember when it was "un-american" to oppose the Iraq war.

Not wanting to be inundated with foreigners is a valid political position whether you like it or not.


These people aren't "foreigners" they're naturalized citizens. The criticism isn't that there's too many of them, but too many in leadership and wealth positions. That is racism in a nutshell regardless of how you Trump types want to spin it. So Asians can't own businesses or "too many" but whites can own an unlimited amount? Oh ok.


Blatant racism and bigotry is valid? Irish and Italians were once niggers in America too. My view is racist assholes are human, have free speech rights, should not be silenced, but like any cockroach should have light shined on them and their perverted beliefs. Y'all need to read you some John Rawls and learn about the "veil of ignorance" rather than being so fucking ignorant.
