chain migration brings in relatives of Americans from other countries. They are sponsored by the Americans , which helps with intergration and means they are not any welfare burden .
Why would conservatives be against this ? Especially since it was their idea decades ago .
The idea was sort of like that.
Instead it has become a back door for an additional millions of Third Worlders that we don't need and who are a burden on US.
A naturalized citizen would certainly care for his wife and child. His second cousin? And his wife, and their 5 kids? Not so much.
That’s not how it works .
You can’t just bring over anyone at anytime . Close family is priority, and it takes years . Being a sponcer means you are responsible as the immigrant doesn’t qualify for government benefits .
Then it won't be a hardship if we change the rules to be JUST close family.
