"Does the applicant speak English? Can they support themselves and their families financially? Do they have a skill that will add to the U.S. economy?"

I had not heard of the Resistance Genealogy project, that's pretty cool.
As I recall, at one time Our Cheetoh In Chief advocated that you couldn't vote unless you were a fourth generation American, which would have excluded himself.
I have no problem with reforms to our immigration system: it is extremely permissive. Canada's is more restrictive! But you can't reform it with an axe, you need to do it over time in a phased methodology so you don't screw up people already in the pipeline. This administration doesn't care if they're darker than, well, I was going to say Drumpf, but he's more yellow/orange than white, so not a good comparison.
