Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing Trump, and we are discussing the incoming Administration's need to understand Family-based Immigration is a very different thing from other areas of the Immigration experience if you will. What am I talking about here? Well first of all understand that in the past Trump Administration, in my opinion they just sort of struck out on all the worst elements of Immigration. First of all, especially with Stephen Miller, they did a ton of things to the legal Immigration system that I felt were both unnecessary, violated basic notions of due process, and quite frankly were also kind of cowardly. And what do I mean?

Well, they had two years to pass comprehensive Immigration reform. I discussed that in another video recently and I discussed that at the time, Trump had two years with the Republican Congress to go ahead and try to get Immigration legislation passed; it didn't happen. Now I kind of give Trump a bit of a pass for that for a couple of reasons. One he was coming in, it was his first two years; he was a bit inexperienced, and by a bit I mean he had never been part of the federal infrastructure at all up to that point and had just entered in as President. He didn't know where the levers were; Carter was actually kind of similar in his term of office. Secondly, he had a lot of folks including within his own, “his own” - there's a difference between Trump and the Republican party, you need to understand that to understand the American sort of political machinations as they play out, so understand that first. But he got a bunch of blow back from his own party and from the so-called "Deep State" - the bureaucrats that are sort of embedded in the American Bureaucracy - he got a bunch of pushback and was not able to make a lot of inroads there. The point I am trying to make is this time around, especially these first two years, he has got a genuine mandate to do anything about Immigration, do something about Immigration. 

My hope is rather than fighting over the nitpickity fine points of these different visas, like this H-1B kerfuffle that has come up here recently, that's not the point. We need to throw out the entire old system and write a new body of law, comprehensive Immigration Law to deal with the new reality of Immigration, most notably the fact we have been invaded for the past 4 years and have had effectively no Southern Border or no Southern Border security that I have particularly seen which has led to horrors in terms of trafficking of women and children and all kinds of stuff to say nothing of the fact that invasion of our country undermines our country, setting that aside to itself. 

That being said, again the big thing I hope out of this Administration is one) they will understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration - which illegal immigration could also be defined as invasion - they will understand the difference between those things and also understand there's a fundamental difference between Family-based Immigration especially family of American citizens, versus things like Employment Immigration such as the H-1B Visa for example, because again I think that those need to be viewed differently. A person who marries somebody who is from abroad and wants to bring them to the United States, that's a very different thing from a corporation that wants to bring in foreign labour. It's not the same analysis; it's apples and bowling balls to use a term I've heard in the past. 

The point I am trying to make is I very much hope the Trump Administration understands these differences, understand these nuances and goes after the problems in the Immigration system but doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water and cause problems for legitimate legal immigrants who are family members of American citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents.
