Activists have been telling me for the better part of a decade that reporters they speak with have no interest in changes to legal immigration numbers, despite multiple legislative attempts to double the annual immigration rate. That has changed over the past two years as candidate-now-President Trump has suggested reducing the numbers.
Chain Migration is under threat. Likely mid-term voters and the President want to see an end to the extended-family preference categories. Reporters today are retweeting a story from the Washington Post that uses a small part of the legislative history to try to explain why anyone would want to end Chain Migration today (spoiler: The Post thinks it's bigotry).
