Trump to Crack Down on / Eliminate Immigration from Third World Countries?

Hoo boy.

So very Trumpian.

That's to say:

It's nutty, precipitous, and, for all I know illegal.

But:

   It's immeasurably better than the Dems' recent approach to immigration, especially as exemplified by the most recent Democrat administration...which is to say: de facto open borders.

   I'd prefer a saner, more sober set of reforms that throttled back on Third World immigration, carefully vetting individuals and admitting only those who share our values and will be assets to the nation. Give priority to people from nations that tend to share our ideals--the UK and other Anglophone countries, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc.  And: no public assistance for immigrants except in very special cases. And: immediate deportation for immigrants that commit violent and other serious crimes.

   Trump's semi-literate tweet is nauseating in the extreme, and this new policy can't be well-thought-out. Nevertheless, it manages to approximate something reasonable more closely than anything the Democrats can be expected to do any time in the near future.

   So here we are again, in the same situation we've been in over and over for most of the last decade: Trump wants to do something nutty...but less nutty than what the Dems are likely to do.
