Trump's mother Màiri Anna Nic Leòid was a penniless migrant who spoke English as her 2nd language. The tenth child of an impoverished crofter who arrived in America as a domestic worker.
Her son is now charging $5 million a visa to shut the gates in the face of people like her. https://t.co/urjlW4lzZ9

JD Vance: “immigration shouldn’t exist. American citizenship is a special, spiritual thing. If your ancestors didn’t bleed on the Mayflower you aren’t a heritage (read: real) American”

However, as with so many Trump administration schemes, it’s unlikely to pass legal scrutiny.
A couple of thoughts:

– Trump can't do anything like this without Congress. The president can't sell green cards. Period. https://t.co/3PxkzTc2wn— Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) February 25, 2025
