Trump: NY City Terror Suspect ‘Point of Contact’ for 23 Additional Immigrants & The Grave Danger of Chain Migration and Amnesties

 Breitbart

President Donald Trump warned that “chain migration” continued to be a problem, pointing out that the suspected New York City terrorist was the “primary point of contact” for 23 additional people trying to enter the United States.

“That’s not acceptable,” Trump said.

A source speaking to ABC News confirmed Trump’s citation but said it was unclear if those people were immediate family members, distant family members, or friends.

The suspected terrorist, Sayfullo Saipov, came to the United States in 2010 via the Diversity Visa Program and lived in Paterson, New Jersey, with his wife and three children.

He is originally from Uzbekistan and was reportedly radicalized online while living in the United States.

Trump vowed to respond to the attack with toughness, urging law enforcement officials to continue fighting terrorism.

“Terrorists are constantly seeking to strike our nation, and it will require the unflinching devotion to our law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence professionals to keep America safe,” he said.

 The Grave Danger of Chain Migration and Amnesties

In September, the U.S. Census Bureau released data that showed the U.S. immigrant population had reached 43.7 million in July 2016. This total, including both legal and illegal immigrants, was 13.5 percent of the total U.S. population, the highest proportion since 1910 and roughly double the percentage as recently as 1980. This does not include more than 16 million children born in the U.S. with at least one legal or illegal immigrant parent. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimates that the immigrant population in 2016 was higher, about 45.6 million.

Immigration is changing the demographics of the U.S. population dramatically. Politically, it is moving the electorate to a strong Democrat Party and left-liberal advantage. As Rep. Steve King (R, IA) pointed out in 2013, the 1986 Reagan Amnesty resulted in an additional 15 million votes for Barack Obama in 2008. Ironically, Obama could not have won without the 1986 Reagan Amnesty. 

Reagan was not comfortable with amnesty, but he was told it would only be about 800,000, about the size of the proposed DACA Amnesty. Because of widespread application fraud and loose Federal processing in 1986, it turned out to be 2.75 million amnesties. Congress then gave six supplemental amnesties, bringing the total to 6.0 million. Then the powerful chain migration multiplier for legal immigration and the inevitable increase in illegal immigration encouraged by amnesties kicked in. 

According to his former Attorney General, Ed Meese, Reagan considered the 1986 amnesty the biggest mistake of his eight years in office.
