To unpack this a bit, this is not about reducing #immigration - its about signalling to his base that he is being tough on #borders.

Circa 2004, #warCrimes proponents, #Bush, #Blair + #Howard used similar cynical tactics to get re-elected.

They depend on people spreading news like this, which ignores #legalImmigration, that serves the #businessLobby and #propertySpeculators

Legal immigration has remained very high under Trump, approx 1 million entrants per year granted perm'nt residency.
