Are we talking about "immigrants" or illegal aliens? Either way, we are allowing far too many people into our country in too short a time. We don't have the resources, jobs, etc. to sustain this.
Until the laws are changed, it is what it is. A scenario I have come across often is a foreign female marries an American, becomes a citizen, brings her parents over who get healthcare and financial assistance and live out their life on public dole. After becoming citizens, the parents can bring their children over.
Basically, the laws allow naturalized citizens to bring over their parents and children.
Trump’s grandfather and mother both followed their siblings to this country. The president’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, left Germany in 1885. His sister had already immigrated to New York and settled in a Manhattan enclave known at the time as Kleindeutschland, or Little Germany. The president’s Scottish-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, also followed family to New York, joining two sisters in the city in 1929, according to The New Yorker.
Migrants like Friedrich and Mary Anne didn’t need their family members to sponsor them for immigrant visas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the U.S. had a liberal policy of admitting European settlers. But migrating to join siblings or other relatives, as Trump’s ancestors did, is precisely the phenomenon the president has repeatedly pledged to end.
