DOING WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO:

Melania's Family Immigration Lawyer Blasts Trump Policy (Matthew Chapman, August 12, 2018, AlterNet.)

One such person who noticed this contradiction was Michael Wildes, the former mayor of Englewood, NJ, and the attorney who represented the Knavses during the immigration process in the first place. And he is not happy about what Trump has been saying. [...]

'Let me take off one hat as the First Lady's immigration lawyer and her family, and put on my own personal hat. It's unconscionable to scare people into believing that. You cannot bring nephews. You cannot bring neices or uncles. You can't bring 32 people here. And some of the quotas are backed up for 10 or 15 years from particular countries."

"This whole notion of 'chain migration' is actually a beautiful bedrock of immigration law and policy, called family reunification," he went on. "Imagine this. People will work harder and love more and do more for America, knowing that their loved ones, their immediate relatives, their parents, their children, to say you can bring one relative and not another relative, I can understand that some of them may be in jeopardy, and you may want to retool and ancient migration system ... but chain migration is not family reunification."
