How Would Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Have Affected His Own Team?

[The Barbarian]

The families of many of Trump's staff would not have been allowed in.

“From the days of the Puritans to the present, every generation of Americans has believed that the latest wave of immigrants is completely different from—and inferior to—their own immigrant ancestors and could never become true Americans.” From White House adviser Stephen Miller to Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren, many prominent anti-immigration voices advocate for immigration policies like merit-based systems and language-based preferences that would have barred their own families from coming to the United States...

The good news is that while we’ve been hearing about the evils of immigration for centuries, the country appears to have continually weathered the storm. I suspect we’re going to be just fine moving forward.

After all, some of those immigrants’ descendants have even ended up in the White House.

How Would Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Have Affected His Own Team?

Neither Trump's mother nor his paternal grandparents would have qualified to enter America under the immigration system proposed by the President!

"The Donald's" mother, Mary Anne MacLeod (1912–2000), was born near Stornoway, in the Western Isles of Scotland, the daughter of a fisherman. She immigrated to the United States in 1929, at age 17, and worked as a maid in New York where she met and married Trump's father, in 1936. Mary became a U.S. citizen in 1942.

Trump's paternal grandparents, Frederick Trump emigrated from Kallstadt, part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, to the United States in 1885, at age 16. He became a U.S. citizen in 1892 and made his fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush by operating a restaurant and hotel business to accommodate gold seekers in Bennett and later Whitehorse.

Frederick returned to Kallstadt, married Elizabeth Christ (1880-1966) in 1902, and then the couple moved back to the United States. Fred Trump, Donald's father, was brought up in a German-speaking household, but after World War II and until the 1980s, the family told people they waere of Swedish ancestry.
