The Memo: Trump's new immigration plan finds few friends

President Trump unveiled a new immigration plan on Thursday in the White House Rose Garden, only to be met by outrage from liberals and ambivalence from conservatives.

The reaction underscored how troublesome the politics of immigration is for the administration, especially when it departs from the simpler — if polarizing — path of the president’s calls to build a border wall.

The new proposal urges a shift from an immigration system based primarily around family relationships to one based around education and job skills. It was largely the brainchild of Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.

But the plan is noticeable as much for what it does not contain as for what it does — and for its slim chances of making it through Congress while Democrats control the House.

Well it's like Trump who also has few friends aside from the socially challenged misfits who think that grabbing a woman by the pussy is a way of saying hello.
