An article in the Huffington Post, appearing on November 24, 2019, is a “must read” for anyone who feels that our country’s immigration policy has shifted dramatically notwithstanding the fact that no new legislation has been passed.  The article reports on how a small group of anti-immigration hardliners has managed to drastically reduce even legal immigration.  This was done without the approval of either political party.  The article also chronicles the history of immigration in the US, shining a bright light on the fact that history does, in fact, repeat itself.
