Easy to miss: Among certain other directives, Trump tasked #GordonSondland "with developing a proposal to 'fast track' immigration from the EU in consultation with the president’s main #immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, & son-in-law Jared Kushner." 1/

Other diplomats were "unsettled by the idea, viewing it as racially motivated."
"The proposal languished and was eventually dropped."

@CenterOnBudget The #PublicCharge rule would limit #immigration from countries that aren't European (or Canada/Australia/NZ).

Titanic,
