More likely he'd suggest we embargo and blockade China.

Ohwait Trump probably does not know India is a country and would say something like 'but how can Indians be immigrants, they already live in preserves in the US?'

Incredibly trivial fun fact: It takes just shy of 40 seconds from first ring to get the "We're busy" message from the website contact number. The message itself is ~15 seconds long, probably a little more.

Also, the majority of refugees becoming permanent residents are Cuban.

Link to info on that one? Due to our history and policies with Cuba and Cuba being a socialist regieme, Cuban refugees are probably skewed in that data.

I know there is a lot of neat stuff to see here, but it always makes me feel bad for the poor bastards who plan a trip to the US and wind up in Kansas or Ohio or (Armok forbid) Utah.

Well, those states have tourism boards I assume, but fuck... "come to Kansas, it's just like Iowa, Nebraska, uh... the Dakota without the monument, Oklahoma... fuck, nevermind, Kansas: Don't Bother."

Immigration stats for 2014. Page 23.



EDIT: I must say, looking through the immigration statistics is so fun. Shows you just how many misconceptions there are on the subject.

Where did you get that the majority of people getting permanent status are from Cuba? Theres a lot more from Asia than Cuba.

edit: Missed your edit saying where the page is.

edit2: I was looking at the total, nvm, but I don't see a breakdown of refugees by country.

Well, I got through, Isp. Person I talked to didn't have an answer, but they did say that they marked the question down and would direct it towards policy folks whenever they could be tracked down. Also said it's fairly likely they (the person I was talking to, at least) probably wouldn't really be able to get a hold of anyone until wednesday, though. If nothing else, someone's got the question now.

Good luck if y'try as well. Proooobably have to call more than once, heh... think it took 20-25 dials to finally get something besides the answering machine. Not that long time wise... maybe 30, 35 minutes (not of constant calling, but since I started trying to get through) total, which from experience really isn't even remotely bad for trying to contact an organization of this sort or one under similar pressure, work wise.

Found it, page 28, not 23.

@frumple thank you kindly

I'd say "too soon to say" but there's at most three polls before it stops mattering.
