Trump’s Insane Green Card Policy Doesn’t Have to Be Legal to Work (w/ Doug Rand)

Video Overview & Insights

Catherine Rampell welcomes former DHS official Doug Rand to take on Trump’s purposely chaotic new green card policy, why legal immigrants and Silicon Valley are panicking, and how the administration may be using confusion and fear to push people out of the country.

Thank you Trump!!

the strictest immigration laws are self defeating.
A bar on reentry just causes those immigrants to not want to leave because they cant come back no matter what.
Paying illegal immigrant $4000 dollars to self deport is just paying people who have nothing to lose by doing so.
I voted for Trump to build the wall and deport newly arriving illegals, not U.S citizens family's, and because his opponent was for open borders.
To be clear. Trumps policy does not deny birthright citizenship to children of green card holders.

His policy has been repeated multiple times that one parent must be a U.S citizen or permanent resident , and if a permanent resident, their spouse must be in the U.S legally.
He has never said that that both parents have to be U.S citizens.
This is more lenient than what it would be if I had it my way. A child would be required to have at least one parent that's a U.S citizen.

7:40 diabolical. More of the effort to strip the government so they can put in place the new reich's right.

Tell me it's not true that DOJ talking they have authority to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty? today's date 2026 June 9. I guess a natural extension of wrecking ball bashing all that represented the ideals of American democracy up until 2015

@dplj4428

There are laws, and of course these people want open borders, because all these people count for the census and their friendly NGOs won’t get all the taxpayers dollars to defend illegals.

It’s a privilege to stay in the US, not an automatic right.

It’s not tru what he says. I had to have a medical appointment, plus X-ray of lungs, plus pay fees, plus interview at the embassy of my country of origin before I was accepted for my green card. And I was married to an American citizen.

I just love how you word it like they have a right to be here by any means necessary, just follow the law, get rid of these loopholes and end birthright citizenship

No one questioned the wisdom of idiot Joe Biden allowing in 15 million illegal aliens but this very logical policy is called insane. A country with no borders is what’s insane.

The huge influx of immigrants has had a big financial impact on American citizens and the population of immigrants have to be reduced. Stop the cap

5:56 self-deportation for legal NON-immigrants because it applies to individuals who entered the U.S. on NON-immigrant visas meaning their stay was TEMPORARY fundamentally and they knew that then they applied and that is what they told the consulate officer to get their NON-immigrant visa.

I've lived and worked abroad in three EU countries. In all of them I had to get my paperwork in order before entering the country. There was no 'adjustment if status'. Trump's policy is standard. Using it in the US will cut down drastically on fraud and will save huge amounts of money and effort, as well as allowing us further to control our border and our sovereignty.

@mitchyoung93

I'm always shocked at how clueless people are about immigration laws in other countries... They act like America is the big bad country and it's easy to get into other countries and start working there. It is not. And just like trying to get into America you have to do it from your home country! And other countries don't have birthright citizenship either.

Whoever goes back home and expect to get a green card must be delusional.
This administration thinks people are stupid…they aren’t.
They would rather stay and become illegal.

This man is a Liberal Democrat and is Not totally Honest !! It may not seem correct but it us our Law !! This Law was passed by Cobgress in 1952 !! It is Not a New Law !!

@ronmcginnis5273

That Law was passed in 1952 which states , people have to apply in their own country at an American Consulate !!! It is a way to slow down immigrants coming into America !! It is our Law , apply in your own Country at an American Consulate !!

Birth right citizenship is abused by our adversaries, alot of chinese wives of CCP are coming to the US and giving birth while we pay for it, they will be then raised in china and be indoctrinated with CCP agenda and come here to the US and have voting rights, well i guess you democrats want that.. but i dont and i am a legal immigrant i worked in the UAE for many years and waited for my greencard lawfully and patiently

@ladyofwinterfel8143
@

Also there is a way the people on an H1b should file their application for green card while their H1b is still active and while they are still here on a job.. thats it.. they go back home to where the US embassy is and show up for interveiw

@ladyofwinterfel8143
@

Well i agree if you are a spouse then yes! I think you can file in the US

back and forth 25 years and never overstayed. worried that my mother is going to get older and cant see her often and may get there when she is very old. sad for ppl doing things the right way. getting visa denied to visit when you been visiting 25 years now. its better they say listen we will grant the visiting visa with a gps tracker installled so you can visit and come back in 6 months or less , if you overstay we will take it away and deny you etc. The govt does not feed the visitors when they come they stay with family and they are responsible case close - why deny ppl and seek no way to allow them. if its even to have them pay for producing the gps visa. smh. Honest ppl are an open book they dont care if they read your comments as they just want to be able to see their family and accepted in IF they are going to do it. It would be ok if the system cap out at 3 children and ask for proof to support above that thats should be ok. If they even say no more sibling filing for sibling fine but parents and children should be ok.

Student visa is a visa for an education. It is a guarantee pass toward a work visa.

Looks like she couldn’t find a more participan biased hack to interview. It’s obvious. The reality is he was a big part of the system that created this come one come all in order to dilute the American voter by creating ones from areas that traditionally will vote democrat for the policies of welfare and open doors to their relatives.
Sorry. This is a fact. Definitely ruins the credibility of your podcast.

@sgib46060

It’s almost as if the Regime wants undocumented folks to stay here, get exploited by employers who don’t check their documents upon hiring. Then those workers use fake SSNs to shield the employer if the worker ever gets busted using that fake SSN. The employer may have even set up the worker with the fake SSN!

Then that worker PAYS TAXES into a system they’ll never access (unemployment benefits; social security). It’s diabolical.

Snatching people off the streets and throwing them into cages. “As soon as the dumb talking points come out I just laugh”. This liar just said it. We found laws we can follow. We dusted off the laws! Wrong clown, immigration enforcement always knew about the laws no one would follow.

@johnsmith-zp9zs
@

These shiesters are complaining that the law is being followed now. Nothing here is new, it’s just prior administrations didn’t follow the rules. There are no new laws. I used to take green cards away for breaking the law, judges would always give them back. I guess that’s no longer happening and they are mad.

@johnsmith-zp9zs

If people like your guest cared as much about existing American citizens trying to make it in America as they do about people trying to become citizens, this country would literally become heaven on earth. Why so worried???

For someone with a professional job in US, the only way to go and apply for green card from home country is to take months long vacation aka quit the job.
