> Why the US cannot figure out how to streamline legal immigration has been a failure of the US government for many years I hate Trump's immigration policies but he repeatedly promised to streamline the immigration process on the campaign trail (and he used that very word, "streamline", every time, as if to drill it in people's heads). When he first brought up "extreme vetting", he also said he wants to make the process much quicker, and doesn't want people waiting years to get a visa. This fits the "make a bold first offer, then tone it down before the execution" interpretation of Trump that some people find convincing. I guess his plan is to be harsher in his vetting in some areas (so, turn away a whole population if even 3% of them could be bad apples) to allow him to be much more lenient in other areas.
