[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was an Indian-American woman (physician) I saw on a debate panel (never Trump Republicans vs MAGA) who was one of the most vociferous supporters of Trump immigration policies. There was also an Iranian-American woman (based on utter lack of accent she must have grown up in the US, but she came by way of illegal immigration to Pakistan first) who was also super MAGA. Is this the pull up the ladder phenomenon? [/quote]

Yes and no.
Immigrants have a exposure to their own immigrant communities that non-immigrants could never have access to.
As an Asian person, I get some interesting confessions from other Asians.
A Tibetan nanny told me she went to Nepal to shop for her passport.
An extended family member's entire nuclear family came here on a family reunification visa. That family member lived nowhere near the sponsoring family member and is actually estranged.
In China, I was flat out told that "it's easier to emigrate to the US than any European country". It was spoken as if it was optional, easy peasy. Which kind of supported Trump's statement during his first administration that other countries think the US immigration system is a joke.
My father's friend's sister married an old guy from the state of GA. He promised her he would sponsor her family but he never did and she keeps waiting. It's a straight up transactional deal.
I met a 21 year old who was enrolled in high school in Flushing, Queens. She was frustrated that they were teaching her in Chinese (because, you know, woke sensitivity) when her goal was to learn English so she could work.

When you hear enough such stories you have to wonder about the US immigration system. The above wasn't spoken of as a secretive confession but something that only an Asian would matter of a fact tell another Asian like it's no big deal. But it's actually kind of gross abuses of the system.[/quote]
