John Oliver on Legal Immigration and the GOP

As discussed on AV CLUB, John Oliver on Last Week Tonight explains how our legal immigration system works, and how it often doesn’t. Oliver discusses in a light but accurate manner on “waiting in line” when no line exists for many would-be immigrants, the per country ceilings, family immigration and “chain migration,” employment visas, diversity visa lottery, and much more.

For Oliver, immigration is a personal issue, “having spent years going through the arduous, labyrinthine, and, under Trump, arbitrarily changing immigration system himself.” Oliver came to the United States on a O1 visa “persons with extraordinary ability.”
