What are the chances that Trump (and the GOP Congress if needed) will greatly open up immigration specifically from Europe?

Similar to the refugee program now exclusively catering to white South Africans, one could potentially see Trump finding an excuse to accelerate immigration from Europe even as he continues to limit it from other parts of the world, under whatever pretext is needed not to explicitly state that it's because Europeans are — traditionally speaking —white (possible pretexts: "rebalancing" the system, retuning it to its pre-1965 intentions, etc.)

What chance would you give of this happening, considering he's already basically done something similar with the refugee program and Afrikaners?

Should someone on an ESTA openly admit on social media that they want an O-1 visa and solicit funds for it?

I truly don't know, so I'm curious for knowledgeable takes. One of the World Cup "America is amazing" influencers is actively looking for an O-1 but is still on an ESTA; does that public declaration of O-1 desire have any negative repercussions for his ability to keep traveling on an ESTA, or is it just not relevant? He has a GoFundMe, hoping to raise 10K for lawyer fees to help get an O-1.
