Trump Stands By His SOTU Demand For 'Largest Numbers Ever' Of Legal Immigration: 'We Need People'
Information Liberation ^

(NOTE- Make sure to read the bolded and underlined portion)

President Trump is reversing his campaign commitment to reduce overall legal immigration levels to the United States in order to raise the wages of America’s working and middle class, as he is now demanding more immigration.

During his State of the Union (SOTU) address this week, Trump went off-script while discussing national immigration policy, saying he wanted to admit “the largest numbers ever” of legal immigrants to the country.

----

The U.S. is on track to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters in the next two decades should current legal immigration levels continue. Those 15 million new foreign-born voters include about eight million who will arrive in the country through chain migration. This booming legal immigrant population has not only rapidly shifted the demographics of the nation, but research indicates it will hand over all electoral dominance to Democrats in a matter of decades.

Hmm, well when one population that reproduces very slowly is mixed with another population that reproduces rapidly, guess what happens to the slow one.

He is wrong.
We need less immigration and we need really strong enforcement.

I hope a number of immigrates form Europe are included

As do I, but won't be holding my breath in expectation of same.
Only way it happens is if enough of them get thoroughly sick to death of the raghead barbarians invading their countries and they decide to bail.

Immigration is needed. If you bring in WORKERS it’s fine. If they fit a need of the country that’s exactly what should happen

Why? To suppress wages of Americans? because that is what this is all bout.

A nation of 330M does not *need* more people. I’d rather see more per capita economic growth than aggregate national economic growth.

Sadly, most dumba$$es won't even understand what you mean.

This is probably a set up for a merit based immigration system which the Democrats will reject. Then POTUS can easily rebut the “nativist” smear with statements like this. I will be very unhappy if this rhetoric is a precursor to more job stealing low skill H-1Bs.

That is a relatively easy fix...no welfare for non-citizens, citizenship limited to the assimilated (meaning working, behaving and prospering) after a set number of years, maybe 15 or 20. IOW, the kind of folks who would not normally vote RAT.


Dems will never agree to major changes in citizenship rules. Neither will the Chamber of Commerce owned GOPe.

We have plenty of people. Stop paying out welfare money and watch the pool of available labor skyrocket.

With our demographic trends you won't see much of either without immigration.

I pulled this post from Breitbart:

WALL STREET PLUNDERS FOR WIDER OPEN BORDERS FOR CHEAPER LABOR… Both parties are complicit partners in this crime that has destroyed the American middle-class. The establishment’s economic policy of using legal and illegal migration to boost economic growth shifts enormous wealth from young employees towards older investors by flooding the market with cheap white collar and blue collar foreign labor.

That annual flood of roughly one million legal immigrants — as well as visa workers and illegal immigrants — spikes profits and Wall Street values by shrinking salaries for 150 million blue-collar and white-collar employees and especially wages for the four million young Americans who join the labor force each year.

The cheap labor policy widens wealth gaps, reduces high tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high tech careers, and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions.
