Business advocates who want to import more foreign consumers and more foreign workers are developing plans to counter President Donald Trump’s popular call for a merit-based immigration reform.
The emerging strategy is to pair offers of minor concessions to Americans and Trump with demands for giveaways to business, including a bigger supply of low-wage workers and welfare-funded consumers. The immigration “pairing” strategy is being pushed by the industry-backed Business Policy Council, in cooperation with GOP Sen. Thom Tillis.
The strategy collides with Trump’s emphasis on raising Americans’ wages via “merit-based immigration,” which is also backed by a new productivity-boosting immigration drafted by two GOP Senators, David Perdue and Tom Cotton. “Real and positive immigration reform is possible, as long as we focus on the following goals: to improve jobs and wages for Americans, to strengthen our nation’s security, and to restore respect for our laws,” Trump told Congress February 28.
The business push for “pairing” creates a risk for the many Americans worried about cheap-labor migration, said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. President Trump “has the potential to be taken to the cleaners by [Sen.] Chuck Schumer because [immigraton] is something he doesn’t know anything about… hopefully [Steve] Bannon and [Stephen] Miller will prevent this from happening.”

NO AMNESTY!! Cantorize the GOPe traitors!!
.... These Idiots are like roaches .... Just when you think you got rid of them .... They're back.
There is no fricken way without RIOTS!! Get these illegal OUT OF HERE!!
When did we rid ourselves of progressives? They take over every one we send there in months, Trump is becoming no exception.
Praying otherwise!!!!!!!
It’s no longer a sneak now that it’s out in the open.
The most conservative president since Jackson is now a progressive to you?
Because the media told you so?
They take it away from me and my family and give it to a bunch of bottom-feeding, America-hating foreigners to spend to help the economy. You know what? That really sucks.
As a resident of NC, I am embarrassed.
Tillis is as bad Graham.
Tillis is as bad Graham.
Thank you, I wondered what state Sen. Tillis was from. Now that I know, I will pray that the state of my birth, NC, corrects its error.
I am proud of David Perdue - a huge step up from the milquetoast Saxby Chambliss. Georgia has a big agriculture economy, and Senator Perdue is still on the right side of the immigration issue. We can issue temporary work permits for seasonal workers without opening the floodgates to permanent resident aliens.
The vilest of traitors are in the GOP.
And I don’t mean traitors to other Republicans or to conservatives or anything. These lowlife SOBs are traitors to this very country itself.
Actions speak louder than words!
What media would you like to discuss??? They all have his actions recorded. Prefer Breitbart as the ny time’s has gone to complete lying.
“Cantorize the GOPe traitors!!”
Or just strangle the scum with their own entrails.
The Free Traitors™ are at it again.
At some point, the Swamp is going to have to go.
We cannot coexist.
“GOP Sen. Thom Tillis”
This guy is lower than gum on the bottom of your shoe.
