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.

I wouldn't get hung up on this. Right now we have millions of illegals coming over. If we can stop that then any number of vetted legal immigrants would b a HUGE improvement. Let's say it is ONE more LEGAL than the year before and 5 million less ILLEGALS than now - that's a victory.
Globalists need to go away. Go back under your anti American rock.
It isn't me wanting to cower behind barriers.
I want to sally forth, compete, and win!
I actually believe in America.
Terminate the illegal/unconstitutional welfare state (in EVERY shape/matter/form+), ENFORCE every *EXISTING* law (esp. vs. govt employees/entities) and THEN you can have open, legal, immigration to those that wish to come....as we did @ the turn of the century.
Mine did that (have ALL the paperwork [as GOVT required/demanded]). Worked out for them and everyone already/born here
That's not going to happen when birth control and abortion allow people to have only as many children as they want. But your flip comment is noted. maybe when the dems have a lock on federal power you will realize how bad the situation was when you mocked it.
Agreed there are a lot of suckers, some on the right. who buy into this "we have to grow population to grow the economy" lie. If immigration allows the dems to get a monopoly on power they will destroy the economy anyway, it won't matter how many people are here.
Much of the time that is true, but not this time.
That’s quite possible, at which point the S is quite likely to begin HingTF in earnest.
Then we have an existential problem, don’t we, and my “flip comment” is true as f***, ain’t it?
Maybe you’ll realize that I already knew how bad the situation is when I commented on it, which is why my comment said what it said.
You don’t understand. The issue is real income has been stagnant since the 70’s. By far the biggest cause has been the huge ramping up of immigration both legal and illegal.
The number one way you restore real income per citizen is to let the labor supply settle at a somewhat higher real income over many industries and professions.
Just like some on the Left want price controls to artificially lower prices, those on the wealthy Right want to artificially flood the country to drive down real income per citizen to give them huge profits.
High immigration keeps real incomes down, hurts middle-class families due to very real financial pressures, loads the Dems with cheap labor and voters using the education system and media.
Without proper assimilation, high immigration is the number one way empires break up and turmoil ensues.
By advocating higher immigration than we have now, Trump is not only going back on a crucial campaign promise, he is adding to the forces that will continue to rip the country apart.
At 330 million people, the USA, as a civilization/empire etc., is probably due for a split, and it will accelerate that process by increasing immigration even more than the already high rates of immigration.
It all comes down to the math, human nature, and our political system. It just does.
Expect the tension between the two sides to continue, and if Trump pushes for even more immigration, expect grumbling on the Right and the possibility that Trump loses enough voters where it could cost him enough votes in PA, WI, and MI to let the Dem get the White House in 2020.
Tough times are a comin.
Unless I see a tweet of his, or video, this is fake news to me.
They been trying to pass a law taking English the official language for most of my life and Congress can't even agree on that.
The President did say he wanted more people from Norway. He does not seem to know that they have a better “safety net” than we do and will most likely prefer to stay home.
good
hope everyone does
“Real solution” gives out visas/work permits at the start and hopes that we live happily ever after.
“We have killed over 60 million babies, many of whom would have grown up by now and had more of their own babies and grandbabies, and wonder why we are short on people...”
Bumped to the top. It’s amazing that This Has to even be said. Every other mammal species in a discovery channel or National Geographic Channel show gets it.
The president has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth when he veers off script. Then instead of trying to correct the remark he buckles down and tries to justify it. We absolutely don’t need anymore poor Hispanics who have no trade and will automatically vote for democrats for 20 years or more because of all the free handouts the Dems give them.
