The only immigration plan the Dems would approve of is open borders and giving amnesty to anyone that enters the US..that way they will have 30+ million new Dem voters

I am SO impressed how well he speaks and is so Presidential he is now. He has really matured into the POTUS role. He’s a measured, temperate, very clear speaker with a crisp message. What a contrast to the strident, perpetually angry, Halfrican who hates America.

“66% of immigrants are admitted purely on chance”

“Another 21% of immigrants admitted via random lottery”

“Random selection is contrary to American values”

“Countries like Canada create a clear path for talent; America does not”

“If somebody graduates from the top of their class, sorry, you have to go home”

“We discriminate against genius; against brilliance. We won’t any more as soon as we get this passed.”

“We want the exceptional students and workers to stay, flourish and thrive in America”

“The annual Green Card flow is mostly low wage, low skill”

“Only 12% of legal immigrants are based on skill and merit. In Canada and other countries the number is closer to 60% to 75%”

“Our goal is to get from 12% to 57% or higher. This will put us in line with other countries.”

“The skilled immigrants will go to the head of the line”

“The last update of immigration policy was 54 years ago”

“Adopt a Green Card system that promotes the a rising standard of living for all of our citizens”

It’s all nice, but the RATS will vote against him 100%. I know it - you know it - he knows it.

Trump has been using the phrase “it’s time” quite a bit. Wouldn’t that be a nice campaign slogan for 2020? Or another one I hear is “Trump: 2020 vision!” ?

Sadly, you are right. The last thing the rats need is educated and thinking immigrants who would benefit from Republican policies. They need to reshape the citizenry to be dumb, ignorant, and wholly dependent on government hand-outs.

Such a system must slash immigration to a trickle - only the truly exceptional need apply. Hire American!

How does this help college grads by flooding the USA with more legal immigrants? I hope this doesn't mean more H-1B visas. Please don't do this to us.

We need to stop ALL immigration for 20 + years!!!!

Kinda shocked to see Pres. Trump refuse to call for anything to actually lower legal immigration.

A 30 year hiatus is sorely needed as was implemented in the late 20s. Then we can re-evaluate.

The Rats will never go along with that. They need the ignorant unwashed on the dole to perpetuate their power. Rising economic conditions threaten them.

More immigrants = lower wages. It want the elite globalist pigs want. The GOP is the party of lower wages. Hell, even the UK has higher wage growth that the US.

Thanks for nothing....

Immigration and off shoring has stagnated wages for 30 years.
