As the Trump administration is set to unveil its latest iteration of immigration reform, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed the proposal for more merit-based immigration as "condescending" and signaled that Democrats would not support legislation that does not include a pathway to citizenship.
A senior administration official told CBS News that the president's proposal aims to alter the composition of incoming legal immigrants, with a focus on increasing the share of highly skilled immigrants. The plan also calls for improving physical border security.
"They say family is without merit -- are they saying most of the people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without merit, because they don't have an engineering degree," Pelosi asked rhetorically at her weekly press conference.
She scoffed at the idea of "merit" as a policy description. Rather, she said, it's "non-merit -- it means merit in the eyes of Donald Trump."

You’re EXACTLY right!
Sounds like the leftists don’t want the best or brightest.
But paying an illegal $5 an hour to be your gardener isn't, Nancy??? Taking advantage of their illegal status to low-ball their wages????
“Nancy Pelosi slammed the proposal for more merit-based immigration as “condescending”....”
“...says she’s fearful for Roe v. Wade”
All the left wants is voters who will reliably vote for the Dem. Color, IQ, etc. doesn't mean anything to them. Just the vote.
Nucking Futs!
Nancy dearie....... we have enough human detritus in America. We don’t need to import more
Merit based anything is condescending — isn’t that correct, Nancy?
She’s afraid that too many black babies will be born, but that not enough illegals will come here.
The notion that new Americans should be those who can contribute something.... how outmoded!
Nancy Pelosi should be fearful for Roe vs Wade because ultimately it is going down. The mood of the country is returning to the period before 1973 and an evil decision rendered by Harry Blackmun and six other old men. They violated the 10th & 11th Amendments in order to pass their decision. Those two Amendments will be partly responsible for returning juristinction to the States. Just read below:
10th AMENDMENT
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
11TH AMENDMENT
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
Sorry Nancy!
Yes. Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, my home(Philippines), England etc.
