Trump Unveils 'merit-based' Immigration Policy Plan by Nobody: 12:58pm On May 17, 2019 |
US President Donald Trump has outlined plans for a new US immigration system designed to favour younger, better educated, English-speaking workers. In an address at the White House, he proposed moving away from the current system that favours applicants with family ties to the US. He said border security would be beefed up and a tougher line taken on asylum seekers. Senior Democrats dismissed his ideas as "dead-on-arrival". They say the proposed new system fails to offer a route to citizenship for so-called "Dreamers" - hundreds of thousands of people brought to the US as children but who still have no legal right to remain. In the White House Rose Garden, President Trump said his plans would make US immigration "the envy of the modern world". "We cherish the open door that we want to create for our country. But a big proportion of those immigrants must come in through merit and skill," he said. "The biggest change we make is to increase the proportion of highly skilled immigration from 12% to 57% and we would like to even see if we can go higher." He said immigrants would be "required to learn English and to pass a civics exam prior to admission". Criticising the current asylum process, he said: "Our nation has a proud history of affording protection to those fleeing government persecutions. "Unfortunately, legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48304975 |

Now that trump is trying to be sensible with this immigration policy, democrats called it ''dead on arrival'' because of the lack of synergy between him and the law makers... and someone is here saying that the presidency should not try to influence the emergence of leaders in the NASS

The African Union should do more than that. Visa only to millionaires and billionaires , highly qualified engineers and medical doctors, Nobel prizes in biology, physics, economics, highly qualified university professors and school teachers, successful entrepreneurs . Plus passing a test that addresses racism and prejudice ( minimum score : 90%). They should also sign a agreement stating they will not engage in a LGBT activity and they will not own any piece of land. 1 Like |
