President Trump has announced a sweeping immigration proposal that would alter the way legal immigrants are allowed into the U.S.
Thursday that would alter the way legal immigrants are allowed into the U.S. The plan includes a civics test, a measure that experts said was highly unusual and could exclude high-skilled applicants from entering the country.
“It’s like asking for people to apply for citizenship when they arrive,” said Theresa Brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “It’s a big thing to ask of people from other parts of the world.”Trump’s proposal would create a system that favors applicants who are highly skilled, well-educated and speak English, as well as have potential employment over family-based immigration.
The merit-based system proposal is centered around what would be called the"Build America" visa. It recognizes three categories: extraordinary talent, professional and specialized vocations, and exceptional students.
