Pres. Trump announces a new immigration plan, the latest attempt by the administration to follow through on a campaign promise to overhaul America's immigration system.
President Donald Trump announced a new immigration plan in a speech Thursday afternoon, the latest attempt by the administration to follow through on a campaign promise to overhaul America's immigration system.
In his calls for merit-based immigration reform, the president said"Random selection is contrary to American values and blocks out many qualified potential immigrants from around the world... we discriminate against brilliance. We won't anymore once we get this passed." A senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday that the proposal, which is being pitched to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, is aimed at allowing more high-skilled workers entry into the United States and modernizing ports of entry. But while the plan does try to curb illegal immigration by building more wall and modernizing ports of entry, it does not tackle the issue of undocumented immigrants already in the United States.
The"Trump Immigration Plan," as described by officials, would prioritize visas for applicants with extraordinary talent, professional and specialized vocations, and exceptional students. It does not discuss what to do with temporary workers and it does not handle finding a pathway to citizenship for the so-called"DREAMers" or those temporarily covered by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA, an ongoing priority for Democrats and swing-state Republicans.
