President Donald Trump is making changes to immigration — fulfilling his campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration and immigration abuse.
The most prominent aspect of his plan was the wall he intends to build along the U.S.-Mexico border. While funding for the wall has stalled in Congress, Trump has proven himself to be a “human wall “of sorts. His harsh rhetoric and promise to crack down on illegal immigrants have caused illegal border crossings to plummet. The Border Control Council President recently called the drop “miraculous.”
Still, since talk will only get Trump so far, there is policy work to be done. Earlier this week, Trump announced plans to limit legal immigration and enact a merit-based selection process. Now, he’s announcing how those individuals will be limited once they’ve made it into the United States.
See the plan — which is sure to delight conservatives — on the next page:
My forebearers came here without gov’t handouts…went right to work at whatever jobs they could find…coal mines , farming and logging to make a life for themselves and their families…Why should we expect any less of those who now want to come here?
Benefits should be for taxpayers only. Scroungers and parasites get nothing, they must find work.
Every non native American should really think about their hate talk for immigrants.
Long over due.
Trump’s a genius!
Obama would do it for votes!
I agree, they take away from people
Which is why they shouldn’t be allowed to vote, voter ID….oh wait, the dead still can
