Wants to cut the legal immigration down from 1M to 500k and make it merit based.




1M legals come in a year.

1 in 15 bring skilled jobs to the economy.
1 in 5 come in and get on welfare immediately.
75% dont speak english or even try to after arriving.

These aren't right vs left facts, these are America first facts.
Why continue to bring in people who do nothing but leech off taxpayers and further bloat the already broken welfare state?

This will be signature legislation in the end.

So now he is against "legal" immigration? We really need more legal immigration, not less.

I'm sorry but if you have the advantages of being born, raised, and educated in America and can't find a job then that is your problem. Want to help the American worker, cut welfare and make them get off their asses and get a job. As long as welfare is so prevalent, all this will do is cut down on the workforce and cause job shortages, or cause people to hire more illegal immigrants.

Causing wages to go up on jobs that are low-pay, causes prices to go up on those goods and services and hurts everyone else.

This is great. Trump is setting up the Canadian cucks to take more immigrants AND weaken their merit based system just because of their need to virtue signal.

It's brilliant.

Why doesn't Mexico take in a bunch of Muslim immigrants BTW?

Should bring it down to 0. Also, if this backfires and we get immigrants who commit crime, I blame Marco Rubio.

You libs love Canada. Australia isn't some conservative stronghold either. These are their immigration standards.

Moron, did you even listen?

1 in 15 bring skilled jobs to the economy.

75% dont speak english or even try to after arriving.

I've got no problem with this. The people who are going to have a problem with it are the businesses who claim they can't make a profit unless they have migrant workers.

I know you're just a contrarian to everything Trump does, but Jesus man have some self respect.

We don't need more immigration by any stretch of the word. We can't afford to support them anymore.

Well everyone should love it then, since Canada is the gold standard at being better than the US at everything.

The best way to combat illegal immigration is with legal immigration that is skilled and speaks English.

If he could just stick to topics like this and keep his big mouth off of twitter - and pump out a series of "this is what America is all about" pronouncements like this regularly, he could become a GREAT president.

THIS is what I am hoping for
