Your president has laid out his "merit based immigration plan", and yes, it's as bad as it sounds.
"Under the new plan, 57% of green cards would be awarded on merit as opposed to the current 12%. Immigrants would be expected to be financially self-sufficient, learn English and pass a civics exam. The diversity visa lottery, which offers green cards to citizens of countries with historically low rates of immigration to the US, would be terminated.
“If adopted, our plan will transform America’s immigration system into the pride of our nation and the envy of the modern world,”
This is rich coming from a man who hires undocumented workers, and who could not meet the standard he set for others himself.
Let's see now, he can't speak English, we know that he would flunk the civics exam, and he damn sure isn't "financially self-sufficient". --How could he be when he lost over a billion dollars?-- And he was still trying to borrow millions of dollars since being elected president. Heck two of his three wives couldn't meet the standard he set for other immigrants who want to come to this country. I am quite sure that Mr. trump's current in- laws would not have been granted green card status under this plan. I guess they got in just in time.
On its face this doesn't even look like a serious proposal around policy. Sadly, it looks just like another one of his cheap political stunts to fire up his base.
Thoughts?
