Trump has made it clear since his election run about the issue of immigration. He has recently introduced a bill that will cut the amount of people who can legally live in the US by half.
Before the green card allowed over 1 million people, but Trump’s new bill will reduce it.
Trump made the announcement at The White House with David Perdue and Senator Tom Cotton at his side. He talked about the new legislation and the impact it would have.
Intentions Of Policy
Trump said “This would be the most significant reform to the immigration system in half a century.” He told those at the meeting “it is a historic and very vital proposal.”
Many people have migrating to the US to live and work. They have through the laws of the land migrated to live with relatives. But this new reformed bill would change that.
The bill was first produced in April by the Senate. What you have before you now is a modified version of that legislation. That new version is what has been endorsed by Trump.
“This is just a fundamental restructuring of our immigration system which has huge implications for the future,” said Kevin Appleby.
He also said “This is part of a broader strategy by this administration. To rid the country of low-skilled immigrants they don’t favor in favor of immigrants in their image.”
Kevin Appleby is the senior Director of International migration policy for the Center for Migration Studies.
