Thursday that would alter the way legal immigrants are allowed into the U.S. The plan includes a civics test, a measure that experts said was highly unusual and could exclude high-skilled applicants from entering the country.
“It’s like asking for people to apply for citizenship when they arrive,” said Theresa Brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “It’s a big thing to ask of people from other parts of the world.”Trump’s proposal would create a system that favors applicants who are highly skilled, well-educated and speak English, as well as have potential employment over family-based immigration.
The merit-based system proposal is centered around what would be called the"Build America" visa. It recognizes three categories: extraordinary talent, professional and specialized vocations, and exceptional students.
I doubt if he could pass it.
Trump needs to be the first one to take this civics test . But most of all, he needs to take a spelling test! 🎯
Good
Life
The prerequisite would be investing in Trump properties.
So does posing nude count as a high skill. Asking on behalf of future First Ladies.
really! a test is not a big deal. there has been a test for years to become a citizen
I would be willing to bet Trump couldn’t pass a 9th grade government exam.
If no educated illegals can read a lawyer prepared statement for fraudulent asylum claims these educated foreigners can handle a civic test.
The civics test is the problem. They have to memorize specific factoids. No just give them a fifth grade reading comprehension and mathematics test.
Doesn't this help give a leg up to attain American dream? Are leftist anti-education now? 'Trump’s proposal would create a system that favors applicants who are highly skilled, well-educated & speak English, as well as have potential employment over family-based immigration.'
Now watch how Democrats and Democrat media continue to fight against American sovereignty and for One World Government. 🇺🇸
Now they claim Canadian and Australian system as impossible to implement here, because they are a parliamentary system...
Huh? Isn't that the point? “It’s like asking for people to apply for citizenship when they arrive,” said Theresa Brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “It’s a big thing to ask of people from other parts of the world.”
And if you put the hate aside, it’s a good one...
.realDonaldTrump Let us see you take a Civics test! Yok absolutely would not pass one. You come up with the most ridiculous ideas! Show the U.S. you can pass a Civics test, prove me wrong.
Hopefully the real Americans in the House will stop this bigoted, unfair and horrid mess before it can get to passage. But first, how about stopping the source of the atrocities ImpeachTrump
Study, take the test. Not exactly a difficult hurdle for an intelligent skilled immigrant.
karmasenz The US is full. No need to import any new workers.
karmasenz Trump2020
C'est purement politique juste pour faire la campagne
Best President ever!
ไม่มีค่าเครื่องไปได้มั้ย
If I was planning on moving to another country to spend years, if not life there I would make a strong attempt to learn their language. This is basic respect for your host.
Billybobtn Long needed and overdue! Finally some leadership!
Who’s going to pick the lettuce? Who’s going to work on the dairy farms? Who’s going to work in the slaughter houses? All of those jobs right now are being done by undocumented workers because Americans don’t want to do them. It makes more sense to invite a wide range of skills.
Trump’s family would not have been allowed in the USA under these guidelines! Impeachment proceedings must begin immediately!
He must take it first!
Trump should also be required to pass a civics test, which I know he can’t.
It is about time. Thank You and now start helping our homeless.
Trump has not much to do with this,he has no idea .It's Stephen Miller's idea and to think that his ancestors were all immigrants!!Talk about irony!!
Does congress have a say? Impeach now!!
Weak proposal from a weak lying, grifter. Me thinks there is a money making scheme somewhere hidden away in this weak proposal! Right General Kelly?
“In fact, the current inflow of family-based and diversity lottery immigrants are better educated than the average American,” [Griswold] said. “It’s a myth that you either let in high-skilled immigrants or we get low-skilled, poorly educated family-based immigrants,” 👆
What is wrong with this? We should want the best to come. If this weeds out the rest then so be it. Merit based baby. Other countries do it.
It would also keep out the First Lady... Oh well, Tomi Lahren has said yes to the dress and planned the flowers already.
Trump’s Proposal: dead on arrival.
When will Melanie learn English and when will trump memorize our nations anthem lyrics?
Canada has had a merit immigration program for decades!
MAGA Trump2020 he just keeps getting better 🔥👍🏻😤
How skilled are they really if they aren’t able to pass the test?
Correction: It alters the way ALL immigrants (legal & illegal) are allowed in to the U.S. (without conflation & double standards, the Democrat/Establishment has nothing)
Well overdue! Vive Le Trump!
Can he pass a civics test? Have a reporter ask him any basic civics question.
