 Ted Kennedy can watch from Hell. Trump's new bill brings back the proper legal immigration for people who are self sufficient with a skill or job in place or sponsor, speak English, desire to assimilate and will not get any welfare. m/r

Trump endorses new immigration bill to cut green-card limits, favor English speakers

By Dave Boyer and Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, August 2, 2017 

President Trump threw his support Wednesday behind a Senate bill that would cut legal immigration in half and implement a new merit-based system that emphasis English-speaking immigrants who can demonstrate job skills.
Meeting at the White House with GOP Sens. David Perdue of Georgia and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the bill’s sponsors, the president said the revised legislation “would represent the most significant reform to our immigration system in half a century.”
The measure, known as the RAISE Act, “will reduce poverty, increase wages and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars,” Mr. Trump said.
The legislation would slash legal immigration in half, to 500,000 per year, over the next decade. The senators said it would replace the current permanent employment-visa framework with a skills-based system that rewards applicants based on their individual merits.

Mr. Cotton said the current immigration system is “an obsolete disaster” in which only 1 immigrant in 15 comes to the U.S. because of their job skills.
