President Trump Strengthens his team, so it will compete better:
U.S. President Donald Trump and two Republican senators on Wednesday unveiled a plan at the White House to half the number of legal immigrants to the United States eventually and favor newcomers who speak English.
Trump threw his support behind a bill developed by senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia that they say would cut legal immigration by 50 percent over 10 years by reducing the kinds of relatives immigrants can bring into the country. The legislation faces an uphill climb to get through Congress.
“This competitive application process will favor applicants who can speak English, financially support themselves and their families and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy,” Trump said.
Trump and the Republican lawmakers blasted the current immigration system as out of date and argued that it hurts American workers by driving down wages.
“The reforms … will help ensure that newcomers to our wonderful country will be assimilated, will succeed and will achieve the American dream,” Trump said.
Under the new bill, the United States would prioritize high-skilled immigrants by setting up a merits-based system similar to those used by Canada and Australia.
And the people who count like it:
According to polling conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, and sponsored by NumbersUSA, the majority of voters in swing states support the RAISE Act, which would cut legal immigration into America by up to 50%.
They also support stopping the process of chain-migration, and scrapping the visa lottery in favor of a points-based admissions system…
Interestingly, the polls failed to reveal significant divisions among ideological or religious divides. It appears that reducing immigration levels is a relatively non-partisan issue when it comes to political affiliation. However, the polls are silent when it comes to ethnicity and immigration status—which would be more interesting. Either way, it appears that cutting immigration is a winning issue for Republicans.
Things are turning K.
The problem the migrants who want to come here have is that if things get bad enough, the migrants already here will turn on each other much faster than K-strategists would. Then, keeping other migrants out would become a priority to them, and they would actually vote to close the doors to their countrymen as fast as a liberal would screw fellow Americans over for a foreigner.
So ironically, many immigrants here now may offer more support to the US’s interest than the Cucks. The betrayer of our enemy is our friend?
The hardcore leftist ideologue will be a thing of the past as the economic chickens come home to roost. The irony is, it is we who only have to sit back and wait for a free victory to be handed to us.
[…] How A K-strategist Handles Immigration […]
Listening to the White House Press secretary he said 50% of immigrants are on welfare. I believe that if you followed the letter of the law they could all be deported. Also you could deport all that don’t speak English. THAT”S exactly needs to be done.
The ethnicity of the survey results would be interesting. Whites make up about 61% of the US pop. so using the 80/20 rule probably 80% oppose any additional immigration. The non-whites would probably be around 30% tops opposed to more immigration. This number has probably shifted more than the white number because of the change in the social mood. The white number likely shifted from about 60% opposed to 80% opposed, in the last 10 years or so, and the non-white number from near zero to about 25-30% opposed- which is a bigger shift. Regardless, it seems that Trumps plan opens the door to further immigration reductions as resistance to all immigration increases. That’s the brilliance of Trump, he knows Rome wasn’t built in a day and he is subtly moving the Overton window on the debate towards the right.
