WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump will outline on Thursday a plan to harden border security and overhaul the legal immigration system to favor applicants who speak English, are well-educated and have job offers, senior administration officials said.
For decades, U.S. immigration laws have given priority to family-based immigration, and about two-thirds of all people granted green cards each year have family ties to people in the United States. "Our goal in the short term is to make sure that we are laying out what the president's policy is in terms of what he's looking for from immigration reform, and we would like to see if we could get the Republican Party to come together on these two pillars, which we think is a very, very logical, very mainstream point of view," said one official.
Instead, Kushner and others looked at the legal migration systems of Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand for clues on how to shift U.S. policy more toward attracting skilled workers and less on uniting extended families.
It's a great plan. How could anyone justify chain migration or a random lottery in opposition to this? The media loves to portray Trump and his supporters as anti-immigration, when in reality, they just want to make sure good people are coming into the country.

Biden: Republicans will want to work with Dems after Trump leaves officeFormer Vice President Joe Biden said he expects Republicans to embrace working with Democratic colleagues again after Trump leaves office ..and as we know...Joe knows a lot about embracing.
