Merit-Based Immigration Trump Proposal Would Not Fit Drumpf Family

Trump Gets His Wall in NYC Harbor: To Greet New Immigrants

Merit Immigration Policy Via Twitter & Approved by Fox

Merit-based immigration policy that Trump is pushing and some background of that here from the Wash Post:

Merit-based immigration would reward points based on high-paying job offers, past achievements, English-language ability, and education. All that would be taken into account when green card applications are considered.

It gives points for different characteristics, which are age, the salary you able to command, and how much money you are going to invest in the U.S. economy.  The higher the score, the more likely an immigrant would be admitted to the United States. For example, if you get a Nobel Prize, you automatically get 25 points, and you need 30 points to be eligible to apply.

Some say the current system lowers wages and discourages assimilation.

A merit-based system would help lower immigration rates and ensure that the immigrants who do come are highly skilled and less likely to need public assistance.

For decades, the United States was operated and has operated a very low-skill immigration system, issuing record numbers of green cards to low-wage immigrants. 

The new bill (sponsored by GOP Sens. David Perdue and Tom Cotton) would cut legal immigration from 1 million to 500,000 each year, in part, by moving to a merit-based system.

Trump says: “The current family-based policy has placed substantial pressure on American workers, taxpayers, and community resources.”

(I note: Except for his ancestors the Drumpf family from Germany who spoke no English and few job skills, or the nitwit Stephen Miller’s grandparents who only spoke Yiddish, or other Trump cabinet officials all from immigrants – in short they are biased, narrow-minded, racist in some aspect, and totally wrong).

Critics say the American economy also needs low-skilled workers, and a merit-based system would hurt industries that rely on them, and they see the merit-based system as un-American and goes against the basic fundamental respect for family, our religious faiths, and of who we are as Americans.

Plus, a merit-based system would also cost the government more because the government would have to review the applications and pay resettlement costs that are currently covered by sponsoring families.

My notes: Whatever it’s worth the Trump proposal stinks on so many levels it’s hard to list them all.

But, as outlined above Trump ancestors (the original Drumpf family before they changed their name) would only speak German and had no skills. That also applies to some high-level Trump personnel.

Same for most other immigrants probably well over 90 percent I suspect – since unless you are a Native American, your ancestors just like mine were immigrants and further I suspect most of them had few if any of skills that Trump now demands new immigrants must possess in order to come here.

Hopefully sound minds will not approve this insane idea into any policy. That is not the American way.

Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by.
