"Nothing changes."
This legislation is badly needed (and has almost no chance of passing a Democrat-RINO Senate).
For the first time in 52 years we take on the outrageous 1965 immigration act that has almost destroyed our nation!!
TRUMP is the hero of the century for doing this!!
Thank you Mr. President and Senators Cotton and Perdue.
Brilliant plan. Shame it has zero chance of passing in the our uniparty open-borders, globalist Congress....
Senator David Perdue, doing a great job for Georgia.
Is there a finite supply of Schadenfreude in the universe...?
Most of our “representatives” have been carrying out a bipartisan plan to flood the country with foreigners to dilute the sovereignty of the citizens to steal our country from us.
We MUST remove the traitors from Congress.
We MUST remove the illegal aliens and reduce legal immigration.
Will never pass senate - RINOs, DemonRats, and even the so called “conservatives” of the Midwest agriculture states will block its passage ... They ALL want the ignorant, non-English-speaking slave labor to “do the work Americans won’t do.” Why have to pay real wages, or provide benefits to Americans and assimilated, intelligent English-speaking legal immigrants, when you can import expendable idiots whom you can abuse an extort at a whim?

Hope this begins to get some play in both the media and other places.
Legal immigration is becoming a larger source of illegals than those
crossing the southern border illegally.
They come in on a legal VISA but don't leave when the VISA has expired.
A lot of these are coming from the Far East, Asia, etc.
VISA Over Stays are becoming larger than illegals crossing the southern border.
getting back to some original basics...
I was under the impression that some visa holders, if they wish to prolong their stay, had to show special talents or special contribution to be allowed to stay. Am I wrong? If not, why is this a radical change?
> favor English speakers
That won’t go over well with republicans. They want more voters who don’t understand sentences like “I promise to repeal Obamacare”. Life would be so much easier right now if they could claim this “misunderstanding” is because most voters don’t know English.
I’ll believe it after I read the fine print in the legislation.
The fine print doesn’t really matter, anyway, since the federal agencies that “enforce” the new legislation will be able to write their own regulations, and they will interpret the new legislation any way they please.
And, future presidents, or even Trump for that matter, have the executive power to “defer” enforcement of most immigration statutes, for various completely legal reasons.
Finally, it’s almost comical to believe that the federal government can accurately evaluate the job skills of 500,000 to 1 million foreigners each year who have zero work records in the USA.
Oh, did I forget to mention that 80% of these folks will vote for the Democrat Party after they become citizens?
We are SO screwed!
This will turn out to be a backdoor way of increasing the hl-b visa quotas. You watch.
But will it pass the Flake/Ryno/Linda/McQueeg/Collins test?
YES!
Yep, I can see why liberal elites are angry - no more new democrat or members of a future ‘servant class’ for them to exploit.
Rather than bringing in new ‘victims’ to be converted to Democrats (on our dime), Trump wants to bring in immigrants who will ADD to our country...
Back door to increase Indian and Filipino H1B’s as most of them speak english.
Winning for you Americans for sure. Love the idea about English speaking, but wonder if he should be targeting the refugee system first, as that appears to be where the real trouble comes from.
So much winning, but a loss for me, if I ever need to flee Canada, cutting the Green cards in half. :)
