For the fourth time in about a month, Trump suggested increasing legal immigration levels. With Apple CEO Tim Cook sitting next to him at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he not only wanted more legal immigration but that companies needed an expansion of new arrivals to grow their business.

The comments are a direct rebuttal of the president’s commitments in 2015, 2016, and 2017, where he vowed to reduce overall legal immigration levels to boost the wages of U.S. workers and reduce the displacement of America’s working and middle class.

So he’s still against illegal immigration?
And with record low unemployment and continued job growth we may need more MERIT BASED legal immigrants?
LOL some people just live to whine and complain.

It’s sort of funny. You will need the people similar to those coming across the border to fill these jobs. Rhoades Scholars and rocket scientists aren’t going to come for them.

I’m still with him.
Things aren’t perfect, obviously, and along with all the winning, there’s been some losing.
Donald Trump is the only fighter we have. There is literally no one else between us and an actual horde of literal Nazis.
Don’t give up.

The Republican Party is useless and dangerous even more so it seems than the Democrats.

The President said clearly that we need immigrants based on a merit system. He said this in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
This invective is just more leftist spittle expressing hope to divide the Trump camp.
Won’t work.

Indira Ghandi once said, "The US is draining India's brain power."
Ted Kennedy might have "fixed" that. :(
