That's my guess.

will be exempt, since tRump is likely looking for a replacement for Maleria. What was HER employment qualification, by the way? Were we short of escorts, or nude lesbian soft porn "models"?? Her parents live at tRump Tower, members of the Communist party. How did THEY get visas?

Then he'll say the entrance (extortion) fee paid for the wall.

And you know Trump's "merit based" system will include points for hotness.

But I agree - she's probably more like a 9

Overweight, grumpy, no CLASS.

We might have been better off.

hot daughters, if they are white and willing to learn English, just so they are hot.

Fun Fact:
During John F. Kennedy's election, the national topic was "Is the US ready for a catholic President?"

The tRump sons, Beavis and Buthead, are requesting special visas for workers for their winery. They want 11 immigrants, to work for $11 an hour, who are capable of bending over picking grapes for at least 12 hours a day. This is TRUE.

and kick out immigrants that take low paying jobs, to preserve all those tomato picking jobs for the locals?

Nice going, Republicans!

That keeps American exploitation capitalists boot on the throats of the poor country resource managers.

only, but now we know they want to curb legal immigrants, too.

It is all about paying the lowest wages possible, screw American citizens, let them eat cake (or pick the grapes more like it)

the Emergency Quota Act or the Immigration Act of 1924. Those laws made sure that severe quotas were enacted against people based on race and country of origin. Their aim was to keep a distinct American character or profile. Of course, that was predominantly white and Christian. That did not change until 1965, with the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Unfortunately, with the climate we have now, a lot of people would be glad to restrict immigration of people who are not white and Christian. They forget about who is doing the backbreaking work.

was to auction off H1-B visas. Right now they are a lottery, and Indian companies enter umpteen times. Auctioning off the visas would make them expensive enough that companies wouldn't buy one to replace an existing worker.

There would be some exception for graduate students, medical residencies, etc.

I could actually get behind this if it looks anything like it sounded (doubtful with Trump).

have a "merit-based" system is because of the very generous social service programs that the governments provide to their citizens especially, and most importantly, healthcare. Immigrants entering those countries generally need to show that they will be active participants in the workforce/economy and be not a financial burden to the healthcare system.

To bring in resort and hotel help at his places. Saying he can't find people here. Even during the elections he had requests for waivers for his Washington hotel.

Cher: "So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much."

May I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty!

Outdated but still applies, just to different people.

And welcome to DU! It's great to have you with us!
