Immigration Reform: The RAISE Act
President Trump introducing legislation today along with Senator Cotton and Purdue to curb legal immigration to a similar policy of Canadian and Australia's immigration policy with a point based/ merit based system to receive a green card under the new reforms.
It favors applicants that can do the following:
Speak English
Prove they have the job skills required to maintain basic standards of living without welfare.
Prove they can sustain themselves

People on twitter are already calling this racist, sexist, xenophobic, you know same old stuff.Funny thing is, they love the Canadians and their leader, who does the exact same thing.
Yep, they are whining over Trump and Sessions looking to end discriminatory practices in colleges as well. Yep, ending racist programs is now racism lol.
But yeah, this isn't racist either. Race is not a factor, but competency is. Xenophobic people wouldn't want to let anyone in regardless of skill level. As for sexist, was there a "no girls allowed" clause included? Otherwise isn't it sexist to assume that only accepting skilled people will be harmful to women? Lol, there isn't even a method to the madness anymore.
Sessions doing something I approve of, credit where credit's due. I still want him out of any position of executive power for his opposition to not only recreational but medical marijuana, and due to his support of civil asset forfeiture which is a concept that is rotten to the core and even more rotten in practice.
For those that don't know, civil asset forfeiture is when law enforcement can take your property if it suspects its involvement in criminal activity without even charging you with a crime, and because your property has less rights than you do it is considered guilty until proven innocent rather than innocent until proven guilty, so if you don't pay for legal representation that can prove your property's innocence you lose it. What's worse is that law enforcement agencies get to keep all of the money from civil asset forfeiture and essentially spend it with no restrictions, which certainly motivates more abuse of this power.

Immigration policy will always be dictated by economic necessity than political pandering. Nobody cares about highly skilled, English speaking fruit pickers. If businesses want cheap labour they'll get cheap labour. Up until the day Americans stop allowing businesses to control politicians.
Please somebody invent robots that can pick fruit.
ICE makes a decent start, but a long way still to go.

Everyone has been talking about immigration reform for 30 years, now we have a chance, and the stupid democrats don't want it?
You have to keep in mind that usually when a leftist talks about reforming immigration what they really mean is they want to find a way of legally letting even more people in than we already do.

You could stop committing unemployment fraud and get a job picking fruit, that would be one less immigrant which you can't stand doing it
Lol so robots trigger you now? Damn. Short Circuit is a great movie.
But why would they hire me when they can pay an illegal under the table?

If we require them to have robot ID's in order to vote it is obviously an act of bigotry that would leave us one step away from a Matrix-esque situation.
