I can't imagine what the progressive liberal democrats have in mind to counter President Trumps plan to allow 1.8 million illegals a pathway to citizenship and ending 'chain' migration, the Visa program, and of course the most hated proposal of all, a boarder wall.
It stands to reason why Senator Schumer decided to turn his back on the plan saying everything that Trump wants is off the table. Chuck Schumer is about getting the 'Dreamers' into a legal status and open boarders that will allow millions of more immigrates to enter the country and provide a voter base to bring progressive democrats to power for generations.
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi believe they will be long gone before the total disintegration of the country when conflict and chaos ensues as immigrants would be the dominate factor in all election, local, sate and federal. And believe, they will vote immediately after entering the country.
No? Can't happen here? Today it is proposed that all that is needed is drives license in California to vote, and the law already state immigrants are eligible to have one. How far do you think New York or New Jersey is from doing the same thing?
Once this gets rolling, any state that is controlled by progressives socialist liberal democrats, it's game on! Yahoo! Let the good times roll howl the democrats from behind their walled communities!
These 3 Changes Would Drastically Improve Our Immigration System

During his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump brought attention to his forthcoming immigration plan by offering a potential pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients. While conservatives have been rightfully angered by the president’s plan for amnesty, the door for other real reforms to our legal immigration system is now open.
If conservatives truly want to bring the U.S. immigration system into the 21st century, the legal immigration system will have change in three main ways.
1. Chain migration must end.
While reunifying immediate family members (spouses and children) should remain a priority of the immigration system, our current system allows single immigrant to secure green cards for his or her parents and siblings, making it possible for an extensive web of external family members to relocate to the U.S.
Family-based immigration is not concerned with what an immigrant can contribute to the U.S. economy, nor with the fiscal costs of bringing in less-educated immigrants.
Moreover, the status quo ignores potential immigrants who have skills, education, and capital to invest in the U.S. In fact, the U.S. is largely alone in its prioritization of family reunification. In 2016, 68 percent of American green cards were issued to immigrant family members. In Canada and Australia, these percentages were only 26 and 32.5 percent, respectively.
2. Adopt an employment-based immigration system.
Step number one would result in fewer green cards for family-based immigrants. This number should then be added to employment-based green cards. By using the market to determine those who will provide the most benefits to the American economy, an employment-based system is clearly in the best interest of the U.S.
The employment-based category should also make use of a limited points system if the demand for employment-based green cards is higher than the supply.
Points would be awarded for economically beneficial traits, by first prioritizing the compensation being offered by a U.S. company and then providing some points for factors like current income, wealth, age, and education level.
In order to ensure that green card recipients are employed and significantly contributing to the economy, their legal permanent residence statuses would be conditional for their first several years. Only those who fulfill their employment obligations would be allowed to remain in the U.S. during this time.
3. Get rid of the diversity visa program and the 7 percent per-country cap.
The diversity visa program prioritizes an applicant’s national origin over his or her merit or potential contribution to the U.S. economy. The per-country cap- which limits how many immigrants can come from a given country every year- also ranks nationality over economic value or individual merit, discriminating against applicants from high immigrant-sending countries like China, Mexico, and India.
Both of these practices are discriminatory and should be ended.
The current legal immigration system is decades old, and its age is showing. Making the above reforms would bring the U.S. system up to date. It would strengthen the U.S. economy and improve U.S. public finances by allowing more high-achieving individuals from around the world greater opportunities to migrate to the U.S.
Rather than focus on amnesty, Congress should focus on these immigration reforms that would benefit all Americans.
