Trump, Senate GOP discuss effort to overhaul legal immigration

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump is reviving efforts to overhaul the legal immigration system after previous attempts by the White House were derailed on Capitol Hill.

Trump, White House staff and roughly a dozen Senate Republicans met on Tuesday to discuss a path forward for legislation transitioning to a so-called "merit-based" immigration system, according to lawmakers and the White House.

Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), a close ally of Trump's on immigration, referred to the effort as "RAISE 2.0," a reference to legislation he previously offered with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). But unlike the previous bill, Perdue said the White House has dropped proposed cuts to legal immigration.

The GOP senator said lawmakers had "a briefing on some preliminary thoughts at a very high level about how to change … the mix of the 1.1 million legal immigrants."

Trump's merit system, if you're brown you start with negative merits. If you're an eastern European sex worker you go to the front of the line. Right Trumpy?

1. Trumpy must be dreaming of copying New Zealand

immigration system. NZ will allow you to immigrate only if your skills are in demand in NZ and have a job offer. Lacking that, you must bring $1.5 million US with you to invest in NZ. And all immigrants must pass English proficiency test administered by NZ gov't.
