Trump: A Big Proportion of Immigrants Must Come in Through Merit and Skill

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Our proposal fulfills our sacred duty to those living here today, while ensuring America remains a welcoming country to immigrants joining us tomorrow. And we want immigrants coming in, we cherish the open door that we want to create for our country, but a big proportion of those immigrants must come in through merit and skill.
(Applause)
The White House plan makes no change to the number of green cards allocated each year. But instead of admitting people through random chance, we will establish simple, universal criteria for admission to the United States. No matter where in the world you’re born, no matter who your relatives are, if you want to become an American citizen, it will be clear exactly what standard we ask you to achieve. It will be made crystal clear.”
