The visa lottery program and chain migration isn't what our country needs.

You defend the indefensible. Shame on you.

Honestly he's right though. If you import the third world here the US is going to become more like the third world.

We imported the third world before. It worked out great for us.

At the next press conference, we should get a list of which countries he considers to be shitholes.

mm Behold, the reason that the White House did not deny the statement.

Family immigration is what built this country. The visa lottery is a miniscule part of US immigration. Get real, dude.

Hello,

Previous poster here.

Family immigration did indeed build this country. Back when our country was founded all the way up to the Immigration Act of 1924, we had millions of people come to the United States to build better lives. Back in those days, poorly educated and skilled individuals would be qualified to work in a wide variety of jobs that would cement the foundation for their families future. Think of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle."

The issue I see today is the economic landscape of the United States has changed. Manufacturing is gone and many jobs that were performed using manual labor have disappeared. By allowing low-skilled and poorly educated people in the United States we are setting them up for failure. Sure, there'll be exceptions. But as a large group, I am concerned about the outcome of this population group.

We can still have immigration to the United States, and in fact increase our numbers if desired, but by transitioning to a merit-based scheme I believe both the United States and the immigrant will achieve a better outcome.

Well ... Opa Drumpf did get himself kicked out of the Fatherland.

Orrin HATCH: “I look forward to getting a more detailed explanation regarding the President’s comments. Part of what makes America so special is that we welcome the best and brightest in the world, regardless of their country of origin.” #utpol

Except these guys want a literal ban of people based on their country of origin so what BS.

About 40 percent of LPRs admitted through the visa lottery are students and about 40 percent have management experience. Nepalese had the highest number of visa in 2015.

We're zooming towards Brazil. Meanwhile Israel boots out the illiterate undesirables so they can become a white Jewish state. Why can't we do the same?

Because we are America, not Israel.

Oh, so by rejecting them, we really are doing them a favor.
