The White House is dropping a longtime initiative of President Trump’s that reduces overall legal immigration levels to increase U.S. wages, a senior administration official tells the media.
Throughout 2015, 2016, and 2017, Trump routinely touted his plans to reduce the number of legal immigrants who arrive in the U.S. on a myriad of visas. Since the 1990s, when it was expanded by President George H.W. Bush, legal annual immigration levels have remained at historic highs with about 1.2 million nationals legally admitted every year.
For example, since 1980, the number of legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. every year has not dipped below 525,000 admissions. Since 1999, annual legal immigration levels have not dropped below 645,000 admissions and since 2004, the average number of legal immigrants admitted every year has not dipped below a million admissions.

Evidently Australia has these same issues with refugee immigrants. I saw this over at Irish's Site today:

It's worth the read, I promise. Cheers.
when trump made his promises, unemployment was 5+%....the economy was stagnent, and wages were barely holding their own, if not shrinking.
ReplyDeletenow, wages across the board, are growing, the economy is booming, posting 3% growth regularly, and there are around 1 million MORE job openings listed than there are people signed up looking for work.
no, we are not out of the woods yet, but if you read trumps promises, they have been met.
i have no problem with LEGAL immigration, as long as they get a job, contribute to "the public good" and, if not a preminent visa holder, go home when they are suppose to.
oh, and if you think theyn are taking american jobs....why have YOU not taken that job????
