    President Donald J. Trump’s Weekly Address Immigration

    President Donald J. Trump’s Weekly Address

    Immigration

    Issued on: December 16, 2017

    The President’s weekly address is now available to watch on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

    Transcript:

    My Fellow Americans,

    This week I signed the National Defense Authorization Act – a historic step forward to rebuild our military. Now, it is critical for Congress to pass the Clean Government Appropriations Bill that fully funds our Military Needs. We must not play politics with our troops – we should pass a clean funding bill and leave the politics aside. We must protect our nation.

    I’d also like to take a moment today to discuss our immigration system, and how we can reform it to make it work for everyday Americans.

    Our current immigration system helps special interests, but hurts American workers, taxpayers and national security.

    For decades now, U.S. immigration rules have been based on an outdated system known as Chain Migration. Under chain migration, foreign nationals can come to the United States and bring in unlimited numbers of foreign relatives. A single immigrant can begin a chain that could ultimately bring in dozens of increasingly distant relations.

    Because these individuals are admitted solely on the basis of family ties – not skill or not merit – most of this immigration is lower-skilled, putting great strain on federal welfare.

    And because there is no real selection criteria, the current system is totally incompatible with national security.

    This week, a terrorist exploded a pipe bomb on a busy subway passage during rush hour in New York City, injuring innocent Americans. This individual arrived through chain migration.

    In October, another terrorist drove a truck into pedestrians and cyclists in New York City, killing 8 people and wounding many others. That individual came through a visa lottery.

    It is time to create a merit-based immigration system that makes sense for a modern economy – selecting new arrivals based on their ability to support themselves financially and to make positive contributions to U.S society. Base it on love of our country. We want people that come in, that can love our country.

    This process begins with Congress passing a bill to end chain migration and also end the visa lottery.

    I have called on Congress to do exactly that. Ending chain migration and also ending the visa lottery will allow us to have commonsense immigration rules that promote assimilation and wage growth. It also promotes, most importantly, safety. It’ll help Americans both old and new to thrive, flourish and prosper.

    Thank you, and God Bless America.

    You know, Trump can end all TPS with an Executive Order. Does he know that? He can, it's all discretionary, he can order DHS to terminate all TPS already issued and instruct DHS, no more TPS.

    As he continues to take in and bus central americans in the thousands all @ our country at our expense for the ride, for the schooling, ESL teachers, healthcare, then on to having anchor babies - the $$$$ list is endless.

    Just enforce our immigration laws as promised and remove all illegals and stop the central american "make Americans pay for their overpopulation" - it is too dangerous to have continued killing, rapes, child abuse by them - GET THEM OUT, DO NOT BRING MORE IN AS YOU ARE DOING NOW TRUMP!

    He obviously has chosen not to do so. Furthermore, he has also decided not to interject himself into the TPS discussion and continues to allow the Secretary of DHS complete control over the decision process regarding the program. Furthermore, as we've seen first hand, DHS doesn't seem to have a serious interest in ending TPS for many that are reaping the benefits of the program.

    Nor does he have an interest to stop the central americans coming in by the thousands on our monies, free,schooling with ESL teachers, free healthcare, money to live etc, getting jobs. If only Americans were treated so well! They are homeless, out on the street.

    Is trump running USA or is kelly and his coharts? Is trump just an out and out jackass LIAR? This is totally disgusting!

    We currently have 21,000 Border Patrol Agents with budget approval for another 5,000, and BP is saying they'll need years to hire them. Also, over 45% of BP Agents are Latino Americans. I think that's out of balance with population demographics. They probably hired based on language or that's the local population along the border areas. I don't think you need to hire based on language if that's what they're doing.

    Granted, not all of these are on the Southern Border, they're at all the perimeters but I'm sure most of them are on the Southern Border, at least I would hope so. Still with 21,000 agents, we shouldn't still have the size of the problem we still seem to have with border crossers. They've cost more than twice the manpower since 1992 plus over 600 miles of fencing. We shouldn't have this problem, to any great degree with that much personnel and other resources. Someone needs to get on the stick and investigate why we still have such a big problem. They have their orders, they even have Executive Orders, they have fencing, a wall is coming, they have all types of equipment and vehicles ... come on. It's show time BP. Time to get it done.

    Set a quota to start deporting 1,000 TPS a week!

    Temporary Status is OVER!

    We want them all deported and NOT one more should be able to come here EVER!

    They never want to leave.
