VIDEO: White House Press Conference with Stephen Miller on Immigration
The White House Press Conference featured policy advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller. He outlined the proposed immigration changes, the biggest in fifty years. Merit based, English is priority, ability to support oneself, end to chain migration, reduction in numbers.
Stephen Miller took questions and it became lively when CNN's liberal reporter, Jim Acosta, took swipes at the clarifications and changes being sought for green card immigration and the reduction in numbers. He, like so many others, falsely made a connection between the Statue of Liberty and the poem later written and attached to it. It was great to hear someone make the distinction as Stephen did today. The Statue was a gift celebrating liberty not unfettered immigration.
Stephen Miller also asked, "Do you at CNN really not know the difference between green card policy and illegal immigration?" He also cited a "cosmopolitan bias" with Jim Acosta.

President Trump carries through with America First immigration policy.

”The RAISE Act, which Cotton and Perdue introduced in February, would scrap the current lottery system to get into the U.S. and instead institute a points-based system for earning a green card. Factors that would be taken into account include English language skills, education, high-paying job offers and age.”
It is encouraging that President Trump has started the needed conversation concerning immigration reform that puts the interests of American Citizens above the interests of our Washington Swamp Creatures ___ some of whom have sold their soul to unpatriotic domestic corporations which demand cheap illegal entrant labor to increase their profits, while other Washington Swamp Creatures have a desire to increase the democrat voting block by importing the poverty stricken populations of other countries into America who will immediately be dependent upon government cheese and thus, can be expected to sell their vote to receive it.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.
Who wrote the poem on the Statue of Liberty?
.
Just for the record and in case you didn’t know it, Emma Lazarus, who wrote those words was a well-known socialist and the “poem” was suggested to be used to raise funds to build the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. Additionally, immigrants coming to America and passed the statute on their way to Elis Island were not granted entry into the United States for a number of reasons. Being an obvious public burden was one reason to be refused entry! In this respect President Trump is spot on with having a merit based immigration policy which takes into account the best interests of America's taxpaying citizens!

There was a time not too long ago in New York when the able-bodied were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now, New York City and many other major cities are infested with countless government cheese factions, many of whom are illegal entrants, who not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs, sex, and Lotto tickets.
FACT CHECK: Do You Have To Speak English To Be Naturalized?
Posted By Holmes Lybrand On 10:04 AM 08/03/2017
During a heated exchange at the Wednesday press briefing between a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta, the question of English requirements for naturalization came up.
In an attempt to ridicule a proposal on immigration, Acosta cited a poem on the Statue of Liberty, stating that the poem “doesn’t say anything about speaking English” in order to immigrate to the U.S.
Acosta continued, “Aren’t you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if you’re telling them you have to speak English? Can’t people learn how to speak English when they get here?”
Miller rebutted, “Well, first of all, right now it’s a requirement that to be naturalized you have to speak English.”
Verdict: Mostly True
Applicants for naturalization must pass an English language test unless they meet certain requirements for exemption.
Fact Check:
In order to be naturalized in the U.S. applicants must pass three English language tests, including speaking, reading and writing, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
“An officer determines an applicant’s ability to speak and understand English based on the applicant’s ability to respond to questions normally asked in the course of the naturalization examination,” the USCIS website reads.
The applicant can fail this test if “he or she does not understand sufficient English to be placed under oath or to answer the eligibility questions on his or her naturalization application,” it continues.
According to the USCIS, applicants must “sufficiently demonstrate the ability to read in English, applicants must read one sentence out of three sentences.”

Applicants fail this test if they omit or substitute a “content word,” pause for long amounts of time while reading, or make “pronunciation or intonation errors to the extent that the applicant is not able to convey the meaning of the sentence and the officer is not able to understand the sentence.”
Similarly to the reading portion, the writing test requires applicants to write one of three sentences. The test is failed if different words or sentences are used, if only one or two words are used, if abbreviations are used for “a dictated word,” or if the sentence is “completely illegible.”
Certain individuals can request an exemption if they are “50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (green card holder) in the United States for 20 years.” The same exemption can apply for individuals who are “55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years.”
If an applicant doesn’t pass the test, they are given two chances to re-take the test.
