Trump to release plan to move U.S. immigration toward 'merit-based system' prioritizing high-skilled workers
By David Nakamura and David Nakamura Reporter covering the White House Email Bio Follow Ashley Parker Ashley Parker White House reporter Email Bio Follow May 15 at 5:10 PM President Trump on Wednesday warned again about the dangers of undocumented immigrants, signaling no plans to temper his rhetoric even as he prepares to unveil a broad proposal aimed at balancing public perception of his administration’s hard line agenda.
“This is his proposal,” said a senior administration official. “He’s been intimately involved in crafting it. We’ve shown him kind of where some of the criticism might come from on the right, and his response is, ‘I’m happy to talk to them and I’ll convince them of why this is the right thing.’” Trump called the perpetrator a “vicious killer” who could have been kept out of the country by a border wall or “whatever the hell it takes.”
Though Trump has voiced support for a pathway to citizenship for many of the nation’s estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, he has sought to pair legalization efforts with hard line enforcement provisions, including a border wall, more Border Patrol officers and change to U.S. laws aimed at speeding up deportations.
