Trump favours people coming to US ? |
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wants foreign workers to come in the US through a merit-based immigration system so as to meet the demands of companies that are moving into America in greater numbers. Indian-Americans, most of whom are highly skilled and came to the US mainly on H-1B work visas, are the worst sufferers of the current immigration system which imposes a seven per cent per country quota on allotment of green cards or permanent legal residency. The US needs workers. but wants people to come in through the merit system though. Trump said responding to a question on immigration after the US Supreme Court upheld his travel ban against people coming from eight Muslim-majority countries. The US president said he is not against people coming into the country but made it clear he wants them to come legally through a merit-based system, a move which experts believe would help qualified people from countries like India. In Wisconsin, he said Foxconn, one of the great companies of the world, is setting up a manufacturing base.They make the laptop for Apple, and iPhones, a lot of it. And they`re building a tremendous plant right now in Wisconsin. It is a hodgepodge of laws that have been put together over years and this needs to be changed, he asserted.
