in #politics7 years ago

A non bias synopsis of the 13 minute speech:

-Working on an effort to create an immigration reform that has the American works in mind and also safety. It must end chain migration and the lottery system.
-Current immigration policy fails with chain migration by threatening our economy and safety. We need to close the loopholes for expedited removal.
-We’re going to have a wall to keep out drug dealers and trafficker.
-Need to give the border patrol the resources they need to better do their jobs.
-Lottery system is where other countries select the citizens they don’t want in their countries anymore and put them to immigrate to the US.
-Senator Lindsey Graham (R), who used to severely oppose President Trump who now works well with him: “Obama couldn’t do it, Bush couldn’t do it. I think you can do it.”

  • “Hopefully democrats will sit down and work with us to pass this legislature.”
    -Tom (last name)- “you’re providing the leadership to come up with a balance to create a bipartisan solution.
    -Senator Cardin (D)- “America is the most generous country in the world when it come to illegal immigration, but that generosity has been abused by people who are exploiting the vulnerabilities we have along the border with lack of enforcement.”
    -Stock market broke 25,000 and people said that it wouldn’t happen for 8 years if Trump was President.
