US President Donald Trump wants to control immigration in the United States more than in the past according to performance criteria. Trump, presented on Thursday his Reform for the immigration policy of the country. The Reform provides for, among other things, a significant increase in the immigration quota for skilled workers. Foreigners should also learn in the future English and take a citizenship test before you can immigrate. The Opposition gave to the plans equal to a rejection.

His Plan will ensure that the world will envy the US for its immigration model, Trump said in the rose garden of the White house in Washington. The Reform provides for, among other things, a significant increase in the immigration quota for skilled workers.

“The biggest change” is the increase in the share of high-skilled immigrants from twelve to 57 percent, said the U.S. President. Perhaps this share will rise even further. A large part of the immigrants had to come by “performance,” into the country.

Currently, approximately 66 percent of the immigrants coming legally into the country would, on the basis of a random selection, Trump said. He wants a points system for applicants, so that the USA can get for your business is the “Top talent”.

The opposition Democrats rejected the proposals immediately: “This is a stillbirth of the Plan isn’t remotely serious,” said house boss Nancy Pelosi. Trump has made the fight against illegal immigration one of his main concerns, and speaks of a “national emergency”. His tough stance on the migration policy meets with the opposition Democrats and human rights groups to sharp criticism. It creates a new immigration plan by the U.S. Congress, is considered to be unlikely. (sep/AFP)
