Americans generally favor a more selective legal immigration system that
would reward those who speak English and those who bring desired skills to
the U.S., according to a new poll released Wednesday that could boost the
new immigration bill President Trump is backing.
The Morning Consult/Politico poll found 62 percent support for giving would-
be immigrants who can speak English a leg up, and found 61 percent support
for creating a point-based system to select new employer-based immigrants.
Some 54 percent also said they want the government to weigh an immigrant’s
need for taxpayer assistance in deciding whether to admit someone.
Cutting the actual total number of legal immigrants from 1.1 million a year
to about 500,000 a year is more controversial, with a plurality of 48
percent supporting it and 39 percent opposing it.
Those are all parts of a new bill introduced by GOP Sens. Tom Cotton of
Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia, known as the RAISE Act. Mr. Trump
embraced the bill at a White House ceremony last week.
Democrats and immigrant-rights groups have blasted the new bill, saying it
betrays American values on immigration by tightening the screens. Voters,
though, seem to generally side with the bill’s authors. | T*********I
