Points-based system for Green Card seekers |
The Donald Trump administration is set to introduce a new points-based system for those seeking Green Card. The system will favour English-speaking skilled workers and “discourage” others will low skills, the White House said.This comes as day after Trump declared his support for a legislation that proposes to cut down on the number of legal immigrants allowed to enter the US. The Trump administration has also proposed to limit family-based migration to spouses and minor children. This system will be a lot similar to the one in place in Canada and Australia. The points-based system will look at whether the applicant speaks English besides some other factors. Can they support themselves and their families financially? Do they have a skill that will add to the US economy? Are they being paid a high wage? The proposed system will help prevent displacement of US workers. The bill needs to be signed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, before it can be sent to the White House for Trump to sign it into law.
