Thank You very Much it's great to be here Today to unveil Legislation
That Would represent the most significant Reform to our Immigration system in a half a century I?
Want to Thank Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue?
For Their Tremendous Work in Putting Together This Historic and very
Vital Proposal as A candidate I Campaigned on Creating a merit-Based
Immigration System That Protects us Workers and Taxpayers and that is why, We are here Today merit-Based?
The Raise Act are a I se
The Raise Act will Reduce Poverty Increase wages and Save Taxpayers Billions and Billions of Dollars it
Will do this by changing the way the united States
Issues Green Cards to nationals From other Countries
Green Cards Provide Permanent Residency Work Authorization and
Fast-Track To Citizenship for
Decades The united States was Operated and has Operated A very low skilled Immigration system
Issuing Record Numbers of Green Cards to low, wage Immigrants
This Policy Has Placed Substantial Pressure on American Workers
Taxpayers and Community Resources Among Those hit the Hardest in Recent Years Have, Been Immigrants and
very importantly Minority Workers Competing for Jobs Against Brand-New Arrivals and
It has not Been Fair to our People to our citizens to our Workers the
Raise Act Ends Chain Migration and
Replaces our Low-Skilled System With A new
Points-Based System
For Receiving A green Card This competitive Application Process will Favor applicants who Can Speak English
Financially Support Themselves and Their Families and
Demonstrate Skills That will Contribute to our
Economy
The Raise Act Prevents New Migrants and New Immigrants From Collecting Welfare
and
Protects us Workers from Being Displaced
And that's A very Big Thing they're not Going to come in and Just Immediately go and collect welfare that doesn't Happen
Under the Raise Act They can't do that
Crucially the Green Card Reforms then the raise Act will Give American Workers a Pay Raise by reducing
Unskilled Immigration This Legislation will not Only Restore A competitive Edge in The 21st Century
But it will Restore the Sacred Bonds of trust between
America and its Citizens
This Legislation
Demonstrates our Compassion for Struggling American Families who Deserve an Immigration System that puts
Their Needs First and That Puts America First
Finally The Reforms in The Raise Act will Help ensure That Newcomers to our Wonderful Country will be Assimilated
will Succeed and will achieve the american dream
I'd like Now to Invite Senator Cotton and Senator perdue to say A few Words Thank you thank you very much
Thank You mr. President
Very Excited to be Here With Senator Perdue and President Trump to be introducing the new Version of the Raise act
Our legal Immigration system Should
Accomplish Two Main Goals one it Should Help American Workers Get A, decent Pay Raise and Have a higher Standard of Living and Two
We should Help Promote Economic Growth Make America more Competitive in The World our Current System Simply doesn't do that?
It's over a, Half-Century Old it IS an Obsolete
Disaster and it's Time for it to change so first, We bring over a million Immigrants Into This Country A year?
That's Like Adding the Population of Montana Every Single Year Adding the Population of Arkansas Every Three Years
The vast Majority of Those Workers Are Those Immigrants Come Here not Because of Their English Language
Abilities Or Their Job Skills Or Their Job Offer or their educational Attainment in
Fact only One in 15 only One in 15 out of a million new Immigrants come here
Because of Their Job Skills and Their Ability to Succeed in This Economy that means it puts Great downward
On People who Work with Their Hands and Work on Their feet?
Now for some People They
May Think that that's the Symbol of America's Virtue and Generosity I think it's a symbol that, we're not Committed to working Class americans
and we need to change that
Second We also lose out on the very Best?
Talent Coming To our Country the most Ultra High skilled immigrants who Can Come Here and bring Their entrepreneurial Spirit and Their Innovative
Capabilities and
Make a higher wage create new Jobs for other Americans and New Immigrants Speak english and
Contribute To our Economy and Stand on Their Own Two feet and Pay Taxes and not receive Welfare and not drive Down Wages
For Working Class Americans
The Raised Act will Change all of that by Reorienting our Green Card System
Towards People who Can Speak english who have High degrees of Educational Attainment
Who have a Job offer that Pays more than a typical Job and Their local Economy who are going to create a new Business
Or our Outstanding in Their Field Around the World and
I'm excited and i look Forward to working With Senator perdue and President Trump to Pass This Legislation Through the Congress and
Make This Kind of
very
Fundamental Sweeping Change for The first Time in Over 50 Years to our Immigration system thank you
Thank you tom Thank you Mr. President good Afternoon Everyone first of All mr.. President
I want to thank you for your leadership on this Immigration
Topic I think This is extremely critical for our Country you talked about it often on the Campaign Trail
You Said Job One is Growing the Economy as part of why I believe you're Standing here While I'm Standing Here
You've
Also Said That it's a Fortune 500 Ceo
I'm the Only Fortune 500 Ceo in Congress and I've lived Around the World much of my Career and I Can tell you nothing that
We're Going to do right now Is more Important than This in Terms of Growing our Economy
The Reason We need to do this is very Simple our Current System Does not Work
It Keeps, America from being Competitive and it does not meet the Needs of our Economy today
Today as John as Tom Said We bring in 1.1 Million legal Immigrants A year?
Over 50% of our Households of legal immigrants Today
Participate in Our social Welfare System Right now Only one out of fifteen
Immigrants That Come in Our Country Come in With Skills that are employable we've got to change that this Business Guys Mr.
President you and I Understand
We need a, new Approach
We need to Fix this Immigration system so we took a look at best Practices We looked at Countries like Canada Australia and Others?
What we're Introducing Today Is modeled on the Current Canadian and Australian Systems it's Pro-Worker it's Pro-Growth and it's Been Proven to Work
Both Have Been Extremely Successful in Attracting, Highly Skilled Workers to Those Countries
We can all agree the Goals of our Nation's Immigration system Should be to Protect Interest of working Americans?
Including Immigrants and To Welcome Counted Individuals who Come here Legally and want to Work and Make a better life in Themselves
Our current System Makes it Virtually Impossible for them to do that
If We're Going to Continue as the Innovator in the World and the leader Economically it comparative that our Immigration system Focus on Highly-Skilled
Permanent Workers who Can, Add Value to our Economy and Ultimately achieve Their Own Version of the American dream what
We're Talking about Today is very Simple its Measured it's a rational Approach to
Immigration That will Allow us to Finally Fix Once and for all this broken System in A strategic Way
That will Reposition America as A global leader Economically Mr.
President I'm Proud to stand here With you and tom Cotton i look Forward to Passing this the us Congress and Making This a law
of the Land and Letting it be a sweeping Change for America Thank you I
Just want to state that as you Probably Have Noticed
The Stock Market hit an All-Time Record High Today over 22,000 we've Picked up?
Substantially Now More Than Four Trillion Dollars in Net Worth in Terms of our Country our Stocks our Companies
We have a growth Rate A Gdp which has Been Much higher Than as you know
Anybody Anticipated Except Maybe Us
But it's going to go it's going to go higher too
We're doing a job and you're going to see Jobs are Pouring Back Into the Country
Factories and Plants Are Coming Back Into the Country, We're Going to Store Making Product in America again and that's Happening all
over as I mentioned Yesterday Foxconn is going to Spend ten Billion Dollars in Wisconsin and other Places and
I think the ten Billion Dollars Is going to end up being 30 Billion Dollars
They Make the iphones for Apple and Others and it Is a truly incredible
Company so We have A lot of things happening that are Really great but again Today the stock Market hit the highest level that
It has ever Been and our Country Is
Doing very
Well I just want to thank you all tom and David are Going to be Outside They're going to speak to you at length
About what, we're Going to do with Respect to this Aspect of Immigration I think it's going to be very very Important
The biggest and 50 Is biggest Change in 50 Years Thank you all very much
you
