Trump Demands Congress End 'Chain Migration', Visa Lottery to Protect Americans
The following is the official transcript of President Donald Trump's weekly address
from The White House.
The address was delivered Saturday.
My Fellow Americans,
This week I signed the National Defense Authorization Act — a historic step forward to rebuild
our military.
Now, it is critical for Congress to pass the Clean Government Appropriations Bill that
fully funds our Military Needs.
We must not play politics with our troops — we should pass a clean funding bill and
leave the politics aside.
We must protect our nation.
I'd also like to take a moment today to discuss our immigration system, and how we
can reform it to make it work for everyday Americans.
Our current immigration system helps special interests, but hurts American workers, taxpayers
and national security.
For decades now, U.S. immigration rules have been based on an outdated system known as
Chain Migration.
Under chain migration, foreign nationals can come to the United States and bring in unlimited
numbers of foreign relatives.
A single immigrant can begin a chain that could ultimately bring in dozens of increasingly
distant relations.
Because these individuals are admitted solely on the basis of family ties — not skill
or not merit — most of this immigration is lower-skilled, putting great strain on
federal welfare.
And because there is no real selection criteria, the current system is totally incompatible
with national security.
This week, a terrorist exploded a pipe bomb on a busy subway passage during rush hour
in New York City, injuring innocent Americans.
This individual arrived through chain migration.
In October, another terrorist drove a truck into pedestrians and cyclists in New York
City, killing 8 people and wounding many others.
That individual came through a visa lottery.
It is time to create a merit-based immigration system that makes sense for a modern economy
— selecting new arrivals based on their ability to support themselves financially
and to make positive contributions to U.S society.
Base it on love of our country.
We want people that come in, that can love our country.
This process begins with Congress passing a bill to end chain migration and also end
the visa lottery.
I have called on Congress to do exactly that.
Ending chain migration and also ending the visa lottery will allow us to have commonsense
immigration rules that promote assimilation and wage growth.
It also promotes, most importantly, safety.
It'll help Americans both old and new to thrive, flourish and prosper.
Thank you, and God Bless America.
Thank you for watching this video.
