I was honored to be back at the White House yesterday for the unveiling of President Trump’s immigration reform plan. As part of the president’s unofficial faith advisory group, I have had some input into the broad outlines of this proposal. I am pleased to say that it is an America First immigration reform package. As the president said, “It’s just common sense.” It focuses on six broad goals:
- Securing the border
- Protecting American wages
- Attracting highly skilled immigrants
- Allowing legal migration for immediate family members
- Addressing labor shortages in critical industries, and
- Preserving humanitarian values.
The president stressed that his plan was developed with input from law enforcement and that it puts border security first. It largely ends chain migration and establishes a merit-based immigration system.
