Trump proposes immigration overhaul to favor skilled, English-speakers

President Donald Trump called Thursday for radical immigration reform to favor skilled, English-speaking workers over the poorly educated and shut the door on "frivolous" asylum claimants. "Currently 66 percent of legal immigrants come here based on random chance," Trump said. There is little chance that the business-minded Republican president's ideas will get anywhere in Congress, where immigration is seen as a politically toxic subject, particularly ahead of 2020 legislative and presidential elections.
