Steven Miller tentatively laid out the broader goals of Trump’s new RAISE initiative. This plan is concentrating on restricting net immigration by 50%, through the reducing the number of Green Cards assigned annually. Its claiming to end excessive abuses on dafarechecks, am happy. But the thing that doesn’t seem to make any sense is the implementation of a merit “points” based system in vetting incoming legal immigrants. Ideally when the merit based system would is implemented, the USA would only be interested taking individuals who rank more proficiently in education, skills, wages, expertise, etc. So, in a decade, maybe a full generation must pass until you would begin to see the fruits of this policy come to fruition. That fruit would, in following Steven Miller’s logic, will come in the form of a higher labor demand for working class/blue collar CITIZENS. This would be in part to removing the lottery system, and keeping derp derps out. Overall it will reduce net LEGAL immigration but that doesn’t account for the beanbops coming from the 3rd world slummms through illegal means. And as reality, aka da oppressive white man knows, those people who occupy low income jobs are often illegal immigrants. In my case, the California agricultural industry would get dumpstered if they were not able to pay beans in rice.
If this were to become law, would it affect the working class/blue collar wages over time through supply and demand logic?
Would a higher concentration of highly educated immigrants and very little retards actually offset the current low skilled labor market, given illegal immigration stays the same?
And what about the fact that people will still be able to attain work through work visas?
(Is this assuming the critical emphasis on higher education grows, thus naturally leading to less volume of low skilled workers, or will the amount of low skilled workers stay steady/has it been steady of time)
