A skills-based immigration system@USA

Trump backs plan that would curb legal immigration

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump threw his support Wednesday behind legislation that looks to curb the level of legal immigration into the United States by proposing a skills-based immigration system.
Trump backed the effort from Republican Sens. David Perdue and Tom Cotton in a speech at the White House. But the plan faces long odds in Congress.
Top White House aides have been working with Perdue and Cotton on the bill that -- if passed -- would dramatically remake the current immigration system, which allows a number of ways to bring family members to the US along with job-based visas.
Trump cast the proposal as a way to protect American workers by reducing unskilled immigration and creating a merit-based system that grades possible immigrants based on their ability to work in the United States.
"It has not been fair to our people, to our citizens, to our workers," Trump said of the current immigration system, specifically citing low-income and minority workers.
The bill, Trump said, "would represent the most significant reform to our immigration system in half a century."
Long odds in Congress
The effort is expected to be met with skepticism from both Democrats and Republicans. But Trump's support could help the measure gain traction.
Cotton, of Arkansas, and Perdue, of Georgia, initially unveiled the "Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act" in February, arguing that the bill will "help raise American workers' wages by restoring legal immigration levels to their historical norms and rebalancing the system toward employment-based visas and immediate-family household members."
"We are taking action to fix some of the shortcomings in our legal immigration system," Perdue said at the time. "Returning to our historically normal levels of legal immigration will help improve the quality of American jobs and wages."
Cotton's office told CNN in July that the bill will be reintroduced with slight changes, but that the goal remains reducing legal immigration to the United States by 50%.
The original version of the bill cut back on what's referred to as "chain migration," ways of immigrating to the United States that are based on family or not based on skills. The bill would limit the types of family members of immigrants that can also be brought to the US to primarily spouses and minor children, would eliminate the international diversity visa lottery and limit the number of annual refugee admissions.
White House aides involved in the current effort include Stephen Miller, a senior adviser for policy and a Trump speechwriter; Julia Hahn, a special assistant to the President; and Andrew Bremberg, a policy aide.
Trump has long said he wants to reform the nation's immigration system, but any plan to do that seems like less of a priority for an administration that is now focused on health care, tax reform and a host of international issues.
"What I'd like to do is a comprehensive immigration plan," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One in July. "But our country and political forces are not ready yet."

これの導入を各国が進めつつあり、
そうなると非スキルベース国には弾かれた人間しか来なくなり
導入国と非導入国で国力の差がますますついて
更に導入国の中でも好待遇の国に集中して導入国間でも差がますます(r

そして英米大勝利へ

How to earn 'points' under Trump's immigration plan
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/02/politics/cotton-perdue-trump-bill-point-system-merit-based/

President Donald Trump on Wednesday got behind a bill to drastically cut legal immigration and replace current employment based visas with a point system.
The plan mimics systems used by Australia and Canada, which Trump has often praised, in awarding points to potential immigrants based on broad categories. The 140,000 visas available annually under this system would be distributed to the highest point-getters first.
Under the plan -- if approved by Congress, which will be a heavy lift -- the highest point-getting candidate, for example, not including special circumstances, would be a 26- to 31-year-old with a US-based doctorate or professional degree, who speaks nearly perfect English and who has a salary offer that's three times as high as the median income where they are.
Have an Olympic medal or Nobel Prize? That will help too.
A candidate must have at least 30 points to apply.
Here's how the points would be doled out:

Age
Priority is given to prime working ages. Someone aged 18 through 21 gets six points, ages 22 through 25 gets eight points and ages 26 through 30 get 10 points.
The points then decrease, with someone aged 31 through 35 getting eight points, 36 through 40 getting six points, ages 41 through 45 getting four points and ages 46 through 50 getting two points.
Minors under the age of 18 and those over the age of 50 receive no points, though people over 50 years old are still allowed to apply.

Education
Points are distributed based on the highest degree a person has achieved. One point is given for an applicant with a US high school diploma or the foreign equivalent. A foreign bachelor's degree earns five points, while a US bachelor's degree earns six points.
A foreign master's degree in STEM fields earns seven points while a US master's earns eight points. A foreign professional degree or doctorate earns 10 points and a US equivalent earns 13.

English ability
Points are also given out for English ability, as determined by standardized English test.
Anyone with less than a 60th percentile proficiency gets no points. Between 60th and 80th percentile is worth six points, someone in the 80th to 90th percentile range earns 10 points, someone with a 90th percentile proficiency or above earns 11 points, and someone in the 100th percentile range earns 12 points.

Job offer?
The only point scale that factors in whether an individual actually has a job offer in the US comes in the form of salary in an effort to boost wages.
Five points are awarded if an applicant has a job offer that will pay at least 150% of median household income in the state where he or she will be employed. That goes up to eight points if the income is 200% the median income, and 13 points if it's 300% the median.

Nobel Prize
There are bonus points available for "extraordinary achievement," mainly reserved for major international awards. The system grants 25 points to someone who has won a Nobel prize or something "comparable."

Olympics
Fifteen points would be given to someone earning an individual Olympic medal or relatively competitive international sporting event.

Investors
The bill would eliminate a category of visas that spurred foreign investment in the US, the EB-5 program, which was used by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner's family businesses to build major real estate projects.
That concept is represented by awarding six points to an applicant who invests $1.35 million into a "new commercial enterprise" in the US, maintained for three years and with that individual holding management of that business as his or her primary application. The points go up to 12 if the investment is $1.8 million.

Spouses
The bill also requires applicants, if they want to bring a spouse with them, to calculate the points the spouse would earn under the same rubric.

トランプ大統領 移民規制法案発表 与野党から反発が

政府高官とCNN記者が批判の応酬

この法案をめぐって2日に行われたホワイトハウスの記者会見では、ホワイトハウスの高官とCNNテレビの記者が激しく応酬する一幕がありました。

英語が話せる外国人を優先するという制度について、CNNテレビのアコスタ記者が「移民はアメリカに来てから英語を学ぶわけにはいかないのか。イギリスやオーストラリアからしか移民を受け入れないのか」などと疑問を呈しました。

これに対し、ミラー大統領補佐官は「イギリスやオーストラリア以外の国の出身でも英語が話せる人は大勢いるのに、そんなことも知らないのか。あなたの偏見があらわになった。言語道断で失礼極まりなく、無知で、愚かな発言だ」と声を荒らげて批判しました。

アコスタ記者は以前、トランプ大統領から「おまえはフェイクニュースだ」と名指しされるなど政権に対する批判的な報道ぶりで知られていて、記者会見では、自身の父親は英語が話せないままキューバから渡ってきた移民だと反論しました。

一方、ミラー補佐官はトランプ大統領のスピーチライターを務めるなど雄弁なことで知られ、2人は一歩も譲らず、応酬は相手の発言を遮りながら5分ほど続きました。

トランプ政権と政権に批判的なメディアの対立を象徴するような一幕となりましたが、会見に出席していたほかの記者たちからは「泥仕合だった」と冷ややかな感想も聞かれました。

既に、オーストコリアで実施済。最初は、白人優遇を隠す為の処置でしたが...
最終的には、特亜からの移民を増やすことに。
シンガポールでも実施済ですが、付帯条件が厳しいので、こちらは問題なし。
高技術者の最低賃金、最長契約期間、妻帯者の制限... ガチガチです。
