Trumps immigration plan consists of:
- Citizens and Permanent residents are only allowed to sponsor their spouses and minor children. the current law states that they are allowed to sponsor unlimited number of immediate relatives. Trump claims the government would go through its backlog of applications for the Visas.
- Gets rid of the Visa lottery program he said that they will "reallocate the visas to reduce the family based backlog and high skilled employment backlog". The current law is 50,000 visas are available to people form "low admission countries" but there is also education and employment requirements as well as passing a background check.
- He makes no changes for skilled workers. The current law is US issues 85,000 H-1B visas each year and they are offered to people who have an education level of a Bachelors or higher.
- Gets rid of deter visa overstayers, criminals and "illegal border crossers". The current law is getting rid of criminals.
- 10-12 year path plan for citizenships for Dreamers and they would have to meet certain requirements for education and work.
