The President has said in public, as he told us yesterday, that he wants to move in the direction of, for instance, Canada and Australia, and focused on more of what he calls a merit-based system. Our legislation is the first step in that,” Cotton told host Joe Scarborough. “He’d like to see additional steps focusing on some of the employment based green cards and visas. And we’re happy to work with him on that.”

Cotton and Sen. David Perdue, R-Georgia, had both met with President Trump on Tuesday to discuss a bill they had introduced the previous month for reducing legal immigration.

When asked about the immigration of high-skilled workers, Perdue said:

I think on the H1B temporary visa, but also the permanent green cards like EB1 and EB2, the president wants to get the very best from around the world. Often those programs are implemented in a way that are not consistent with their purposes. They don’t bring in PhDs and computer scientists. They replace mid-level data management workers.

Somebody should tell this clueless Arkansan that Australia & Canada are second choice destinations for Indians; they emigrate to those countries when they are denied American visa.
