Irony? Melania wants so desperately, and never will have, the love and respect Michelle has, even giving the same speech. The trumps are second rate all around.QUOTE="Sheriff Joe, post: 274012, member: 1585"

Immigration
Can a ‘merit-based’ immigration system like Canada's or Australia’s work in the US?
Both countries use points-based selection systems where immigrants get points for criteria such as English language proficiency, employment experience and education levels.
Australia, for example, requires a minimum of 65 points for selection, though the threshold can reach up to 90 points for some industries. Applicants can get 20 points for superior English skills, another 20 points for holding a doctorate (versus 15 points for a Master’s degree), and up to 15 points for experience working overseas — with bonus points if they’ve ever worked in Australia.
Family-based admissions account for roughly one-quarter of immigration to both Canada and Australia, according to their respective immigration agencies.
That contrasts with the United States, where family-based admissions account for 66% of the roughly 1.1 million green cards issued annually, according to Department of Homeland Security figures. Economic-based admissions, or those where an employer may bring in overseas workers with a job offer, account for 12% of US immigration. The diversity visa, which grants legal permanent residency to 50,000 immigrants annually, accounts for 5%.

Look at the blue line.Still no price increase visible --
Now look at the red line.
Look back at the blue line then look up at the red line.
You pay the red line price.
Haters gotta hate....
Does "family-based admissions" refer to Melania's parents?
They wouldn't be very good haters if they didnt.
I know that. The lines are identified in the legend. What I was referring to was the price jump many* expected July 1. Not seeing it yet.
*many = you know who
T is a hater. Haven't you noticed?
You tell us Magoo.
It's definitely how the majority of the folks from south of the border get in.
Hard workers who speak little English, many of them don't care to or need to.
So is your doppelganger ratboy. Haven't you noticed?
Let me draw you a picture.
Lets say you have ten apples for sale for 1 dollar.
Then, the government says they want one apple for every ten apples you sell.
You still sell them for 10 for a buck because the other guy down the street is doing the same.
Then the government comes back and says, "we want four apples for every ten, AND we're gonna want five next year, and six the year after that. Same goes for your competition down the street".
Where does the buck get passed?
That's right.
It gets passed from the blue line to the red line.
Did you intend that to make sense?
Where is the sudden jump in gasoline prices? (BTW, I checked today when driving past the Arco station on my usual route - the price there is still $3.499/gallon for 87-octane regular just like it was on June 30.)
OK, I'll tell you. Mrs. T violated her original tourist visa by taking work and making money. When she came back and filed for permanent status due to her demonstrated artistic ability, she lied about what she did on the first visa. After her residency and citizenship were secured, she managed to get her parents legal entry.
Several points in there are things old man t would have you believe he is opposed to. I guess it's different when it's to his personal benefit. Do you still love him?
