White House floats an offer to keep legal immigration at 1 million per year

As the Senate prepares to begin a free-wheeling debate over immigration next week, White House officials have begun floating a possible compromise idea — a pledge to maintain legal immigration at current levels, about 1.1 million people a year, for more than a decade.
President Trump has proposed a series of measures, including restrictions on family unification, which he calls "chain migration," and an end to the visa lottery, that critics say ultimately could cut legal immigration to America by 40% or more.

But a White House official said Saturday that the Trump administration is working with allies in the Senate on a proposal that would create a path to citizenship for an estimated 1.8 million people who were brought to the country illegally as children, and that would clear the backlog of nearly 4 million sponsored relatives who currently are waiting for green cards.
The combined effort, officials said, would effectively make up for the cuts in other immigration categories for about 13 years, the official said. After that, if Congress takes no additional action to add or expand visa categories, the total number of people allowed to resettle in the U.S. each year likely would decline by hundreds of thousands.

Das ist sehr gut

That sounds good to me. Democrats are confident they can win back the government within the new few years.

Sounds very reasonable to me. What more do Democrats want? For fucks sake.

wtf does this even mean? its worded terribly.
and rofl at some of these sub 60 IQ politicians, the cuts to legal immigrarion aren't "arbitrary", atleast try and find a reason to be against it dumbfuck.

Could someone translate this to relative numbers? What does it exactly mean?

Is the current rate 1.1 million which the WH is simply trying to preserve for 13 years?

The last couple of weeks Trump has shown more and more that he is willing to fix this. This shows that he is serious to compromising, the ball is now on the Democrat’s court.

From what I understood. To offset the cuts to chain migration and dv lottery, they would immeditately process all of the pending applications for sponsored relatives?

The source is false . This is fake news

If democrats still doesnt compromise fuck them. These fuckers have screwed over so many people time after time -__- now ball is partly in their court and they wanna play games.
