In addition to mandated checks like a health screening and background check, immigrants would be required to pass a civics test. They would then receive points based on age, English proficiency, offer of employment and education levels.
President Donald Trump will roll out a two-pronged immigration proposal on Thursday that would make sweeping changes to the legal immigration system — including requiring a civics test — and enhance border security, senior administration officials said Wednesday.
The proficiency requirements will likely see blowback. Senior administration officials are already defending it, arguing that language capacity is linked to better outcomes for immigrants and their children. The meat of the proposal, however, relates to the creation of a merit-based immigration system — from a family-based immigration system. The number of immigrants entering the country would neither increase nor decrease, but the composition would change.
The plan, crafted by Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, White House adviser Stephen Miller and economic adviser Kevin Hassett. Officials said the plan is only intended to address legal immigration at the moment, setting aside strategies to deal with illegal immigration.But despite the many potential pitfalls of moving forward with this plan — and no specific timeline for movement on what appears to be mostly a political document — the White House is casting themselves as confident.
