In a speech Thursday, President Donald Trump will propose a new immigration system that gives preference to high-skilled immigrants such as scientists and engineers. But the plan deals only with legal immigration, not the 11 million undocumented immigrants already living in the U. S. or the roughly 3.6 million «Dreamers» who were illegally brought into the country as minors. Developed by senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, the plan is designed to create a «merit-based» point system for people seeking to enter the U. S. and move away from the mostly family-based system in place today. Trump is still tied up in numerous legal battles with Congress after the publication of the redacted Mueller Report, but he has, for the most part, moved on and is relitigating immigration and several other contentious policy battles that could shape his reelection effort.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to be the latest Democrat to jump in the 2020 presidential race and he will make his announcement on Thursday morning, according to several reports. «Good Morning America» tweeted that the mayor and his wife will be on the show. De Blasio will be the 23rd person to join the crowded Democratic field and he won’t even be the first person this week to join the race as Montana Gov.
