President Donald Trump has unveiled a new immigration plan that would prioritize high-skilled immigrants and restrict family-based migration.

The number of Green Cards would stay the same, at approximately 1.1 million per year. Under Trump's proposal, however, the percentages would change to:

\n57% skill-based (up from 12%)
\n33% family ties (down from 66%)
\n10% humanitarian (down from 22%)

Do you support Trump's immigration plan? Take action above and tell your reps, then share your thoughts below.
