Trump’s migrant bill

-

WASHINGTON: After a string of political setbacks, US President Donald Trump rolled out a bill to overhaul the country’s immigratio­n system on Wednesday, but his crackdown approach is likely to land him in another uphill battle. Trump said the current system “has not been fair” to US workers as it allows entries of low-skill immigrants hired at a lower salary.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the bill would be devastatin­g to agricultur­e-and tourism-driven South Carolina, “which relies on this immigrant workforce”. Xinhua
