Michael Bloomberg unveils immigration plan including place-based visas

 

(CNN)Michael Bloomberg released his plan Monday to overhaul the nation's immigration system, promising to overturn several Trump administration policies and reform the visa system by allowing place-based visas that will allow regions of the country to address unmet economic and social needs.

 

In the plan, Bloomberg calls for ending "plans that run counter to American values," including the travel ban that was recently expanded, family separations at the border and building a wall along the US border with Mexico.


The former mayor of New York also commits to protecting status for those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as Temporary Protected Status holders -- both programs that have faced cuts and setbacks during the Trump administration. Bloomberg also states his support for a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented people living in the country.

 

Bloomberg's focus on visas in the proposal differs from what many of the other Democrats are calling for. Bloomberg proposes a place-based visa system that allows different areas and regions of the country to address their unfulfilled economic and social needs.


Bloomberg's plan would also create a start-up visa for entrepreneurs who generate jobs and allows international students who graduate with advanced degrees in a number of key fields, including STEM, health and business, to apply for green cards. It would also expand opportunities for foreign-born doctors and nurses to aid in the shortage of healthcare workers in rural and under-served communities across the country.


This place-based system ties back to Bloomberg's overarching campaign theme of focusing on places rather than class when it comes to his policies. Bloomberg's economy and jobs plan, which he unveiled in different communities across the Midwest last month, outlined the economic divide in the country in regional terms as opposed to the rich versus everyone else terms that many of his Democratic opponents use in their rhetoric.


Bloomberg is running an unorthodox campaign focused on reaching on the 14 Super Tuesday states, which vote March 3, and beyond, and he has largely bypassed the early nominating states while spending heavily from his own fortune.

Half way there myself, but wishing he would pick up a conservative VP.


You think Bloomberg is too liberal??

 

the man that has personally donated to current republican Senators and has had a hand in Ny state keeping a Republican majority, supported GW Bush over Kerry and was himself a two time Republican mayor? 
 

He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing but apparently he can just throw enough money around for ads to buy the votes he needs.

Trump was a democrat, the party system is full lies and deceit.

It's not about who they were, its who they are now.  Warren used to be a republican, if some consider her a little too left for their taste, she wouldnt stand a chance j  a GOP primary now.

The problem with Tulsi is she answers questions no one is asking.  I can't find any member of the media saying it is illegal for Trump to fire Vindman, or that he is not allowed to.  Yet Tulsi is framing her answer as if that is what is being said.   Yes, Trump can fire who he wants, but that doesn't mean the media that covers this and other members of the gov't cannot question the reasoning for a firing and/or put together a fairly obvious pattern of behavior of who/why is being fired and when.   I know Tulsi is not a dummy, so it comes off even worse that she is willing to go along with the right-wing narrative in order to score political points with...........(no one).
