'I think people with lower skills can contribute as well, so I would be open to expanding that category as well,' said Sen. Toomey.
President Donald Trump last week unveiled his latest proposal for immigration reform, part of which involves prioritizing a potential immigrant's skills and education. However, one prominent Republican senator said Sunday that the U.S. needs to take in a wider range of people from the outside world.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Pennsylvania Republican Senator Pat Toomey simultaneously agreed with the Trump administration's call for higher-skilled immigrants while also expressing the sentiment that these are not the only people the U.S. should accept. At the same time, said Toomey,"I think people with lower skills can contribute as well, so I would be open to expanding that category as well."
The White House's immigration reform proposal is just that — a proposal. It would need the backing of Congress to become a reality, and that appeared unlikely to happen.
