At the direction of Trump, Kushner is leading the immigration reform project, which he said was now into its final stages and expects to make it public soon. Kushner rued that America's immigration system was a very outdated compared to some of the peer countries that it competes with for talent. He said just 12 per cent of people become legal immigrants through merit-based system right now. "This bill will create a modern, merit-based immigration system that allows the best and the brightest from throughout the world to compete based on objective criteria to become American citizens." People are going to be able to come into our country, be proud of our country, and help our country," Trump said.
