He has also frequently called for the end to the visa lottery program, something his immigration plan seeks to do. "Through these steps, we will deliver an immigration system that strengthens our traditions, our culture and our values," he said. Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for lower levels of immigration, called it a "positive effort" but flagged the failure to reduce legal immigration levels. “We are proposing an immigration plan that puts the jobs, wages and safety of American workers first.”“Our plan is pro-American, pro-immigrant, and pro-worker,” he said.
