“We desperately, desperately need more immigrants,” Mick Mulvaney said. “We don’t have enough people to stimulate the economic growth that our country has had over the past four years.” We need more immigrants."

This statement creates disagreement with a number of administration officials, such as the White House adviser Stephen Miller, who advocates for severe restrictions on both legal and illegal immigrants.

Mulvaney said that despite the reputation of US President Donald Trump as an “adversary of immigrants,” the White House is interested in more workers from abroad.

Mulvaney added that “we are very interested in expanding” the immigration model, which will be similar to the models of Canada and Australia, which he spoke well of.

Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, has repeatedly called for highly qualified immigrants. However, Kouchner's official proposal for immigration law will not be approved by Congress until at least 2021, representatives of the presidential administration said.

Trump invited legal immigrants to the country during his appeal to Congress in early February.

“Legal immigrants enrich our nation and strengthen our society in countless ways,” Trump said at the time. “I want people to come to our country in large numbers, but they have to do it legally.”

He also said that “it is a moral duty to create an immigration system that protects the lives and work of US citizens. But also do not forget about the obligations to the millions of immigrants living in the country today, who followed the rules and respected our laws. ”
