The overwhelming majority of Asian immigrants come to the U.S. through the family-based system and those who come to the country on employment-based visas often rely on the family-based system to reunite with other family members, according to a report by HuffPost.
However the bill would cut family-based immigrant visas to 88,000 each year -- compare that to the 673,000 people who received green cards through the family based system during the 2017 fiscal year alone.
As to the language component and the "merit-based" system of the RAISE Act, quite a few Chinese Americans interviewed by Xinhua found them not a problem.
"Overall Trump's immigration reform has its own logic," said Huang Xingqun, a middle-aged man living in Los Angeles, "He wants to make America great again, he is right from the point view of a businessman, if too many immigrants come, some of them are too old to work, and just rely on welfare, it's unaffordable for any country."
"I think (Trump's) policy would be better, because all parties would get what they want, which means if you have a specialty you will be more recognized," said a white-collar worker from Chicago, surnamed Zheng.
Zhen Miaozheng, who immigrated to the U.S. with family visa, believed the policy changes make sense too.
"You have to speak English relatively well. You should not live on just welfare. You have to contribute to the country. All the new immigrants should work hard to make a decent living here, there is no such easy thing like only bending down to pick up money."
