First off, the fact that you think all immigrants are low skilled workers and can't learn a second, or third, or fourth language is telling.
Second, still waiting on that source.

The RAISE Act would do exactly what you propose,
"The RAISE Act aims to reduce the number of low-skilled immigrants who are allotted green cards by 50% and would replace the current employment-based system with a merit-based system grading possible immigrants according to specifics such as education, English-language ability, high-paying job offers, and age."
Yet Democrats response?:
"Democrats in Congress dismissed the policy as shameful, disgusting and emblematic of naked intolerance in the White House."
From PBS:
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/should-immigrants-be-required-to-learn-english
"We know from experts right now that approximately 5.5 approximately 55 percent of inspaniduals, anywhere between four million to six million undocumented, will currently not pass the sort of exam that Rubio is trying to impose at this time after 10 years. "
Permanent Residency seems like a good incentive, yet 10 years is still not enough for more than half of immigrants who are supposedly "capable of learning a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th language".
Funny, I don't remember proposing anything. I just said it's rather telling that you think immigrants are all low skilled inspaniduals.
