U.S. has to stop taking in ‘below-average’ immigrants who won’t help economy, says Lutnick

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that the U.S. should focus on bringing in immigrants that help grow the economy as the White House rolls out its long-awaited “gold card” visa.

Lutnick said the “average green-card holder” in the U.S. earns “one-third less than the average American.”
