'We need people': Donald Trump says he wants to see more legal immigration in U.S.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he wants to see more legal immigration because additional workers are needed by companies moving back to the United States.

“I need people coming in because we need people to run the factories and plants and companies that are moving back in,” he told a group of reporters from regional newspapers. “We need people.”

Trump’s remarks followed an unscripted comment in his State of the Union address Tuesday night in which he called for immigrants to enter the U.S. legally in “the largest numbers ever.”

The ad-libbed line immediately caught the attention of immigration advocates because it appeared to contradict the Trump administration’s hard-line stance on immigration, including the president's push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump's administration also has moved to cut legal immigration. It has granted fewer visas, approved fewer refugees, ordered the removal of hundreds of thousands of legal residents whose home countries have been hit by war and natural disasters and pushed Congress to pass laws to dramatically cut the entire legal immigration system.

At Wednesday’s briefing with regional reporters, Trump was asked if his unscripted remark in the State of the Union about letting in more legal immigrants represented a change in policy.

No, sir, we DON'T "need people".

With 300+ million, the United States is "full up".
We don' need no mo'.

Not for 50-75 years.

NO MORE IMMIGRATION!
Not illegal.
And not LEGAL, either.

I know math is hard... But if you need more people, stop killing babies.
