  I was hoping for an actual quote from Bannon that supports that claim, instead of an article that admits: > While Bannon didn’t explicitly say anything against immigrants, then adds the partisan spin: > he seemed to hint ...

    I was not the OP who you replied to but I assumed that this was what he was referring to. When asked about students staying back in the country after going to Ivy league schools the quote is “When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think . . . ” Bannon said, not finishing the sentence. “A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society.” Which implies that he would prefer fewer legal immigrants. The three-quarters figure is of course a gross exagerration.

      > Steve Bannon would prefer fewer legal immigrants I think that's a fair characterization of his position. Fewer. But I'm asking about a source for the claim "[Steve Bannon] wants to stop skilled immigrants from coming to America".

        When he's talking about CEOs of tech companies, "skilled" is assumed.

          Skilled is fair, "stop" is what I'm questioning.
