From Trump's speech - his 10th point:
"Number 10: We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers
We’ve admitted 59 million immigrants to the United States between 1965 and 2015.
Many of these arrivals have greatly enriched our country. But we now have an obligation to them, and to their children, to control future immigration – as we have following previous immigration waves – to ensure assimilation, integration and upward mobility.
Within just a few years immigration as a share of national population is set to break all historical records.
The time has come for a new immigration commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration system in order to achieve the following goals:
· To keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms
· To select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in U.S. society, and their ability to be financially self-sufficient. We need a system that serves our needs – remember, it’s America First.
· To choose immigrants based on merit, skill and proficiency
· And to establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.
We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally and properly-vetted, and in a manner that serves the national interest.
We’ve been living under outdated immigration rules from decades ago. To avoid this happening in the future, I believe we should sunset our visa laws so that Congress is forced to periodically revise and revisit them. We wouldn’t put our entire federal budget on autopilot for decades, so why should we do the same for immigration?"
That year, 1965, is significant:

Trump called for LEGAL immigration quotas in his speech
Gutierrez, with his "taco trucks on every corner" comment, seems to be referring to this same idea... He doesn't want too many brown people in the country (maybe he owns a bunch of taco trucks, and wants to limit competition through legislation - that's very Republican!):
Trump specifically mentioned going back to pre-1965 immigration laws -- another racist "dog whistle", because that would restore the "National Origins Formula" limiting immigration from "non-white" countries.
