    Press Sec. Sanders denies that Pres. Trump's desired immigration policy would advantage white immigrants, telling @CeciliaVega that "by definition, a merit-based system is colorblind." http://abcn.ws/2rdnJUj pic.twitter.com/jk1QVntzqR

        Colorblindness was just one of many egalitarian ruses they employ; it was just a convenient tool to mask their shameless bigotry and cruel indifference. And like total idiots you fell for it! What morons.

        There’s our favorite word again - “colorblind”. See how that word can compliment/mask an evil person’s true intentions? Simply refer to any policy as - colorblind - then pursue a policy of bringing in only white immigrants (with money) — all while claiming to be “colorblind”.

        A merit based system really isn’t... people in more “developed” countries have numerous advantages over folks from “underdeveloped” countries giving them easier access to tools to gain said “merits” for admittance...

        Kind of like poll taxes and literacy tests for voters in the Jim Crow era.

        Well it depends on the definition of "merit" so this claim is false.

        And the people who would be operating and running the system would NOT be colourblind. Trump knows how to pick racist and complicit people in his administration.

        What happens when the darker immigrants surpass the merit system? What will be the criteria next? Or will they have a circled c next to their housing application, um immigration application?

        For Sara Sanders and Donnie Trump, the merits of being White or Aryan are greater than the merits of being Black or Brown
