A “merit-based” immigration system prioritizes individuals with high-level skills, such as engineers. Trump wants to prioritize people from predominantly white countries. If the difference between these isn’t immediately obvious to you, it’s time for some self-reflection.

Most Dreamers speak very good English. Many have very good educations. Many others have served in the military with more than a few making the ultimate sacrifice for the US. How are we supposed to do better than that? You should engage in some self-reflection.

My comment has nothing to do with Dreamers. It’s directed at the unfortunately high number of people trying to defend Trump’s “shithole” comment on the grounds that it was actually advocacy of a merit-based immigration system. It wasn’t.

My bad, Nicholas. I should have read your tweet more closely. I agree wholeheartedly.
