No, they aren't, they are objective.

If you seriously intend to tell me that a man who insists on a border wall that wouldn't actually stop anyone, just wreck ecosystems and be a monument to racism and xenophobia, is looking for a truly impartial merit-based system, then sure, believe away. I've got some beachfront property in El Centro with your name on it.

A "merit system" is designed with the knowledge that "undesirables" have no chance of scoring high enough to get in. Yes, it's racist, and yes, that's the intent, because Trump's die hards lick it up, and he's got to do something to keep them from getting bored and moving to his right. If you want to hide behind labels and blame the big bad boogeyman liberals for everything that's wrong with the world, cool. When you're ready to sit at the grown-ups table and respond to a post you disagree with without being as intellectual and thoughtful as Adam2012, go ahead and quote me.

Undesirable has nothing to do with race unless you believe every time you aren't selected for a team or hired for a job it's based on race. If so that's a sad lens to view your life through, more worthy of JFC than an Attack Helicopter.

I can't believe I'm actually on the Trump side with this one, but I have to agree. "Undesirables" and race have nothing to do with one another. When it comes to illegals, I view "undesirables" as MS-13 members. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the fact that they are violent criminals who commit horrible crimes. I see nothing wrong what so ever with letting in what we as humans would call contributing members of society and keeping out criminals.
