That is certainly the intent of the program, yes.

That's a pretty racist implication.  The merit system is intended to bring the best from any country regardless of the place of origin as long as they're not coming from a nation that has been identified as supporting terrorism, and even in those instances, I'm sure certain accommodations can be made for someone seeking asylum even under the Trump plan..  To say certain races don't meet the requirements implies there are races that you feel are inferior, and last time I checked, that's pretty much textbook racism, but not surprising coming from the left.  It's not like liberals have ever done anything like that..other than starting the KKK, opposing Civil Rights, and ramming a social welfare system down our throats intended to keep minorities in poverty as a permanent dependent class of democrat voters.  Other than those things, you libs have never been known to be racist, right?

Seriously, from what I understand about this merit system, it has nothing to do with race unless you're an agenda whoring liberal who needs to find any possible way to work that into any situation. It's a point system based on very specific criteria. It doesn't matter if you're Eastern European or Mexican or African or Chinese. These are people who have the potential to become high income earners in our system, which helps the permanent under class that you liberals are so fond of propping up instead of giving them a hand up. It helps a growing economy so that those who are living in government induced poverty can elevate their status if they want to do so. So, it makes sense a liberal would be opposed because it would chip away at your base.
