So, point systems are not subjective ?   interesting.

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.

You can slap whatever labels you want on me. Doesn't make your take any more accurate than mine. 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.
