President Trump pushes for a merit-based immigration system

I like the idea, but the problems with it are apparent:

Who decides what is "of merit?" "A Republican government would say "anyone, regardless of race, who can impact out economy positively and who loves us" and a Democratic government would say shit like "Unemployed trans Muslim communists TO THE FRONT!"

I would have to see some criteria before supporting it, but in theory, I like it. Didn't know Canada had merit based immigration. What's their criteria?

Proficiency in English/French, education credentials, job credentials, net worth, that kind of thing. I imagine the criteria for Trump's system are going to be similar.

I agree that it's not a perfect solution, but it should still tip things in our favour a little bit.

This is the same type of system we have in Canada. Use that to your advantage when arguing with leftists. American leftists believe anything Canadian = good, so you can use us as a counterpoint to their claims of LITERALLY RACISM.

That's pretty decent, actually. I'd be on board with something like that. Might be the best type of system there is for that sort of thing.
