I don't argue that it's been done before. My grandfather moved here from Italy and started a business. He guaranteed jobs to many of his countrymen so that they would be allowed to come. I argue that I don't trust the current administration's motive.
Would melania have been allowed in under these standards? A college dropout whose father was a Communist supporter and who posed naked and dated a bunch of rich older men until she found one who would marry her?
As proposed by Trump administration, the US may want to adopt a scoring system to choose immigrants.
In short, young people are scored higher than old people, educated higher than uneducated, high salary higher than low salary, fluent in English higher than otherwise.....
Pros: may be good for economy, may be fair to those who work hard
Cons: may violate the founding principles of the US, may be bad for low-skilled Americans, "unfair" to those who struggle

Merit based, so I assume being hot would count then?
Why Not other countries practice this policy and the US can no longer take the Poor from other countries, just because those countries in question can deal with their poor due to internal corruption.
Plus we should of always enforced Immigration Laws on the books. It will be painful, however this whole issue needs to be cleaned up.
My relatives came in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And people who already lived here were no happier to see them arrive than some of you are to see today's immigrants. Yet somehow they flourished.
Feelings are irrelevant. The needs and the best interests of our country as a whole is what counts.

I'm fine with that immigration does seem to lean too much towards blue collar or working class men looking for work, e.g., economic refugees and so on.
Technically that is the way to go...on paper anyways.
But you wait until these young and highly educated immigrants take away the best paying jobs in the country. Then ask your question again!
Indeed - that will be the next group to scream.
That said, I agree that we should have some form of merit based system - like most other countries that I would want to move to.
I'd love to live in London - but I can't just move there willy nilly.
