I hope Trump brings some of the hot eastern European women for me.

So you DO care that not enough white people have been emigrating here since 1965

What I really support is a moratorium on all immigration.

It is a process that has worked and it was hugely hardened about 2010 by OBAMA!!!
Ignore Trump's stupid talk.



since 911 every single US domestic attack has been from someone who was radicalised IN the USA.

Our system is working really well and has been for a long time. Sure we need to stay on top , stay vigilant and make improvements as we go.
How are the Syrian refugees vetted? Their government is in complete disarray, mostly due to the USA. How about the Somali refugees? Their government was basically nonexistent. How about vetting people from countries like North Korea who refuse to cooperate with us? How about people from Russia and China? Do we really trust their governments not to slip spies in the mix?
The new darling of the left James Comey stated that we couldn't properly vett the Syrian refugees.
A merit based system only makes sense. We produce enough burden on our own it is stupid to import more. As you pointed out we produce enough nut jobs on our own , we don't need more.

Merit based would have kept Sayfullo Saipov and his 23 relatives out of the country. No more "diversity green cards" that liberals support.

Absolutely support it, and as the world's superpower, we should set a far higher bar for entrance here than any other nation.

Take just the top .01% of all applicants..

Nobody needs a powerful high capacity assault truck. Hunting trucks are fine though.
