Canada has had a merit based system of immigration for years.
And Canada is also far more welcoming to refugees than we are and does not have a race-based policy such as Trump has demonstrated he wants through his travel bans and shithole comments. Stop defending the indefensible.

The bipartisan proposal brought by six Senators to the shithole meeting addressed all four areas Trump said that must be addressed: DACA, border security, chain migration and merit-based immigration and he blew it up with his racist comment. Rather than working with this proposal (as he promised he would just Tuesday. in his silly public meeting), he blows it up and rather than apologize for his racist comment to restart the process, he today blames Democrats for killing immigration reform in an effort to withhold funds from the military. As asinine as this is, it seems you bought it lock, stock and barrel.
