May 17, 2019.Every time I hear that President Trump is talking about immigrants, I wonder what cruel language he has come up with to describe us - "Rapists," "Drug dealers," "Invaders." But now Mr. Trump is talking immigration again, and this time, he is making some sense.
Whether judged according to merit or family ties, immigrants are already better educated than their native-born counterparts.
What could be more dangerous to a white supremacist than thousands of immigrants who are better educated and more employable than he is?
On the core premise of preferring highly skilled immigrants, Mr. Trump has a point.
Liberals would have to explain why they don't like highly skilled immigrants and would end up looking confused, while conservatives would get to play the role of mature border enforcers.
Unlike in the United States, a vast majority of immigrants to Canada are evaluated on their skills and qualifications and whether those match the needs of the labor market.
Preserving the idea of America as a nation of immigrants requires more than just compassion.
