has had a points system for decades. This is a real thing. Just a warning. I actually think if you bring in a variety of people you have a healthier country. After all if all you have are alpha males, you are Afghanistan. Doesn't work out so good. You need worker bees and emotionally vibrant and such variety. Great Britain had worker bees and they outdid smarter people like Italy for the longest time. Having only very 'rational' people in Germany gave the world Hitler. The USA became an extraverted peoples due to the mix of races at its start and became the first democracy in the world. I would worry a great deal that the points will be allocated according to Trump. And cutting down on immigrants in number. The right politicizes everything and would no doubt only allow conservative voters in if given the chance.

We need immigrants. Many are doctors, software developers, computer technicians, mathematicians, teachers, and everyday people, etc, etc, etc. We need fresh minds in this country. We need the culture. We need the love and the gratefulness for the little things in life those of us born here take for granted. We need to churn The Stupid out of here.
