Immigration rules

Sometimes the way we see things is based on a predisposition toward a certain outcome. Currently immigration is a hot topic. Trump has said he would like a policy based on merit similar to Canada where those who are selected are educated people with certain skills. It is well known that the school systems in Europe are superior to those in Africa so one possible criteria is to give preferential treatment to Europeans over Africans. Depending on viewpoint this might be construed as preferring whites over blacks. Yesterday Trump asked why we are taking so many immigrants from Africa and why we couldn’t take more from Norway. This was interpreted differently by different groups.
