Border racism

Many liberals, including former President Obama, say that the concern about the border is based on racism. Most conservatives, including former President Trump, want a merit based immigration system where the people who are allowed to immigrate have the skills needed to provide for themselves. This is in conjunction with the skills needed by US businesses and the using merit is the best way to satisfy these requirements. Using merit based most of the new immigrants will come from Asia and most of those from India. These are people who have studied English in schools and have science and engineering skills. It just so happens that they are not white so the claim of racism is not accurate.
