[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other issue is that we need to stop focusing on the word “shithole” and focus on the principle he was espousing for immigration. He wants to allow immigration from countries with white Europeans. On one side he talks about merit visa on the other side he has decided that he doesn’t want people from these countries. So he wants immigration based on color of skin and not merit.”Merit” is a code word to justify his racist policies.[/quote]

Immigration from the ''white'' countries is practically shot down for a long time now.

Although I disagree with the statement ''s@hole countries=s@ty people'' but what is wrong with bringing more white people into this country? From Eastern Europe for example. 
There are a little over 2 m of E Europeans in the US vs approx 3.2 m from African and N African countries.
  
Should immigration to the US take turns - ''one decade, one continent''? 
What is so wrong with white people that liberals try to fight them off so hard?[/quote]

no way - i can understand a desire for opening up more doors for western europeans. wanting eastern europeans to come just means you are viewing immigration on racial terms (though [b]some could argue slavs and other eastern europeans aren't really white[/b] in the sense of what whiteness meant here historically).

Poles are not welcome by many in the UK, where things aren't quite viewed through muddled race terms.

i'm a liberal that supports many of the merit based arguments. it's the right that poisons the merit based policies with injecting racial points of view.[/quote]

Dude, Slavs are typically whiter than most white Americans of Germanic descent :lol:[/quote]

Slavs historically were not considered white (look at 1920's immigration policy).

If you are going by 'paleness' then i guess some japanese are white? [/quote]
