Why do you think what the country allowed 50, 100 years ago is the standard by which we should judge what we do now?

Weren't we making people surgically sterile in that same time period? Do you really think the US was doing everything so spectacularly then that it doesn't bear reconsidering now?[/quote]
The argument that we shouldn't be doing something that we did 300 or 400 years ago applies to situations other than immigration, ie, we don't need a militia, and we are not in danger of another British invasion. Therefore, we don't need people to have the right to bear arms.[/quote]

The right to bear arms wasn't about a British invasion. It was about the right to overthrow your own government.

But yes, I agree that just claiming something worked hundreds of years ago is insufficient justification for why we should continue it now.

So, explain. Why are you against merit based immigration?[/quote]

I'm against merit based immigration since that is a dog whistle meaning Northern Europeans or Asians - populations that already have an educational and economic advantage.  It is not helping out those  disadvantaged by their circumstances in life who view america as their life raft and better life for their families.  After a generation or two, the disadvantaged who arrive here, are educated and their families are fully committed to being productive Americans.[/quote]
