Politicians who wish to deceive the public are quick to call everything President Trump does racist. They know that if they break the issue of immigration down to the least common denominator large segments of the public will buy into the deception. Making immigration about race allows them to avoid the real topic; the value to Americans of merit/ value based immigration vs. lottery and chain migration. Merit based immigration creates a system in which every person who arrives in the country provides instant economic and innovative value. Value based immigration ensures that those who arrive have western values such as individual liberty. Quota based immigration randomly selects people based on race; giving no credence to the issue of if they will contribute to or be a burden on the rest of society economically and culturally. Chain migration has the same issue on a mass scale.
