Trump calls for 'merit-based' immigration system in address to Congress

Australia and many other countries already choose who they allow to get a work visa based on their "merit" http://www.workpermit.com/immigration/australia/australia-sk...

More points for some jobs, less points for others http://www.workpermit.com/immigration/australia/australian-s...

Note that if you want to immigrate anywhere in the world, you need be attractive enough to get married, or get accepted to a school, or buy an investor visa, otherwise get screwed is the global consensus.
