Would We Require that Hospital Patients make America Great?

   I have more of an issue with President Trump wanting coming to America to be based more on merit than I do of his using the expletive he did.
   Oh, I do not like that he applied the expletive to Haitians and Africans. I have issue with that. Using an expletive to describe a people is a put-down. We shouldn't be applying an expletive to any class of people.
   I read now how President Trump wants to have a more merit-based immigration system, where you come to America based on your merits. Bless him, the same, but I do not think this is the way we should be moving with immigration. These people are coming here to receive American freedoms, and to chase American dreams. They are coming to escape crime and to escape war and to escape poverty.
  Do we say that to receive freedom, you must show that you merit it? If freedom is to be freedom, it must be freedom for all, without a list of government restrictions to be completed before you can receive it. Do we say that in order to escape war, you must qualify through some kind of merit screening? If a person were about to be shot in a war, and we had a chance to get him out first, would we say, "We will free you from facing that bullet if you promise to go to college once you get here"? What kind of merit system is the president suggesting?
   I do not fault the president if he is suggesting everyone must work once they get here, and must pay taxes, if that is what he is saying. But, I don't think it is. Here's his Sunday tweet:
   "I, as President, want people coming into our Country who are going to help us become strong and great again, people coming in through a system based on MERIT. No more Lotteries! #AMERICA FIRST"
  I question whether the basis of immigration should be what it can do for us. I believe it should be based on what we can do for the immigrants. Making America great again is a great concept, and a wonderful goal, but to suggest you won't accept the needy and won't help the needy unless they offer something that will make America great is a little much. Would we go into a hospital and tell a patient we cannot help him unless he offers something to society that will make it great?
  Isn't that how this treats the immigrants?
