whoa! We're not the one's making immigration policy.

Monday’s rule is an attempt to enact Mr. Trump’s priorities. It embraces people who have financial means while shunning immigrants who are struggling. That is certain to affect the flow of immigrants who have sought refuge in the United States from impoverished places in Africa, Central America and the Caribbean.

Two questions:

1. Do you think the average per capita income of all African, Central American, and Caribbean "shithole" countries is higher, lower, or about the same as the per capita average income of European countries?

2. If the average per capita income of African, C American and Caribbean countries were lower, much lower, so immigrants from those countries would arrive poorer than those from Europe and more reliant on social services (especially those seeking 'refuge'), then how, over the long term, might a "wealth test" affect immigration from THOSE countries as opposed to immigration from Europe?

If I understand you correctly, we should expect to see no change in the ratio of immigrants from southern countries to those from northern because people from non-white countries "can attain wealth too." So which group collectively started out with more wealth would not matter. Is that hat you are saying?
