Instead of well vetted, educated youth who live here. He wants profit based immigration to any w $$$

Profit based immigration that HE and the Kushners make bank from families of oligarchs and those favored by the Russian and Chinese governments enough to be very wealthy. Possibly acting as agents of the government and money launderers. Always buying or renting in Trump and Kushner developments.

Young people who are eager to study and work here and whose families boost the economy by paying taxes VS rich people w tax shelters and anchor babies. This is what it comes down to.

Have not seen the media connect the dots on this .... but he doesn’t mean merit- otherwise the DACA kids would be safe- he means profit based immigration. Under his travel ban guidelines it would be much easier for well connected and funded grown men to come here from the nation’s he deemed dangerous than it would for mothers and their children or poor refugees.
