When President Donald Trump proposed a merit-based immigration reform plan earlier this year (see our video report on that below), he was, of course, widely mocked and derided by the Washington establishment media and the statist pundit class as a caveman and a bigot.
Of course, the president’s real ‘sin’ when he makes such proposals is that he’s offending the sensibilities of the establishment class, all of whom have been propagandized by Left-wing Ivy League professors who believe America is the real problem in the world, not the benevolent superpower, and as such, should never, ever adopt “America first” policies.
But that thinking runs counter to President Trump’s thinking, of course, as evidenced by his 2016 campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” and his 2020 reelection slogan, “Keep America Great! Promises Made, Promises Kept.”
And yet, other countries believe in the same principle when it comes to immigration policy — that those who seek entry should bring something of value with them, like skills, so that citizens do not have to support them with their taxes.
Like Canada.

So much for the leftists swearing they’ll move to Canada to get away from Trump.
The president has created his own brand of legislation.
“A Trump-like Bill for immigration.”
Everyone knows what that means; actual enforcement of the law.
You have to read the article to learn the Canadian province involved is Quebec. That being the case, applicants will probably have to speak French as their primary language plus other French promoting attributes. Watch...
Wow, I was expecting this to be Alberta or Saskatchewan. But Quebec? One of the centers of progressivism in Canada?
Amazing.
Quebec has gained extraordinary rights to thumb its nose at certain Canadian government legislation which it feels impinges on their Frenchness.
Essentially they are flipping the bird to Trudeau, one of their own.
Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature.
I have spoken with a number of Quebecois.
I found them to be generally Socialists, but strangely conservative/libertarian in certain respects. One guy for example wanted the health care service to keep their nose out of his life, that he’d take care of himself with diet and supplements.
Once you let them know that you’re an American they are much more cordial with you than if they think you’re an
Anglo-Canadian.
Quebecois are quite ethnocentric, this may be their way of keeping the middle eastern refugees out.
