No wonder this story isn't getting top billing on the Globe, unlike other "Trump messes up again" outrage stories.

Very uncomfortable for Canadian leftists who have been gloating over Canada's supposed  moral superiority over immigration, to object to Trump's wanting to adopt Canada's policies.

We have largely avoided the US's immigration conflicts because we have been selecting for skills, while they have had, effectively, open borders with South America, and a  policy favouring family reunification over skilled immigration. European and American critics of their immigration policies have been calling for a Canadian-like model  for decades.

We have no justifiable grounds on which to object.
