Immigration in the Trump Era — Quiz

Question 9 • US History

What is one argument against merit-based immigration?

Answer
A
It invites too many immigrants to come to the US because their family is already here.
B
It would allow too many people without highly specialized skills to move into the country.
C
It could potentially take jobs away from US workers who have the same skills.
D
It would strain the system if too many immigrants from war-torn countries came to the US.

Explanation

Merit-based immigration gives preference to applicants based on skills, education, or other qualifications. One argument against this approach is that skilled immigrants could compete with U.S. workers for the same jobs, potentially reducing those workers’ job opportunities. Choice C describes that concern.
