DHS Sec.: I Take ‘Offense to the Comments and Suggestions that the President Is Racist’

‘What he’s looking at is the exact merit-based system we have in Australia and Canada’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALLACE: "Isn’t that the definition of racism, to say we don’t want people from these black countries, but we do want people from a very white country?"
NIELSEN: "I think what the president is saying is he’d like to move to merit-based, which is based on an individual. So, whether individuals can come here and can contribute to our society, help our economy, assimilating communities, and help America be better. I take a little bit of offense to the comments and suggestions that the president is racist. What he’s looking at is the exact merit-based system we have in Australia and Canada. I’m sure that we are not, any of us, suggesting that Canada and Australia and their leaders are racists."
