I think this will work similar to what Canada has. Essentially, Canada has a "points" based system that favours, young, educated and able bodied immigrants over older, less educated immigrants.

Something like this:

Graduated from high school +1 point
Accepted to Canadian University +2 points
Accepted into STEM Field +1 point
Speaks English +1 point
Between 18 and 30 yrs old +1 point

You get the gist. I think it'd be beneficial for the US to allow the best and brightest come into the country.

This is not going to pass anyway, people will complain that it discriminates against Latin America. There are actually lots of educated people there, but they seem to have less interest in migrating to the US compared to the underclass.

By merit he means white

Trump is a racist but I don't see how this policy would leave to mostly white people coming here. If anything it will be Chinese, South Asians, and West Africans.

Not too many Western Euros seem to be interested in permanently moving to the US. Quality of life is pretty high in a large chunk of Eastern Europe too, at least Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and the Baltic states.
