More interesting would be the total number of mussies

My paternal ancestor joined Washington’s army age 14. Their plantation was location where the Culpeper Minutemen formed.

[upchuck]

Trump is correct we should return to the pre-1965 system

BUMP!

[WVNan]

.obama’s hand is clearly seen in that list. He was scrambling to import as many African Muslims as possible before he had to step down.

[jch10]

What if we don’t want diversity?

[goodnesswins]

Interesting and great!

[Myrddin]

Can we get a spreadsheet with the average IQ of each country in addition to the number imported? Without running the numbers, I think we're importing a lot of the low end of the scale. That's a crappy policy. Merit based immigration considered on a case by case basis yields a better result.

[trebb]

Trump is correct we should return to the pre-1965 system

Yep - Merit Based is the way to go - all the Dems will fight tooth and nail because they know that means almost zero Dem voters in the mix.....
