I didn't say intellegence had anything to do with race. Did you say that?
I don't think we should give preference to those fleeing despotic governments; people from all countries (except from those which may be prohibited) should have equal chance for immigration, within legal limits, provided they come here to work and assimilate.
Persecuted Christians and Jews should be entitled to preferential immigration.
Rather than offer special privledges to those from despotic governments, we should just overthrow the governments and save the immigration rush. It would be a lot cheaper and give our military some practice.

Just as an aside, it never takes long on a thread like this dealing with illegal immigration for someone to bring up the subject of race and imply---or state outright---that those concerned with illegal immigration simply find immigrants' skin color objectionable, are disguised racists, "believe there are racial differences in intelligence," etc. They expect, and too often get, a "conditioned response." Good way to keep the lid on the immigration debate, such as it is.

Let me put it like this: during the time it takes to recognize a problem and overthrow it, something needs to be done with the people coming here. Sending them back in the face of a planned attack on the country they're coming from would be kind of stupid, would it not?
