[Cronos]

If we cannot survive of our own, then there is something seriously wrong.

No, you are wrong. Every successful civilisation has imported great men and women from other nations -- the Roman Emperors TRajan and Hadrian were both of Spanish descent, and later Emperors came from North Africa, Britain, etc. TRajan's ancestors may well have been those celtIberian tribes who fought AGAINST the Romans in the Second Punic war.

Our kids are pampered because they live in plenty, they are brainwashed to think that dumb is good and that they should not work hard, but expect jobs to fall in their laps (not all of them, but most, can't really blame them if you allow them to watch the brainwashing rubbish on the lib media). So importing talent is good.

Importing German and European Jews before and during WWII improved our scientific endeavours to no end. importing German talent like von Braun proppelled our quest to the moon. Importing Indian and Chinese talent helped in the founding of numerous silicon valley companies and pushs many r&D labs. Importing the Italians and Eastern Europeans during the 1800s boosted us from a second rate to a first rate power.

And where is Ancient Rome today?

As I said, there is something seriously wrong with a culture if it produces people who can't wipe their own behinds.

And you don't fix something by destroying it.

And speak for your own kids.

Trajan and Hadrian were not Spanish. They were Italian provincial Romans who grew up in Spain, however your overall argument is sound and I agree with your premise that America has prospered by importing talent and skilled labor for abroad.
