This country doesn’t exist to accept the best. Its for the weakest people, whether Haitians or Bum Irish immigrants like our family, to thrive and do well against all odds. America isn’t for the college educated. Its for the downtrodden of countries that cant even speak the language. Its the city on a hill.
Oh fooey, how long will it keep on being that, arrant lefty, if overrun?
It’s for those who want to be Americans, not just for those who come to live off of the bennies.
Get rid of welfare, then I say let anybody in, because they’ll come knowing they’ll have to work hard to make it. Until then, we need to vet who gets in.
This a question of philosophy. I agree, philosophically. However, if you’re just looking at data, educated immigrants are an economic gain, while uneducated ones are an economic loss.
However, change the algorithm. If there were less public expenditure, the values would change. Different labor laws, values change. Data are just a snapshot, not a prophecy.
It’s for the people we decide to accept.
Offhand, I would expect your level of intelligence would have you excluded if our immigration policies were based on what’s best for America.
You’re damn lucky you’re already here.
If a country imports people who are incapable of freedom...or even civilization...then that country will become like those people.
Haiti is not an open sewer because of the land, air, water or natural disadvantages. It is an open sewer because of the people that inhabit Haiti, and empower their government. They are people that will not improve this country or advance it in any way. They are a people who will drag it down to what they know and are comfortable with...just like Somalians and those that have inhabited other similar open sewers. A country is determined by its people. So yes, the odds that someone from Norway will become an asset for this country than someone from Haiti or Somalia.
