Wish I could upvoat this more than once, I seem to be one of the few left who cares about the USA and isn't just thinking we sell the USA to the highest bidders. The USA actively acts against its best interests. I think in 100 years unless huge changes are made the USA is only remembered for the moon landings. That may well be peak America.
This gives me so much hope!!
A mix of Asian and European faces. More European looking faces than I expected, Jewish and "gentile." Great mix of Asian faces: Chinese, Indian, Chinese.
Why is it absolute taboo to make immigration decisions out of raw self-interest?
Leave the almost unlimited immigration from Asia, Australia and Western + Scandinavian Europe in place, if they have money already and come from these places, no limit on immigration.
South and Central America, Africa, Islamic Countries, limit immigration of most people very strictly, exceptions for those with an intellectually recognized graduate degree, and a minimum $500,000 in cash.
I realize I just poked the "sacred cow." However the more I read peer reviewed genetic studies the more genetics are proven deterministic and the more genetic variation is found to have happened in the last 4,000 years.
Some examples your genes are 50% to 70% of determining if a child will become an addict, it is not just a "choice."
Genes are the #1 factor in predicting how long a child will live. Not lifestyle, smoking, diet, etc.
Objective studies show ethnic groups have vast differences that stay there when adjusted for socioeconomic status in IQ test, SAT, GMAT, MCAT, GRE tests and academic achievement.
So the new excuse is "white privilege" - everything was set up to favor whites from the beginning. Well white people did a terrible job at creating their system - Indians, Chinese, Jews all beat the pants off whites in the "white privilege system."
I even was linked a serious article that stated that logic and the scientific method are tools that were invented for white privilege and should be abandoned (!!!!)
Why can't the USA openly say we will take the immigrants who are on average are most likely to be the contributors to the USA?
These are averages - there always outliers on bell curves - but when dealing large numbers of people we need to work with averages - There are thousands that beat the averages though.
Why does Europe and the USA have the unique responsibility to accept and care for the entire third world illiterate, and change our society to make them the priority?
Why can we not make immigration policies that bring, the brightest, most creative, most entrepreneurial, most rich, most educated into the USA? While also saying to the mobs of poor illiterates who have more babies than they can afford - go away?
Unless immigration patterns into the USA are changed the USA will lose its world power status to China.
Why does the USA act against its own interest based on bullshit Utopian fantasy?
One can only dream this photo shows the future of the US population.
