Worst Thing About Open Boarders Is Brain Drain From Shithole Countries

That no one ever makes this point is surprising to me.

America is enabling people to flee failing cultures instead of forcing them to fix them, which in the long term will lead to further destabilization both North and South of the border.

I made the point several times and received pages of vitriolic bile from the likes of Monty and Subaru Flounder for challenging their white man's burden bullshit.

I've also mentioned it several times. Consider a country that barely gets by: it scrapes enough up to teach its best & brightest medicine and engineering, then first thing, those HUGE investments emigrate. Like clockwork. Self-interested Capitalism's obvious downside that Libertarians ignore.

Hey, if it raises the average IQ of America I'm all for it.

You'd trade a less stable Central America for a 5-10% increase in IQ?

Consider Venezuela, I know someone with a doctorate in agriculture and who has a wife that is a trained nurse who have left their homeland for good due to the instability there.

They are even from the ruling class and are not willing to go back.

How many PHDs in agriculture you reckon that country has?

How much more difficult will it be fixing that nation when anyone with talent is looking for the first train north?

It doesn't raise our average IQ.

Our average IQ is plummeting due to mass migration from Latin America and Africa.

The average IQ in subsaharan Africa is in the upper 60s. We have no benefit from immigration from there, and we condemn the region to dysfunction and stagnation in the process.

I always make this point :? Southpark makes this point....Even an Obama policy wonk/cronny made this point....

It's a good point....but goes against the GOP and DNC's agenda of bringing cheap labor/votes.
