What the actual fuck?

    There are only a few counties in the world that draw the smartest and most accomplished from the rest of the world. The USA is pretty high on that list. This gives the USA an unfair advantage worldwide in several ways:

    US schools and businesses get to pick from the best and brightest worldwide, promoting an atmosphere of high performance STEM jobs.

    US replaces lost high education and high IQ population, since there is a negative correlation between education level and reproduction.

    Finally, if you think in terms of winners vs losers, which I feel MAGAs do these days, other countries lose their best and brightest, making them less competitive to the USA.

    And of course don’t forget that the vast majority of Americans come from families that immigrated, and few would argue that they themselves should be sent back “to where they came from”.

    No matter how you look at it, immigration is extremely advantageous to the USA if handled properly and an enviable position that many other countries wish they could be in.
