Spot on, Lipton. We should also distinguish between illegal and legal immigration. The former is mostly unskilled, while the latter is mostly skilled. Leftists manipulate language to conflate all immigration as the same, but most refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers are illegals taking advantage of the system: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/illegal-immigration-guide-usa-open-borders

Very interesting article. The idea that all immigrants contribute to American society equally is ridiculous. We should absolutely try to get immigrants who are likely to contribute to the nation, while keeping out those who are likely not to.

I don’t doubt that many of the differences you mention are due to culture or genes, but I doubt that we will ever be able to get to an immigration policy based on those characteristics.

I wonder if less controversial criteria based on a certain level of education (like a 4-year degree in a field that pays above average for college grads) or demonstrated employment skills for industries that need to hire can be a reasonable proxy.

This is what I advocate for in my book.
