      From 1850-1913, Norwegians were the 2nd least positively selected of all immigrants. Their wages were lower than you'd expect & they didn't economically assimilate by 2nd generation. Only Portuguese immigrants did worse. http://www.nber.org/papers/w18011 pic.twitter.com/Lo0PPLE7kQ

      Norwegian immigrants did so poorly in the United States that about 70 percent of them returned & stayed in Norway. Return rates are not always a sign of failure but their low wages, despite observable characteristics, and poor 2nd generation assimilation indicate otherwise here.

      I have nothing against Norwegians or Norway but this shows that the "loser immigrants" from yesterday's "shit holes" tend to turn into excellent, rich Americans after a few generations while their countries improve substantially.

          In the first five years after entry, the Norwegian-Native wage gap was the greatest. After 30+ years here it improved from the last to the . . . second from the last.pic.twitter.com/Bqj7pmDz54

          So, how many people today would say that the United States is worse off because we let in a bunch of *initially* underperforming immigrants from a "shit hole" called Norway? I think the answer to that is about zero.

          Norway is an awesome nation and I have several Norwegian friends. I take your comments as showing how an immigrant group and their nation of origin improve over time. Interesting points.
