The point of denigrating entire countries as “shitholes” is to denigrate the notion that people from those countries could make positive contributions to US society. Educationally, African immigrants have demonstrated a greater-than-average propensity to make such contributions.

The point of describing an entire country as a shithole is to denigrate the contributions that people from those countries could potentially make once in the US. Obviously they African immigrants have demonstrated a propensity for educational achievement.

Calling Trump's obviously true comment that countries like El Salvador Haiti are not nice places "moronic" is just virtue signaling. Noah Smith has an axe to grind.https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/07/29/537945957/you-probably-dont-want-to-know-about-haitis-sewage-problems …

There is nothing useful to achieve by denigrations. He has the axe of statistics to tell a story to dispel myths. People can succeed when conditions to succeed are present. Trump’s point was to transfer qualities - true or not- of regions, states - onto people.

Why educate your own people and try and help them when someone from somalia can bring a degree from"Not a real place of learning" and get a scholarship for free instead.

The problem is that many people get to go to college on their countries but the opportunities are so scarce that there are no jobs. My peers graduated from medical school in El Salvador and they can’t find jobs. That’s sad and I don’t blame them for wanting to leave

But that's not good for Americans. Don't get me wrong, I dislike western europeans coming here even more. As long as our gov can rely on immigrants for brain power they will never TRULLY invest in education here and that hurts POCs the most.
