      Trump's comment was also moronic from a purely empirical standpoint https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-10-13/it-isn-t-just-asian-immigrants-who-excel-in-the-u-s- …pic.twitter.com/PkYElzAbqE

      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.

          Sure they do, Boss. They usurp AA benefits intended for #DescendentsofSlaves native USA Blacks and then institutions get to feel good at raising their Black enrollment %, at the expense of native Blacks who really need it.

          As you note with the first comment that 43% have a BA or higher, these immigrants come in with 2 parents+degrees + carry no vestiges of past discrimination or yoked by lingering effects chattel slavery, but when it's time to apply to Harvard, dey Black. We all Black right?

          Some African immigrants- depends on which country you’re talking about. Some are better educated than others.

          Actually, the point of denigrating those countries is to disown centuries of predation on the very same. Pretty efficient.

          Not just Africans and not just the educated. Without our neighbors coming to work at the thinning, care, and harvest, our immense agricultural tree fruit and most & vegetable crops production would collapse. They can't mechanize all of it like they can the wheat harvest.

          I posted this very point on Facebook this morning. He is denigrating his own merit based immigration argument, going against individualism.

          False. Social situations don't correspond to personal abilities. Problem with shitholes, you can't send illegals back to them

          I don't recall many or any Dems condemning Trump when he threatened to exterminate millions of Koreans at the US.

          Whatever happened to the concept of immigration as generosity and humanitarianism. Once again Trump lifts the veil to expose the naked self interest of the American system. THIS is the purpose many of us hoped his election would serve!

          Why not stay at home & make a positive contribution to their shithole country? Perhaps their intellect could change their country...🤔
