Current Events > Trump attacks protections for immigrants from "shithole countries"

(+) Yeah! (+)

People are actually attempting to use IQ as a measure of intelligence and to that end, are suggesting that the United States would have a "high" IQ on average.

Like, how do some of these posters in here even tie their own shoes? Do they even go outside?

Get lost with this "IQ" nonsense. You're not fooling anyone

Lmao if you believe this. For your three articles, you can find 300 more showing you otherwise. Africa is not considered a beacon of intelligence

Haiti, whether it's politically correct or not, doesn't produce upstanding citizens who want to assimilate into the US.

Uh huh I'm the dishonest one >_>

Not claiming it's an end all be all. But it is a fair barometer. There isn't any benefits of a country having a below average IQ

You are. Because that still doesn't say bad. Your sensitivity on the matter is making you jump the gun and assume things

The vast majority of Americans are descended from people from shithole countries. Either countries that are still shitholes or countries that were shitholes at the time. Asking why people from shitholes countries want to come here is a stupid question. Of course, they want to come here. The countries they are from are shit!

The African foreign-born had a higher level of educational attainment than the total of those born overseas. The report said that 41% percent of the African-born had a bachelors degree or higher in 2008-12, compared with 28% of the overall number.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/03/black_immigrants_an_invisible.html

In a side-by-side comparison of 2000 census data by sociologist John R. Logan at the Mumford Center, State University of New York at Albany, black immigrants from Africa average the highest educational attainment of any population group in the country, including whites and Asians.

For example, 43.8 percent of African immigrants had achieved a college degree, compared to 42.5 of Asian Americans, 28.9 percent for immigrants from Europe, Russia and Canada, and 23.1 percent of the U.S. population as a whole.

Black people, by far, commit homicide at a much higher rate than anyone in the US. That is a fact. However, if you mention that, you are now a racist

He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway

Norway is a paradise compared to the US. Why would Norwegians lower their livings standards by moving?

Idk why he doesn't just come out and say it; he only wants white people to immigrate to the U.S.

They wouldn't be fleeing those countries by the millions if they weren't shitholes.

Notice how the language on illegal aliens keeps changing and getting more romanticized? It went from illegal aliens, to illegals, to undocumented worker, undocumented immigrant and now just to immigrant. People are trying to get you to become more and more accepting of people who break the law. I'd say we keep it as illegal alien since that's the term the IRS uses.

"White nationalist"

We've literally been having the "immigrants are ruining this country" debate since before there was even a country.

Isn't 400 years of stupid enough?

Hmm if only we could figure out why people from shithole countries are more likely to immigrate.

Hmm indeed.

But they immigrated to an arguably shittier country, and made it amazing.

"Only move if you have no reason to move!"

Does that apply within countries too though? I always hear about how people in America should move if they don't like their city or state. Aren't they just quitters? Also, doesn't this mean we shouldn't tell people who complain about America to get out?

Let he who is without shit cast the first stone

On Thursday, Alston visited communities in the Black Belt's Butler and Lowndes counties, where residents often fall ill with ailments like E. Coli and hookworm - a disease of extreme poverty long eradicated in most parts of the U.S. - in part because they do not have consistently reliable access to clean drinking water that has not been tainted by raw sewage and other contaminants.

Aaron Thigpen, an activist who has lived in Fort Deposit for all of his 29 years, showed Alston around a Lowndes County property where five members of his extended family, including two minor children and an 18-year-old with Down syndrome, live in a modest home.

Their house, like those of many of their neighbors, discharges its raw sewage via long, aging "straight pipes" that release the effluent aboveground, where it sits in fetid open-air pools.

Their sewage runs into sparsely wooded areas or across grassy fields when it rains, spreading the waste and the pathogens it contains, generating toxic conditions, repulsive visuals and an overwhelming stench.

"These two pipes are the raw sewage pipes coming from the house. And you've got your main water line here, and it may have a hole in it, so everyone gets sick all at once," Thigpen said, pointing to exposed pipes running over a dank swamp of raw sewage.

"It's really bad when you've got a lot of kids around like there are here. They're playing ball and the ball goes into the raw sewage, and they don't know the importance of not handling sewage," he explained earlier in Butler County, where he showed Alston a rudimentary, manmade system of open-air ditches that carry effluent from homes to a nearby creek.

Speaking with a Butler County resident whose failing septic tank releases raw sewage that bubbles up into his backyard, Alston said that the unwillingness of state and local governments to help people with no access to basic services like sewage management represents a dereliction of duty.

A few weeks later, a sewage pipe spewed waste onto a heavily trafficked concoursean honest-to-God shitstorm. Im like, Literally, its raining in Penn Station, recalls Marigo Mihalos, a booking agent from New Jersey who witnessed the fecal deluge on her way to work.

Unless, you know, you feel like being racist.

Yes I can, lol, stop being sensitive about it. Whites are of European descent. Blacks are of African.
