    Governments will want more people to tax. Corporations will want lower labor costs. Retirees will want more people to pay into our Social Security ponzi scheme. Screw the kids, they are spoiled. Tell them they are racists from birth.

    And the problem is they didn't even accomplish anything or add anything to the country. Oh ok sure that African spiderman saved that boy from that balcony from that high-rise building but still that's just one case.

    Would be the same thing if robotics is built and the productivity is increased to generate higher revenues. That would increase the tax base of the government just the same if not even more. The issue is productivity; that's the whole purpose of having more people which is to put them to work but if you can have something that robotics that works better with higher productivity, why do we need people?

    "Wants" can be cultivated. If the government tomorrow puts in grants for all who studies math and science and scholarship and I mean huge scholarships like that for sports for Math and Science whiz and guaranteed job after graduation and at the same time promote more positive images in public media about people who excel in math and science instead of always depicting them as annoying nerds, people will want to study Math and Science. It's all in the matter of perception.

    And besides what's the point of teaching these foreign studies all the knowledge of science when they are just going to turn around and go back to their own countries to build their own countries?

  5. Many would like to stay and build a life here.

    Yeah they ALL say that. Nobody goes to another country and says "I don't want to be here!!" LOL The question is: What kind of life? Life according to them or life according to what this country?? That's first. Second, what can they bring to this country?

    And also at the same time, WHY can't we just be happy with the people who are already here who want to stay and build a life here? Plenty of countries are doing really well without getting more people to their own countries.

  7. What value do you add to this country? This kind of stupid is exactly why we need immigrants. :rolleyes:

    EXACTLY!! Don't need more people who don't add any value to this country. I am a descendent of immigrants. Look at me, I add no value to my country. LOL

  9. So let's ship you off to another country and replace you with a foreign student who has more potential (we can give them your house too to solve housing). Great idea--let's make immigration work both ways.

    Nonsense. The overwhelming majority (80% of legal immigrants and 98%+ of illegals) are from regions with significantly lower development levels and average IQs. Even if they weren't, the USA was already the world's preeminent economic and technological power prior to the recent flood - we were doing just fine without them. On the other hand, the huge costs of overpopulation, diversity, and endless social & political discord are permanent and will only worsen.
