ElM, not only do immigrants increase the national IQ, but the national IQ is increasing anyway, as proven by the Flynn Effect.

Add the whole world together and it's not hard to figure out that 6 billion people with an average IQ 15 points higher than when there were 1 billion with an average of 100, with ill health and short life expectancy to go along with their other problems, it's not hard to see that things are getting better super fast. Super duper fast, not just linearly fast.

I don't giveaGoddamn if they are all Einsteins. The US is overpopulated already ! The truth is, and everybody knows it ,is that the immigration to the US is a relief valve for countries that cannot feed their growing populations.

In LA we have chronic water shortages,traffic problems and all sorts of pollution problems all with their basic roots in too many people..
