It is surreal to think that saying something like this, that the American system should primarily benefit the American people, is so controversial.

Outsiders have had 79 years to optimize for American norms and laws; and the preexisting social customs and countermeasures have been (deliberately) buried and made illegal by the Civil Rights Government.

The internet saved us, making it clear just what the costs were, and that we were not crazy for Noticing.

Which is why the Leftists were(and are) moving Heaven and Earth to break it, they didn't spend a century trashing any functioning part of society just to see their enemies rebuild via network effects.

As a high-IQ white hetero male of American birth, I have to say I have never had much of a chance at good jobs or meaningful work. None of my professors in kawlej ever suggested advanced studies. I knew I was not a good fit for academics. I could see where it was headed in the 90s and knew they'd never let me in.

If Musk was all that hot for 'elite human capital,' he'd set up schools. Test entrants on standard IQ. Take anyone 130 or better.

Not illegal immigration. We don’t get the best or the brightest.

I try to explain to people that at the start America needed immigrants to fill the space east of the Mississippi and there was no welfare.

Then we needed people to fill the space west of the Mississippi and there was no welfare.

And we needed people to staff the brand spanking new factories springing up in the east and there was no welfare.

Later we needed skilled and semi-skilled laborers for the explosion in manufacturing in the 20th century and we didn’t have welfare.

Then, as immigration was petering out and wages were at their height, our ‘leaders’ suddenly decided we needed mass immigration of unskilled, uneducated workers to fill no jobs

Very nicely put. Let’s look out for America and Americans. Very selective immigration. Secure border.
