Immigration and Science

So Donald Trump is awarding National Medals of Science/Technology to six people, five of whom are immigrants:

Elon Musk: South Africa

Sergey Brin: Russia

Jensen Huang: Taiwan

Lisa Su: Taiwan

Satya Nadella: India

Immigration is the main reason this remains the world's most dynamic nation, and limiting it the worst thing we could do to our future.

Bringing in talented immigrants is not the same as allowing mile long caravans of whoever shows up in. Not the same thing at all.

The flip side of the coin is: gee how do we have Somali gangs shooting people in the Midwest?

Probably the same way we had other young ethnic street gangs (Italian, Irish, Jewish, Chinese, etc) engaging in turf feuds. And it's not exactly "the Midwest", it's the Minneapolis-St. Paul suburbs.

It's ok people are getting shot because people have been shot in the past.

Who cares about racism? We've had racism in the past.

People are worried about WW3 breaking out. I say who gives a shit, we had two world wars before and we lived.
