Good Immigration Policy as a Replacement for Eugenics

Many of these immigrants are poor, and victims of drugs, guns and gangs, dictators and death squads, climate destruction, etc. But it is well to remember that their ethnic difference from most USA Americans is minor; indigenous (14,000-year ancestry Americans) plus European (Spanish and Portuguese rather than northern and eastern, but originally those were mostly all the same people).

Genetics is entirely over-rated. People are pretty much the same. Culture and economy is another matter, and the degree of exploitive history. In the past, the USA has attracted adventurous people who wanted a fresh start, and they have tended to be restless dreamers and poor people from countries with dictators and famine. Sort of like today, but northern and eastern European and later Asian instead of Latin America like today. In CA and WA, lots of Asians have come again, and some have settled in Texas too.

We used to accept refugees from tyranny, but we are not doing that today. Biden kept the border closed, and now the Court is keeping it closed. But Republicans still lie and complain. That's all they can f**king do.

Just because race doesn't matter doesn't mean genetics don't matter. If you want to look up something scary, there are several studies of men growing up to commit similarly heinous crimes as their criminal fathers....even though they were adopted at birth. Liberals don't want to hear this (including, to a lesser extent, myself), but....some people are just bad apples and even in the most supportive environment, society just doesn't have a place for them. The Anatomy of Violence by Adrian Raine has many chilling examples.
