Miscellaneous And Off Topic Subjects

Silly racist Republicans, correlating financial means, social adaptability, cultural proximity, health, and skills with race (or actually country of origin). It's almost as if we understand human nature and basic economics.

So, here are our top two immigrant suppliers (China and Mexico), compared with a representative sample of countries of predominantly European ancestry and the United States on a number of metrics that indicate social, physical, political, and financial health:


Infant mortality rate by country:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../2091rank.html

Mexico: 11.6
China: 12.0
Norway: 2.5
Australia: 4.3
United States: 5.8


Health index by country ranking:

http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/health-index

Mexico: #71
China: #91
Norway: #1
Australia: #2
United States: #5


GDP per capita by country:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../2004rank.html

Mexico: $19,900
China: $16,700
Norway: $71,800
Australia: $50,300
United States: $59,500


Education index by country -- ranking

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index

Mexico: #101
China: #106
Norway: #4
Australia: #1
United States: #8

(Fuckin' racists thinking that there is some kind of correlation between country of origin and the ability to contribute to our economy. Why can't Republicans stop being so racist and see that everybody around the world is exactly the same?)


Economic freedom by country -- ranking
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...onomic_freedom

Mexico: #50
China: Off the charts unranked
Norway: #31
Australia: #3
United States: #10



Political freedom by country -- ranking
https://freedomhouse.org/report/free...country-scores

Mexico: #104
China: #186
Norway: #2
Australia: #6
United States: #53


Homicide rate per 100,000 by country
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._homicide_rate

Mexico: 19.26
China: 0.62 (at least you are safe from getting knifed on the street or shot there)
Norway: 0.51
Australia: 0.94
United States: 5.35


Anti-Semitism by country -- the percentage of citizens who harbor anti-Semitic views (per the ADL)
I am including this one because it's topical, and also because DSL is obsessed with anti-Semitism of white Christians and only white Christians

http://global100.adl.org/

Mexico: 24%
China: 20%
Norway: 15%
Australia: 14%
United States: 10%

As a bonus, here is a sampling of some Middle Eastern countries: Jordan 81%, Saudi Arabia 74%, Egypt 75%.

Just to drive this point home -- we Nazis would prefer that we accept immigrants from countries with less anti-Semitic views preferentially over immigrants from countries with more anti-Semitic views. The anti-Nazi freedom loving Liberals of the country want us to flood the country with people who hail from lands that harbor more anti-Semitic views than the United States. I swear it's almost as if they are just pretending to care about anti-Semitism and using it as a weapon to silence critics!

Here are immigration partners 3 through 10:
Cuba, India, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Vietnam, Haiti, El Salvador, Jamaica.

All of the top ten are shitty places to live compared to both the United States and our major pre Hart-Cellar immigration partners. Poorer, less educated, less healthy, and/or less free. Shitty by just about any metric that we consider to be important. The one exception is violent crime, where Asian countries have good numbers. But as you can see our Central American neighbors don't.

So, should this country have skill/means-based immigration or should we have race/nationality-based immigration? Statistically speaking, they are the same thing.

Anyone want to tell me how the federal bureaucracy can decide that children of illegals are automatically US citizens? Based on what court decision? Based on what law passed by Congress? Based on who's direction? The Text of the amendment isn't clear, and court decisions have muddied the water. But SCOTUS decided that children born to citizens of a separate sovereign nation (Indian Tribes) are not US citizens even though the child was born in the country. And that a child of legal US residents IS a US citizen.


So if the federal bureaucracy can decide to classify children born to illegal aliens, based on what, I'm not sure, but why can't the person in charge of that federal bureaucracy not order a change to how the bureaucracy classifies these individuals?


People like Paul Ryan are wrong, he is not trying to amend the constitution unilaterally, it seems that he can instruct the federal departments, of which he is in charge of, to considering children born to parents that are both citizens of a foreign nation, and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the US, not be considered a US citizen. One can say well this falls on Congress, but it wasn't at the direction of Congress that the decision was made to start granting the children of these illegals US citizenship... who made the decision? Who decided? and when? it's been researched and... apparently no one knows.

Follow our conversation from yesterday if you'd like to understand why Trump stripping citizenship away from people born in the US through Executive Order is unlikely to hold up to legal challenge. The text of the 14th Amendment plainly grants citizenship through birth and the only debate is over the meaning of the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Those words have never been challenged at the Supreme Court in the context of illegal aliens because at the time the 14th Amendment was written, there were no federal immigration laws and no such thing as an "illegal alien.

The Supreme Court in 1898 DID rule that if someone is born to foreign citizens who are in the US legally, then that person is a US citizen. It's my understanding that Trump wants to end citizenship for people like that also.

Birthright citizenship isn't a policy. It's enshrined in the Constitution. You might not like that, but there it is.

Just legislate an amendment if you want to get rid of it, get to legislating.

I'm sure crash course has never heard of Gateway Pundit, yet he loves the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. Seems legit.
