| I mean I wouldn't bet money against it but I wouldn't say so, there are a lot of racists that like to use IQ as proof of superiority while ignoring the many factors that effect IQ scores. Though these people do have a lower average IQ, coming from poorer countries, and the ones migrating are probably not that well off which would also lower the average IQ even further |

So let's keep them living on the streets. No housing is a lose/lose situation, for both the people who come here and have nowhere to sleep and for the natives who live in the places where their streets fill up with homeless people. Then again, even giving them housing is a lose/lose situation, since they get placed in low quality living standards and make it more difficult for not so well off natives to find cheap places to live. (Your 'study' links to a Google search and the top result requires a payment to even download the document, but considering your other news sources are far left, I'll just assume bias), let's analyse the situation in an area that gets flooded with people, viewing both possibilities: Immigrants find jobs: This means they actively compete on the job market, making it harder for natives to get jobs. Immigrants don't find jobs: This means they will depend on welfare checks just to get by, draining tax payers' money. Employers discriminate against immigrants: Making it difficult for immigrants to actually get jobs and thus driving up joblessness, while retaining their business' quality standards. Employers are forced to hire immigrants: Makes it harder for natives to get jobs. Businesses have to deal with people who don't speak the language fluently and have lower skill sets, and thus lowering quality standards. But immigrants are super smart and skilled and good people: Okay, so what are they doing in a place that's already got their shit together (or at least used to before it got flooded by people). Why do they abandon their home country that could use their skills and intelligence far better than we do, to improve it and make it a place worth living in. But immigrants are low IQ and lack the skill sets to function properly: So they come here just to leech off the system. hazarddex said: @Milennin Using a hypothesis as a fact doesnt make it a fact.

But even if you don't want to acknowledge those, one only needs to look at the state of the world. No actual studies or science required. Germany was cratered twice in the last 100 or so years, absolutely decimated by 2 world wars back to back, yet they rebuilt their shit and made themselves into a first world country over the course of a decade or 2.

But I guess that's all just down to luck and a healthy dose of racism, because feelings > reality? |
| Migrants tend to be of greater than average intelligence, seeking out new places and new situations is what intelligent (and hence adaptable) people are more likely to do, less intelligent people are more likely to try to stick with what they know and are comfortable with, even if it means dying. "IQ" does not measure intelligence, partly because it's unmeasurable, but also because racial and cultural bias are unavoidable, and the idea has mostly been driven by racists. In particular, anyone talking about different races having different IQs is either a racist, or has been confused or lied to by racists. |

But I guess that's all just down to luck and a healthy dose of racism, because feelings > reality? that small statement i highlighted really shows how far from reality you actually are. the actual studies were not using any actual population average or a methodology that can be used to actually determine intelligence. a person can be bad at math but good at music or philosophy. a person can be good at math but bad at chemistry you can be bad at geometry but good at calculus. a person can know all the facts, but can't apply them to anything, etc. intelligence doesn't have an all defining factor it is still a branch of science that has yet to be fully solved. so no your using an inconclusive hypothesis. also Germany was created "twice" your conveniently leaving out the parts where a bunch of other countries were involved with the rebuilding it. so i don't know where you got the made themselves part. also you could look at geographic locations and natural resource's located in areas. Why do they abandon their home country that could use their skills and intelligence far better than we do you seem to be under a misconception. moving out of a place that is hard to live in is actually a smart thing. being smart doesn't mean you do what is hard or what you might view as the right thing. if you lived in a place unsuited to crops and with few wild life and dry weather daily making it near impossible to live there you would move. even if you have the knowledge doesn't mean the materials or tools are available for you. also just because it's there home country doesn't necessarily mean they like it there. also luck is a part of reality. unless your saying people get to deiced where or whom they are born? the idea of that is laughable in fact  I suggest you look into Chaos theory before dismissing it. Seems like in the end your the one whose using there feelings over reality if you have to rely on such a flawed hypothesis to support yourself. @logopolis please use the edit button instead of double posting. |

But I guess that's all just down to luck and a healthy dose of racism, because feelings > reality? To migrate legally you have to already have a job. If you are an undocumented worker you can't collect welfare checks because they are not legal citizens. Western Europe was able to recover from WWII because the united states government gave them 12 billion dollars in funding. Africa is suffering because of centuries of exploitation. That region of the world wasn't just conquered but mutilated. Rival factions were mixed into the same boarders and such. Despite all of this the continent is recovering slowly but surely. The study I linked you was peer reviewed. Are you anti academia? You have to tell me why this NYT article was biased specifically. The NYT is owned by capitalists. Why would they invite immigrants in if they were a drain on the countries resources. |

And you lied to ALEX in the process by mixing the context of such benefits; for shame.Illegals can get WIC. Illegals can get welfare by proxy of any kids they have while here in the US. Illegals can also get foodstamps and welfare if the state workers are not checking and in New York they are not checking for legal status. I don't know if you paid any attention to the democrat primary debates or even watched news clips of the debates but all of them believe illegals should get free healthcare coverage. Some states also offer benefits for illegals So to say illegals aren't getting any welfare and other tax payer aid or that no party is offering free shit to illegals is a lie. Nothing I said was a lie. Illegals can get befits.WIC makes no distinction between legal and illlegal. IF illegals are getting foodstamps and welfare by proxy of the one or two kids they have here them the parents and their kids who are illegal are also benefiting. Do you think that the only one eating the food bough with foodstamps is the child that was born here while that child's parents and siblings are not eating any of it? Many states don't verify the legal status of those applying for welfare and foodstamps because they believe its not their job description to verify legal status as the elected official in the link pointed out. The only lie being told is the one by those claiming illegals can't get benefits. |

ezikialrage said: Sure, WIC and 'food stamps' are not the same--- one happens in a grocery store (the latter) while the other is dried goods (powder milk) and canned goods supplied by private contributions to the USDA happening in churches/shelters. WIC entitlements are towards children, and if you think giving donated food to children for a max of 3 years is bad--I think you just want people to suffer just cause you personally believe people should suffer--regardless of life playing a role. Like the asshole politicians that won't let restaurants or grocers give almost expired food to the homeless cause they're homeless.Silverstorm said: So you're mad that the government wants to ensure US citizens (the children of those immigrants) get a minimum standard of nutrition, and provide immunization to all children in America (unless medically excluded) to further protect citizens--twisted logic my man.

Trumps approval rating has only risen and the Democrats keep on impressing me with how much of an buffooning idiots they are and the only more sane ones (Like Andrew Yang) don't get attention. Even Obama warned us about the circular firing squad and even got attacked by the dems which is a stupid move because he was one of the most loved presidents of all time..... And their buffoonery will only help trump win again. Meanwhile Trump keeps on being an asshole (who is right at times). 2016 was a pick your poison and so will 2020 be. |

I wish we had a merit based system and much better system of processing people out who attempt to cross the border illegally. Trumps zero tolerance policy is good, but it's obviously not effective enough. |

Many of these people are economic refugees not "Asylum" seekers. I love how people specifically ignore that.When you consider what an absolute shithole the US is, why do people continue to run there to immigrate. Do they like being oppressed? |
