There entire Islamic world has less wealth than Japan:
Egypt has over 100 million people. What perplexes me is… what do they all do? They can’t all give tours of the pyramids, or weave bedsheets. I truly don’t get how a couple of free pita breads a day yields that many people. What is their economy based on? How do they keep going?

The way that this got started was because there was a chart that showed each race, and what percent of degrees go to men and women. The black race had the highest percentage of degrees going to women, so someone said black women biggest number = black women most educated.

-Miami race riots
-Tawana Brawley rape hoax

They’re dumb, they’re poor, they’re unappealing to others. They detract intellectually and morally. It’s not like there’s some tradeoff.

I think there is similar reasoning for why immigration can not solve the aging population crisis:
-Immigrants that are net contributors have low birth rates and make the problem worse
-Immigrants that have high birth rates don't make enough money to be net contributors
The fundamental problem for immigration activists:
- High skill immigration deprives origin countries of their human capital, which they need more than we do
- Low skill immigration is bad for our countries
