What is your actual proposed, data driven vetting system? Feel free to re-read any of my previous posts this morning / last night as examples of questions trying to drill into what the system looks like. A Hungarian wants to become an American …what actually happens next?

That’s not my whole point, or even part of my point. I’m simply trying to determine what the system actually looks like for those who say we should have a data driven country of origin screening process for immigration. What data, how is it collected, how is it applied, what are the standards...

Yes I agree we could get better IQ data from Sweden than Iran. But we also have plenty of Swedes and Iranians living in the US that could potentially provide the data as well. Is your suggestion that other countries, not us, administer and report on the IQ of their populations? Or should we do...

Mixed up Khanna with Lauren Boebert, perhaps?

In one sentence he suggests, yet again, that we replace the income tax with tariff revenues. And then in the next breath he talks about bringing jobs and factories back to the United States. I’m told Trump has a “plan,” but yet again, no one in MAGA, least of all Trump, is willing to...

This could actually be great. Maybe the team in power gets to decide who sits where, and the chart is revealed at the top of the show.

Fine, put IQ in the mix. All of my previously asked questions apply to IQ as well - who administers the tests? Who takes them? People already in America on behalf of people in their origin countries? People in their origin countries? A mix of the two? What about people of multiple ethnicities...

Wait so is Massie not running, because that would be a shame

Massie vs Polis would be great. I’d absolutely vote for Massie, that wouldn’t be a pickle. Ideally Vance will have the unpopularity of the current administration weigh him down and drag him out of the race.

They’re not that uncommon. Why would you want to exclude one who wanted to come here if you could verify he’s a surgeon, “edge case” or not? You’d rather deny entry just to satisfy the blanket ban that you yourself were against only a few years ago? For what exactly…to virtue signal?

Would love an opportunity to vote for Massie for President in 2028. Hope this is true.

I'll concede my desired merit based system isn't easy, and certainly isn't foolproof, but I feel like we're all yadda yadding the ease of this country of origin, thumbs up / thumbs down system. We're going to use data. OK. What data? Thethe says we have plenty of "relevant data." I'm...

Ask yourself. You thought it was possible only a few years ago, to the point where you were willing to mock others who disagreed with you.

Yet now he doesn’t want one now, for reasons that remain unclear

I think a logical first question would be - do we have information to determine who is a cannibal and who is not a cannibal? In that case, consider the individuals on their own merit. There would be no reason to punish the non-cannibal for the behavior of others. If we don’t have the...

I’m having a hard time envisioning an island of cannibals being able to fill out the necessary forms to even begin the vetting process. But if there was a way to determine which ones were functioning humans, I’d consider it an imperative to get them out.

2021 thethe might not have been too fond of Muslims, or whoever else, but evidently believed a merit based immigration process that treated people as individuals was not only possible, but obviously correct. Not sure what changed.

What would 2021 thethe say?

So be it. At least it would be a meritocracy. If a school bases admission on SAT scores and ends up with no people of a particular race because no one makes the grade, that’s not racist. If a school decides it’s going to outright ban people of a certain race without even looking at their SAT...
