For the past four decades the US has suffered from a dumbing down of the citizens. Are you aware that the average IQ of Americans has dropped more than 3 points? Sound insignificant to you? Let me put this in terms you can see why this is important... In 1965 the average American IQ was 91.64 and now it is 88.54.... that is a drop of about .30 per every 10 years. It seems that population growth plays a big part in this drop, and the dumber the people are who are imported, the faster that number will drop. Intelligence is not just a matter of educational opportunities but is genetic. I am not saying that diet along with education does not play a role, I am saying that genetics play a much larger role. I suggest you take a hard look at the dysgenic fertility theory. No, it is not a biased against muslim (with an national IQ average of 82), hispanics (average IQ of 89.2) and Africans (average national IQ of 77).
What are the consequence of lower I. Q rates? Well one major one is a lack of motivation to further education so higher drop out rates begin to surface. With these higher dropout rates, the dropouts turn to other ways of attain income. These methods often involve illegal activity such as, robbery and prostitution. Other consequences of lower I. Q are a steep rise in illegitimate births and lower rates of marriages. With a lager amount of low I.Q mothers their children may not develop proper social or motor skills, and their behavior will begin to become rash and violent starting around age four. These fact combine for lower employment rate, increase in welfare, increase in crime; in short these people become a excessive burden and lowers the standards that would ordinarily be expected.
So it is un-American to limit those who are not successful or accomplished while invite those with higher potential for success into the US? I don't think so, I think it is only natural to want a successful gene pool and stop the decline of our national IQ before we become incapable of reaching for the stars and beyond.
