And every one of them would have been welcome to immigrate before the 1965 immigration law. That wouldn't be true many past winners but it's still important to point out that nobel prize winners aren't exactly evenly distributed among the source populations of immigrants.
I find it laughable that all immigrants are bundled under the banner of "immigrant". Apparently the category of "race" or even "ethnicity" should not be used but the category of "immigrant" despite origin is something that is of great value despite being far more general.
- whack 10y agoAre you suggesting that the immigration system should specifically make it easier for Europeans to immigrate, but not Mexicans/Middle-Easterners? Please sketch out some specific policy prescriptions.
- hugh4life 10y agoImmigration should be mostly skills based and there is no reason to use race or ethnicity for determining who immigrates. What I am suggesting is that this collective romanticism about immigrants is absurd. This was posted it the "latino" section of thehill to make an ideological point yet none of these people are of latin american origin.
