That is true. But the person who broughthif family over, how did he get here? Because he is skilled and already at the top of his field! So, a skilled person bringing over his family or an American whi brings over his foreign wife is already at the top of society.
I myself looked at immigration (chiefly yo USA, Ireland and Britain) - almost impossible for me to do if I didn't have an advanced degree.

You are willing to believe an unfounded assertian of the nlog post, yet evidence of countries with more liberal policies you ignore?
I stated the example of South Africa with an open border. In many Nordic countries with a liberal immigration policy, crime by immigrants is much higher (finland, sweden, etc...).

Yet the premise of article is that the world is divided into rich white people and poor black/asian people and the reason for that is "International Apartheid".
So according o the article, if a person supports rational immigration policies, he is a racist who supports global apartheid.
Perhaps you did not comphrehend the article or you feel the same - hence no need for white guilt since you support open borders.
> if you are going to argue...
I am not arguing that Apartheid was a fair system (it was not). Yet the world is a lot more nuanced than good/bad black/white.
South Africa is an extremely complex country (11 national languages, four capital cities, traditional leadeship, two Europen populations, massive inequality between black and white, rich black and poor black, inequality between urban and rural, more people on welfare (13 million) than tax payers (<5 million), probably more illegal immigrants than white people, more HIV+ people than tax payers, etc...). An incredibly complex (and interesting) country that you describe in terms of a black white world view.
