I don't get the fallacy. If you believe that there are positive externalities from living in a country with people who are better on whatever scale you choose to measure them, then migration benefits a (relatively) small number of migrants and hurts everyone else, both in their country of origin and destination.
Whether this should prevail over freedom of individuals is another matter.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoExternalities is a separate argument, and requires doing more than simply looking at average qualities. If you want to make that argument you need to start by drawing the line between people who are positive and people who are negative. This is a more compelling argument, but it's not the one I described.
