She said that we need more immigrants
to boost the economy & bring down the
literacy rate; do u want to prosper or be
                                     stupid? I said that;
|☉
                         I ask in all earnestness      
            what can people contribute
           to American society who have no
comprehension or any          interest
  in      American literature or history?
Let's say u & I were really sharp intellects    & we got into a heated debate over New England Puritans'   relations w/ & attitudes          towards black freeman like Crispus Attucks; somehow, I'm not seeing       an immigrant jumping       in there w/ any cogent insight;
the new immigrants seem to be bringing divisiveness in them;
how can we argue down the principles     & practices of white
racialism when the opposite side is wave of confused, traumatized
individuals whose lives mean nothing to the average world citizen
take up
     more & more space &
                                              contribute nothing (           ) to general cultural
                   literacy;  [to all appearances the screaming, acting out autistic
  spectrum toddler has more common sense & general knowledge than its parents
☉|
that is a whole 'nother level of stupid;
it's quantum stupid;
the border is not (       ) being invaded  
by magic realists but
it's magical thinking

to think these people aren't   the dregs of their society
   attempting to make America just as rotten & corrupt;
