      The funny thing is that this cycle of ego-fueled ignorance is precisely why they need so much immigration. It isn’t a numbers game, it’s about the people with the qualifications, and you have a lot less to choose from when you filter them by your own extreme nationalistic and regressive ideology.

      Worrisome, sure. It’s step one in any anti-intellectual movement.

      Can’t have smart people because smart people will undermine you every step of the way. They’re doing it now.

      What else can you do?
