CMV: We should be prioritizing immigration from "shithole" countries

What you need is a proof

Here is some more data for you

Where is the data to back up your claim?

How about over a 100 years of immigration from poor countries.

If poverty is a such a good thing, shouldn't we scrap the welfare system and remove the minimum wage in order to create more poor people in America because "poor people are more motivated to make their family lives better"?

Since you seem to not understand my point let's use an analogy. We have a set of identical twins, Mike and Steve. Mike has grown up in a well-off family and his parents have spoiled him rotten. Steven grew up in abject poverty with no safety net. Both are given a job at a major company. Of the two, which are going to be more motivated to succeed?

The claim that more cultures in America equals a more prosperous society is a dubious one. Not all cultures contribute positive effects to the society that it is imported into.

All cultures have good and bad qualities but the answer is not xenophobia. Any country that practices xenophobia has been met with dire consequences. See Japan, China, North Korea....

The definition of immigration is "the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country".

You must not know many immigrants. Many of them WILL return back to their countries and invest money in the local economy. They don't just abandon their home and family. In fact, I just talked with a client who recently returned home from his home country and invested $40k. It happens all the time.
