Because people had agrarian jobs

and the economy functions off IQ primarily

In modern society yes

so taking these low IQ migrants is similar to taking people with low muscular potential and forcing them into a bodybuilding competition that decides their entire life

it's not fair

The dumb kid in 1700 could still plant seeds and farm

yeah

Today it’s different

The USA/Europe sets these migrants up to fail

Yeah

because they don't screen ones who are literally genetically unfit for western society

they're too fucking stupid

They could be happy average farmers in somalia

but they'll be retards in slums in america

That’s basically it

I feel bad for them even

but then you realize they're also leeches that hurt us

Their grandchildren might be slightly more accustomed, but not by much

basically by necessity

IQ is not a guarantee of anything

it is a prerequisite

It’s a check mark in society

yeah

Western society

If your IQ is below 90 you are simply fucked

I would require people to hit a certain level on the SAT because it would both screen foreign language and it correlates highly with IQ for people who do speak english

SAT is a good IQ test

it’s also an established test

correlates very well

the issue is you can study for it

so that's really what skews it

I don’t think it does

No like

I got nearly a perfect score on my SAT’s

I ofcourse did well on my ACT yeah

But that’s more on how much you prep

but I didn't have the ACT prep courses my fellow students did

I still got in the top 85%

There are certain tricks to those tests

with no studying

but no one ever taught me how to take it
