Why does Alabama have some of the least educated Americans? Not enough immigrants. And too many people so dumb as to be told how and who to hate.

The most productive states educate kids of all immigrants. After all, the best education system trains the most productive people in America. Immigrants and their legacies.

I half-disagree.

Illegal immigrants are great. They're a pool of cheap flexible labour that can't stand up for rights or negotiate with any strength, and their presence drives down the wages of the legal poor.

A lot of US citizens benefit a lot from illegals, which is why the efforts to be rid of them are so half-hearted. But goodness, you don't want them educated. So long as they can start the mower and maybe drive the truck, that's all they need. If they got education, they might start getting uppity, forget their place.

Remember, it used to be a criminal offence to teach a black person to read.
