There is an exploding Somali immigrant scandal in Minnesota. It looks to be the biggest scandal in US history. Somalis appear to have scammed and looted more billions of taxpayer dollars than we gave Lehman Brothers during the 2008 economic meltdown.

And it appears this $9 billion scam is just the tip of the iceberg.

The amount stolen by Somali immigrants in Minnesota may be small compared to the amount stolen by Somalis in every state.

At this point, it’s fair to wonder if there is a single Somali immigrant who isn’t on the dole? How many Somali immigrants in the USA are not on welfare, food stamps, or free healthcare? How many aren’t scamming, or looting taxpayers? How many Somali immigrants pay more taxes into the system than they take out? I’m betting not many.

The exploding Minnesota-Somalian scandal is

Exhibit A proving a few important things….

First, not all immigration is good for America. We are better off letting no one in, versus letting anyone in.

Second, not all immigrants are equal. Some immigrants are better, and smarter, and more talented than others.

Some are unskilled, low IQ, and more apt to need welfare, or to steal and scam the American taxpayers once allowed in our country.

That brings me to number three- the conclusion…

We need standards. This is America. We can’t let just anyone in. We should never let low IQ immigrants into our country. It’s just asking for trouble.

Back in the early 1980’s I was a managing partner in a major nightclub in Manhattan. Even nightclubs had standards. Every night we put out the velvet ropes and positioned doormen and security behind the ropes. Every night crowds formed begging to get into our nightclub.

They were begging to pay a $20 cover charge (and this was 40+ years ago), and often waving $100 bribes in their hands to motivate the doormen to let them in. That was before they gained entry, and had to pay big money for drinks, and food.

And still, we didn’t let just anyone in. We turned away far more than we let in.

You had to be SPECIAL to get into our nightclub.

Why don’t you have to be special to get into America? Why do we have to let anyone in? Why shouldn’t they be “SSS- special, skilled, and smart?”

Liberals think people like me want every immigrant to be rich. Not true.

Liberals think people like me want every immigrant to be white. Not true.

Liberals think people like me want every immigrant to be from European countries. Not true.

I don’t really care if you’re rich, or poor, or white, or what country you’re from.

I only care that you’re smart, skilled, ambitious, hard-working, and SPECIAL.

Ironically, that’s the same kind of people we used to allow to enter our nightclub. No low IQ dummies, no lazy bums, no talent-less losers, and no criminals or scammers, were allowed into our nightclub. We had standards.

So, why would we allow just anyone into our great country?

What I’m proposing is that we demand IQ tests for anyone who wants to get into our country. We need standards. Like colleges, law schools, medical schools, and business schools used to require- before DEI. How’d that work out?

Or just like corporations used to require- before DEI. How’d that work out?

You got in only if you met a certain standard- based on test scores, or grades, or resumes.

First and foremost, we should test potential immigrants for IQ. We should not allow any dummies into America. You don’t have to be rich. But you need to be smart.

If your IQ is high enough, we know you’ll probably make it in America without welfare, food stamps, free healthcare, or scamming our taxpayers- like the Somalis of Minnesota (and maybe all 50 states).

If your IQ is high enough, we know you’ll stand a good chance of adding to our society, of bringing value, of paying taxes into the system, of getting a job, building a nice career, and keeping it.

Smart people are winners. Low IQ dummies are not. We need smart people in America. We already have enough “DDDD’s”- dummies, druggies, deadwood (lazy bums) and desperate welfare addicts.

Liberals might be shocked to learn I want immigrants from every country in the world. Even Somalia. As long as they’re smart and hard working. As long as they’re high IQ and self-reliant.

So, what we need, and should allow, and should recruit, is the smartest people from every country. I’ll take the top ½ of 1% of smartest people from Somalia, Haiti, Nigeria, Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, and China.

But not the other 99 1/2%. We don’t need the dummies, or lazy losers.

Guess what? No racism there. I don’t care about your skin color. I only care about your brainpower.

So, from now on, let’s demand an IQ test for immigrants who want to come to America. You don’t have to be white, or be European, or be rich.

But you need to be the best and brightest your country offers. You need a high IQ. You need to have the highest work ethic. You need to have skills we need in America.

You need to be special.

You can be from Somalia. But you better be the best and brightest ½ of 1% of Somalis. Or you don’t get into America.

That’s the mistake we’ve been making. We’ve been letting in the worst of the worst. Somalia isn’t the problem. It’s the kind of people Democrats welcomed in from Somalia- the worst of the worst.

This has to end. We are America. We are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have standards. We should only let in the best of the best.

Our standards should be at least as high as my old Manhattan nightclub.

Happy New Year!
