The Wall Street Journal has a 29 July article A Scientific Case for Immigration’s Benefits by Peter Coclanis (PC for short. How appropriate.) PC notes "Ten of the 13 recipients (77%) of Simons Investigators awards are immigrants to the U.S.". So? I note the countries they came from: Vietnam (2), Iran (1), India (3), Romania (1), Poland (1), Russia (1) and China (1). [Simons Foundations Investigators Award report.]
Interesting. Not one from: Mexico, South America or Africa.
I have an idea: give each prospective immigrant an IQ test. If he gets over 130, he’s in. But wait: that would show "disparate impact" wouldn’t it?
Why won’t Americans study science anyway?
See previous letters from George Weinbaum.
James Fulford writes: I don’t suppose any of the Simons Foundations grantees were undocumented valedictorians, either. The answer to our reader’s final question is in the title of an Ed Rubenstein column: Why Americans Don’t Study Science — It Doesn’t Pay.
