Salvaging What Is Left Of America- Step 1

The mean IQ of Americans, as well those residing in other countries in the western world, has been falling about 1.5 to 2.0 points a generation since the Elizabethan era. This is a major problem because, as Herrnstein and Murray point out in their masterpiece The Bell Curve, most of societies' social problems (crime, illegitimacy, poverty, etc.) are concentrated in people with below average intelligence. In today's high-tech world it also is becoming increasingly difficult for intellectually challenged people to make a decent living. Thus, the first, and most important step in righting Americas floundering ship of state is to take steps to increase the average IQs of its people. For the past 50 or so years our public policies have had the opposite effect. In this respect, paying low IQ single welfare mothers to have children was a colossal step in the wrong direction. Our loose border policies which allow hordes of low IQ immigrants from Mexico and South America to enter the county and dilute our intellectual capacity has been equally disastrous. So what can be done about it? Well, actually, quite a lot. First, we must reverse course. Rather than paying single welfare mothers to have children we should be paying them not to have children. I suggest we begin by providing a cash award (bribe if you will) of $5000 to every unmarried welfare mother who will agree to have a Norplant injection. This foolproof method of birth control will prevent her from becoming pregnant for five years. At the end of the five year period, she could agree to have a second Norplant injection and receive a second $5000 award, let's call it a good citizenship award. Prospective single welfare mothers could continue in the program as long as they were in their child bearing years. Note, this proposed policy change is completely voluntary and, most importantly, race neutral. Any women can apply as long as she is on welfare of any kind. Furthermore, if after five years the welfare mother chooses to have more children she can simply stop taking the Norplant injections. We might even consider expanding the program to include women on welfare who have never had a child married or not. The next step is easy, we just build the dammed fence! If we are to have any chance of increasing the mean IQ of our nation we must stop the illegal immigration of low IQ immigrants from Mexico and South America. Just how hard would it be to build an impregnable fence that would stop illegal immigration in its tracks? Not half as difficult as putting men on the moon and bringing them back, I would think. At the same time we should be encouraging the immigration of educated people from other countries in the civilized world. "You educate um and we'll take um" should be our motto. The main thrust of our immigration policy should be to encourage those who can immediately contribute something to come to America We should not be taking in people who will become an economic burden the minute they set foot on our shores, even if they have family ties to people already living in America. If they have the skills to survive economically in our society they can come, if not they stay home wherever that might be. Education is the key, if an immigrant is educated he most likely will be reasonably smart and an asset, if not he or she most likely will be a drain on society. In days long past we needed people who could build railroads and settle land, today we need people who are computer literate and have high tech skills, it's really as simple as that. By the way, we do not owe any foreigner anything, much less a free ride. We also need to encourage educated women of all races to have more children. With respect to whites, or any other race for that matter, each women, on average, must have 2.2 children for the race just to stay even generation to generation. The birthrate of white women is now only 1.7, while the birthrate of lower IQ black and Latino women is two to three times higher. We must reverse this statistic if we are to have any chance of increasing the nation's mean IQ. This is easier said than done. In fact, it may be impossible to induce smart professional women to have more children. We might initiate policies (extended maternity leave, tax incentives

, enhanced affordable day care, etc.) that will reduce the burden of child bearing and rearing for educated working mothers of all races. It's hard to raise a family if you are working 60 hours a week as an executive at General Motors and we should take steps to lessen this burden. But, as I said, of all my suggestions, this one will be the hardest to achieve; nonetheless we should try. Finally, we need to overturn the anchor baby law that immediately grants citizenship to anyone who is born here. Granted, anchor babies are a small part of the problem, but the fact that we still have such a ridiculous statute on the books is a glaring example of the innate stupidity of our political leaders. None of these suggestions, except the one to increase the birthrate of smart women, would be difficult to implement and, most importantly, they would be cost effective. At first glance, it may seem costly to pay a single women on welfare $5000 to take a Norplant injection. But, if left to her own devices, a low IQ welfare mother could easy have three to five children in five years, the majority of whom would also be of low intelligence and end up on welfare or in prison. Remember, it costs an average of $47,000 to house an inmate for one year in a California correctional facility. This, of course, does not include the human suffering caused by the criminal before he was incarcerated. Considering the human and economic costs of criminality, paying a welfare mother a few thousand dollars every five years not to have children, is chicken feed. As to building the fence, it would, of course, be costly. But considering the welfare, medical and educational costs we now expend on Mexican and South American illegal's, and the price we pay for their criminality, it would be cheap at twice the cost to build a fence that would keep them out in the first place. We really have no choice, we have to build the fence, and the sooner the better. Politicians on both sides of the isle will scream and holler because the liberals see the illegal's as future democrat voters and the conservatives see them as a source of cheap labor. A pox on both their houses! We should through the bastards ( politicians) out and get on with building the damned fence! In the next blog I will address the issue of joblessness.
