I love it. An American telling Americans are dumb and trying to use this fact in a way that makes it look bright to restrict US immigration. At least he started with "Selfishly" and warned users with his username.

You've misread/understood. They dont state or imply Americans are dumb. More recognise America (as do all countries) has a surplus of average, so points out why increase that.

No, it's called taking advantage of a brain drain, and has long been a point of pride for Americans.

Immigration is a zero-sum game. Americans should be proud when they can poach the best.
