due to immigration, USA draws talent from global population of 8.2 billion, so the top limit of people with IQ>140 that can live in USA should be drawn from 8.2 billion, not 340 mln

yes, donny woke up the ancient racist anti-immigration, the blood & soil type crowd, but the economic benefits of immigration are still there (albeit with higher risks and higher hurdles).

I suspect this will simply make labor more expensive on top end of the talent curve

So does every other immigration based country. Why do you think most talented people wouldn't choose a easier way and live somewhere with a higher living standard and less racism and hate?
