Point dodged.

Actually there have been recent scientific arguments that humans are getting dumber because we are no longer selecting for intelligence.

Of course I am not certain this is correct, rather I think we are seeing a divergence into various subgroups. But still, worth noting.

FUD.

Read this as your starting point:

At the ER a week ago, actually. I was waiting there for my girlfriend to be seen, she broke her tailbone. So were sitting around right next to the registration desks, and im eavesdropping. There was a bunch of people around, the place was pretty crowded for a monday night. There were several families applying for Emergency Medicaid and a few that already had actual Medicaid. All of them were almost non-english speaking people with kids for translators accept 2 of the ones that already had medicaid. They used a hospital employee that spoke spanish.

@ Stubs, so you assumed they were illegal immigrants because they didn't speak English?

Yes sir I did. Well that and the "no have" responses/gestures to a request for SSN. Although to be fair one family might have had greencards cause they pulled out something card like that definetly wasn't an SS card.

I lived in Texas for a while, and it wasn't uncommon to see older folk speak only Spanish. Some of them were Nth generation Texans and US citizens.

So we assume that with your vastly superior intellect, you speak Spanish and talked with the people to know how many Nth generation they were.

Most of the people I know who are 2nd generation can barley even speak enough Spanish to talk to their parents. They don't even try because there is no
real advantage to speaking Spanish in a English speaking country. Their words not mine.
