> No single program explains immigrants' higher overall welfare use. For example, not counting subsidized school lunch, welfare use is still 46 percent for immigrants and 28 percent for natives. Not counting Medicaid, welfare use is 44 percent for immigrants and 26 percent for natives.
> The welfare system is designed to help low-income workers, especially those with children, and this describes many immigrant households. In 2012, 51 percent of immigrant households with one or more workers accessed one or more welfare programs, as did 28 percent of working native households.
> The high rates of immigrant welfare use are not entirely explained by their lower education levels. Households headed by college-educated immigrants have significantly higher welfare use than households headed by college-educated natives — 26 percent vs. 13 percent.
You said, "scientific and intellectual progress could be heightened with more people [from those in Central America]". What data are you using to base such a claim? 97% of all innovations have been from Europeans from 800BC to 1950AD.

> 1. 'The EU center" Yes, trust the EU's report, they clearly have no agenda whatsoever, especially when considering Juncker's recent statement in which he asserted the EU would try to block democratically elected right wing parties from power. Even if Sweden over-reports rapes as compared to the rest of the world, there is still the crucial statistic of quantity of rapes by race. The fact people of foreign background are so over-represented means there is clearly an issue. Something like 91% of rapes in sweden are committed by people of foreign background, and the percentage is similar in pretty much all European countries that have experienced Islamic immigration in recent years.
Poisoning the well.
> 2. Actually, it's quite obvious that this is primarily a result of immigration. If old racial proportions had not changed, whites becoming a minority so soon would not have even been a possibility. Whites made up over 95% of most European countries following the end of WW2.
Read my other comments. I don't deny that.
> At worst, the population would slightly decline or stagnate as a very small minority of the population reproduced faster than the majority.
This is a major problem across Europe. In only a few years, we will have a
major economic problem, due to low birth rates.
> While I don't care to discuss race mixing because I doubt there is actually much science behind claims either pro or anti it,
There is significant evidence pro it.
> there are quite significant racial IQ gaps. Whites and Asians have an average IQ of somewhere between 100 and 110, those inhabiting Middle Eastern countries have an average IQ of between 80 and 90, and those inheriting Sub-Saharan Africa have an average IQ ranging from 60 to 80.
This can be explained by environmental factors.
> A quick google search on the matter yielded quite a few interesting results. Here is one: https://jaymans.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/sw3jig.jpg This book does a great job of covering human achievement through the ages http://www.amazon.com/Human-Accomplishment-Pursuit-Excellence-Sciences/dp/0060929642 and this set of graphs should say it all https://i.imgur.com/ySaBlBA.png
That book is incredebly eurocentric, and really low-quality IMO.
Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950 by Charles Murray (of The Bell Curve fame).
Alt-Hype made a great video which referenced Charles Murray's work and convincingly debunked the popular leftist argument that non-White civilizations greatly surpassed White Europeans technologically in the past. As you'll see in the video, virtually all of the technological developments that were made before the White European Industrial Revolution were relatively insignificant in comparison. And even the so-called "Dark Age" of European history really wasn't as backwards and primitive as popularly claimed by the left. As soon as civilization reached Europe, Europeans have pretty much always been on par with India, China, and the Middle East. And then White Europeans left everyone in the dust with the Industrial Revolution. And only a couple of Northeast Asian countries have caught up to White Western countries in the last few decades.
Not OP, but based on the words on top of each page, it looks like it's taken from Charles Murray's book "Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences".
Presumably, pages 252 and 296. Just guessing.

Its more likely around 90 % + range.

Either buy the book or read the fucking article. You have absolutely no leg to stand on here and are literally resorting to Islamic Golden Age and Moore memes.
Someone shared that a "Hate Watch" subreddit has this comment linked.
When I went to see it, they only have this small thread within this larger conversation linked. It would have been just as easy to link to the conversation, as a part of the conversation. It's obvious that they're disinterested in what r/AltRight is about -- rather, they're seek only echo chamber indignation fodder.
I was once a Leftist -- but also cared about intellectual integrity (which would explain my move Right). For the Leftist who thinks they've got all the information when their leaders lead, you should know that they're giving you a square inch of a building sized mural -- they are intentionally handling and deceiving you.
Here's something I said in a different part of this conversation. A part the Propaganda Ministers don't include.

Until you get to the White contributions, I would say exactly the same thing. We're always painted as hating everyone else, instead of loving ourselves and appreciating others.
It's true that African, Jewish, and Latin peoples have made some fine contributions to the world. And I'll give credit where credit is due. But that doesn't change the fact that most of the essential contributions to civilizing society are overwhelmingly White. And I'll give credit where credit is due.

This book lays out the accomplishments of civilization. I hear that a "hate watch" r/group has this conversation linked. Someone in there might be ready for something more than chanted rhetoric. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060929642/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2FSDR5QBR3PE4

This is the book in question.
> European people's relied on circumstance?
Once it is a happening. Twice it is coincidence. Thrice it is a pattern. The European land is the best as far as evolutionary benefits goes. Best nutrition, weather, resources etc. Yes. This is why we are here today. This is why by the evolutionary process the achievements of Europeans number 90-95% of all.
> How much of it was won through the spoils of war instead of self innovation?
Precisely? No clue. However when are the means more important than the end? And by what metric do you judge war to be inherently negative? By war men know the fullness of life. By war we reveal the worst of humanity yes, but also the best minds, the most innovative discoveries and forms of progress.
> This "my people" shit just seems like a way for people who haven't accomplished shit to feel a part of the accomplishment of their ancestors.
The idea is simple. Our ancestors fought, bleed, sacrificed and constantly pushed for better. We live on their shoulders and the greatness that was their existence. What we have today: safe and prosperous societies, those things came about because of their goodwill. The conclusion is that we should strive to be as best as we can be. To honor them and ourselves. To match their greatness and eventually surpass it. That is the idea of "my people". A never ending passion to better yourself and what is yours. I believe this is what everyone of all people on Earth should be doing. Love for your own does not need hatred for others.
> However culture is learned and not predetermined by your genetics.
To some degree yes. However genetics dictate the level of intelligence of the individual. They tell about the likelihood for addictions, the speak of capability to understand and innovate. Genes are everything. If the genes of humans coded for roughly the same capacity all across the board then how come there are still groups of people in Africa that are living in mud huts? Surely if the biological capacity were there, they would have evolved beyond that point a long time ago. 5,000 years ago. Culture is an expression of genetics.
Dr. Kevin MacDonald has an excellent book on this subject called 'The Culture of Critique'.
And a reminder that King isn't wrong, he just said what you're not allowed to say: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Accomplishment-Pursuit-Excellence-Sciences/dp/0060929642
It's a book by Charles Murray and it's exceedingly well-researched. Go read it. Maybe you'll learn something.
