Bleeding the Third World It can’t get any clearer than this. The World Bank has released a report heavily critical of skilled immigration into countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Why? There is considerable evidence that such immigration harms Third World nations. Such nations cannot develop when the majority of their university graduates emigrate to countries like Australia. Consider this. Jamaica loses 85% of its university graduates to the West; Tonga 75%; Fiji 62%; and Ghana 47%. Consider also: one in three highly qualified Africans now lives in the West. Three quarters of Ghana’s medical staff emigrate within ten years of graduation. Malawi, the world’s poorest country, with a life expectancy of only 37 years, spends money training doctors and nurses, who then migrate, leaving (in 2003) only 28% of nursing posts filled and only 9% of surgical posts in its central hospital. The Melbourne Age featured this story on its front page today and also in an opinion piece, both by its economics editor Tim Colebatch. Curiously neither article appears to have been placed on The Age internet site, so I can’t link to them. I can report, though, that Tim Colebatch drew the logical conclusion to this problem of the Third World being drained of its professional classes, namely that, “the solution that makes most sense is to stop relying on poorer countries to supply our knowledge workers, and train enough of our own.” Comments:2

The effect on Haiti is peculiarly disruptive; it decapitates their society. Other countries are not far behind. None of it is necessary; we don’t need the best black. Refugees can be taken care of in poor countries where camps can be supervised to guarantee minimum standards, and even internet access. Immigrants from the third world are asking for a share of an inheritance from past freedom, while increasing the aggression and loss of freedom in current conditions. America should not take more than 100-200 thousand immigrants a year, and all should be in the top percentile of verbal IQ, as shown in the very strictest English fluency and knowledge testing. This way neither society is disrupted. Call it racist or sexist or whatever you like; but a merit recruitment as strict as that would get young single males almost exclusively, and if they were to be immigrants in the sense of raising families here, they would have to marry locally, and that means over 90% white men. Nonwhites would mostly bump others of their ethnicity, in terms of marrying locally. 3
Posted by John S Bolton on Wed, 26 Oct 2005 04:29 | # If 15,000 nonwhites were admitted annually at that level, they would have to marry mostly 20 or 25 IQ points down, and their children would not become a conspiratorial elite, but just some marginally above average middle class ethnic or mixed element. The main point though, is that we should avoid decapitating fragile societies, by taking too many from these. If you were trying to decapitate a society , perhaps NKorea or Cuba, that would be a different objective. Here, though, we are carelessly doing damage, and simultaneously failing to do so advantageously and efficiently in terms of numbers. 4

Particulalry in places like India, where higher education is decent and governance is reasonable, there’s no reason whatever to remove the top graduates, as they will enormously benefit the living standrads in India, thus reducing risks and pressures for the world as a whole. Wolrd GDP is NOT maximised by skilled immigration to rich countries! 5

Many of our best never get a look through the window, where as other Graduates from other nations have a lesser comprehension seem to gain employment in Western societies and ours clean gutters. Something smells funny in Academe and that is where we fall flat on our faces. The enemy insurgents have white anted every single institution we held in esteem, and now, on the verge of collapse. 6
Posted by W E Stewart on Sat, 29 Oct 2005 21:17 | # Many never learn the lessons of History. World War II was a catastrophe for the German people, but only in one respect, the US, England, one half of France and many others were lured to fight against Germany by the dollars they could earn from the US. Probably the mistake of attacking Russia led to the down fall of Germany. Had that not happened Germany would still be ruling Europe. We would have stayed out of it and we would all be better for it. Men who understand that one cannot micro manage situations realize, giving a mission to the Military and then stand back and let them get on with it, is the what a real leader does best. Get out of their way! Post a comment:

This article offers a slighty different look:
LONDON: Britain suffers the worst brain drain in the world, even more so than India which comes in third after the Philippines at second place.
One in six British graduates’ desert the UK to work abroad according to the first major study of the ‘brain drain’ crisis carried out by the World Bank. More than 1.44 million graduates have left the UK to look for more highly paid jobs and better lifestyles. While India has about one million graduates leaving for jobs abroad.
The top three destinations for British graduates are the US, Canada and Australia. The migration far outweighs the 1.26 million immigrant graduates in the UK, leaving a net “brain loss” of some 200,000 people. Britain has lost more skilled workers including scientists, bankers and doctors than any other country in the world and has failed miserably at holding onto homegrown talent.
Graduates are even going to India to work in call centres. Last week, a survey found that UK graduates were prepared to fill an expected 16,000 Indian call-centre vacancies by 2009.
Last month UK’s Minister for Immigration and Asylum Tony McNulty at a reception by the Labour Friends of India had sharply pointed out the problem. “Our focus is not how to stop Indians coming over here, but how to prevent talented educated graduates of Indian origin leaving the UK to work in India,” said McNulty.
