"Would You Be Allowed To Immigrate To The US?"


  

          

A recent Time article included a sample quiz for people to take to see if they would be allowed to immigrate.

With my age (42), education (Bachelor's degree), English ability (fluent), salary, and inability to invest more than a million dollars, I scored 22. I would need a 30 to be allowed to immigrate so I'd be denied.

For giggles, I scored Trump himself. He's 70, has a bachelor's degree, is fluent in English (I granted him this despite his word salad responses ), has a salary of over $155K, and can invest over $1.8 million. He gets a 43, so he's allowed in. However, his money gave him 25 points. Without that, he's only an 18.

The system definitely scores money over anything else. If I were a 40 year old, high school dropout, with poor English ability, but a high paying job offer (perhaps because of a rich parent), and the ability to invest $2 million in a new enterprise, then I'd get in over a 30 year old with a bachelor's degree, fluent in English, with a $75K job.

I'm an 18, same as a penniless Trump.

As is their custom, Time runs another worthless survey aimed at promoting circulation rather than enlightenment.

I'm pretty sure you would be let in. I calculate a 30 to 38 for you - depending on your wages.

Jim.

Edit: Even Wernher von Braun wouldn't be admitted under this scheme - assuming that his English is only "excellent".

Well stated!

Unfortunately, through some fluke we now have a President that is regarded as the "two minute man" by most of even the people in his administration. He will not even read anything over a half page in length, with the exception of any document praising him as Gods gift to humanity by one of his sycophant followers, (He can't get enough of that).

That is the devious, dishonest, deluded fool that has been put in charge of our great nation, by the majority if a deluded electorate, and it places the question of whether we can outlast him as a nation worth living in.
