A very interesting post to set your mind on a different level of thinking.

 

IQ, Crime, Nobel Prizes, And Immigration: The Diversity That Is Destroying Western Civilization

 

Like water, culture — if it’s not protected — will flow to the lowest point until equilibrium sets in.

Vince Coyner | May 27, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Sometimes data or information that seems completely disconnected can tell a story when taken together.  I experienced that recently.  Over the course of a few days I saw a number of posts on X that caught my attention.  First was a post stating that “Whites make up only 8% of the world’s population… so in fact, we are the minority.”  That 8% is down from a peak of approximately 25% in the 19th century.

Next I saw a post that featured a map of the world and showed the average IQ of the citizens. Hong Kong had the highest, with 107.7 while Somalia had the lowest 83.8. Both nations are largely homogeneous while the very diverse United States comes in at 101.  Generally sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest scores while eastern Asia has the highest.

Then I saw a post about Denmark and who commits crimes based on their nation of origin.  The data wasn’t pretty.  In every category from rape to attempted murder and everything in between, foreigners were far more likely to be the perpetrators than Danes.  Rape gives you an idea of exactly how the data played out:  Somalis were 20x more likely to commit rapes than Danes.  Syrians, 16x, Palestinians, 12x, Afghans, 11x, and Iraqis, 9x.  Somalis were 27x more likely to attempt to commit murder as well.

Then finally I saw a post that listed Nobel Prize winners by nationality.  The United States had by far the most, with 425, followed in second place by the U.K. with 114.  Of the 15 nations with the highest number of prizes, only one, Japan at #7 with 33, is the only one not from a largely white western nation. Of the one thousand or so prizes awarded since 1901, approximately 85% went to white males, 10% to women, 5% went to Asians, 2% to Latin Americans, and 1% to blacks. 

At this point I’ve got these disparate bits of information in my head, but nothing is quite clicking, but I’m certain there is something to be discerned. Then I realize I’m reading all of this on the backdrop of Europe and the rest of the West being invaded by people coming from the very nations that are on the bottom of those IQ score charts.  I say invaded, but in reality it’s more like the doors are being flung open by the globalist elites in Brussels and Washington.

Now of course, it has to be said that IQ scores are but one measure of a person.  Indeed, having a high IQ score doesn’t guarantee that someone is going to be a good or successful person. Both Ted Bundy and Ted Kaczynski were said to have IQs of approximately 136 while Mohammed Ali, known for his dazzling verbal agility, scored a 78.

Nonetheless, on a national scale there is a rather strong correlation between IQ and the wealth of a nation.  Which makes one question why the leaders of Western nations have been so adamant, for so long, that they must allow unfettered immigration from so many low IQ nations where the populations do not share the most fundamental of Western values?

The folly of such policies is legion.  Across Europe we read almost daily about women and children being raped by “migrants,” not to mention churches burning and no-go zones where police fear to enter.  Across the United States, in addition to blatant fraud, a majority of immigrants are recipients of government largesse and basic services like schools and hospitals are overwhelmed.

The reality is, “diversity” for diversity’s sake is never, ever, a positive for Western civilization.

Now, of course the left will cry that not everyone from Somalia or Afghanistan or Nicaragua has an IQ in the eighties, and even if they did, they deserve an opportunity to better their lives.  Both statements may be true individually, but neither suggests why the West should open its doors to them in aggregate. The reality is, there are members of any group who perform — or in this case score on an IQ test — better than the majority of citizens of their countries.  And while it might be nice to identify and offer such people entry, that’s not how it works.  In both Europe and the United States, for far too long the borders have simply been erased and tens of millions of third world “refugees” have entered, bringing with them the very third-world values that kept their nations from succeeding in the first place.

The reality is, over the last 500 years, almost all of the advances that have come about that have improved the lives of mankind have come from white males living in Western civilizations. This is particularly true since the founding of the United States.  That doesn’t mean that others haven’t contributed or that the white males got or get everything right, because they most certainly didn’t.  But it does make one wonder why the leaders of the civilizations built by that group are so determined to destroy everything that they built in the name of diversity.

If the goal were to improve the lives of the less fortunate around the world, Western leaders would be exporting the things that made the West successful in the first place… Law and order, education, capitalism, the scientific method, limited government, individual freedom, Christianity, and equality under the law.  In general, these are the foundational elements that created prosperity and built Western civilization, and the third world immigrants who are streaming into the West share almost none of them, and few assimilate to them once they arrive.

That dichotomy is a grenade waiting to explode.  The crime chart from the formerly safe Denmark makes that perfectly clear, as does the use of welfare programs by immigrants in the United States.

But of course, it’s not just IQ. Indeed, in the United States we have a program whose applicants dovetail with high-IQ programs — H-1B — but that program is terribly problematic as it sacrifices American workers so that big businesses can import Indians and pay them less for the same work.  At the same time, east Asian nations, with the highest IQ scores in the world, are sorely lacking in the kinds of advances reflected in Nobel prizes, which in turn drive advances and prosperity.

The reality is, Western civilization, for all of its many, many faults, has given mankind most of the things that drive the world today: Automobiles, telephones, airplanes, MRI machines, computers, and much more.  And the world envies it.  How can you tell?  Because millions of people from around the world invade the United States, France, the U.K., Italy, Sweden, and more every year. But how many people do you see paying coyotes thousands of dollars to sneak them into Mexico or Cuba or Somalia or India or Lebanon?  Not many.

As the influence of these third world “migrants” grows, particularly Muslims, the West will find its unprecedented standard of living continue to decline.  High-trust societies cannot import those who have no regard for the cultures of their hosts. Like water, culture — if it’s not protected — will flow to the lowest point until equilibrium sets in.  With whites at 8% of the world’s population and the foundational values that built Western civilization under attack from within and without, that equilibrium is going to look far more like Beirut or Mogadishu or Caracas than it will London or New York or Paris at their peaks.  No, thank you….

 

The Nation's immigration policies have created such a corrupt system; it absolutely amazing!

 

DHS moves to prosecute immigration lawyers for filing fraudulent asylum claims

US immigration officials have repeatedly warned about abuses in the asylum system.

 The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has directed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims, including taking legal action against immigration attorneys who have a long practice of coaching their clients "to conceal their past" and/or "outright lie" in their asylum applications, DHS said in a Tuesday press release.

Under the directive, ICE is to adopt anti-fraud procedures in order to better implement 8 USC 1324c(d), a law that provides penalties for document fraud. This will enable ICE attorneys to take enforcement action against immigration lawyers who file false allegations in immigration court, according to DHS.

"For many years, millions of illegal aliens have committed fraud in our immigration system. No place is this more rampant than in immigration court," said DHS General Counsel James Percival in a press release. "Protection claims like asylum are intended to cover unique and narrow circumstances, but it is standard practice for immigration attorneys representing illegal aliens to assert that virtually every illegal alien is going to be persecuted or tortured in his or her home country. Historically, ICE has depended on the discipline of immigration judges and the enforcement of criminal fraud laws to deter this conduct, but ICE has its own tools. Now, thanks to this directive, ICE attorneys have greater authority to enforce the law and stop the abuse of our asylum system by illegal aliens and attorneys."

The Department of Homeland Security said the directive enforces President Donald Trump's March 2025 presidential memorandum titled, "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and Federal Court."

The order, aimed, in part, at restoring integrity to the US immigration system, states: "The immigration system—where rampant fraud and meritless claims have supplanted the constitutional and lawful bases upon which the President exercises core powers under Article II of the United States Constitution is likewise replete with examples of unscrupulous behavior by attorneys and law firms."

"For instance," the order continues, "the immigration bar, and powerful Big Law pro bono practices, frequently coach clients to conceal their past or lie about their circumstances when asserting their asylum claims, all in an attempt to circumvent immigration policies enacted to protect our national security and deceive the immigration authorities and courts into granting them undeserved relief."

"This fraud in turn undermines the integrity of our immigration laws and the legal profession more broadly—to say nothing of the undeniable, tragic consequences of the resulting mass illegal immigration, whether in terms of heinous crimes against innocent victims like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, or Rachel Morin, or the enormous drain on taxpayer resources intended for Americans," the order reads. 

US immigration officials, including Tom Homan, have repeatedly warned about abuses in the asylum system, particularly during the Biden administration, when nearly all migrants who illegally entered the US but claimed, without evidence, to be escaping persecution in their home countries were automatically granted asylum for an extensive time period. Additionally, CNN recently interviewed a Mexican woman who said she was waiting for Trump's term to end to come to the US, where she intended to claim asylum.

 

The evil corrupt illegal immigration fiasco goes round and round! Judges and Lawyers are having a 'hay day'.

 

DOJ vows to appeal after judge dismisses smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia as 'vindictive'

DOJ spokesperson calls ruling 'wrong and dangerous' after judge found prosecution was retaliation for civil lawsuit

By Alexandra Koch , Bill Mears , David Spunt Fox News 5-22-26

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) vowed to appeal a federal judge's decision Friday to dismiss human smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who initially entered the U.S. illegally and allegedly had suspected ties to MS-13, slamming the ruling as "wrong and dangerous."

U.S. District Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. on Friday threw out a two-count indictment in Tennessee against Abrego Garcia, ruling the DOJ's actions amounted to "vindictive and selective prosecution" in violation of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause.

Abrego Garcia was facing charges after allegedly conspiring to smuggle roughly 600 illegal immigrants into the U.S. annually, between 2016 and 2025, according to a cooperating witness.

"Another activist judge has placed politics above public safety," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News. "The judge’s order is wrong and dangerous, and we will appeal."

The federal investigation was initially sparked by a November 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee and included suspected ties to the MS-13 gang and human trafficking.

The case became a constitutional standoff after the executive branch deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador in March 2025 due to an alleged "administrative error."

Abrego Garcia sued the government, and the judicial branch — ultimately backed by the Supreme Court — unanimously ordered his return be "facilitate[d]" to the U.S.

Crenshaw, an Obama appointee, noted that just days after the Supreme Court's ruling, the Department of Homeland Security suddenly reopened a closed investigation into Abrego Garcia's 2022 traffic stop.

Top Justice Department officials, under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, then pushed for an indictment, according to court documents.

In his 32-page memorandum opinion, Crenshaw determined the DOJ's rapid pivot from closing the case to prosecuting Abrego Garcia was a direct retaliation for his successful civil lawsuit.

Calling it an "abuse of prosecuting power," the judge concluded "absent Abrego’s successful lawsuit challenging his removal to El Salvador, the Government would not have brought this prosecution."

As a result of the finding, Crenshaw formally dismissed the indictment and vacated Abrego Garcia's conditions of release.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who flew to El Salvador in April 2025 to meet with Abrego Garcia after he was deported to the country's "Terrorism Confinement Center" (CECOT) megaprison, hailed Friday's decision.

"Today, a federal judge made clear what we have long known: the Department of Justice was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia," Van Hollen said in a statment. "This decision is a strong repudiation of Trump’s lawless DOJ and a win for the Constitutional rights of everyone in our nation."

 

"As individual responsibility for crimes and bad behaviors continues to be diluted and diminished in our society, we can expect a rise in antisocial behavior and crime".

 

Illegal Is Legal, Immoral Is Moral

The moral norm in American society has shifted, and not for the better.

E. Jeffrey Ludwig | May 24, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

The moral norm in American society has shifted during the years from 1910 to the present, but especially during the past 50 years.  The link between being a “good citizen” and a “moral person” has atrophied, and we find ourselves in a decline, where so-called “good citizens” are regularly engaged in behaviors that in earlier decades were considered immoral or illegal.  Bad behavior is now “not so bad,” and crimes are often believed to be merely “adjustment problems.”  This shift in cultural values and norms has divided the population to the point where the more moral people tend to be older and deem younger generations less than moral.

On this writer’s block, there are two houses that have LGBTQ flags on poles in their yards.  Another “gay” couple has the flag outside in June, the official month for “appreciation” of those relationships.  The flag announces for all to see the victory of Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, where the SCOTUS legitimized homosexual “marriage” nationwide as constitutional.  The Court reached this decision even though plebiscites by 30 states had previously voted against attempting to redefine marriage — even including California, on two occasions.

A young man who lives on my block is in his twenties and conversed with me the other day while smoking a joint that was as big as a small blunt.  His eyes were glazed and his expression tired, which he attributed to the “joint.”  At the same time, he was sociable and even engaging as he related a recent video production where he had been employed.  For him, being high and having a conversation with a neighbor was a completely normal activity.  The thought that anyone might question his stability or goodness as a person would never cross his mind.

Prostitution has been largely decriminalized in New York City, in particular in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.  In Queens, there are Human Trafficking Intervention Courts, which were established more than 20 years ago in 2004 to “[treat] women arrested for prostitution as victims rather than criminals.”  The fact that worship of Ashteroth in the Holy Bible, involving prostitution invading the premises of worship in the temples, was repudiated by God does not even come into play when evaluating our laws.

We also are contending with millions of foreign nationals who were admitted illegally during President Joe Biden’s administration, whom Democrats defend against being rounded up and deported.  This expulsion of illegals is an affirmation of our legal system, which has set up rules for legal entry into the USA.  The rules were approved by our legislative system, but now and for the four years of the previous administration, those laws are being denied and repudiated by one of our two major parties.  The Democrats are doing what they can to defund the offices of government responsible for rounding up those illegals.  They are encouraging illegal behavior yet do not believe that a stigma is attached to that intention.

They are sentimentalizing immigration laws as though our already generous laws were overly strict and against the pro-immigration traditions of the USA.  Illegal entry by “huddled masses yearning to breathe free” is being propagandized as being more “moral” than obedience to the legitimately passed laws.

Also, our society has gone from a country honoring Ben Franklin’s saying, “neither a borrower nor a lender be,” to a society that is itself deeply in debt to the tune of trillions of dollars.  We are drowning in a credit-based marketplace where not only the government, but individuals and families are deeply in debt.  There are many companies that exist to negotiate “deals” for those debtors to reduce their obligations.  It seems incredible for our debt-ridden society to think there were prisons for debtors in England as recently as the 19th century.  In today’s world, if someone is drowning in debt, he will surely justify himself with the thought “that does not make me a bad person.”

A pastor friend of mine invited my wife and me to a service celebrating the second anniversary of a church he had established in Brooklyn, N.Y.  As part of the service, the youth choir made up of teenagers came forward to sing.  I was amazed to see one of the singers.  He was a student in one of my high school social studies classes, who was absent (cutting!) most school days.

The following Monday, he showed up for class.  I told him I was in the congregation when he was singing at the event on Friday night, and I asked him, “Are you a Christian?”  He nodded.  And I asked him, “Why are you absent most days from this class?”  He said nothing and then took his seat toward the rear of the room.  He continued throughout the lesson talking and laughing with two or three of his friends.  This was standard behavior for small groups in all classes at that chaotic high school.

He continued being truant most days and failed the class.  His conscience as a Christian was dead to the fact that he was in defiance of his obligation to himself, his family, and society by this lack of cooperation.

About a year and a half later, I learned that he had had an argument with someone in front of his apartment house who he thought was trying to steal his bike.  The person he was arguing with killed him.  I remembered his hardworking mother crying at one parent-teacher meeting as she spoke with me, and saying through her tears, “I don’t want my son to end up spending years behind bars!”

As he was dying, he named the one who stabbed him and was praying constantly. 

We also see increasing numbers of cases in the news of innocent victims, like Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina.  She was on a commuter train going home from work when suddenly she was stabbed to death by a maniac.  He was a felon with dozens of convictions who had been set free because he was perceived by various courts, social workers, and citizens as one of the victims of our “system” and not merely as a “victimizer” or “criminal.”  He is one of many whose crimes are diminished by various psychological and sociological premises.  Because they were poor or neglected or a member of a displaced or rejected people group, their crimes are mitigated.

As individual responsibility for crimes and bad behaviors continues to be diluted and diminished in our society, we can expect a rise in antisocial behavior and crime.  My student prayed intensely as he was dying.  But prayers for mercy, forgiveness, and restoration should be intense before we ever get to the point of death.  We need to pray for a lively conscience, and that our sense of righteousness and responsibility will be reinvigorated and restored.  Otherwise, we as a society will continue to drown in our soporific, watered down values.
