Tyler Cowan, over at the Volokh Conspiracy, looks at the issue of immigration. One of the categories he proposes would use IQ and English language proficiency as the criteria for admission to the US. I haven’t read Mr. Cowan’s body of commentary in enough detail to know whether he realizes the potential for controversy inherent in his proposal.
Is it the IQ requirement, or the English proficiency, that would most set off the critics?
The English proficiency requirement would seem to support the goal of assimilation as espoused by Francis Fukuyama in this recent column.
