Uruguay is on the list. I remember when Uruguayans didn't even need a visa to visit the US.

This is stupid and weakens the U.S. We have benefited so much from the visa program over the history of this country. If the smartest people of Russia and various other countries want to flee and join the U.S., we would be at an advantage.

It looks like we’re trying to beat Japan, China, South Korea, Italy and Germany in who can age and shrink their population the fastest.

We used to be great shape in regards to the age depopulation bomb.
