You are making your own assumptions there, Boca. And youre likely wrong.


Being from Norway by itself in no way means you are more "qualified" than someone from a third world country. No more than saying being from Fairfax County means you are "more qualified" to go to UVA than someone from SWVA.

Two, there are reasons someone from Haiti or another third world nation might have a stronger case to come here based on other factors (asylum, student visa, talented professional looking for a more favorable environment to work as an engineer, etc.). The Norwegian could be just an unskilled flunkie and the Haitian a brilliant mathematician. Its at minimum borderline bigotry to assume someone from Europe is going to be more "worthy" and thats the point.
