This bears repeating: "They don't reason like us.  They don't think like us.  They're not capable of learning complex things..."

By this point, it's become a cliché to say that we should staple green cards to the diplomas of foreign-born STEM grads. Barack Obama has said it. Mitt Romney has said it. Hillary Clinton has said it. Marco Rubio has said it. And Thomas Friedman has spent the better part of a decade repeating it to anyone who will listen and even some who won't. Heck, even Donald Trump all but endorsed this last year, as my colleagues David Fahrenthold and Frances Stead Sellers report, on his now-chief strategist Steve Bannon's radio show.

About the only person, it seems, who disagrees is Bannon himself. "When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think..." he replied before trailing off. "A country is more than an economy. We're a civic society."

It's hard to imagine anything that would do more to keep America's economy from being great than this kind of anti-immigrant sentiment. I can't believe I have to say this, but here it is: It doesn't matter if a lot of Asian-Americans are tech CEOs. Asian-Americans are Americans. Nor does it matter if a lot of immigrants are tech CEOs. Immigrants are Americans. Someone born in Mumbai or Shanghai or wherever else who gets their citizenship is just as much an American as someone born in Massachusetts who can trace their ancestry all the way back to the Mayflower. That's what makes America America. It's not about where you're from, or a belief that some people are better than others. It's about where you're going, and a belief that all men and women are created equal.

Yep, according to the same people that told us Trump didn't stand a chance.

Neo nazis...... You need to turn off MSNBC and close TPM/DailyKos.   Have a beer and wait to see what happens.

EVERY Republican is Hitler.  Jeeezus, get a new insult.
