But what about their children? Or their children's children? 'Return to the mean' means that the even the best and smartest African, Latin American and Middle Eastern immigrants will eventually devolve into the average inhabitant of the homeland that they ran away from after a few generations.
You can see this with the current events in France. The older immigrants are indeed there to work and probably are not too troublesome, but their children are the ones spraying holocaust memorials with threats, burning libraries and looting entire cities.
In the US, Hispanic crime rate is much higher than White crime rate, even though the "immigrants commit less crime" idea would lead us to believe that they would commit less crime than Whites, because more Hispanics are immigrants than Whites are immigrants.
"Return to the mean" is not completely true, instead "regression to the mean" is what occurs and only for the first generation.
Still, it's a rightful complaint that second generation immigrants are usually less successful and unlike their parents, they usually aren't grateful for being accepted, but resentful for 'being excluded' (at least that's what they often feel).
It's also not true that no natives are trying to transform the political status quo - Democrats (and progressives in the academia and corporate world) are actively doing that and wanting to give amnesty to immigrants and advantages to their descendants.
Finally, the "stronger opposition to socialism" is only true as long as "natives" are in the majority - once the "pro-welfare immigrant descendants" (+most native blacks+some native whites) become the majority, the whole thing is turned into its head, and it's easy to see how this could occur with the type of complete open borders policy Caplan is advocating.
The worst part about this is that Richard Hoste is WAY more correct today the 2010.
1) We really did move our politics far to the left as a result of the electorate getting less white since 2010.
2) The most conservative Supreme Court in a generation just struck down a restriction of birthright citizenship, proving "keyhole solutions" are totally impossible.
3) The "realm of politics" dramatically increased since 2010 (they literally can tell you you arne't allowed to go outside without a muzzle).
4) Existing minority voters proved that they can be anti-immigration at the polls.
> immigrants commit much less crime than natives

Your objection is that their or grandchildren might assimilate. Amusingly Ironic.
