Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the United States should employ intelligence tests as an additional measure to ensure the admission of only desirable immigrants. The author, a doctor, maintains that doing so would improve the quality of US citizenship and save the country billions in economic losses due to mental health issues, incarceration, and welfare. Tests should determine emotional stability and moral character in addition to intelligence. The author believes this is possible and would pay for itself many times over.
