Lol, this is what you wrote

You are deliberately talking over them. They’re clearly not claiming that all migrants are illiterate or uneducated or ill-prepared for work in Europe. They’re arguing that many are, and those migrants exacerbate our problems. They certainly don’t solve them.

Migrants.

It depends on the nation. The UN collects data. Afghanistan is 62.7% illiterate, for example. Further, Almost all refugees to Denmark have zero Danish language reading and writing skills. They must learn all of these. Slightly more (but shockingly few) have any English reading and writing skills.

Surely it isn't surprising to you that refugees have limited European language skills?

We're talking about immigrants, you made it about refugees you dozy turnip

Both of those statements are congruent. The fact that you think they're not is a damning indictment of the American school system.

Sure, conflating the literacy rate of refugees with all immigrants is my error lol

And I'm not American ffs. I'm from the UK, a third of immigrants to the UK are university students, pretty sure they're literate, ya jabroni
