The main takeaways from this is how ignorant we are as a nation, and how xenophobic. The latter is more important for a political discussion. It’s why Fox’s drumbeat about the border works. It’s why immigration issues always have great potential to trip up the center and the left at the polls.

As for our widespread  ignorance in basic areas of knowledge, I blame the complete breakdown of class structure as a system of control and shaming. We celebrate being common, we revel unruliness. That led to the empowerment of stupid people in the realm of knowledge and expertise. It’s cultural decline, and isn’t something easily addressed by government. 

Say that!
