"The European Union faced an unprecedented influx of asylum seekers during the 2014–2016 refugee and migration crisis. The admitted refugees pose a critical challenge, but at the same time represent an opportunity for the host countries’ public finances. If the fiscal balance of immigration is positive, then migrants become net contributors to public budgets, helping to alleviate the aging related fiscal burden. However, we argue that this is highly unlikely to happen with refugees entering extensive European welfare states, at least in the short and medium term. By reviewing the existing empirical literature, we demonstrate that the research on the fiscal effects of refugee (or non‐Western) immigration almost uniformly supports the conclusion that the fiscal balance is going to be negative. The noble aims of humanitarian obligation to accept refugees seem to be in conflict with the pragmatic economic interest – a fiscally beneficial immigration – this time."

Within Britain, allegations of electoral fraud tend to be more common in areas with large Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities. Within Euroupe more generally, immigrants from countries with high rates of cousin marriage are less likely to say it is wrong for a public official to request a bribe. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261379417300811

12% of total genetic variation within humanity is between races:

https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1086/302825
Only 12%? Thats not a lot right?! First of all, consider what 12% actually means. 12% means the average PER snp. 0% on one loci, in a 2 race category scheme, would mean 50/50 chance of being correct in predicting sombody's race. 12% would mean 62% chance of being correct. Only 62%? That's only small if you're ignorant of binomial probability. Use more than one loci, and the likelihood of success goes up. Plugging into a binomial probability calculator, with 2 loci, the chance of being more related to your own race is 38.44%, the chance of being equally related to both is 47.12%, and the chance of being less related to your own race is 14.44%. Using 4 loci, the probability of being more related to your own race is 51% instead of 38%. Using 10 loci, 68%, 100 loci = over 99.9%.
This is exactly what the cluster analyses show. Cluster analyses take a bunch of people and their genetic data, and split people into groups such that within group differences are minimized
and between group differences are maximized. Geography of origin, and the racial categories, correspond to best fit genetic cluster 99+% of the time:

Although liberals have fear-mongered on the effects of concealed carry on violent crime, Gius (2020) finds that concealed carry actually has a negative relationship with violent crime (I.e. more concealed carry means less crime).
