I am struggling with the premise of this post. The analogies don’t seem to land very well

There are several premises:

1. CMU needs immigration to remain a top school.

2. His children will be in the top 1% of 1% of 1% to qualify for top schools.

3. His children will move away if CMU does not remain a top school...

4. and that would be bad, so bad that it justifies perpetual rent stress for 100 million Americans, an actual impact of immigration.
