This is stupid and boring. A person's academic prowess should not enable them to migrate and this feels tangentially related to present anti immigrant sentiment while being unable to rebuff prejudice of the masses. A single person is always meaningless.
Edit: Also appealing to the laurels of the past by producing a stack of papers is just... Weird.
i truly see no way to interpret this image as "anti immigration", it is comparing paper stack size to show how ridiculous it is just to enter one part of the earth.
also, academic prowess (when thinking about immigration through a bourgeoisie perspective) is one of the best measures of immigration status due to percieved financial gain.
