What a shitty situation we're in where this is 'good' news. 70%+ of Americans have forgotten what's inscribed on Lady Liberty's base. Give me your tired, your poor...
Any other situation, I would say that this is terrible news. Our immigration system is fucking broken, and if putting extra weight on the break makes it more noticeable, than put the fucking weight on it. Not to mention the moral duty to provide refuge for those fleeing any kind of circumstance.
But we're also staring down a double-barrel shotgun of fucking fascism at the moment, so the opinions of our 70% of 'very concerned individuals' have to fucking matter in policy choices.
God, I hate humanity some days.
God, I hate humanity some days.
Only some days? Optimist.
Some days I just try not to think about it.
What the ever-loving fuck is that absolutely inane dogshite?
I can see why they turned comments off. You really buy into that? Like, that's the kind of thing my youth pastor in an evangelical church would've shown to all the kids when I was in 6th grade. "The GLOBALIST ELITE are TRICKING US into TAKING IN IMMIGRANTS who DESTROY OUR GOOD GODLY GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS (that we also want to defund for the poor, but ignore that for now)"
Just numbers. You don't like numbers? Empirical evidence not your cup of tea? Very well then, be happy with your feelings.
YouTune videos are not empirical evidence. You can quite literally say whatever you want and show whatever you want on there with no peer review.
"Just numbers" in the same way Ben Shapiro saying "Facts don't care about your feelings" has any validity - ie in the abstract, but not in context. But hey, if you're convinced because "One gumball small, many gumballs LARGE", God forbid I be the one to break you of your happy, simplified world.
Like I said, enjoy having your feelings as the foundation of your knowledge.
You have fun peddling immigration bullshite that no economist, sociologist, or policy wonk takes seriously, but is wildly popular for some strange and entirely unknown reason amongst the alt-right.
So, you are going to pigeon hole data because you have no data to refute it. Plus,one wonders if you understand the data in the first place.
Your link has to do with the US economy, which is fine but only true as of right now.
However, the link I provided isn't about that. It makes two points.
-
If the goal of immigration is to affect world poverty it will fail due to the scope of the problem.
-
In order to fight world poverty, attack it where it's at.
Both of these data sets are Not contradictory
Your link has to do with the US economy, which is fine but only true as of right now.
However, the link I provided isn’t about that.
Oh, it's NOT about America despite the speaker discussing American immigration and American immigration limits, and EXPLICITLY MENTIONS economic and infrastructure pressure as for a reason why America absolutely could not take in 2 million people per year. Yes. That's definitely a believable take from someone who watched the video.
Are you even trying?
There are economic implications of absorbing greater populations. Why wouldyouthink there are not? Schools, hospitals, roads, etc. all must be increased. And as the vid points out, you still don't have an effect on world poverty by doubling immigration
That’s sounds great to me. More schools will help educate you dumbasses. More funding for hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure sounds awesome in our current state of disrepair. And like I said before the goal of immigration is not to end poverty, its to have people move. They are separate issues that have some overlap.
So now you are admitting that the video discusses American immigration and economics, great. Glad we could clear up that much. Perhaps the next step should be "How many of those people want to move to the US?" or "What are the effects of emigration on the countries who they are emigrating from?"
The goal of immigration is to have people move to a better place then they were in. It has nothing to do with poverty other than a large amount of people emigrate because of poverty. They come to America because of the opportunity to not be in poverty anymore.
Immigration and poverty are two separate issues that you are trying to smash into one issue, in order to make one seem like it’s bad or worse than it is.
It would be more beneficial for them to change where they are at. We have a way to do this through foreign aid. For instance, a medical doctor can immigrate to the US, but their home country needs doctors too. Yet, we wait until there is desperate need and then step in.
This only works when aid is allowed to be delivered. Just look at what isreal is doing to Palestinians. They are denying international aid and killing international aid workers. And in many cases people immigrate to the US to learn how to be a doctor, for example, then go back to their home country to practice and teach there. Not all immigration is permanent too.
