WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.320 A rod or is it the goobers. The goobers deliver. 2 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.320 I deliver based on the topics that I think you're 3 00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.880 doing or are doing. Huh, but right now they could 4 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:14.560 wake up a little. 5 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.760 They need to wake up. I don't know what's going on. 6 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.640 I feel it out. If I feel like you're done 7 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.440 with a topic, I'll move on. If I feel like 8 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.719 something will get you into a good topic, I contribute, 9 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.160 or let a googer contribute. 10 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.600 No, so you say we do have talkbacks but you're 11 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.000 not using them. Well, it's all about quality and direction 12 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:36.600 of the show. 13 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.880 Oh so, so we do have talkbacks, but you're not 14 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.039 using them. 15 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.880 Editorial decisions. Okay, well, don't you worry. 16 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.000 We've got a few butt but overall, the overarching theme 17 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.799 wake up, goobers. 18 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.000 You heard the drill, sergeant, wake up, wake up. That's right. 19 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.079 I would say it's Californians, but I would say it's Californians, Washingtonians, 20 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:11.920 Colorado's Illinois, Massachusetts, I mean all of the sanctuary states. 21 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:19.959 Oregon as all of those citizens, and they're foul fellow 22 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.159 travelers obviously, you know, fly Mexican flags, burned cars, attacks, 23 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.480 attack the cops, loot rob burn whatever they're going to do. 24 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.040 All of what's called part of the mostly peaceful protests 25 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.840 against the immigrations and Customs enforcement roundups. 26 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.040 There's not very much attention being paid to. 27 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:50.560 Who these apparently meritorious undocumented people are in real life 28 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.159 in this country. First, let's dispel the notion that they're 29 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:03.200 all Mexicans, and California is not all Mexicans. My weekend 30 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.079 producer Michael and I, who happens to be Hispanic. He 31 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.280 and I were talking about this about how he can't 32 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.960 understand as a Mexican himself, as an American citizen but 33 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.520 of Mexican descent, he can't understand why the flying of 34 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.360 the Mexican flag seems to dominate everything. 35 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.120 Well, I think there's a lot more. 36 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:33.719 I'm not an immigrant, but absent immigration, American would not 37 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.639 be the country that we know that it is. If 38 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.680 it were not for the immigrant population in the country, 39 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.159 the legal immigrant population in this country, the United States 40 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.719 would look like I don't know, Japan, old and aging. 41 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.520 But still there are likely more foreign born people in 42 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.960 the United States today than at any time in our 43 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.639 entire history. And there's a chart that I found, and 44 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.560 I'll try to go through the chart in a minute. 45 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.759 But I don't want to go directly into the numbers yet. 46 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.680 I want to add more of a framework before I 47 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.240 get into some of the specifics. 48 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:19.080 But legal immigrants in America work more. 49 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:27.159 They have a higher workforce participation rate compared to native 50 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.039 born Americans. You thought I was going to say compared 51 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.800 to illegal aliens, but no, legal immigrants. Those who came 52 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:45.879 here lawfully proper visas became legal citizens, naturalized citizens. They 53 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.960 have a higher workforce participation rate compared to native born Americans, 54 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.639 and they have higher educational attainment. Indeed, there are only 55 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.560 two places that I can find in the entire world 56 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.639 that the world's lead. The inventors want to be in. 57 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.400 Two places that if if you're an inventor, if you 58 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.400 have that kind of brain, that kind of mentality, and 59 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.000 or you're an innovator. I shouldn't just say inventor, but 60 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.199 you're an innovator. There are only two places in the 61 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.399 world that you want to go to, Switzerland and the 62 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.639 United States. If you try to put the United States 63 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.439 of America on a chart with all of the other 64 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.959 countries of the world when you compare significant inventions, you 65 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.079 can't because the number in the United States is so 66 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.600 high that it pops off any chart you might put together. Immigrants, 67 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:44.279 legal immigrants come to this country to thrive. But I 68 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:50.800 remember I rule about but this wave of uncontrolled immigration, 69 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.279 like those that washed over the country during the Biden administration, 70 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.959 those waves have implications for the country that we cannot ignore. 71 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.879 So let's step back for just a second and look 72 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:11.199 at Europe. There can be little doubt that the millions 73 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:17.879 of Muslim invaders are changing Europe. And it's not just 74 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.240 that Muhammad happens to be the number one baby name 75 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.519 in the United Kingdom and has been climbing through the 76 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.319 top ten for the past almost decades since twenty sixteen. 77 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:35.040 It's that increasingly certain Muslim populations in Europe are not 78 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:43.120 integrating into the host country. Here's a huge difference, and 79 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.399 this does show up in the numbers that the European 80 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.879 Union is willing to collect, because they're not willing to 81 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.639 collect all the numbers. But from the numbers that the 82 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.319 EU is willing to collect about what they refer to 83 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.759 as migration, here's one that does show up in Europe today. 84 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.240 In the EU twenty seven, if you are foreign born 85 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.800 and if you're not foreign born from another EU state. 86 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.680 In other words, you're not born in Switzerland and you're 87 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.959 now living in Brussels. You're not born in Germany and 88 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.680 you're now living in the UK. But if you're not 89 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.920 foreign born from another EU state, in other words, if 90 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.639 you're born outside the EU and you're a young person, 91 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.160 you are twice as likely as young people from the EU, 92 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.319 twice as likely as young people from the EU to 93 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.040 be neither in employment in other words, to be unemployed, 94 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.759 nor to be in education or any sort of training. 95 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:55.079 You're just being, You're just living. I'm always fascinated in 96 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.199 this country, whether it's something I see on television or 97 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.199 I see when I'm driving around Colorado. People who seem 98 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.720 to have nothing to do. And I'm not talking about, 99 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.160 you know, your eighty five year old grandfather. I'm not 100 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:19.959 talking about your obviously disabled, you know, crazy uncle. I'm 101 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.839 talking about say eighteen to thirty five year olds or older, 102 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.240 you know, maybe slut let's say eighteen to fifty five, 103 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:37.800 who are just wandering around, or they're just sitting in 104 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:45.959 their neighborhood, or they're just out. And I know, for example, 105 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.319 I've got weird hours, right, so I'm here every morning, 106 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.480 you know, way before six o'clock and then boom, I'm 107 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.040 at here at ten o'clock. And while many people think 108 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.199 that my day is done, no, my days not anywhere 109 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.240 near done. But it also gives me the flexibility that, 110 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.480 for example, I need to you know how much I 111 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.800 love the garage, Well, I gotta go by and see 112 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.240 Paul at the garage when I finish here, because i 113 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.120 need a few things done on the beamer. And I'm 114 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.439 also probably gonna go have the beamber detailed today because 115 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.920 I'm gonna park it in the garage for a couple 116 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.319 of days ago. I'm gonna be using the jeep for 117 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.600 some other stuff, so, you know, so I'm gonna be 118 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.879 out and about. Well, people may look at me and go, 119 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.319 what's that old guy doing? Running around not doing it? 120 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.079 Why is he outworking? So I get that people have 121 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:37.519 different schedules, but to be blunt, there are certain areas 122 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.279 that I would say are of a lower demographic where 123 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.559 you can drive around and you'll find people loitering at 124 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.399 the convenience store, loitering in just in it on the 125 00:08:52.399 --> 00:09:00.120 street block, not seemingly employed gainfully or doing anything. And 126 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.720 my caveat is Okay, so maybe they work odd hours, 127 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.559 but I don't really believe that because they just at 128 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.399 any time of day you can find these groups of people. 129 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.919 So going back to the EU, because this is where 130 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:21.320 we can find some good stats on this again in 131 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.919 Europe today, in the U twenty seventh, in the EU 132 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.240 twenty seven, if you're foreign born, and if you're not 133 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:32.639 foreign born from another EU state, if you're born outside 134 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.080 the EU and you're a young person, you are twice 135 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.279 as likely as a young person in the EU to 136 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:44.559 be unemployed and not going to school or to any 137 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.120 sort of training. You are much more likely to be 138 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.279 what they describe in these EU stats as being outside 139 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:58.240 of society. You're not a productive member of society. You're 140 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:04.240 living off your leechs on society. You have not joined, 141 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:08.519 you have not assimilated. Now that's not true of our immigrants, 142 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.480 of our legal immigrants, you do not find that they 143 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:17.919 are neither employed nor in education or training. They're actually 144 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.480 doing that now in addition to be on a slow 145 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.440 road to nowhere, neither in employment or in education or 146 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:33.960 in training. And in fact, the EU actually has an 147 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:40.799 acronym for that, neither in employment or in education and 148 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:46.879 training need in ee T euro needs. So these are 149 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.360 Europeans that are neither in employment nor in any sort 150 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.519 of education or training euro needs. So I'm going to 151 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.519 refer to euro needs for a minute. Eural needs are 152 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:05.399 likely to nurture grievances, to complain more than their immigrant 153 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:10.799 parents about prejudice, to perceive all these societal injustices directed 154 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:16.000 their way. Everybody's against them, everybody's out to get them. Now, instinctively, 155 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.759 if you've been paying attention, you know that's true. That 156 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.000 in part is that's where the angry crowds of FAMAS 157 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.559 supporters are coming from inside the United Kingdom or France 158 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.279 or Germany or anywhere else for that matter. It may 159 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:37.000 well be where the new found hostility to Israel and 160 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.799 support for an institution in government, governance free Palestinian state 161 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.960 is coming from. Now, I don't think we should have 162 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.879 any doubt that this will, over time do anything but 163 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:54.000 transform the Europe that we know into a Europe that 164 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:59.440 we do not know. Now America is still different, at 165 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:03.399 least for the moment, because I think that assimilation is 166 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.879 still achievable, and the overwhelming cohorts from the New World, 167 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.960 just Central and South America are not so terribly dissimilar 168 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.799 from say, the Mexicans that dominated illegal immigration into the 169 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.440 United States until about around two thousand and seven. But 170 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.879 there are some critical differences that require our attention. And 171 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:30.639 I want emphasized too that while I do believe this 172 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.440 assimilation is still achievable, I actually think that our own 173 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:42.000 government and all the NGOs that we fund, actually discourage 174 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:49.639 assimilation because if you're not required to go into education 175 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.879 or into a training program, if you're not required to work, 176 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.200 because you get all of these freebies so that you 177 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:02.879 can loiter around your neighborhood, become more isolated, and assimilation 178 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.279 becomes less and less likely the more that goes month 179 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.120 to month, year to year to year. So I would 180 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:19.120 have described to you some of the numbers that in 181 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:24.080 terms of legal immigrants were or foreign born people foreign 182 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:30.720 born citizens. To put it precisely, America may never have 183 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.600 had as high a percentage of immigrants in our now 184 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:40.440 national population as we do right now. For example, going 185 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.919 all the way back to eighteen fifty, there were about 186 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.639 eight point seven percent of the some twenty two million 187 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.559 people that were in the country, about eight point seven 188 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:59.720 percent were immigrants, and that steadily rose through about nineteen 189 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.480 ten to a high of about fourteen point seven percent. 190 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:11.519 Between say nineteen hundred and nineteen twenty I have about 191 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:18.200 fourteen almost fifteen percent, and then it just dropped all 192 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:25.360 the way down to nineteen seventy when foreign born the 193 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:30.279 percentage of foreign born people in this country decreased to 194 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:36.159 the lowest ever four point seven percent, less than five percent. 195 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:44.360 In nineteen seventy, foreign born numbers in millions was nine 196 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.519 point six million. That was about four point seven percent 197 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:57.639 of the population. Then from nineteen seventy through twenty twenty four, 198 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.759 it is at a almost i would say sixty degree angle. 199 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.399 The chart going almost straight up at a ninety degree 200 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.039 not quite ninety degree, not forty five degrees, but somewhere 201 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:16.000 when you know sixty to seventy degree angle. And from 202 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:21.159 nineteen seventy, when they were about nine point six or 203 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:26.440 nine point five million foreign born citizens in this country, 204 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.360 it's skyrocketed to fifty one point four million. I'm talking 205 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:36.120 about legal foreign born people who are now citizens. It's 206 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.600 skyrocketed to fifty one point four million, which accounted to 207 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:45.240 about fifteen point five percent of the population. There's an 208 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:52.440 astounding number, and it's an astounding increase. And while America 209 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.679 is different than Europe for the moment, and I do 210 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.080 believe that some assimilation is still achievable, but not as 211 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.200 long as the government can keeps putting up roadblocks and disincentives. 212 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.200 Because it's two types. It's an actual roadblock because we 213 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:14.519 don't put together or supply the necessary infrastructure for people 214 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.480 to become legal citizens. We don't have enough immigration judges, 215 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.919 we don't have enough enforcement officers, we don't have enough anything. 216 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:27.519 So that's a roadblock. But there's also a disincentive. And 217 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.240 the disincentive is why become a citizen? Because go back 218 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.240 to the very end of the last hour, and I 219 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.320 just mentioned I also happen to notice that ABC News 220 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.200 carry that same story at the top of the hour 221 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:45.840 that HHS is turning over the Medicaid personally identifying information 222 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:51.279 of illegal aliens who are on Medicaid over to the 223 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.600 Department of Homeland Security. Well, when you think about what 224 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.200 that really is, those are people who are in the 225 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:04.480 country illegally, who you are, at your expense, receiving medicaid. 226 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:10.359 That's the disincentive. Why would you ever become a US citizen? 227 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.599 Particular feear between the ages of eighteen and fifty five, 228 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.200 where that would kick you off Medicaid. And now you 229 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.680 have a job, and now you either have to use 230 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.400 the company, you have to pay for the company provided 231 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.880 insurance where you have to you have to get insurance 232 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.960 on your own. It becomes inherently a disincentive to becoming 233 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:39.119 a citizen. While while assimilation is achievable, we don't encourage. 234 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:44.359 It at all at all. And in so far as 235 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.960 education between legal immigrants and. 236 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.839 Natural boor or American born citizens, those members are astonishing too. 237 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.039 That's next, Michael. 238 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:02.519 I agree, you come, Harry, you should get zero benefits. 239 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.519 If you can't feed yourself, close yourself, put yourself in 240 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.960 a house, tough, you have to leave, go back home. 241 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:18.640 Remembered acts as both a barrier to assimilation and a 242 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:25.599 disincentive to assimilation. And when you don't have assimilation, you 243 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.920 have exactly what's going on in the United Kingdom, and 244 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.359 that's the under destruction of their society. Same as true 245 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.200 in France. You know, the French are so focused on 246 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.599 their culture as they should be. They have a great culture, 247 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.519 they have a great country. I mean there's some stupid 248 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.880 things about it, but they do everything they can to 249 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:54.799 preserve their culture everything from much like Italy does their 250 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.799 cheeses and their wines and everything to make sure that 251 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.920 they're authentic and that they're legit and that you know, 252 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:05.279 you keep counterfeits out of the marketplace, and they and 253 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.640 their way of life, whether you agree with it or not, 254 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.039 their culture is their culture and they're very protective of it. 255 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.400 We seem to just go the route that Germany's going, 256 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.680 or Portugal is going, Spain's going, but in particular the 257 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.880 United Kingdom's going, where the destruction of their culture will 258 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.119 lead to the disintegration of our society. So let's think 259 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:37.559 about this country, because we're still different, at least for 260 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:44.200 the time being, there are critical differences that require our attention. 261 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.559 Today's illegal aliens are increasingly not even high school educated. 262 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.920 The data that I can find suggests that unlike American dropouts, 263 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.119 these folks are in the workforce the American dropouts. They're 264 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.960 in the workforce. They have a different work ethic even 265 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.160 though they don't complete a high school education. But that said, 266 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:17.200 it is notable that this cohort has even fewer skills 267 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.240 than their predecessors. So what does that mean? So let's 268 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.759 take another step back. One of the arguments that supporters 269 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:29.880 of illegal immigration actually make is that by virtue of 270 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:34.960 the nature of the tax system, these illegal aliens pour 271 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:40.559 more into our nation's coffers than they take out. But 272 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.480 that's not easy to reckon all the numbers. No matter 273 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.880 how you slice it, illegals are a net burden on 274 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:54.839 the national fisk. So I found a report, and here's 275 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:59.319 what's in the report. There is considerable disagreement about the 276 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.039 fiscal imp of immigration in the United States. There is 277 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.319 little doubt that that net impact depends upon the age 278 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:12.319 and educational attainment of immigrants. But calculating net present value 279 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.759 of income, tax revenue and public benefits streams is difficult, 280 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.559 not only for reasons of modeling complexity, but for the 281 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.880 assumptions and body as we see here, Daniel D. Martine 282 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.720 of the Manhattan Institute and David Beer the Cato Institute 283 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.319 arrive at dramatically different estimates of the net fiscal impact 284 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.759 of immigration by age and education of immigrant. 285 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.759 Cohorts, even though their work. 286 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.839 Commences at the same starting point and relies on the 287 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:51.359 same data sources. Both agree, however, that migrants with no 288 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.279 more than a high school degree when taken as a whole, 289 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.960 costs the country more in public benefits than they can 290 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:07.279 contribute in taxes. So the Manhattan Institute and CATO, even 291 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:09.960 though they wander around different ways as they go through 292 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.799 their study, come to the same conclusion that illegal aliens 293 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.640 that don't have anything other than or less than a 294 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.440 high school degree, taken as a whole, costs the country 295 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:26.119 more in public benefits than they contribute in taxes. Now, 296 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.319 am I being nerdy? Of course I'm nerdy. But does 297 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.039 it create an uglier picture of illegal immigration? Then we've 298 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.599 been led to believe by the cabal over the years, 299 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.559 And the answer is yes, of course it does. But 300 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:48.079 there's an even more important byproduct of the Biden wave 301 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:53.519 of all these illegal aliens. If you like me and 302 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.759 these studies believe that you know legal immigration is is 303 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.640 good and great good for our country, and that diversity 304 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:05.960 is actually a strength, and that we should have a better, 305 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:11.920 stronger system of legal immigration that continues to sustain the country, 306 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.079 then you ought to know that Biden screwed us, or 307 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.480 whoever it was rating the country screwed us and screwed 308 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:27.000 us big time. Support for legal migration, legal immigration, immigration 309 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:32.200 to the country has dropped like a like a brickoff 310 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.039 of building. And the cause of that drop is the 311 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:43.799 unrestricted open border that prevailed when you know, demented Joe 312 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:49.720 was president. Now, is that the right reaction? Maybe not, 313 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:54.039 but it's far from surprising. And you can bet your 314 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.000 bottom dollar that the riots that are spreading from the 315 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.880 People's Democratic Republic of California, for example, are not going 316 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:00.880 to help. 317 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:04.759 This is. 318 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:13.480 These findings are eye opening. We now have more a 319 00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.240 higher proportion of foreign born in the United States, mainly 320 00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:20.000 legal but also including illegal. We have a higher proportion 321 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.240 of foreign born in the United States than we even 322 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.799 had it back in the eighteen nineties. We've never been 323 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.039 where we are now in terms of the total proportion 324 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.559 of foreign born in this country. And another thing which 325 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:39.759 is important is that legal immigrants have a higher educational 326 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:45.559 profile than native born Americans and certainly more than illegal aliens. 327 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.480 Illegal aliens a much lower educational profile. And then another 328 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.759 point to emphasize is that the United States is an 329 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:01.359 economy that really does depend upon foreign born labor, including 330 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:06.319 sadly illegal labor, and just snapping our fingers and saying 331 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.039 be gone is not going to be quite as easy. 332 00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:14.119 From an economic standpoint, as we might think the surge 333 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.200 of the illegal immigration, the border chaos that was deliberately allowed, 334 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.200 deliberately instigated border chaos, and the Biden administration had a 335 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:28.960 huge impact on public support for all immigration, including legal immigration. 336 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.240 And I don't know that we could have done a 337 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:40.920 much more brilliant job of actually poisoning the average American 338 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.880 support for legal immigration than what Biden did over the 339 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.240 last four years. And that's going to take some repairing, 340 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.279 and it's going to and I wanted to be repaired 341 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.559 because I do believe that. Look, we go back to 342 00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:58.279 the point I made at the very beginning of the 343 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:04.319 hour about if you're an exceptionally smart person anywhere in 344 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.680 the world and you have an idea for an invention, 345 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.279 or you maybe you already have a small company in 346 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:17.720 some foreign country, but you know that you can make 347 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:23.279 that company bigger, stronger. You just need to do some innovation. 348 00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.240 There are only two places in the world that those 349 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:31.680 people want to go, Switzerland and the United States. Now 350 00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.720 why would that be Well, primarily one, We're the largest 351 00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:39.000 economy in the world. So if you're going to come here, 352 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:44.359 we mostly and I emphasize the word mostly, make it 353 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.759 easy for you to come here and to innovate and 354 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.640 to grow and become as big as you want to. 355 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.200 And then you can take that company, and while you 356 00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.440 may still stay in the United States, you can take 357 00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.920 whatever product or services that company provides, make it international, 358 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.319 make a transnational, and you can take it back to 359 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.480 your small, little crabhole country that you came from, and 360 00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:09.839 you can improve your own country while making this country 361 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:13.319 even stronger itself. The same is true in Switzerland too. 362 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:24.799 It's it's just difficult to find reliable data about all 363 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.160 of this stuff, and using whatever AI apps that I 364 00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.720 use to try to find that, it takes time and 365 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:39.240 effort to do it. But with the wave of hostility 366 00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:44.240 to immigration, legal and illegal right now, which does seem 367 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:51.160 like an anomaly, you you know, think back historically. I 368 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.519 always think going back historically is important. We had a 369 00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.240 huge surge of legal immigration in the country in the 370 00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:03.359 first Gilded Age eighteen eighties, eighteen nineties, nineteen hundreds. At 371 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.319 the same time that we had that huge surge, we 372 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.920 also had even at that time, growing anti migration movements, 373 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:16.000 and we came within a hair of basically stopping foreign 374 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.160 immigration into the country in nineteen oh five, we came 375 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.880 very close to it what finally stopped foreign immigration into 376 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:29.000 the country World War One, but then after the war 377 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:29.759 didn't let up. 378 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:30.839 After the war. 379 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.160 In the early nineteen twenties, we had very strict legislation, 380 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.440 mostly a lot of it's still in effect, limiting foreign 381 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.799 immigration in the United States that's never been revisited or 382 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.440 changed until the mid nineteen sixties. What we're living with 383 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.839 now didn't start until really the nineteen seventies after that legislation. 384 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.960 But again, those who came here legally after that change 385 00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:01.039 in legislation have proved to be incredibly productive citizens. 386 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:02.880 That we ought to be welcoming more of. 387 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.960 But we're too busy right now because of the tidal 388 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.759 wave of illegal immigration. We're not focused on trying to 389 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:16.079 make certain that the legal pathway for those people that 390 00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:20.559 we really do want to come here have the resources 391 00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.839 and that we have the infrastructure in place that would 392 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.640 allow them to come here. And I think it's something 393 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:31.319 that Trump needs to focus on as much as deporting 394 00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:36.079 the worst of the worst and continuing the success and 395 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:40.000 starting in stopping the flow of illegal immigration of the country. 396 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.039 At the same time. The title is deportation Flights reach 397 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.079 highest level under Trump so far, and it goes back 398 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.559 to May of twenty four when it showed these are 399 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.960 number of flights per week and it was just slightly 400 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.920 more than twenty back in May of twenty twenty twenty four, 401 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:06.240
