@@SalohcinQE you'd be a very bad lawyer that's forsure

Countering illegal immigration, lying actors, frauds, scammers, gang members, smugglers and people with bad intentions isn't a systematic problem. These actors still infiltrating America is a systematic problem that should be solved, but GOP (and especially Dems) are too weak to put a decisive end to it. America can't and shouldn't carry the world's burden on their shoulders. Anyone who've seen the migration crisis in Europe and who've got a responsible stance on the matter knows this. But Oliver and his fans love to virtue signal about compassion and openness, because they don't have to reap the consequences or acknowlege the negative side-effects, ever.

And as history has shown many times for children/vulnerable people in similar situations, they are probably being abused and raped by their captors. If you aren't doing anything illegal, why do you hide it behind closed doors? It's disgusting what people in positions of power are able to get away with.

'creepy' really is the right word. I really hope they are okay in there, given what priests apparently do when left alone with children for long enough, I shudder to imagine what quick-to-anger contractors do.

It's there to be used for legitimate case of persecution on the basis of race, religion, political opinion, etc.. A lot of asylum claims are made on the basis of being a victim of crime, which isn't what the asylum process is for. That's an issue for their local law enforcement.

Just because they did not admit who they were to a stranger trying to forcefully gain access to the children, doesn't mean they're unaccountable to anyone. It's definitely a matter of perspective.

But no by all means, go ahead and throw some gas on that fire...

When it comes down to it you're just pissed that the random man and his cameraman weren't able to wander around showing you a video of the children and their environment, there was some sort of force preventing him from doing so.... If I had to pick a word for it I might call it... Protection.

I am political refugee from formerly socialist country. Sat in refugee camp for 7 months looking for a country that would give me asylum.

Let's turn that sadness into anger, turn that anger into hope, and turn that hope into action👍

This show is the real time chronology of the decline of the US empire.

Back in 2017 I stopped watching this show and the Phillip Defranco show (which are my main sources of news) for about 6-8 months. It was only after I got my job where I try to help people every day that I allowed myself to actively watch things that would make me depressed. Because at least I'm doing my part. I watch episodes like this and wonder when I'll need to take a break again, when will the positivity I try to create not be enough to balance out the negativity of the news.

Seeing beyond the lies is terrifying. The USA is a not much better place for non-whites then Afghanistan, North Korea or Russia in general. It's mind boggling that persons who enforce the American Immigration rules are supposedly human beings. And they are probably proud about each person that they denied asylum for. Shame on you USA.

The U.S. was never intended to be a "melting pot". The statue of liberty and its motto "e pluribus unum", "out of many, one", do *not* celebrate immigration. This has been constantly misconstrued and misrepresented for decades by leftwing, SJW, liberals. The statue opened in 1886 and it was a gift from France to honor a 100 years of American independence from Britain. *It has absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do about how the original 13 colonies came together to form one nation. Not immigrants coming from all over to form one people. Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus", was installed in 1903, a decade and a half after her death. *This poem also has absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do with Lazarus becoming interested in her Jewish ancestry as she heard about the horrific Russian programs of 1881.

I can't remember who said it, but it's been pointed out that the Statue's poem was just as radical when it was put up as it is now. It did not come at a great time for immigrants. They let them in, but they were persistently denigrated and discriminated against.

@@arberiesadiku5636 That still doesn't change the fact that the Statue of Liberty was never intended to represent or celebrate immigrants or immigration. So I really don't get where you're coming from. Unless of course you're one of those people who needlessly go down the unrelated and inappropriate road of Native Americans were here first and we stole their land and slavery and racism, ect, ect. Yes. I know this, understand it, and I don't condone it either. Do the the means justify the ends? Of course not. But I'm not gonna deny the fact that that is exactly how other countries, including how the Native Americans, have fought for and acquired land and how they mistreated other people since the beginning of man kind. No country didn't get to where they are now by playing it nice. Why does the US have to be the only country in the world to feel sorry and apologize for it's past even though every country is guilty of the same things too? I'm not saying what we did was ok it just seems that people like you who go down this road aren't really looking for an apology and aren't really genuine about their morality either. You just want to find some kind of an excuse to hate America. smh....

@@noesunyoutuber7680 Again, Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus", was installed in 1903, a decade and a half after her death. *This poem had absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do with Lazarus becoming interested in her Jewish ancestry as she heard about the horrific Russian programs of 1881. It was progressive, social-justice-oriented coalitions and their activist members who pushed to change the Statue's original meaning and symbol, ie as a symbol of the friendship between France and America, particularly as allies in the American Revolution and celebrating over a 100 years of American independence; it was also seen as an affirmation of republican ideals and a celebration of the end of slavery. The explicit connection to immigrants, in the minds of the general public, came only later-in large part thanks to Lazarus's words that Democratic, leftwing, SJW, liberals pushed for. Anything else that was taught to you is historically inaccurate and completely made up by pro-open-borders advocacy groups. (aka leftwing, SJW, liberals)

@@_BenJaminCroft_ This would be a salient criticism if you, A: Knew Emma Lazarus on a personal level, well enough to assess her intentions, or B: Had the capacity to understand that a symbol, such as the poem, takes its meaning not from the intent of its creator, but from inspiration its observers take from it. The swastika is intended to be a symbol of peace, and in many cultures, is emblematic of the sun. And yet, that's not a particularly relevant definition for western democracies. Sometimes art derives its meaning from the intent of the art, but more commonly, it derives its meaning from the movements it inspires. The statue of liberty, and The New Colossus, have become emblematic of the notion that America has the strength to offer freedom, and the American dream to all who have the strength to land upon her shores. While the poem may not have that meaning for you, and while it may or may not have been Emma Lazarus intent to have her poem interpreted that way; that is entirely and completely the interpretation of those who committed the poem to the statue of liberty.

For decades, U.S. policies of military intervention and economic neoliberalism have undermined democracy and stability in the region, creating vacuums of power in which drug cartels and paramilitary alliances have risen. In the past fifteen years alone, CAFTA-DR - a free trade agreement between the U.S. and five Central American countries as well as the Dominican Republic - has restructured the region’s economy and guaranteed economic dependence on the United States through massive trade imbalances and the influx of American agricultural and industrial goods that weaken domestic industries. Yet there are few connections being drawn between the weakening of Central American rural agricultural economies at the hands of CAFTA and the rise in migration from the region in the years since. In general, the U.S. takes no responsibility for the conditions that drive Central American migrants to the border. U.S. empire thrives on amnesia. The Trump administration cannot remember what it said last week, let alone the actions of presidential administrations long gone that sowed the seeds of today’s immigration crisis. There can be no common-sense immigration “debate” that conveniently ignores the history of U.S. intervention in Central America. Insisting on American values of inclusion and integration only bolsters the very myth of American exceptionalism, a narrative that has erased this nation’s imperial pursuits for over a century. As the British immigrant rights refrain goes, “We are here because you were there.” The adage holds no less true here and now. It’s time to insist that accepting Central American refugees is not just a matter of morality or American benevolence. Indeed, it might be better described as a matter of reparations.” medium.com/s/story/timeline-us-intervention-central-america-a9bea9ebc148

@@1IGG took it out of my mouth there

Cilantro is commonly used in Mexican cuisine... And it's good, very good...

There’s a reason no American ever says “I’m one-quarter English”. English is seen as the default ethnicity. You can be seven-eights English and one-eighth Italian, and you’ll probably call yourself Italian

I would say that joke fell flat, because it can be argued that cilantro is actually good for you. Unlike the English

I think John has the thing that makes cilantro tastes like soap. Because I do like cilantro on tacos.

Cilantro actually tastes good, in addition to being good for you.

He's actually doing America a big favor defending its identity from immigrants and from the leftists commies

There has actually never been a truly communist nation, nor a purely capitalist one. So far, there have only been varying degrees of socialist nations. So the, "commies" you are referring to have never existed. Calling Democrats communists is the equivalent of calling Republicans Nazis. This nation was founded on immigration, so you would have to be a racist, xenophobic hypocrite to deny people the right to immigration.

@@cornyname1577 I was referring to the left in general

@@cornyname1577 people come with their ideology That's what you don't understand and immigration is not a right its a luxury OK if it's a right accept all the immigration lottery applications no you can't Because you know people are actually looking for a country with good economy to leech on Let's talk about France do you think Arabs there care about France and regard it as their country no sir they came with their ideologies and created parallel communities who don't give a fuck about that country actually they see it as an evil because of colonialism and at the same time they leech on the system

@@gnawa3d Why is it considered leeching for people to simply live in a country? Why do you refer to arabs specifically, as if their race determines the content of their character? And why do you think that you deserve more just because of your nationality? That is a quintessentially fascist concept. You just seem like an entitled racist. Also, immigration as a form of escape for helpless refugees (especially children) is not a constitutional right, so I will concede. Although, neither is running water, so maybe it doesn't matter whether or not is was written two and half centuries ago with the intention to be consistently changed.

I would like the country to be welcoming like that again. I want the song "This Land is Your Land" to be true, that this can really be a place where anyone can come.

Don't forget this was a different time of which US had a lot of benefits from immigrants which it by no means have had later on. Look at the youtube video "Foreign Born Population in the U.S. (1850-2019)". Back then US had lots of natural ressources and few people. Thus by becoming more people these natural ressources would at a better extent be extracted and processed. Since 1950 immigration has led US to become a worse country. By importing poor uneducated people it has led to weak labor unions which means worse pay for the lower class workers. As the females also became accustomed to work it meant you almost in an instant doubled the supply of educated middle class people. This led to worse pay of the middle class. Then you have the insane increase of status seeking in the US. Due to this companies like Apple and Amazon has went to get monopolicies and due to the other factors at a crazy extent increased amount of people in poverty. If you want a USA that is good because all of the people is wealthy and happy do not support immigration because you will end up like Bangladesh. If you want a nation that is more prosperous than Norway, where everyone is happy and wealthy you need to stop immigration.

@@sebastianwallin3726 Hold up buddy... Please explain this: "By importing poor uneducated people it has led to weak labor unions which means worse pay for the lower class workers." How on earth does having a bunch of poor, uneducated people weaken the labor unions?? You don't need to be rich or educated to join a union; in fact unions are meant to help such people. The reason labor unions are weaker now than they used to be is because politicians & corporations have been doing everything in their power to weaken unions for decades. Because, surprise, the people in power don't like it when workers actually have the ability to demand better conditions for themselves.

@@littlebunnyfoufou1 That is true.

America is terrifying

@Dzooky P2P It's clear most "conservatives" don't understand what created the rampant violence & problems in the countries the majority of migrants are fleeing. Psst, it started with the good ol' USA.

@Dzooky P2P Except border walls have been tried for decades with no success because the vast majority of illegal immigrants don't enter the country illegally, they outstay their welcome after entering legally. Same with drugs- they enter through legal points of entry hidden in amongst legal goods. Not to mention the fact that, as we have seen on this very show, the wall design that Drumpf has selected doesn't even need a ladder to climb over; Just a good grip and a knowledge of how to climb barred fences. And even if it DID require a ladder, as it has been said in the past, "A 50ft wall just creates a market for 51ft ladders."

@Dzooky P2P we are talking about people seeking for asylum, the border wall means nothing in that specific topic, they are doing legal paperwork. But you are right in the needed war, narcos are not people that you can talk with. I would never get how the right could put a negative connotation in the word progress.

@Dzooky P2P that weird moment when you lived in greece, which as a single country, had twice the amount of refugees seek asylum as the entire USA, yet still managed. ( Sure it makes a huge loss on all the refugees it takes in, but that's why the european union helps out.) So riddle me this, why is the US incapable of handling even half the amount of reguees as a single country, while ironically spending astronomically more money on it?

PS: "because the USA can't make a profit from refugees" is a legit reason. As long as you accept the moral consequences that come from it.

@@Balletified exactly! I mean yeah he was bad with this, but he wasn’t actively trying to make it worse...

Honestly both Biden and Trump suck and we really need some new comers that actually care about the American People.

A clever post once said Conservatives think of people as abstract concepts, and tend to hold principles as more important than people. If something bad happens to a person, they probably deserved it because the principles that caused their suffering were right. That *does end* when they personally know someone, though. Other people are in the abstract, not people they know. Liberals tend to think of all people as people, not abstract concepts of people.
