Yes, being born in the US is a gift many Americans take for granted. So many people come here wanting to make America better and have a better life. Most immigrants work harder, pay taxes and follow the rules (and don’t even get tax returns because they are illegal). afraid for the SS system isn’t done by illegals lol, it’s usually done by white US born Americans.

Don't ask Americans to put you back, they'll just blob you down somewhere near New Zealand, just have them give you to Canada or Mexico, they know where you were.

If anyone tries to argue that we should make it harder at really wouldn't make any sense because you're getting more of what you don't want I wonder why people don't b**** about why isn't immigration system fixed

Honestly, a GOP talking point is how illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes. But you’d think they’d like making the system easier to become a citizen,, you know, so they can pay taxes. Also, native born citizens cost a country much more than immigrants. Shaun the UKpostsr made a good example: Imagine two people: an American, and someone born in another country, who eventually immigrates to the US and gets a job in the exact same position as the first person. They pay the same taxes, live in similar circumstances, and die. Who is more beneficial and who is more of an economic drain? The immigrant didn’t get his education and childhood from American funding, they got it from their birthplace. So technically, an American born in the US is more of an economic burden than the immigrant in this instance.

I'm currently waiting for my green card. Came to the US under an "L" Visa. It means you were transferred by your company. In my case, my wife was transferred. My visa allows me to work in the US without the need of sponsorship whatsoever. However, I still need a document called EAD - Employment Authorization Document. You have to apply for an EAD and, depending on your visa type, you have a different set of documents and rules. It took me about 4 months to get my first EAD. And another year and a half to find a job in my area of expertise - IT. Before that, I walked dogs, did Uber, worked as a photographer... The problem is, when the USCIS grants you an EAD, it does have an expiration date. Mine was 2 years from the issuance date. I applied for a new EAD in september 2019. By December, I had to quit my job, because the new EAD weren't issued before the expiration date of my previous EAD. Sooo.... I lost, because I had to quit my job; the government lost, because they weren't collecting my taxes anymore; The company I was working for lost, because they had to go through the hiring process from scratch once again, train a new employee once again. I understand the US has a lot of different issues to address when it comes to immigration. I know it's a challenge to accommodate all of the people who want to live in this country... but there's no other way to put it: Current immigration laws in America are as dumb as America's current president.

It's the party of paradoxes, logical fallacy as policy and xenophobic jingoism You know what's really ironic? Not only is their rhetoric copy pasted from every shit power monger all the way back to Rome.. The major crisis that precipitated the fall of Rome was mishandling immigration (alongside corrupt rich dicks dictating policy and pocketing money, as well as shitty emperors) For near 1000 years they would make them Roman citizens, bring them into the fold, contribute to the empire and not be seen as outsiders Then attilla the hun chased a shit ton of Goths into Roman lands, and they made a deal to become Romans But Rome had a lot of xenophobes, ethnocentric dicks and alienated the Goths, demonized them, gave them zero aid to the point they had to eat dog and horse meat bought from soldiers..so it all crumbled, they got super pissed and instead of becoming massively significant allies, contributing to the empire, it all crumbled apart These cunts don't know shit about history, and they know the cult of personality around them and the followers are just ignorant as fuck too, they don't see the patterns or historical context

@@AnIridescentWolf actually the GOP talking point about how illegal immigrants don't pay taxes is wrong. They do pay income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, etc. In fact, 12 million illegal immigrants contribute $11 billion in tax revenue annually. This is at the same time illegal immigrants can't use single welfare programs and Medicaid. Only service they can use is emergency Healthcare service.

Wait, are you implying by that post that aborted fetuses are 'humans'? And that equating not letting someone into a country is comparable to murder? I'm sure you are not, but your words in that post betray you.

I can't speak for Stirling Stewart, but my interpretation would be that he was comparing fetuses to non-Citizen. Although it's possible there was an afterthough about "increasing population", I beleive it could be a good metaphor for the "yearning to be free"... fetuses could become human (or not, there are natural miscarriages) … and non-Citizen could become great Citizen (or at least working for low wages). Life is not always fair (outside forces can mess it up), but at least it gives some opportunities once in a while.

@@kempkennedy5068 not really that hard to understand. The reason why right wingers say they are against immigration is because the country is full and we can't accommodate them but that reasoning falls apart in that they want to criminalize abortion and exploded the population with a bunch babies that we have to accommodate because they can't work like a immigrant worker can.

@@kempkennedy5068 John got my meaning bang on. Right-wingers insist that the country is full and we should accept no immigration, but that mentality is not commensurate with the comorbid right-wing belief that there should be no abortions because if the country was truly in a population crisis, as they suggest, it would be even more justified to insist upon abortions than it would be to reject immigration because babies are an 18 year investment before they can give back to the economy in any meaningful sense of the term whereas a migrant can begin contributing to the economy even before they become a citizen.

@brajamtho757 : Define human… A Landmark case over here (Tremblay v. Daigle, [1989] 2 SCR 530) focused on the viability of the "to be born child"... so I'll focus on that and that alone to try to show how it's not a simple black or white issue… and it should not be limited to a Yes\No question. Medicaly speaking, before 28 weeks, if the child is born, it is in the severely premature category, but it can technicaly be viable. There are records of at least a child born 21 Week and ketpt alive, however, it is rarely the case before 22 Week. In addition, there are usualy (85% of the time according to a september 2004 study published on the American Academy of Pediatric's website) some serious side effects from the techniques, or neonatal care, used to keep them alive while they finish their developpement (such as occular muscle developpement). I won't comment on "should we impose those side effects on a person?", because that's not a question for me to answer (I've been born about 3 weeks early, or about 35 Week of gestation, so in the fully formed category). As the science progress, the threshold for viability shortens… however, it does not exclude any of the social issues underlying your comment and/or percieved position.

I had a rich friend from china, who was here as an art student. She doesn't work or contribute in any great way. As soon as she finished school, she married a dude who doesn't even like her like that, and she had a green card within less than a year. Her parents paid for everything. She still doesn't contribute anything worthwhile either and has no plans on future education. Its frustrating.

Almost all countries do it.

I recognize the art style in your avatar and I so very much approve.

You can buy legal immigration in New Zealand and many other nations. I'm a liberal but you sound soft-headed. Obviously we want wealthy people to move to the country and bring resources and create jobs.

@Charles Crandall it's a global practice. If you look at many countries immigration policies there are explicit Provisions that have you can create a few jobs and are bringing in a million dollars than you were fast-tracked. That's because it's obvious you're going to be a positive gain for the society. It's just hard-nosed reality. The number of cases compared to the total immigration load is miniscule. It may feel unfair to you, but it's no more unfair than picking the best players first when you are starting a pickup game of sports. If you want to lose, then go ahead and pick the people who you know will be the worst players first.

America let’s more immigrants than any country in the world. Nobody is entitled to immigrate here.

Tbf, Macau is a city, it doesn't really compare. But Bangladesh with over 3000 people/sq.mile opposed to the US with 87 would have a good case for crying.

Full also means what the society can handle on an economical basis.

The metropolitan area of my country's capital, Metro Manila, isn't too far behind at 54,000/sq.mile, but it's also 239 sq.miles with 12 million people. It's an area about 80% of the size of NYC with 50% more people. It also contains 4 of the top 6 most densely populated cities on the planet, with #1 being the city of Manila itself, which is twice as dense as Dhaka, Bangladesh, which is #2 on that list Trump doesn't get to tell me that his country is full.

Ashley Janit family sponsored immigrants aren’t illegal. So what’s your point here?

@crow Context is important, the topic the OP stated was dealing with family migration, or a form of legal migration, to which moron number 1 responded to stop crying about illegals, completely off topic if I'm to believe you as to what moron number 1 was talking about, then someone within the context of OP's comment dealing with legal migration responded as such, then we've got moron number 2 (that's you) playing the semantics game of "oh they didn't say anything about such and such" you don't have to, the context is there in OP's comment dealing with legal migration, why the fuck would you go off topic completely in response to that, who the fuck was crying about illegals anyway? No one was talking about them at all. The overall point here is this people are fucking stupid and many don't understand what is legal and what isn't legal migration, we have moron in chief who's basically saying that all migration is illegal if he deem's it so, except for those nice rich and white folks, then we've got moron's who worship his every word as if it came from god himself, then we've got morons like you who play semantics and excuse the absolutely idiocy of these morons that have infected the country and taken power over it.

Even student visa holders are required to pay social security and Medicare taxes if they work on campus.

It's absolutely insane you're required to pay into a system you're not allowed to benefit from. It's basically robbery.

as graduate assistants we can get all that money back during our declaration of taxes .. which ideally gets you through the 2-3 months that are not paid in Summer.

@@OctEddie In my country (France), we call that "solidarity". Some people, often the ones in good shape, pay for services they do not need (because they're in good shape, physically and financially). We call that solidarity, because one day, when they grow old, every people needs to be helped one way or another. Solidarity : do something out of compassion, not because you find a benefit in doing so. EXCEPT... In my country... immigrants benefit from social security and medicare. Because they're taxed for social security, they have access to it. That, is called common sense, I guess.

This is absolute fucking nonsense. For skilled workers, wages are MUUUUUCH higher in the US and the cost of living is way, WAAAAAAAAY lower than in Norway. (The latter isn't even fucking close). Especially if you want to buy a house/land. But yeah, if you don't have valuable skills/education, then sure, you wouldn't ever want to leave a place like Norway for some place like the US. But if you say work in tech for example? Then you'd have to be the world's absolute biggest dumbass to pick Norway over America.

What are you talking about While housing can be more expensive initially in Norway, the housing market isn’t at current risk of crashing like ours. Plus they have higher average wages by nearly 30,000 dollars and they possess free education and healthcare for nearly everybody Norway also has a higher life expectancy, quality of life, literacy rate, and lower crime The question isn’t why would you not come to America but why the hell you would come. Trust me after living here my whole life I’d be out of here with a snap.

I agree. It would be nice if he proposed solutions though. Anyone can do commentary complaining about the problem.

As a legal immigrant of 27 years I can attest to the accuracy of the segment .A lot of Americans don't know much about the legal immigration system simply because they have not had to encounter it ever.So a lot of lazy assumptions float off the top of the head .

Because they weren't the only ones who who were trying to do that. DUH!

If that is your understanding of liberty I have to quote your so called "president": "saaaaad". A bigger one? Maybe a golden one of mr Trump? You know the word "hubris"? It is a key topic in greec play for example and it never ends well. Without immigration and refugees the USA wouldn't be the powerhouse it is now (still). But your society is in decline, and the more you try to isolate your country, the worse it will get. Examples of that had been shown here, like the Indian business guy. At least you admitted with your reply that you lost the moral highground.

Look at the catastrophe that immigration created in France...

@Ethan Steel _"Thanks to immigration the US is in a constant state of inner chaos and bloodshed."_ You mean due to your gun regulations? >ou know that most gun shootings had been done by american citizens, not refugees or immigrants _"Communities separate by race and origin"_ A problem adressed in this show and much older than recent immigration, thanks to good old racism _"That european countries are starting to get a taste of us thanks to them opening themselves up to mass immigration."_ 1. apples and pears, europe has complete different frame conditions, such as population density 2.) Mass immigration is not our fault, but numbers dropped massivly I don't say it is not a problem, but it is a problem that can be handled 3.) again here is the same difference to be made as in the US between legal and illegal immigration _"We aren't great because of immigration."_ So, your ancestors didn't migrate to the US? Or take Henrey Ford....an immigrant Tesla Even good old Einstein Or, well the Nazis that build your rockets ^^ At least most volunteered to go to the US, otherwise they would have ended in the USSR _"WW2 gave us an unfair economic advantage that we capitalized upon."_ No doubt that this is a major factor, but without immigration your country wouldn't even exist, and wouldn't even have been a major industrial power back BEFORE WW1 already And sure that your military ensures your global position, for now. But china, india, brazil are growing fast and the influence of the USA shrinks, especially due to a loss in "soft power", aka diplomacy.

brajamtho757 why?

@@pillington1338 Too high or too low is subjective. Facts are that the US has more legal immigrants than any other country (46.6 million of them) Germany, another major immigrant country has 12 mil by comparison. Then again, the US is much bigger. The US population is 14.3% immigrant, while Germany is 14.9%. Facts aside, the US is ridiculously generous when it comes to immigration by about any standards you can measure (apart from just 'feelings'). When the economy is booming, as it is at the moment, this seems like a non-issue. When recessions hit, US born citizens begin to lose needed jobs to many with visas, etc. (Again, speaking of legal immigration atm). So it is a fair debate to ask what is 'too high or too low' by the citizens of the US. For most, this gets conflated with illegal immigration, which is very different and deserves no mention in a debate when speaking of legal immigration.

@brajamtho757 Fine by me, if that helps them get on their feet. Looking at our economy, welfare isn't one of the pressing issues. Healthcare, huge amounts of military spending, that's where the money is going. Maybe we should be asking why people need welfare in a rich country, and we'll find that minimum wage throughout much of the country is not enough to sustain a person's needs, healthcare is too expensive and bankrupts some people, higher education is too expensive for most people, housing costs are rising much faster than wages. If our economic issues around those things were improved, more people could stand on their own two feet without government assistance.

@brajamtho757 That percentage is misleading. It's 63% for illegal immigrants and around 50% for legal ones. It's true that they use welfare at higher proportions than the native born population. But because their numeric total in the us is smaller (13-14%) the amount of welfare they're using is also smaller. Their welfare accounts for 6.5-7% of the total US population. Roughly 25% of the US is on welfare. Meaning 30% of the people on welfare are immigrants vs 70% for native born citizens. It wouldn't make sense to go after immigrants when it comes to welfare when the VAST MAJORITY of recipients are native born citizens. This also ignores the contributions immigrants make in strengthening the economy. Their presence increases the demand for housing, jobs, goods and services, reviving the economic activity of dead or struggling communities. They also work crucial jobs native citizens are less likely to engage in. And if you're going to include welfare stats you have to include the fact that immigrants are more likely to be business owners or entrepreneurs than native born citizens. In total they account for roughly 30% of entrueprenurs despite making up only 13% of the population. They make up 51% of startups worth over $billion. They earn some $65 billion annually and hire some 14 million people. The amount they contribute to the economy, the number of workers they hire, the jobs they create, and their revival of communities far exceeds the amount they're taking through welfare programs. They're also 40% less likely to commit crime than native born citizens, meaning we save expenses on paying for police activity and jails with them here. "Too many" or "too little" when it comes to immigration is subjective. And I agree the issue is far more complicated than it's being made out to be.

Unfortunately you don't have the right to tell someone that they can't come here because they need to fix their own country, especially since the US is partly responsible for why some of these countries are the way they are. That's an extremely daunting task and people may not even have access to the resources to do that there. It's easier to succeed in a place that will help you succeed than it is in a place that's working against you. That also pretends that EVERY would be leader leaves the country which isn't true. Most citizens stay in their home country. And many of these immigrants who find success here do pay if forward by donating to or initiating programs in their home countries. If they use welfare you want them kicked out. If they don't and they help our society prosper you STILL want them kicked out. But you can't have it both ways in a country literally MADE of immigrants

You are lucky, this year it's even hard to get a freaking OPT.

@brajamtho757 Dude do you have any idea how much s well-educated immigrant can contribute to the economy and how many of them are forced to move to Canada and Australia?

@brajamtho757 It's one thing to forcefully take someone from their countries as you described. It's another totally different thing that they made a decision and rejecting it. It's just stupid.

@brajamtho757 I believe in the freedom of movement. Why shouldn't you mind your own business and stop managing others' life?

brajamtho757 are you native american? If not then why did your ancestors leave their country?
