He proved that mass immigration into the US cannot put a dent in world poverty, the proof is, We been doing it this whole time, and havent put a dent in it. The proof is we are living it.
Again, what's the guy arguing for? It seems pretty clear he's against immigration to the US, and then very loosely ties it to economic conditions in the immigrants' home countries, as if that were ever a major focal point in the immigration debate.
The entire presentation was an oversimplistic way of getting idiots to agree with his stance on immigration, and reinforce the beliefs of the idiots who already agree with it.
Representing people with gumballs, for ****'s sake...and representing different regions of the world with jars of equal size when each region is vastly different from the other in terms of agriculture, commerce, infrastructure, total land area vs. population, etc.
And how will it help the people that are already here competing for the same jobs, qualifying for the same social programs, and government assistance, the people that have been here, not just got here cause well "I deserve to be in America."
The gumbballs were representative of the numbers currently in use in immigration statistics. You hate visual aids I guess cause they smack you hard with reality?
Helping a small fraction of people of worlds populace, but hurting the vatly more people here based on our size vs the world, sounds like a good idea to you?

So you like the idea of bringing people here from other countries to take the job of the people that are already here struggling to find them?
So the illegal who works in the fields, takes care of peoples kids, cleans table etc now needs to compete with the people that just showed up cause we cant control our borders or reduce who we let in?
If you stand in line at a store to buy someone, and someone cuts in, what do you do, just ignore it?
If the choice is them being here creating a slightly more competitive low wage job market, or leaving them to starve and die, I will take the more competitive low wage job market.
Are you actually concerned about the job market of illegal immigrants? If one illegal immigrant takes the job of another illegal immigrant, why does that concern you. In both cases, an illegal immigrant has a job. One is no more deserving than the other.
So if you ask them to move to the back of the line, why cant the people that just got here move to the back of the line, so the people waiting in line to do it legally get priority? They were here first.
