    The number one reason for 94 million people in America not being in the workforce is age. Children and the elderly tend not to work. 94 million is one-third of the country.

    Typical case of lies, damn lies and statistics that one. Though I did find that other made up statistic implying that there were 50-100 million people nobody noticed around, population estimation is tricky sure but even if they shunned every government service entirely somehow there would still be massive discrepancies in consumption data for a number of basic necessities food, water, occupancy residential property (After adjusting for the population with NFA) etc. Supermarkets for example have massive data-sets giving them a good idea how much average Americans consume (People do know that is what those loyalty card schemes are for right?) so they would probably notice if the market was 15-30% bigger than predicted by their consumption models.

    @@crazy9932 The thing I hate about the left is how you throw words you know nothing about. Fascism was created by Giovanni Gentile. As a form of technocracy, which is particularly communist. However he was very pelo conservative. People often use social issues for left and right even though that makes no sense. Bill Clinton saw the death of the conservative Democrats, before that the south was considered left. Most southern states don't have a right to work laws, big government, high taxes, and welfare. Ironically the south is very left wing, yet because it's slightly racist and doesn't agree with body dysmorphia it's right wing... the biggest flaw with the modern left is the fact that they focus way to heavily on social issues. I'm supposed to believe fascism is right wing... So you become right wing to a point where you're left wing... it doesn't make sense. Anarcho capitalism is as far right as you can go. Laissez faire capitalism is right wing, fascism is left wing. I have a feeling you think Hitler is right wing since he was a white nationalist. Even though Volkswagen was by definition socialist, or coke plants where seized and turned into Fanta plants... 🤔 The problem with the modern left is in the 50s the right silenced the far left. Since the 60s the left has become a reactionary movement, it's never normalized. Likewise the left uses class theory for everything.

    Also the great wall was never meant to keep people; out it was meant to slow down armies trying to invade China. You see, China's population was infinitely more than the Mongol steppes so the Mongols needed to muster a truly massive force very quickly to even have a chance at conquering them, putting up a massive wall was just to delay them long enough for China to raise an army.

    I have mixed feelings about immigration, on one hand I don't want just anyone coming here whenever they want, yet on the other hand I understand that it's more than just a political issue. These are people's lives we're dealt with here. Two of my closest friends are from Mexico. One was born here in Texas but raised in Mexico till adulthood and is a legal citizen, and the other immigrated here illegally when he was 12 years old. Imagine leaving your home country for an opportunity that might not be available to you when you are still a child. He has told me about how he got here, his mother died in Mexico so his family arranged for him to live with an aunt in the US. He had to cross the Rio Grande by himself and was relayed from person to person until he got to where he could meet up with his aunt. This was a child mind you. I can't imagine what that experience was like, and all just because his family wanted him to have the opportunity of being here in the US, and having the opportunity to go to school and get a good job like they advertise in other countries. He told me that before he came here, he imagined the US all looking like the really nice parts of our downtown area, only to find that where he lived now wasn't too much safer than where he lived in Mexico, and he would become a poor, working class immigrant like so many who have taken the same path as him. It's been over 10 years, and he still doesn't have citizenship or any kind of documentation that allows him to be here legally. He wants live the American dream but for the moment is stuck doing window tint with his brother because he won't be able to get work anywhere else other than your basic manual labor, which is exactly the kind of job most people expect from immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. There are plenty of people who want to do well and become one of the success stories among immigrants to the US, but at the same time, there are those who are simply complacent with living here and start to expect things to be handed to them, or worse, bring crime associated with central America with them in order to further their own wealth associated with such crime. Immigration is so much more than a politician issue, and these are real peoples' lives we are affecting, whether it be good or bad to our country, and I feel that's something a lot of people don't take into account. I certainly don't have the answer, but I'm thankful I have the friends I have and am able to see this issue through the lens I have developed.

    I do think that, weird as it can be, much of the immigration comes from 2 primary reasons: 1) the US is the number one economy in the world; 2) propaganda: American media is extremely influencial (so much so that pretty much every kid poor as they may be, can sing in English in Brazil). Halloween is a known holiday in Brazil, many of us know about July 4th as much as September 7th (the Brazilian independence day), and the US blasts at max volume, to every corner of the world, how much "freedom" they have and how much better they are. Brazilians, even today, think the US is a paradise because of all university programs, the better currency, rich high-profile celebrities, better income, and generally a lot more vocal power. We watched the presidential elections, for fucks sake! WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UNITED STATES, BUT WE WATCH YOUR (or rather, the government's) UPS AND DOWNS BECAUSE YOU ARE OUR KINGS. I ONLY KNOW IT ISN'T LIKE THAT because I know English, I watch videos like these and I have interacted directly with Americans. But I am, in every measure, an exception; the vast majority of Brazilians (as well as... pretty much everyone else not living in English-speaking countries, specially poor countries) don't generally know the issues the US faces. The housing crisis, discrimination, abusive cops, less than optimal health system (specially for illegal immigrants who definitely cannot pay for private care and normally live on donations/charity or just straight out die). If United States merely STOPPED fucking blasting propaganda, there wouldn't be so many immigrants. But that isn't a choice, because otherwise the population wouldn't be brainwashed into thinking the same thing, e.g. the woman stating on national news how much better "American citizens" are, and many people believe it. The morality of nationalist speeches being good or bad is up to debate.

    I think I can speak on this, for obvious reasons, without racism coming into it. If you take a massive outside population and introduce them to a native population then outbreed them over the course of 50 years, there will be massive problems. I don't think this is good or fair in any way. I actually feel really bad about this. It's like the whole country is being stolen out from the original citizens who will also have to PAY for their replacement and lose political power over their own country that they built. The United States will not be the same country it was when white people were the overwhelming majority. It will become more latin american (look at latin american countries for examples) because no matter how much wealth the US has built or accumulated over the last 100 years of prosperity, the incoming culture does not have the same values, philosophies, or goals that European people have. The latin american policy of gaining political power by bribing your constituents with money from the treasury is already beginning to proliferate. It will get much much worse. The democrat party thought that by opening the borders they could bribe their way into political power by maintaining a class of grateful migrants for reelection but what they didn't count on was that these migrants would end up voting in their own politicians on a racial basis and replacing the people who thought they could control them. Again, on a racial basis, the former migrants will advocate for the continuation of lacks border control in order to continue the "takeover". It was a massive mistake to do this in the first place and is incredibly unfair to the native white and black population to bring in millions of people to compete while also greatly cheapening labor and keeping wages low and housing costs sky high. California is likely becoming the prototype of what the rest of the United States will look like within the century with a tiny extremely rich upper class and the rest of people overwhelmingly poor relying on government services.

A moderate stance isn't "the right is wrong, bad, or racist" it's looking at all the bad faith actions Democrats and Republicans have taken towards immigration and calling out both sides, because both the DNC and GOP have royally screwed the immigration system. At the end of the day immigration should be a net positive for the US. If cheap immigrant labor is needed then sure, decrease the immigration requirements. However, the cheap labor benefit argument is ironically recycled slavery arguments promoted by the south prior to the civil war. This obviously proved incorrect as the economy adjusted after the emancipation. If we're going to bring in migrants they should be better citizens than the average US citizen.

    Its the usual superficial analysis, pretending to point out where others have been vague and misleading by being vague and misleading himself. There is a vast difference between immigration into a land being settled, without a social welfare state and mass immigration into a developed country with a social welfare system. The dishonest argumentation method of creating a strawman to argue against is strong with this one. He throws up the idea of second class citizenships and attempts that to conflate that with green card legal status when that's just being disingenuous because he full well knows that isn't what was meant in the first place.

    The problem with that approach is for people that serve less than 8 years it would mean years of lag time because of their inactive reserve status. Let's say Joe Smith enlists on an 8 year contract with 4 years active and 4 years inactive reserve time (which is pretty standard). He's going to get out of the Army after his 4 year active time is up, but he's not going to get a DD214 until his entire contract is up. As conduct during his inactive reserve time could potentially change the type of discharge he's given. There's also the reality that, as we've seen historically with the French Foreign Legion, this kind of approach could create a military class largely seen as disposable. If DD214 equals automatic citizenship that will become a more common pathway and it would only follow that using those kinds of personnel for more dangerous situations would be politically expedient.

As you're on inactive reserve time you are not yet discharged, so while you do have a part of the form releasing for active duty until you are actually discharged the DD214 is not complete and could change. For example if you were convicted of a crime your re-enlistment eligibility would change, and your discharge status could (and likely would) change as well. What you have now just serves to allow you to access any benefits to which you are entitled. Since getting citizenship requires an honorable discharge that remains influx until you have your actual discharge and the DD214 in it's final state.

    While starship troopers was a movie about a military autocracy, I did like the idea of all civilians have full rights of an individual, but to gain voting rights, firearm rights, or more privileges usually called rights, you had to earn citizenship, now the movie only shows military service which guaranteed citizenship, but citizenship could be earned through good works, scientific and medical research for the benefit of humanity. It seems like a decent system to me. Edit: I also think any Non citizens/residents who serve in the military be granted citizenship upon an honorable or less than honorable discharge, or medical discharge.

For instance, i personally belive sewage plant workers and garbage men are the most important workers in a society, and therefore in my starship troopers "utopia" as youve described, only by serving as a garbage man/ sewage plant worker are you able to vote, have kids, own guns, etc etc. Does it not seem dumb when you see the same system applied to a group of people you deem "less worthy" of rights?

    While you lampooned the idea in this video, I think having public service be an avenue to citizenship (not "the" avenue to citizenship, "an" avenue; one of many) is a topic worth discussing. There are many veterans of the U.S. military who lied about their citizenship status to serve their new parent country, yet were deported during or after service. If a noncitizen is willing to take that sort of risk, it is hypocritical of a veteran-memorializing nation like the U.S. to turn its back on them. If public services in general (such as first-responders and noncritical government agencies such as the National Park Service) could provide avenues to citizenship, I believe it is certainly something to discuss. Would you like to know more?

    I'm of the mind that no one should be able to vote at all unless they put some kind of stake in the country they live in, including those who just happen to be born there randomly. It's an honestly good idea, and it doesn't have to even be military service if you create civil service programs that are widely understood to stand in for the function and do stuff like building and maintaining infrastructure or administering to the elderly or other necessary tasks. However I doubt that the number of soldiers who get deported due to being non-citizens is enough to qualify as "many" unless your definition of that word is "more than two." That's the type of edge case scenario that literally cannot happen too often as a percentage of the whole due to the requirement of both having to be a person volunteering for military service (something like 1% of the country) and being an illegal immigrant (unknown percent of the country really, but presumably around 2-4%). Statistically, you're just looking at a very low chance of both those states being active on the same person at the same time.

    Orangejuicehero Not completely dissing the idea but I feel like it would be an important thing to note that allowing immigrants to use public service as a route to citizenship was a major cause for the fragmentation and disorganization of the Roman army. The Germanic peoples that were put into military service in the hope that they would become citizens never forgot their homeland and eventually split the army along ethnic and tribal lines. Admittedly this only happened because of abuse to the system and corrupt dignitaries but if this were made to be a primary gateway to citizenship, I believe that it would quickly abused too. Furthermore, I do not expect our politicians to become any less corrupt in the near future. In summation, citizenship for public service is something to be cautious of and should be one of the avenues to citizenship not a primary one.

While you're at it, please address how a wall is going to stop the half of all undocumented immigrants who enter the country legally and overstay their authorized visit. You can also explain how a 500 miles of fence is going to stop anybody from crossing a 2000 mile border if they really want to. What the wall will do is cost at a minimum, 5.7 BILLION up front, with significant annual expenses for maintenance and repair. It will be a barrier to natural migration patterns. It will prevent use of millions of acres of American land along the shore of the Rio Grande. Nobody thinks the wall is immoral; but it is a very foolish way to expend limited resources. It is possibly the least effective way possible to handle a very minor problem that has actually been decreasing in severity for about a decade.

Walls don't stop people or contraband who come in through the access points, which accounts for the large majority of the problems this wall is supposed to solve. It will reduce the issues, probably. It will not reduce either drugs or undocumented immigration by even half because over half of those drugs and immigrants come in through the points of entry. No wall of any size can ever solve that. But the wall will cost a massive amount of money now, and even more to maintain over time, and we could spend that money much better elsewhere (even within the border security appropriation).
