I’ve always liked Ray Suarez and watched him for years on public television. He is very smart, a great interviewer and always a gentleman. I’ll have to pick up one of his books.
A family member came into America from Italy illegally in the 2930’s. He worked as a mason, building roads and bridges. He put his sister in Italy through university so she could be a teacher. His 3 children all got advanced degrees and were teachers and accountants. Today, immigrants are fueling our economy, preventing inflation from getting even higher.

They are causing inflation. Increased demand for housing etc drives the price of everything up.
Another great interview!!! I love this show. I didn't get any videos last week. Please don't let that happen again.
Nice interview - from both sides. Ray is spot on in that the forebears of most of us arrived in the US long before their were immigration rules. Some arrived before the US was a nation, and the Dutch, Brits, Spanish, French, and Brits certainly lacked immigration rules.

@johnkelley1426 Lol lies. 99.999% came after the 1900s and more than likely after 1920 and then 1980s
Thanks for your help immigrants!

If Samir from Mombasa was so successful in the USA, why are black Americans so unsuccessful? Suarez should write a book to explain that.
Fix the immigration problem!
Google. UN FORCED IMMIGRATION. Also the number of Kosher NGOS that bring them here, not to exclude decades of illegal wars that cause immigrants.

Even the Injuns came from elsewhere.

@terenzo50 Na the siberians who call themselves Natives came from somewhere else. The Aborigines of North America have always been here. And today you call them Foundational Black Americans

@@Hismana-oi4yx Last time I checked with paleoanthropologists, it was China and Mongolia and the land bridge. Have things changed in the last 20 years?
I applaud the brave ones who are here without documents and work yes to all work authorization moving on united. When someone is here without money insurance or job we forget the good about imigration. Brave people!
