  • America's Border Crisis is a bit of a nightmare. US border Patrol agents are at odds with Texas National Guard, wait no, scratch that include national guard from all over the country. Govenors are sending national guard soldiers from all over. what a mess. what a mess. I feel for the immigrants, my grandmother was a Spanish speaking immigrant , I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her efforts to come to America.
    I also understand where the people of Texas are coming from where they're dealing with over capacity services that they feel they are in over their head with no federal support. I'm praying for a resolution that helps the humanitarian and security crisis at the border.

    I'm posting this because it's sort of like my research process. I'm trying to learn more about the issue, I don't claim to know nothing about anything but I want to understand both perspectives better. My Grand mother was an immigrant from Spain she was fleeing Franco's aircraft bombardments in the 1930s. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her fighting to get here. I also understand Texas's point of view where they feel like they are overwhelmed and there isn't enough funding and help to support the crisis at the border! WHAT A MESS

      It's fucked up all kinds of ways. I'm really curious as the other person mentioned why the focus is on Texas crossings? Why is it so heavy in Texas? The governor is concentrating forces and politicizing at specific crossings, not along the entire Texas Border, which makes it seem more like it's mostly 4-5 key locations. Why are those different from California, New Mexico, Arizona? Is it because of the harsher desert along those borders? Or is it systemic mismanagement for political gain?
      I'm from Texas, just a couple hours away from the border in fact. I don't trust the state government to act in good faith after the 2021 hard freeze. They continue to pass regressive non productive laws and cut back funding on what I consider essential services all while squeezing more progressive areas if the state. I just can't trust the Texas GOP anymore.

I solved it!... his father turned green listening to that and said '' You fool... that argument got you through law school over these years... what are you gonna do now''...?

      It's called the Texas State Guard. The National Guard can be called up by the State Governor of the state of which it is part or it can be federalized by the President of the United States. The Texas State Guard cannot be federalized. The members of the State Guard are un payed. I was part of the Texas National Guard when I was in college. I had also been active duty. I was a bit surprised to find out that Texas had another "Guard". However, the soldiers on the border are actual members of the National Guard and can be federalized if President Biden wants to.

      The channel did take a side though, the side is clearly "Cartels and Crime cannot be super bad if opportunistic illegal migrants are common" and "Opportunistic illegal migrants cannot be common if Cartels and Crime are super bad." It's not an officially endorsed opinion by any specific entity but it is an opinion. "Without advertising a mainstream voting block" is more accurate.

    My dad came here illegally from Mexico in the 80's, was granted amnesty, and then eventually became a citizen. He's a pretty liberal Bernie-bro kinda guy, so it surprised me when he's come out starkly against what's happening at the border. I get the idea from him that the people who are coming across today vs the kinds of folks back in his day are not the same kinds of people with the same kinds of goals. I find it somewhat ironic he's protective of his "free stuff" from other people who inherently seem to want the same thing.

    The right (law makers) in general have a vested interest in the immigration crisis continuing,as its the most salient issue for there base,and solving it would risk Republicans losing elections.they have pulled the plug 3 times now in last 15 years on bipartisan deals.were they perfect deals,no but would have made things far better.To be fair Bidden did dither on the issue for too long,although I doubt we would find ourselves in a different place.BTW I'm not someone who supports open borders,i think we need to halt nearly all immigration from the southern border for a number of years,as a disincentive,we cant keep this up and it gives credence to worst among us,and elevates them into the main stream.in short we will rip ourselves to peaces if it remains a problem for much longer.

    • @DatAsuna
      @DatAsuna 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, it's a running theme for the republicans in general to complain about a problem, say they have a solution, then even if a democrat decides to implement their solution, the republicans will turn around and shoot down their own idea anyway, because they prefer blaming the problem on the other side to fixing it. It was the same with healthcare, the ACA was a republican idea lifted straight from romney, but as soon as the other side came around to it suddenly it's the worst thing ever.

    14:10 These are not legal migrants. These are people trying to enter the country illegally. Also, it’s not just people from Mexico,Central and South America. People are flying to Mexico from China, Africa, Afghanistan, and Central European countries. I couldn’t afford a one way ticket from the U.S. to their country so how are they getting the money to fly to this hemisphere? Many are military age males.

    Also, my mother's side of the family are first generation immigrants who left the war-torn middle east, but with proper visas, and ultimately, became citizens. One 1st cousin is an Internal Medicine specialist with the VAMC in SF, CA. Dad's side is mixed Scandinavian and Argentine. So, we're all a mix.
    -Point is, they all came into the country in the country legally. My mother has been a citizen for over 50 yrs.
    -Many of my nuclear and extended family assisted with Allied, and in several subsequent events, Coalition forces, and ultimately, came over here.

    I'm from Brazil and is my dream to migrate to the US one day, but if I achieve this will be legally. I don't feel like I have the right to enter other countries just because my situation is bad. I can see how people are desperate also, my country is going more and more authoritarian by the day, and our voices are ignored, we feel the push and know that are other places where the situation is worst.
    I'm a programmer and a husband, and if one day I achieve the dream of entering the US will be by my merit and work and by the law.

      I know a lot of people from Brasil and most say that in Brasil the criminals have all the rights and the victims don't have any rights 😢
      Unfortunately unless you have family here the chances of legal immigration are slim. We need immigrants but in general our politicians have been too busy trying to win political games and not busy enough resolving issues 😢.

    Most of us are the children of immigrants. Very few Americans can say they are Native to this land. However, we have been a sovereign Nation since 1776. You can't be a nation without a border. It really is that simple. Causes don't matter. Stop illegal border crossing. We still have people coming to this nation legally. I am trying to understand how this present administration can even stomach their rhetoric regarding allowing illegal immigration. They didn't encourage or help the Afghani people to come here when we ran away from their nation and left them to die at the hands of the So why is this administration so hot to allow the military aged males of the south take up residence in our country? You point out that you know people in NY...I have family and friends in Texas. (I am a life member of the Texas National Guard and was Active Hooah! Brother I understand). Friends of the family are LEO and CBP in Texas and here in Washington State. This whole situation is nuts. I minored in Latin American history. My wife helped train teachers in Honduras for 9 months. We have to stop the illegal immigration because in the long run it will impact crime and corruption in the United States. We have to hold the line. Then and only then do we offer help to the people south of the border. Corruption (la mordida) is at the heart of the problem. From the lowest levels to the highest status and political levels. It will infect our system if it is not stopped. There are people here that are benefiting from this illegal upsurge in immigration. If there wasn't there would be no illegal immigration. We have to clean up our backyard before we can truly be of help to anyone else.

    One aspect that's often overlooked is that many countries around the world have declining populations and even the US population is aging because people aren't making babies like they used to.
    Programs like social security are basically just a ponzi scheme. You have to keep putting more into the bottom or the top runs out of money and we're literally facing that in the next few years.
    For that reason and to fill jobs that employers just cannot hire for, we need legal immigration but our politicians have refused to provide that legal pathway.

      @mfallen6894 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You don't fix a social security deficit with open borders unless everyone coming in is stupidly wealthy and decides they want to be a net-payer the moment they set foot in the country. A social safety net and open borders are mutually exclusive: if you have open borders your social programs fail (and social sec has been heavily strained for decades prior to the borders being flung-open; it was a major talking point during the first election I was able to vote in, and that was literally 20 years ago)
      One could make an argument that it MAY work 50 years down the road to have a short period of unchecked migration, but in the real world that social program will have long since imploded due to the acute economic strain placed upon it DURING the open border period. Plus, you need to carefully select who is coming in based on skill set, etc if you're looking to refill the pool of workers, and we aren't doing that. Not to mention most of our low-skill manufacturing, etc is already in Mexico, China, Vietnam, Philippines, etc. And these aren't heart surgeons and electrical engineers using cartel coyotes to get them into the US, lol.

    It’s also probably a mix of both violence and economic opportunity. 60 minutes also did a story on the influx of Chinese migrants who’ve fled their country to America where their education and skills will be better compensated especially given the thousands of people who handed over their life savings in China for a house that was never constructed or it fell apart. But in terms of central/South American migrants it’s gotta be over all the violence, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico, and Chile and others countries have lived under intense gang and cartel violence for decades the cartels are even starting to to carry out drone attacks in the rural areas of Mexico. It’s a multifaceted problem with no easy solution. In a perfect world I think it would be great to take in these new migrants and help them make a better life but factors such a the fentanyl crisis complicates that idea, and further more, we should ask ourselves is taking in these migrants the responsibility thing to do if we don’t have the housing or resources to help them? Because shoving them out into the streets in tents likely isn’t any better than the living situations they fled from. I would like the think I’m pro migrant but as more issues pile up I don’t know if we should accept them at this point

    As to the reasons for the surge, its complicated. The cartels are a huge factor for people leaving, but we can't ignore that many of these countries are in economic recession. People can't work and that is fueling crime, and both these factors are spurring migration- its a tale as old as time.

    Well first off if the CIA doesn’t have the networks of South America recorded by now they are a waste of space as an agency, and their tendency to overstep the bounds of acceptable measures makes them a gross negative effect for the US.
    Assuming we have been doing our jobs over the last 30-50 years we should have loads of information on any possible parties. Again assuming this information is accurate and will hold up in national court it’s time we resume our doorkicking initiatives. This time closer to home. Small 15-30 man Special Ops teams with air support on stand by for all missions.
    Let’s get this done and develop our neighbors close to home. We’ve given the rest of the world the helping hand in the past, and it is long over due that we bring American aid to the victims throughout ALL of South America. We ought to have teams in place to prevent all border crossings South before operations are initiated.
    First think pests do when you stir their nests is they build new one. Start in Ecuador secure the Canal (it needs improvements while we’re there), and be ready to slap Venezuela if they get lippy about American interventionism. Remember that China has bases in Chile now so if anything pops off near Taiwan we should expect Texas will be their prime source of invasion as it has throughout the centuries before. Likely will find aramaments coming from Chile or their Naval Carriers/ Russian Subs.

    I appreciate Cappy trying to get information out there on these topics without taking a side. I always heard people say, “just immigrate legally” but never looked into what that process entails. After an hour of research it’s still very vague but it will likely take the adult child of a US citizen who lives in Mexico 20+ years and $6-8,000 to get a green card. I’d say for the people who feel they have to migrate to the US, justified or not, that is in no way an option.

    While I too have immigrant ancestors and I do think some people should be able to immigrate to the US, however times change, as well as our country and our systems are not able to handle the influx of people coming into the country! The way our government and institutions work are by its citizens paying into the system, which is how everything functions (which hasn't been great lately anyway), but when you add to many extra people into the system to fast, it will collapse and we are a lot closer to that than some Americans think or want to admit! I think what is happening in Texas should be a wakeup call for Americans, its crunch time and the time to act is now, it's either you, your family, your friends and country or keep letting migrants into the country until it's too late! Remember, math never lies, and we are currently losing to that equation, we have to stop adding to balance scales!

    A country is like a club where the members get to vote on the rules. Each member gets a vote and members get to review prospective new members and have a say on inviting them in or not. Problems occur when people join the club who want significantly different rules than you do. It's a terrible feeling to realize there aren't any other clubs that have the rules you like, and your club is now filling up with people who strongly want different rules than you do, and the people in charge of membership are inviting them in without the mandated review process. You suddenly realize that your club leadership wanted to change the rules all along and is using these new members to do it in a way that lets them escape responsibility for the changes.
    Change this analogy to reality, the place where you live and own a home, and it isn't just an annoyance, it's an existential attack with a corresponding existential panic.

    It seems to me that the Federal Government set the migration policy based off of ideology and because they didn't have to deal with the consequences of uncontrollable immigration. That's why I think it was such a brilliant idea for AZ and TX to send Democrat cities migrants because it's what they asked for and caused. BUT, if a state government can flat out be insubordinate and defy federal authority, that sets a horrible precedent and can lead to some catastrophic consequences in the future. Also, if it wasn't such a ridiculously difficult and lengthy process to migrate legally, a lot more people would probably immigrate the right way

US law says asylum seekers must be detained until their hearings, but Biden is intentionally breaking that law, too.

On the note of South Americans whether people are here fleeing from cartels or desperate for work they’re going to need work and we need them. Our birthrate is not going to keep up with demand but it feels like installing a sink without the drain with how long it takes to get these people able to work legally. It blows my mind that special expedited measures haven’t even been discussed (far as I know) to ease to burden on the community. Imagine if we could get these people to pay taxes and support themselves!

    I know the reason for this. High inflation because of covid money printing, as well as Ukraine Russia conflict+sanctions. The consumer mindset sees the growing prices and tries to buy everything as soon as possible aka cheaper, this causes a tight labor market as companies try to produce all these goods and services. The government raises interest rates to crush demand and increase unemployment. So the part we are seeing is the demand for workers. So US business owners want to get this cheap labor from Mexico so they can run their factories without paying higher wages and increasing prices. This is called the wage-price spiral, but business owners just see the tight labor market and look for cheaper workers

    • @tinyleopard6741

      @ArchesBro There's also a labor shortage that is due to structural mismatch where there's an oversupply of college graduates who don't want to do skilled labor in spite of skilled labor demand with matching high salaries (they really absolutely don't want to because of the subconscious constraint of doing something explicitly related to one's degree) and illegal immigration is only partly meeting skilled labor, while mostly African Americans with American parents doing unskilled labor are now consistently outcompeted by willing illegal migrants.
      Also factories don't pay low wages, manufacturing consistently pays higher wages than services and agriculture except skilled laborers in agriculture and services.
      Speaking of skilled laborers and professionals, there is a high supply of wannabe legal migrants who qualify for these but legal immigration is difficult for them.
      The market is distorted so much by government policies such as tuition loans, loose illegal immigration with very strict legal migration, unconstrained spending with very low interest rates for decades, and so on.

      @@tinyleopard6741 I mostly agree with what you are saying, definitely not important to point out skilled labor by race lol, we arent politicians. As far as factories, it really depends on what type of factory we are talking about, for example meat packing, chicken factory, simple manufactured goods like clothing, extruded plastics are not very high paying or skilled, but I guess that's all relative. Yes, the government has distorted the market to extreme levels in ways most people can't understand. The real tragedy is that high levels of immigrant cheap labor debases the native working-class population, and their assets over time decline relative to the wealthy who own the factories that swell with profits from the cheaper labor. This relationship causes people to hoard money and have fewer kids or just get crushed financially over time. Its fucked up
