Here in important message that I think should be understood by everyone.

Immigration is not unlimited and always positive. Even disregarding the terrorist angle, there are limits to how many people we can or should take in.

The vast amount of immigrants coming in are actually better educated than the general U.S. population, so it's not a humanitarian argument to start with, as the U.S. doesn't take that many refugees. Most people come in either for work or via family reunification. You could argue high immigration levels is depressing wage levels, particularly in STEM fields, but the rules of the game in America is whoever has money gets to lobby Congress over immigration. So better start saving those pennies and start your own PAC!

"I hug trump nuts cus all them low status browns are the Real problem" --the real problem

I get that you are obsessed with me. This can be a win-win arrangement. I'll send you a picture of myself with my 3 year old son and you can use it as a dartboard if you paypal me $100. Fair?

I put degenerates in their place for sport.

As an example of how degeneracy comes to be, do you pass it onto your spawn?

Yep, Roy Beck's argument is horseshit.

This is a perfect example of a textbook strawman argument.

He pretends that there are people arguing that poverty can be solved by having all the poor people come to the U.S. Absolutely no one is making that argument.

It's actually quite pathetic in how intellectually dishonest it is.

Please point out where I ever said that, or even implied it.

Nope. Not my argument. Strawman.

Though it is hilarious how you project and claim I'm doing what you do as you do it.

Sorry, I'm not Amused.

Of course not, you're an idiot.

In fact, you provided no commentary in your OP and, in accordance with the rules and traditions of this fine establishment, your thread should be locked and you should accept your public disgrace with all the dignity you can muster, which ain't a lot.

Between immigrants and trumpsters degenerates it's pretty obvious which make the country a much worse place.

What rule would that be?

Are you too dumb to understand the difference between a video and an image?

We're now 15 posts into the thread and you have yet to post any of your own thoughts on the topic of the video. Have you watched it?

I think maybe you feel so defensive you assumed Amused was talking about you when he was talking about the guy with the gum balls. His, the gum ball guy's first point was that people argue we can fix world poverty by allowing more immigration but that is not the aim of immigration at all and nobody is arguing that. He is practicing a form of hypnosis.

And besides everybody knows if all the poor in the world came here the earth would tip over and everybody would fall off.

Thanks for the summary. Now I don't have to give this moran an extra view.

Except Amused said "Absolutely no one is making that argument."

That might be true to the extent of people here in this forum, but he can't know what people were saying at that demonstration where the video was recorded, or in the world as a whole.

Wow. You really do lack any and all logic or critical thinking skills, don't you?

I was talking about the video. That you couldn't even figure that out speaks volumes about you.

Why do you even post? Seriously? I have yet to see you post a single factually correct statement.

Shouldn't have dropped out of 7th grade you blind tard. He's referring to what the other tard (Roy Beck) was trying to argue against.

The guy's a complete dumbfuck. He's not an economist and it should be apparent that his balls demo was a fundamental of basic arithmetic 101 to the average dimwit Republican who isn't capable of understanding context (see peanut brain above) let alone doing basic addition. Nothing to do with immigration at all, just teaching ADHD and autistic dropouts how to add numbers with balls.

That was exactly my thought upon viewing the video. I had never heard of this argument that allowing immigration reduces global poverty. Then I googled it.

I think it's a pretty unusual argument, given that there are only a few scattered examples. It's more accurate to say that he is going to a lot of trouble to argue against a fringe position.

Sorry dude, the guy who made the video doesn't read this forum, your message was posted in the wrong place.
