    Hi could you please do a video on legal high skilled immigrants who have to wait for 70-150 years to get their green cards and the suffering they go through.

    Love how they always need to clarify and mention when a statistic is from a conservative-leaning institution but never make any mention with its liberal and/or progressive

    The old 'ageing population' scare! In the 1960s it was common for families to have three or more children and for their mothers to stay home and provide domestic services for all the other members of the family. So the ratio of worker/taxpayer to dependents was 1:4 or more.

    All I know is I can't find a job. But it's nice to know that a foreigner has a job and a house in my country first.

    The argument for massive amount of immigrants only works when you conflate legal and illegal immigration. For such a smart channel they left out a huge distinction in this breakdown. Suspicious.

    I am a painter I've had my business for a long time I can tell you right now legal immigrants are destroying the wages. It's hard to pay my employees what they're worth because I have to charge so little for jobs. It's very rare someone wants to pay with a job is worth anymore because they know there's someone out there that will do it for cheaper illegal immigrants bed so low and work for so cheap it causes the average payout to drop exponentially. I don't need a study to understand the common-sense aspects of how someone that charges cheaper is going to make it harder for you to charge more

    I like this video, but what's with host's pockets? It seems that he is bearing two or three big screen phones.

    Nice video and it will take me sometime to sort through it. Have you looked into the meat processing plants as to who they hire and in what percentage. I have had the opportunity to see these workers entering the plant on a work shift. The majority are Latino based on the language heard as they reported for work. Now who worked the plants prior, most likely the locals who lived in the community. Why did they stop working? As a business you want to lower costs, and labor(payroll) is a major part of their operations. How do you help control that cost, you hire those who will work long, hard hours for significantly less money. What happens to those who are now unemployed, they find other work or move to wherever they can find jobs. Let me know when you update your information, research these packing plants, find out where those low wage workers are living and how.

    Workers pay wouldn't be such a big deal if the price of housing wasn't so high in America and that is actually something that we can take control over by implementing certain housing law reforms laws like property tax raising property taxes raises the amount of rent that property owners ask tenants to pay zoning laws which prevent more affordable housing to be placed in certain neighborhoods

    The best option is learn as much as you can about world in your own country and explain it to many people as you can no need to go to other countries for salary,people.
