  • Nearly 40 years since the nation last saw comprehensive reform on the matter, the consensus is that America’s immigration system is sorely in need of updating to 21st-century realities. Reihan Salam, Manhattan Institute president and author of the book "Melting Pot or Civil War?", joins Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster to discuss a smarter approach to welcoming newcomers to America. After that: the fellows discuss the ramifications of Iran’s not-so-surprise missile assault on Israel and what the coming months portend for those warring nations. Finally, John and H.R. (and a few surprise guests) welcome Niall to his “swinging 60s”-Hoover’s “international man of history” officially a sexagenarian on the same day this show was recorded.
    ABOUT THE SERIES

    Happy Birthday Dr. Ferguson! Having crossed the same threshold 18 months ago, 60 truly is the new 50. You’re an inspiration to us all on many levels. Keep fighting the good fight! 🙏

    Just build the wall and drastically reduce legal immigration. In the Middle of the 20th Century we had no net migration until 1965. America is addicted to immigrant labor and it is not going to end well if this addiction continues.

    Another crucial problem is that the majority of today's immigrants legal or illegal comes from non-christian non-democratic societies, from societies where the ideology of anti-Americanism prevails. I'd like to know what is the percentage of Muslim, Asian, African and Latin American immigrants in the total pool of newcomers, the rate of their contribution into American economy and culture. It would be great to compare these numbers with the contribution of the immigrants of the past. I.e. analysis of the immigrants effectiveness. On the other subject: professors of Muslim and non-Muslim provenance who propagate anti-American, antisemitic ideology among American students should be, in my view, immediately fired from the universities teaching positions. Also, once we talk about higher education: in my view, the federal law must prohibit foreign funds contributions from the hostile regimes (Qatar, China, Russia, Iran). Our higher education is being sold out to a higher bid regardless of what ideology is channeled by those contributors.

      Boohoo!!! What goes with freedom of religion and freedom of speech and freedom of conscience? And what about america not doing dirty tricks in middle east and asia and thus has no need to "tolerate" the orientals? You want to dominate every part of the world, yet you want nothing to do with "them". Go into isolationism as far as your policies in middle east and asia are concerned, and just close the gates and stop all the pretensions as being the ideal bleeding heart daddy of the world and believe me you were not welcome there to begin with. Be real MAGA.

      Absolutely agreed. We could also forcibly deport Americans that are not effective citizens (low education, low income, unemployed, SAHMs), and take in more legal immigrants to take their place in America. I also liked your point about professors, and I think we should extent it to include Anti-Russian and Anti-Chinese or any kind of hate speech. We live in a peaceful society based on Christian values and we can't have any hate like that leaking in and disturbing that.

    Will you discuss our college graduates not getting jobs that visa workers get?

    • @jesuslovesaves2682
      @jesuslovesaves2682 25 днів тому

      What about people not getting into college (or their preferred college) because pressure from international students push them out? Or US students not getting scholarships due to it going to an international student?
      It is interesting how John made is sound like legal immigration isn't possible. Yet I know many people here working, buying homes, raising a family (friends of my children and other family) who are here on visas and have been here for a long time. Some are on visas and others are now citizens one way or another.

    • @justinflannery8671
      @justinflannery8671 22 дні тому

      I can tell you the likely thrust of John’s response; there aren’t a fixed number of jobs. Plus with the unemployment rate below 4%, I’m sure there are plenty of areas where a college education is a requirement and employers are struggling to fill vacancies.

    The story of human kind is a story of movement, migration, and immigration. The notion of nation states - the premise of the argument- is a recent phenomenon. I came here from India at the age of 10 along with three younger siblings. Two of us served in the US Army and went on to become successful lawyers. The other two are NYPD cops. My dad was a cab driver and we never accepted a dollar of public assistance. You’re painting with a very broad brush.

    The problem not discussed is limiting ideological corruption amongst politicians. Their focus should be on establishing policies that are best for the citizens already living here, best for America. Allowing 14 million unvetted migrants to roam around the country at will without a job is NOT in my best interest, nor my neighbor’s best interest. It only serves the interests of politicians who enrich themselves from doing the bidding of Soros.

    3 “conservative” white guys advocating for more immigration. I love these guys! Cochrane articulates a first principles thinker. Start with what is right legally and morally, then address the root cause, then think about solutions. When democrats and republicans agree on restricting legal immigration, one should be suspect.

    As a Canadian I would agree with the analysis of Canada under Harper, to a degree. As I understand it the rule of thumb for years was immigration at 1% of the population per year, around 400k. That certainly has been exceeded in the last two years. There is also a problem with foreign student admissions, to the point of diploma mills popping up to exploit students. It didn't help that some of the provinces capped tuition, encouraging universities to depend heavily on foreign students and their unlimited fees. Both groups are adding to an overheated housing market as was pointed out.

    Canada's schools, Ontario to be specific, are overflowing with various families from different cultures. Special classes (e.g., learning dissabilities, behaviour) that we need most definitely - got cancelled due to funding!!! Newcomers, students with hardly any english language skills, end up in existing classes floating about. Again, there is no funding for extra support.That is the reality.

Unfortunately our current government is incompetent in so many areas. Sadly, as a result, they have poisoned many Canadians attitudes towards immigration and blinded us to the benefits.

    Thanks for sharing some good discussion. Tend to agree with H.R. on the situation between Iran and Israel. With Iran and especially with Russia, the focus has been on defense. But little has been done to ultimately stop the aggression in terms of offense. The best defense is a good offense. Putin wouldn't play near so many games if he got handed more of a dose of his own medicine. The last thing in the world I'd want to see is the beginning of WWIII, but to let these situations drag on and on is akin to doing nothing. I agree Israel has done the right thing not to let this escalate out of control. I'd really like to see the hostages released. Wrap it up and move on. Give Putin something new to chew on. He might think twice about pulling another stunt next time. It's getting too expensive otherwise.
    Wish Niall a belated Happy Birthday 🙂

    i'm no expert but i was just looking at the graph and the population is steadily rising, so how is it that the idea is that we don't have enough people or don't have enough workers adding up? i'm not really an anti immigration person, but it seems to me that there's this idea that there's all these new people and it's going to make everything better and yet the graph shows we're going up this all is so confusing i quit

      Population growth, though increasing overall, varies in distribution and composition globally. Developed countries often rely on immigration for growth as native-born populations slow. Despite this growth, labor market imbalances persist due to mismatches in skills and demand. Aging populations compound these challenges, increasing retiree proportions relative to the working-age populace. Immigration, if managed effectively, can alleviate these imbalances by supplying skilled workers and fostering diversity and innovation. However, realizing these benefits hinges on sound immigration policies and societal acceptance. In summary, population growth's implications are complex, influenced by factors such as economic structures, immigration policies, and societal attitudes, necessitating a holistic approach for effective navigation.

    "Plenty of room". We do have alot of room still and we obviously need to build more housing. We need that now for the current population. That said, im not particularly interested in seeing the country built up to capacity with housing, businesses, etc.

    I am excited to see the immigration topic and am making this comment before watching.
    My prediction is that they will echo the agreed bipartisan method of redirecting the topic, which should be about a massive existing group of exploited people living in the US, to be about border control.
    Although to be fair to John... he did go against the others several years ago when they last talked about this.

      You have Trump to thank for that. One third of that belongs to him.

      I think the plan is to push massive inflation to deflate the value of the debt. I will borrow $100 from you but by the time I pay it back it will be worth have that or less. This seems to be the debt economy logic. Borrow now to invest in some sort of capital project that would cost more in the future due to inflation and the debt will be worth less. The only thing that seems to bother them anymore is noncapital based debt.

      @@aleinstein3223 Cannot be pinned on one person, or even one office. The last four administrations (i.e., 2 Dem and 2 Rep) share culpability, not to mention Congress at least equally and perhaps more so. Regardless of which party might have controlled which houses in any given year. And that's just the recent trend of increase: the US govt has routinely run a deficit each year for almost a century. The annual budget has balanced only a handful of times since the 1920s. This is fully a bipartisan and systemic disaster, not just decades but generations in the making.
