  • 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.

    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.

      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 Місяць 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 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    its funny because the whole concept of monitoring an immigrant, ensuring they are "contributing" etc. while it makes sense, strikes me as totally opposite of a libertarian, hands off, market will take care of it, approach where they will either succeed or fail of their own volition. covid i think also showed that when jobs dry up, immigration recedes, and when jobs come back, it increases. "if you walk across the border and make a baseless asylum claim, you are able to gain access." yet the GQP hasnt/wont update the asylum laws....doesnt make any sense. IF recent immigrants cant feed their kids, and its not clear this is the case, its because we have a pricing system in this country aimed at people making $60/hr, not aimed at immigrants making $10-15/hr. "assimilation problem?" every single ~7 year old child of an immigrant i have ever heard speak (and i live in CA) speaks fluent english and is immersed in american culture, thank the public school system for that. which is the say that by the 2nd generation, assimilation is well underway, it just takes (small) time. its an interesting point about always having an influx of low wage workers and effect on your overall economy, would be curious to know how Japan (an island with from what i understand very low outside immigration) differs from us.

    The death of over 500,000 US mostly working-age young men (5 million by today's population) in the US Civil War (1861-1865) required a massive immigration surge over the next half century not only to replace those men lost but also to finish settling the western half of the United States while filling the jobs needed for rapid industrialization. The question we face now is how the massive influx of immigrants over the last 50 years and today will operate in an economy and job market that is about to be impacted by Artificial Intelligence and its potential *elimination* of jobs -- even if the US does decouple from China and expand manufacturing again. And while jobs have been lost in the past through industrialization, computers and the Internet, the question is, on scale, will AI eliminate more jobs more quickly than in the past?

    The problem with islam is apparently that we haven't built enough houses for it. Thank you mr Cochrane - I think I'll use my own judgement on this one.

    I will point out, "all you have to do is walk across central America" is REALLY not as easy as it sounds- Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala are all almost nothing but jungle- which if I remember correctly from my days in the Military-Jungle boot camp, "50% of the stuff in the jungle is trying to kill you, and that doesn't even include the enemy", and then in Mexico they can either traverse the GIANT fucking mountain range in the middle, or the jungles on either side, that both then lead into extremely inhospitable deserts... I'm not sure that's definable as easy. To me, that says, THEY REALLY want to be here.

    39:37 I listened to Piers’ show. One of the latest one with an Iranian professor (?). It’s quite difficult to listen to but he gave some interesting views about Iran’s strike (I mean Iran’s tactics).
    Is that true?

      47:43 Okay, John has answered part of my questions. So indeed Iran was using old cheap dirty weapons to “consume” the west’s advance expensive weapons 😂
      Then is the second part also true?😂
      Those missiles or you name it hit Israel are indeed the advance Iranian weapons are the west cannot block these?😂😂😂

    What becomes the nation state whose population shares neither ethnicity, religion, language, customs, worldview? Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone reveals the answer.

    Amazing how these three guys forget most people are not wealthy like they are. Sitting in a privileged position sure puts blinders on other wise intelligent men.

    Puts a lot of power in the person deciding whether an immigrant transitions to permanent. Sounds like it's back to the drawing board

    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 🙂

    We have a self sufficiency test for each New legal family based immigrant. Then after arrival they are barred from public assistance for at least five years. Medicaid is not allowed for one who has not paid 10 years of US taxes. SNAP is not available for the same period.
    I find it’s deceiving to not present facts clearly.

    Speaking as a Canadian, I completely agree with your guest’s comments about Canadian immigration woes. Stephen Harper and governments before him had it right. 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.
