I am all about helping people. The world is full of poor. My entire family immigrated to the US legally, many worked years to sponsor remaining family members to come here legally. Not a trump fan but his policy of staying in Mexico until asylum was given needs to be put back in place. It was effective. We have millions of Americans that are homeless and living in poverty yet we allow more to break the law. There are laws for a reason and we need to uphold them.

Ayyyyy, that is some shit I could get behind. Start funding NGOs to setup at the boarder and start creating organized militias to send back their countries of origin with the resources and plans to fix their country as well as how to build it into an economically thriving place. I could get behind that.
To some degree (and there are varied opinions on the degree) US foreign policy has been responsible for the state these countries (and others) are in. Sometimes it’s a clandestine operation that tried to install a puppet government, sometimes it is mass bombing, sometimes it’s instigating and supporting revolts. Many times this was done for the economic gain of US corporations.

We need to talk about carrying capacity to have this discussion intelligently. We have only so many resources here, and the more people come in, the less resources we have for everyone. This effects our prices, as well as availablity of money and other resources.
Asylum isn't picking a nation of your choice, it's going to the nearest nation, and seeing asylum. We also NEED to ensure that people really meet the terms of asylum. In the United States, that means "demonstrate that you were persecuted or have a fear of persecution in your home country due to your: Race. Religion. Nationality. Social group. Political opinion". The VAST majority of "asylum seekers" either don't meet that standard, or passed through two or more countries that would have resolved the asylum issue". We need to keep our nation financially strong, and have periods without immigration, to allow assimilation. We are a melting pot, many cultures living under the same idea of America. Not coming here to make us like the country you left, but you coming here, maintaining your cultural traditions, if you want to, but spring the ideals of America ie. Capitalism, Constitutional Republic (not democracy or socialism), "out of many, one".
There is no law that requires someone seek asylum an a neighboring country. Moreover those countries might be dangerous (cartels operate across borders, authoritarian countries have extradition agreements), those counties might not give asylum at all, or not give it to certain categories like lgbt. There might be many more reasons why even signing such a law is a bad idea and would not align with international humanitarian law.
I think Dr. Sam Richards should only have volunteers that are paying for their education (NOT ON SCHORSHIP OR PARENTS PAY FOR SCHOOLING). Real life punishment vs giving.
An economy is an ecosystem. Too much or too little of something can bring it down. Within an economy population is very important. If the population grows faster than the jobs that provide a living wage it will all crumble. Immigration must be monitored in order to secure the economy, therefore at times immigration must be reduced and at others increased. I am not a utilitarian that thinks only of numbers, I make this point from the social perspective. If the economy suffers so do all those from the middle to lower economic stratus of the society.
😮😮A better way is to improve the LEGAL process for immigrants to come here in an orderly way. Secondly that the immigrant must speak English at a specific level. Illegals however have no right to stay.
The irony of this is that every person in that hall is wearing, using and buying a product manufactured in a factory that's in a country that has near deplorable working conditions. Think any of the individuals in the hall are going to change that fact?? NOPE!!! Legal immigration has a process and rules. You want access to th eUS or any country for that matter, you follow the process and the rules. It's that simple. No matter how long it takes to gain access. The needs of the many (residents) outweigh the needs of the few (immigrants).
Asylum doesn't work the way he's making it seem. You don't get to pick the country you flee to in order to get Asylum. It is the nearest country/nation that will/can take you in. You can't cross several nations to claim Asylum here in the US.
The prof is just babling pointlessly, trying so hard to get the students sucked into his own sense of ethics. I'm not American, but I'd say Americans owe nothing to migrants. From my own experience, I know you, Americans, are generous people. If you can help Jose (and people like him), that's great. But you must take care of yourselves first.
Professor please discuss how war is the way of mankind it is engrained in our biology > The Othering’ is group think. Stop saying we destroyed another country therefore we owe them, the fact is if you can’t defend your country and values then you’re not going to keep it. The backlash is coming and it’s going to get ugly.

@GKB.official If you can get to the Mexican side of the border, then you will have everything $$$$ handed to you. Just act naïve about the border crisis and do not bring any US citizenship documentation with you. 😉
it wasn't luck I was born in America. my family showed up here hundreds of years ago to tame a wild land when Latin America was way more advanced the the U.S. not luck planning generations ago is why I was born in America
Half the episode is the story about the Honduran that walked over 2k miles in 30 days, and is complete bull! Manuel walked over 66 miles a day, huh? Sure he wasn't shuttled over 99% of the way fro. The Derrian Gap by NGOs? Poor guy really shouldn't have walked all that way.
@@ThePdinvill The NGOs are running from the derrian to the border, and all between. There are over 30 "camps" that provide meals, shelter, and run shuttles between the camps.
This may sound crass to the lesser brained but it used to be a huge deal for a person to get citizenship. My great grandfather fought in the first world war to get into the USA and giving it special interest groups is a slap in the face of all that had to truly sacrifice.
Maybe somebody could show them the Live Aid concert that didn't do S to fix the problem. We send Billions south of the border and yet the problems remain. Beanie hat boy is the type of graduate that will find the real world is very hard and he won't get by with his smugness.
People traveled 4-6 months to get from Missouri to Oregon. 30 days? that is nothing in comparison. Sounds like a bit of hitchhiking. Sure there was a few stores to get water and food along the way also.
Wow just listening to these people and their take care of everyone for everything is mind-blowing. Our country is doomed with future leaders such as this
aside from the class warfare aspect-we also need to address the cultural differences, voting patterns, etc. chicago and ny got a small percentage and fell apart. BUT the argument that mexico isnt a crap hole thats dangerous, the reason he needs to come here, while also defending that it isnt a crap hole...what is the truth to this?
This is an ongoing problem that will not be fixed by letting in 2x or 3x more immigrants and only increase the problems here because it is not possible it integrate that many people effectively. An excellent example of the problem is the “gum ball” immigration video that is about 10 years old and available on UA-cam.
We need stronger boarders (like other countries). We need to fix our issues……better health care, lower cost of college, gas prices. We are a mess. We need to help Americans first & STOP giving free stuff to illegal people.
Dude say he grew up in the USA just by luck. Nope, his ancestors worked and followed the proper laws to come here. Jose Manuel went through 10 countries to get here and says here I am, take care of me and my family. He didn't stay at any of the other countries because that's not how immigration works. He refuses to try and make his homeland better so how will he make this country any better. Just because you think you deserve to get whatever you want; it is not so. Even at Woke Disney you have to wait your turn. You may get away with line skipping once and awhile but eventually you will be removed from the park.
This may be a HARSH view - but UNTIL we can effectively "fix" our immigration procedures and our borders, we shouldn't grant asylum or help to anyone. Legal Immigration needs to be re-tooled and re-worked to be streamlined, as well as cutting back on any and all programs that benefit Illegal Immigration. As of now the system is used and abused at large by the World because everyone knows this Country has a bleeding heart. In some cases, many in fact, some rights and programs benefit illegal immigration and immigrants far more than what the average citizen has access to. I understand some people's lives could be in danger, but why is it up to us to do anything about it when there are so many problems here already.
If you're busy feeling indignant because people don't agree with you; you're squandering your time; better spent on dialoguing so that you can actually learn. Your indignation doesn't make your audience look stupid; it makes you look stupid. Right on to the students up here demonstrating emotional intelligence - not taking it personally; not becoming indignant - working hard to try to understand someone else's point of view. Well done! 💪
A quick google check revealed this information. If the young man in the beanie reads the comments, I hope he sees this: Money sent to Honduras between FY 2020 and 2023 $ 785.05 million for humanitarian, economic, development, and health assistance. During the same time period and for the same reason $570.6 million sent to Guatemala. Mexico has received over $3 Billion since 2008, and Venezuela $ 3.7 Billion since 2017. I'd say we American tax payers have done enough.
"Homelessness could be ended with 2 billion dollars". California spent $24 billion on homelessness in five years and the problem got worse.
The operative word is “could”. Yeah, it could, but it won’t.
You're right homelessness in California could have been fixed if it was done by anyone other than Democrats
But rest assured a whole lot of WOKE tools have sweet jobs thanks to it.

Asylum isn't picking a nation of your choice, it's going to the nearest nation, and seeing asylum. We also NEED to ensure that people really meet the terms of asylum. In the United States, that means "demonstrate that you were persecuted or have a fear of persecution in your home country due to your: Race. Religion. Nationality. Social group. Political opinion". The VAST majority of "asylum seekers" either don't meet that standard, or passed through two or more countries that would have resolved the asylum issue". We need to keep our nation financially strong, and have periods without immigration, to allow assimilation. We are a melting pot, many cultures living under the same idea of America. Not coming here to make us like the country you left, but you coming here, maintaining your cultural traditions, if you want to, but spring the ideals of America ie. Capitalism, Constitutional Republic (not democracy or socialism), "out of many, one".
There is no law that requires someone seek asylum an a neighboring country. Moreover those countries might be dangerous (cartels operate across borders, authoritarian countries have extradition agreements), those counties might not give asylum at all, or not give it to certain categories like lgbt. There might be many more reasons why even signing such a law is a bad idea and would not align with international humanitarian law.
So "dangerous" that he left his wife and kids behind????
@@andayaman I was thinking the SAME thing! ‘My life is in danger!’ Pffft!
@6:40 millions of people are not gonna show up at the border… Did you see what happened?
I think Dr. Sam Richards should only have volunteers that are paying for their education (NOT ON SCHORSHIP OR PARENTS PAY FOR SCHOOLING). Real life punishment vs giving.
An economy is an ecosystem. Too much or too little of something can bring it down. Within an economy population is very important. If the population grows faster than the jobs that provide a living wage it will all crumble. Immigration must be monitored in order to secure the economy, therefore at times immigration must be reduced and at others increased. I am not a utilitarian that thinks only of numbers, I make this point from the social perspective. If the economy suffers so do all those from the middle to lower economic stratus of the society.
Something about that guy with hat just bothered me.
Perhaps it was the combination of moronity and smugness?
Nothing. We don't owe them Jack Squat!
😮😮A better way is to improve the LEGAL process for immigrants to come here in an orderly way. Secondly that the immigrant must speak English at a specific level. Illegals however have no right to stay.
Does putting a beanie cap over your long hair do something to your brain where you believe you have the world figured out at 20 years old?
Nothing. We owe them nothing.
The irony of this is that every person in that hall is wearing, using and buying a product manufactured in a factory that's in a country that has near deplorable working conditions. Think any of the individuals in the hall are going to change that fact?? NOPE!!! Legal immigration has a process and rules. You want access to th eUS or any country for that matter, you follow the process and the rules. It's that simple. No matter how long it takes to gain access. The needs of the many (residents) outweigh the needs of the few (immigrants).
Asylum doesn't work the way he's making it seem. You don't get to pick the country you flee to in order to get Asylum. It is the nearest country/nation that will/can take you in. You can't cross several nations to claim Asylum here in the US.
@@blueprinkle6965
But that’s what’s happening
@@blueprinkle6965 you're one of the first people to actually say that. You're absolutely right!
@@coachduke9323 what part of what i said is happening? The jumping across the ocean to flee up south America into the US to claim Asylum?
The prof is just babling pointlessly, trying so hard to get the students sucked into his own sense of ethics. I'm not American, but I'd say Americans owe nothing to migrants. From my own experience, I know you, Americans, are generous people. If you can help Jose (and people like him), that's great. But you must take care of yourselves first.
Professor please discuss how war is the way of mankind it is engrained in our biology > The Othering’ is group think. Stop saying we destroyed another country therefore we owe them, the fact is if you can’t defend your country and values then you’re not going to keep it. The backlash is coming and it’s going to get ugly.
If the beanie guy ever grows up he’s gunna be embarrassed that this mannerisms and tone during this debate were recorded. Nothing to do with his opinion and stance.
Bruh how 😭
Migrants owe
I’m poor and I’m American. Where’s my money?
Work.
@@dmdj8588 I Do, lol. Can't survive in Oregon on this low pay!
@GKB.official If you can get to the Mexican side of the border, then you will have everything $$$$ handed to you. Just act naïve about the border crisis and do not bring any US citizenship documentation with you. 😉
@@amg9163kinda tempting
People of the world! You don’t have an inherent rights to move to America! Fix your own country!
it wasn't luck I was born in America. my family showed up here hundreds of years ago to tame a wild land when Latin America was way more advanced the the U.S. not luck planning generations ago is why I was born in America
Exactly
Half the episode is the story about the Honduran that walked over 2k miles in 30 days, and is complete bull! Manuel walked over 66 miles a day, huh? Sure he wasn't shuttled over 99% of the way fro. The Derrian Gap by NGOs? Poor guy really shouldn't have walked all that way.
If he is going from Honduras to Mexico he wouldn't have crossed the Derrian Gap. That is between Colombia and Panama.
@@ThePdinvill The NGOs are running from the derrian to the border, and all between. There are over 30 "camps" that provide meals, shelter, and run shuttles between the camps.
If you help everyone with their hand out, soon you will have your hand out.
A trip back home.
Throwing money at a problem doesn't allows solve the problem.
Very wealthy ones with good values can possibly stay.
So, by migrants you are talking about illegals right?
Kamala is not telling them to stop!!! Wtf man!!?
This may sound crass to the lesser brained but it used to be a huge deal for a person to get citizenship.
My great grandfather fought in the first world war to get into the USA and giving it special interest groups is a slap in the face of all that had to truly sacrifice.
Maybe somebody could show them the Live Aid concert that didn't do S to fix the problem. We send Billions south of the border and yet the problems remain. Beanie hat boy is the type of graduate that will find the real world is very hard and he won't get by with his smugness.
For real. Maybe when he grows up and starts paying taxes he’ll get a clue about this situation.
It’s easier to beg than to work
Sam just remember Obama was separating families as well!
One might wonder what the other countries migration policies are..
6B to end world hunger? Lets say theres 2B starving, thats $3 each, so for how long. In perpetuity?
6B every day, 2.1T every ear.. in perpetuity?
People traveled 4-6 months to get from Missouri to Oregon. 30 days? that is nothing in comparison. Sounds like a bit of hitchhiking. Sure there was a few stores to get water and food along the way also.
Wow just listening to these people and their take care of everyone for everything is mind-blowing. Our country is doomed with future leaders such as this
I would love to interview these young and oh so naive people again in about 20 years.
aside from the class warfare aspect-we also need to address the cultural differences, voting patterns, etc. chicago and ny got a small percentage and fell apart. BUT the argument that mexico isnt a crap hole thats dangerous, the reason he needs to come here, while also defending that it isnt a crap hole...what is the truth to this?
What do we owe migrants or what do we owe illegal immigrants? The two are NOT THE SAME …
A airticket back home.
You know what I took from this? College KIDS have no business voting at all.
Bottom line is, the United States is not capable of assisting and acclimating that many people (20 million) all coming at the same time.
I remember when i was young paid no taxes and thought i knew everything.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ignorance is bliss, till reality kicks in
Jose knows to go to a white person and ask for help. Smh
The answer is nothing. Are we really at the point in our society that this is even a question?
This is an ongoing problem that will not be fixed by letting in 2x or 3x more immigrants and only increase the problems here because it is not possible it integrate that many people effectively. An excellent example of the problem is the “gum ball” immigration video that is about 10 years old and available on UA-cam.
Yes! That’s a great video!
We need stronger boarders (like other countries). We need to fix our issues……better health care, lower cost of college, gas prices. We are a mess. We need to help Americans first & STOP giving free stuff to illegal people.
Great professor
In 2022 11 Million came in illegally and it’s increased since then. In 2019 California spent $24 BILLION on homelessness and it actually increased
Something like 20 to 30 million illegals in the USA or more it's sick
Brazil is a beautiful country with beautiful people that has been taken over by corrupt politicians and gangs
Dude say he grew up in the USA just by luck. Nope, his ancestors worked and followed the proper laws to come here. Jose Manuel went through 10 countries to get here and says here I am, take care of me and my family. He didn't stay at any of the other countries because that's not how immigration works. He refuses to try and make his homeland better so how will he make this country any better. Just because you think you deserve to get whatever you want; it is not so. Even at Woke Disney you have to wait your turn. You may get away with line skipping once and awhile but eventually you will be removed from the park.
Bros like "its never gana happen" mean while we have been averaging over a million people since the. 👀
This may be a HARSH view - but UNTIL we can effectively "fix" our immigration procedures and our borders, we shouldn't grant asylum or help to anyone. Legal Immigration needs to be re-tooled and re-worked to be streamlined, as well as cutting back on any and all programs that benefit Illegal Immigration. As of now the system is used and abused at large by the World because everyone knows this Country has a bleeding heart. In some cases, many in fact, some rights and programs benefit illegal immigration and immigrants far more than what the average citizen has access to.
I understand some people's lives could be in danger, but why is it up to us to do anything about it when there are so many problems here already.
If you're busy feeling indignant because people don't agree with you; you're squandering your time; better spent on dialoguing so that you can actually learn. Your indignation doesn't make your audience look stupid; it makes you look stupid. Right on to the students up here demonstrating emotional intelligence - not taking it personally; not becoming indignant - working hard to try to understand someone else's point of view. Well done! 💪
All of these students should sponsor a migrant person.
starving to death but the UN does not care
This teacher just encourages their bs.
"Yankee go home, and bring me with you."
Nice one
If you don’t agree with being the world’s police then you should also not agree that we should be the world’s deposit of indigents.
We don't own them ANYTHING
You could fix world hunger with $6 Billion....for a couple hours, then everyone is hungry again.
A quick google check revealed this information. If the young man in the beanie reads the comments, I hope he sees this: Money sent to Honduras between FY 2020 and 2023 $ 785.05 million for humanitarian, economic, development, and health assistance. During the same time period and for the same reason $570.6 million sent to Guatemala. Mexico has received over $3 Billion since 2008, and Venezuela $ 3.7 Billion since 2017. I'd say we American tax payers have done enough.
