The name of this show should be changed to “One Systemic Social Problem at a Time”.
Nah. That sounds too much like we're solving them.
@@SalohcinQE you'd be a very bad lawyer that's forsure
Countering illegal immigration, lying actors, frauds, scammers, gang members, smugglers and people with bad intentions isn't a systematic problem. These actors still infiltrating America is a systematic problem that should be solved, but GOP (and especially Dems) are too weak to put a decisive end to it. America can't and shouldn't carry the world's burden on their shoulders. Anyone who've seen the migration crisis in Europe and who've got a responsible stance on the matter knows this. But Oliver and his fans love to virtue signal about compassion and openness, because they don't have to reap the consequences or acknowlege the negative side-effects, ever.
@@Mr3344555 Good thing I'm not one, and am just making jokes in yt comments instead, huh?
In Short: "One SS Problem at a time" - muahahah
A man complaining that people fleeing for their lives are cowards is pretty hypocritical for a guy who hid in a bunker from people with signs.
👏👏👏👏👏 well said
And who threatens (promises?) to leave the country because nobody likes him.
Whaddya expect from Cadet Bone Spur.
😂😂😂
dont forget that little draft dodge !!!
I just "love" the fact that "The Great American Melting Pot" at 0:40 goes to the detail of dividing Norwegians and Swedes, Spaniards and Portuguese, but then just includes "Africans" as if it was a single ethnicity.
It’s the US, of course they’re gonna be racist, even if they don’t try to be
its from 1976 i wouldn't have high standards
I hear that applied more often than one would believe... Truth is that the average citizen just doesn't know anything about african countries and cultures...and to my shame when it comes to ethnic groups i am also pretty stomped, i can name like 3 which is pretty bad for a whole continent. :/
@@sanctificate6285 haha!!! No one is forced to stay here!
@@jimmyboy601 haha!! Not everyone can afford to move to another country!
"So I have to turn up dead to be accepted?" "Even then, if you're not the right kind of dead, you might be refused."
I was preparing myself for hearing John telling us Bertha was killed in Honduras. I was so relieved when he said she wasn't.
Not yet anyway. Her life, as those of many others, depends on this election.
Same here. When he said she was sent back, tears came down and I said, "Oh God, they killed her?"
Pure relief to know she is alive...for now. #BidenHarris2020
Why was she not applying for asylum in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala or Belize, Mexico, Costa Rica etc. there were plenty of other countries where she could have went.
@@Makrillo Many of them are as bad as where they fled...or they are exactly where they are fleeing.
@@Makrillo ... she did? Mexico, to be precise. Which is probably same bad, but at least some distance away from Honduras.
"Let's try to take this one systemic social crisis at a time."
Oh, gosh. We're gonna be here a while.
that one hit hard..
I was not ready for John Oliver to say that tbh...
i chuckled and cried at the same time. feels bad man.
"You'd probably also be black." So dryly delivered, so funny, and the truth in it makes me so angry.
US went from being the country of the free to being a police state in less than 20 years.
9/11 didn't destroy only the twin towers, it destroyed American identity.
The woman in the beginning....I’m Salvadoran-American. My grandmother still lives in El Salvador. She’s been harassed by MS-13. (She loves her farm too much to leave El Salvador). That woman speaks like my grandmother, lovers her grandchildren like mine does, even kind of looks like her. My heart is breaking.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗✊🏼💛
Same. Me da mucha lástima.
Then fight gangs, let's push to get rid of MS-13. Surely you voted Trump. Biden didn't and won't do anything about the gangs
@@chronometer9931
Is caging innocent brown kids in subhuman conditions at the border apart of trumps plan to get rid of a gang formed in Los Angeles?
@@tobisouza1294 Obama and Hillary set up those "camps", and the pictures that were shown, with kids in cages was taken fr the time Obama was in office and he sent over 2 million immigrants out, with Biden's help. I voted for Obama 2.times, sadly. I am no fan of Trump, but I do like the facts. Obama also separated families.
Canada actually had a "safe 3rd country agreement" with the US so that asylum seekers could only seek asylum in one of the 2 countries. That was until a few months ago when the Canadian courts deemed the law illegal because the process and treatment in the US has deteriorated so badly that it would likely lead to inhumane conditions or harm/death for the asylum seekers by turning them back the US.
Canada is a lot stricter about their immigration policy than the US. Part of why their country is better than ours. They don't take in every random person. You can't even move there unless you can prove you have a skill they find useful
@@MissKK660 you're not wrong, though asylum is a different process than standard immigration
@@MissKK660 Go move to Canada, then, if you think they're so much better.
Me, I'd rather stay here and... how do you say... "Make America Great Again"? Starting, perhaps, by repairing our reputation as a "safe 3rd country" with one of our staunchest allies and neighbors?
@@SirMonday How exactly are you making America great again? Like what are you actually doing? How are you repairing America's reputation?
@@jpkuremi Are you asking me, personally? I'm doing what little I personally can do to uphold this country's reputation -- being accepting and tolerant and supporting the policies that would result in a better reputation as a country willing to cooperate on equal terms and help the international community.
But the intention of my comment (which you seem to have missed) is to point out that the USA losing its status as a "safe 3rd party country" for Canada's asylum policies is detrimental to its international reputation, and that fixing this by having a sensible, humane, and sympathetic policy towards asylum seekers would go towards repairing that reputation.
the fact that migrants spontaneously and freely organized themselves to create a list of who was there the longest indicates a broad willingness on the part of the refugees to cooperate with others and maintain justice during chaos. these are not "bad people," they are regular folks trying their best to help each other and make the best of a horrific situation
and have in mind, who said those words... and the long criminal history of that person... plus born into wealth...

The good people on the list are not the problem, that is very true. However, the real problem is not solved by taking in all the good people.
It is solved by breaking the cartels. One headshot at the time.

@@daszieher sober up, kid.
When my dad (US born US citizen of Eastern European descent) tried to kill my mom (US born US citizen of Eastern European descent) for the THIRD time, she went to a lawyer to get a divorce in NY. But, at that time there was no No Fault divorce option at that time. She was told the only way she could get a divorce based my dad's deadly violence towards her was for him to succeed in killing her!!! So, she went to Juarez, Mexico. Stayed for 3 days, declared herself a resident there, and then got a Mexican divorce from him. That divorce was accepted by the State of NY. And, THAT is how my mom saved her own life from my homicidal dad. THINK about it.
This is utterly ridiculous. I am glad your mom is okay. She is very brave to do what she did
That is consistent with laws here written and ratified by men. I'm so happy your mother had the smarts and the guts to gain her freedom!
No offense but maybe after the first time she should have left him and not waited for the third.
Anybody else find the name "Juarez" great to repeat all day long?
@@Tibbles11 Did you not read the part about not being able to get a divorce? No of course not. You were too busy being an outrageous prick to read for comprehension while applying your privileged perspective.
You don't know what it's like listening to Bertha say how scared she is in a language that you consider your home language. It was absolutely heartbreaking and I won't ever be able to forget her voice and the words she spoke.
her response saying "they are looking for me" haunts me. I just can't believe someone would deny her protection. This is utterly disgusting.
"I am very fearful for my life"
*Crowd laughs*
Hmmm, that kinda sums up the reaction I have regarding certain police officers.
*We laugh to stop ourselves from crying*
@James Franko why should we leave our home? When you have cockroaches in your house, you don't leave. You get rid of the roaches.
That’s horrible! I’m really sorry to hear that.
I don't know if they are misapplied laugh tracks. I suspect so. His crowd often hoot with laughter at terrible and tragic incidents. I am not sure if even American audiences are actually that barbaric.
"You'd probably also be black but let's take this one crisis at a time" is a GOLDEN line, god I love John Oliver

@@jhunterb123 Yeah ok buddy. Go take your meds.
I actually know a person who sought asylum. My friends mother. She’s seen his mocking speech. She cried. She genuinely feared for her life. Most specifically she feared a stoning. Death by stoning. That’s real life for some people. He mocked that reality and these demons laughed.
Horrible. I'm sick of the cruelty

@@Af0restp3rson He is as much a man of God as I am a submarine on Mars.
I can see john's massive hair loss over the years
I have a friend who is doing the same as your friend's mother and she too is terrified. She knows if she loses, then her life and her children's lives are going to end. It is hard to watch her go through this.
Grown men keeping children prison in hotel rooms, wow that sounds so damn creepy.
And as history has shown many times for children/vulnerable people in similar situations, they are probably being abused and raped by their captors. If you aren't doing anything illegal, why do you hide it behind closed doors? It's disgusting what people in positions of power are able to get away with.
'creepy' really is the right word. I really hope they are okay in there, given what priests apparently do when left alone with children for long enough, I shudder to imagine what quick-to-anger contractors do. As Xiao says, why behind closed doors, why? I mean we know they are in there, so why hide it all, why not let lawyers in??
And not identifying themselves, using force to keep people off the entire floor, not allowing them to see any lawyers are be provided any support. This entire system is just designed to break up families and leave them ill prepared for a legal system that’s been weaponised against them
@@MrXiaoqiao if i had not already heard about allegations of ICE agents doing assaults i'd say you are a Bit quick to accusations there
Honestly that entire situation is creepy as shit. There's no way that's not just a rich person brothel ffs. What is that monster doing that we _aren't_ aware of? There's no way they're gonna reveal all Trump's crimes. He's too big to fail.
“A Trump official saying his actions have nothing to do with immigration is about as believable as Cookie Monster saying his actions have nothing to do with cookies. Because of course they do, they are the thing you are so obsessed with it literally makes you a monster.”

John would know, since he co-hosted with the Cookie Monster once.
That child-imprisonment hotel was deeply disturbing. Those guys knew what they were doing was wrong so they got aggressive with anyone who tried to help the kids. Makes me sick
I commented this before, but how many of those kids do you think have been sexually assaulted while in those camps ?
You must be really angry with Obama then too?
@@galadine12 What is that, the "toddler excuse" ? "But, mom, Obama stole the kids first" I am sorry, but when did things become okay to do just because someone else did them first? "Don't worry serial killers, once we reach 100,000 of you, you can no longer be prosecuted" Also, Obama is not in office, people were fighting against his policies when he was in office, and never did his admin even come remotely close to the horrific numbers of the Trump admin. and that is over 8 years vs 4. Go sit down.
@@goldenglowable Don't worry. The Lawyers will be there for them 20 years from now, just like they are now for all the Boy Scouts and Catholics who were sexually abused.
@@mandlerparr1 Excuse? That's what you read in my comment? I write the word "too" which means literally "also" and you think I'm making an excuse for one side or the other? Not going to lie, you need to go outside and breathe, because you are seeing things. Trump has major problems at the border. Yes. Not good. No one said otherwise here. Obama literally built cages for kids. Right. Not good. Bad.
Calm down guy. You're in your safe space. Everyone here agrees with you.
"They end up where they end up" sounds an awful lot like "It is what it is"
Or “so it goes”.
@IKtheVS Wah wah muh evil libs, I have nothing to say so I insult the lIbTaRdS on unrelated comments!
@IKtheVS Or maybe stop being racist scumbags and stop the war on drugs that is fueling money to those cartels. It's all the US governments fault that all these central and South American countries are the way they are.
@IKtheVS you're right. Sticking a knife dipped in sulfuric acid in a festering wound is way better than "not fixing it".
Phrases that when once said, a sound of a thousand lawmakers putting their heads in the sand follows.
I'm an immigration lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona. Thank you for your well- researched information as usual. This is all accurate.
My ex wife was an immigration lawyer that sabotaged my green card and I am in limbo.
Seeing that poor Honduran woman in jail makes my blood boil.
Calling asylum a loophole is like calling a door a hole in the wall. It’s there because it’s supposed to be used.
no truer words are said
Typical Trump politics unfortunately and he's still going to try to get away with not accepting the result of the election. For a great analysis of how the election will unfold and how a disputed election would go down check out: ua-cam.com/video/GtstCIIkOAI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MyTake
It's there to be used for legitimate case of persecution on the basis of race, religion, political opinion, etc.. A lot of asylum claims are made on the basis of being a victim of crime, which isn't what the asylum process is for. That's an issue for their local law enforcement.
There are plenty of articles with asylum seekers telling their stories. Many come because of job opportunities and the hope of sending back money to their families. Those are not a refugee, those are an economic migrants.
@@HoangNguyen-hv1qy Did you not watch the episode? "Gang violence" not being political is a fabrication of our crime boss president.
When the president of El Salvador is a more proficient English speaker than Donald Trump.
And also admits the system is flawed instead of blabbering for 2 minutes about how the huge asylum system is the bigliest, beautifulliest system in the world (ask anyone) despite also being awful, the worst and a disgrace which needs to be abolished and replaced by walls.

@@Whofan06 My exact thought! I was scrolling down the comments to see if there were any comments about it. That clip was horrid.
Oh, absolutely!

Trump: **is literally stealing the kids**
As an asylum seeker who has been waiting for the case for three years... I just want to thank you for talking about this issue, truly, thank you!
Best of luck to you!
Keeping children without protection in a hotel?... something about that makes my stomach uneasy
I know. What's to stop those shady jerks who are answerable to nothing and no one from taking advantage of those poor kids? It's disgusting.
It's pry worse than we think! 💙🙏
Just because they did not admit who they were to a stranger trying to forcefully gain access to the children, doesn't mean they're unaccountable to anyone.
It's definitely a matter of perspective. When you watch the video clip, you COULD have the perspective that the two men were protecting the hotel full of children from any rando that happens to walk in demanding to see them.
But no by all means, go ahead and throw some gas on that fire...
When it comes down to it you're just pissed that the random man and his cameraman weren't able to wander around showing you a video of the children and their environment, there was some sort of force preventing him from doing so.... If I had to pick a word for it I might call it... Protection.
Because that could easily be child sex trafficking considering the lack of uniforms, honesty, and violence against an immigration attorney?

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” - Emma Lazarus, The Great Colossus.
The U.S. was never intended to be a "melting pot". The statue of liberty and its motto "e pluribus unum", "out of many, one", do *not* celebrate immigration. This has been constantly misconstrued and misrepresented for decades by leftwing, SJW, liberals.
The statue opened in 1886 and it was a gift from France to honor a 100 years of American independence from Britain. *It has absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do about how the original 13 colonies came together to form one nation. Not immigrants coming from all over to form one people.
Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus", was installed in 1903, a decade and a half after her death. *This poem also has absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do with Lazarus becoming interested in her Jewish ancestry as she heard about the horrific Russian programs of 1881.
I can't remember who said it, but it's been pointed out that the Statue's poem was just as radical when it was put up as it is now. It did not come at a great time for immigrants. They let them in, but they were persistently denigrated and discriminated against.
@@arberiesadiku5636 That still doesn't change the fact that the Statue of Liberty was never intended to represent or celebrate immigrants or immigration.
So I really don't get where you're coming from. Unless of course you're one of those people who needlessly go down the unrelated and inappropriate road of Native Americans were here first and we stole their land and slavery and racism, ect, ect. Yes. I know this, understand it, and I don't condone it either. Do the the means justify the ends? Of course not. But I'm not gonna deny the fact that that is exactly how other countries, including how the Native Americans, have fought for and acquired land and how they mistreated other people since the beginning of man kind. No country didn't get to where they are now by playing it nice.
Why does the US have to be the only country in the world to feel sorry and apologize for it's past even though every country is guilty of the same things too? I'm not saying what we did was ok it just seems that people like you who go down this road aren't really looking for an apology and aren't really genuine about their morality either. You just want to find some kind of an excuse to hate America. smh....
@@noesunyoutuber7680 Again, Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus", was installed in 1903, a decade and a half after her death. *This poem had absolutely nothing to do with America vying to except more and more immigrants into this country* but has everything to do with Lazarus becoming interested in her Jewish ancestry as she heard about the horrific Russian programs of 1881.
It was progressive, social-justice-oriented coalitions and their activist members who pushed to change the Statue's original meaning and symbol, ie as a symbol of the friendship between France and America, particularly as allies in the American Revolution and celebrating over a 100 years of American independence; it was also seen as an affirmation of republican ideals and a celebration of the end of slavery. The explicit connection to immigrants, in the minds of the general public, came only later-in large part thanks to Lazarus's words that Democratic, leftwing, SJW, liberals pushed for.
Anything else that was taught to you is historically inaccurate and completely made up by pro-open-borders advocacy groups. (aka leftwing, SJW, liberals)
@@_BenJaminCroft_ This would be a salient criticism if you, A: Knew Emma Lazarus on a personal level, well enough to assess her intentions, or B: Had the capacity to understand that a symbol, such as the poem, takes its meaning not from the intent of its creator, but from inspiration its observers take from it. The swastika is intended to be a symbol of peace, and in many cultures, is emblematic of the sun. And yet, that's not a particularly relevant definition for western democracies.
Sometimes art derives its meaning from the intent of the art, but more commonly, it derives its meaning from the movements it inspires. The statue of liberty, and The New Colossus, have become emblematic of the notion that America has the strength to offer freedom, and the American dream to all who have the strength to land upon her shores. While the poem may not have that meaning for you, and while it may or may not have been Emma Lazarus intent to have her poem interpreted that way; that is entirely and completely the interpretation of those who committed the poem to the statue of liberty.
Ironically, native Americans aren’t in the ingredients in the “great American Melting pot”
Because they don't need to be? They are native Americans, why would they need to melt into anything. They were there first.

I think the no-audience format has really benefited this show. John don't have to lean into jokes too much while waiting and signaling the audience to stop laughing. He can now just go off on grim subjects without prioritizing laughs.
I definitely think the more recent episodes are some of their best. If this format and tone keeps up, I wouldn’t mind.

Its not united States of Africa. 54 different languages and cultures. You know, like Europe.
@@gracemaguri6110 It is the same principle. You are extremely sensitive if this non-issue actually bothers you. Do you also get offended when somebody refers to you as "human" because it is too general a term? If you are an inhabitant of the continent of Africa, you are African; is this not correct? You guys are so desperate to find anything to complain about, even if there's nothing really there. Get a hobby.

EVERYTHING the tRump administarion dose gives me a headache and if the world was fair he'd be struck by lightning every time he exhaled.

Don't hope, vote. It's the only thing that might help her. Everything else is just "thoughts and prayers" in the face of trafficking, rape, torture, and murder.
I've learned more about history, current events, and the world watching this show than I ever learned in school or from the news. John Oliver may not be a teacher, but he deserves the Teacher of the Year award every year for life. Keep up the good work!
...comments like this remind me how different schools can be and how lucky I was to go to a school that was fully funded.
Admittedly, my school didn't teach me everything but they were pretty explicit about subjects like immigration and racism.
I'd just like to note that its been a very long time since this was a comedy show. I cannot describe how much I appreciate it. I never thought I'd trust comedians bringing news more than the news, but here we are....
Every episode of this show plunges me deeper into depression.
This season has been very depressing
Let's turn that sadness into anger, turn that anger into hope, and turn that hope into action👍
This show is the real time chronology of the decline of the US empire.
Back in 2017 I stopped watching this show and the Phillip Defranco show (which are my main sources of news) for about 6-8 months. It was only after I got my job where I try to help people every day that I allowed myself to actively watch things that would make me depressed. Because at least I'm doing my part. I watch episodes like this and wonder when I'll need to take a break again, when will the positivity I try to create not be enough to balance out the negativity of the news.
Seeing beyond the lies is terrifying. The USA is a not much better place for non-whites then Afghanistan, North Korea or Russia in general. It's mind boggling that persons who enforce the American Immigration rules are supposedly human beings. And they are probably proud about each person that they denied asylum for. Shame on you USA.
"I show them count down timer, they show me their scars" is chilling statement.
It was written for effect. very sensationalistic.
Justice for Berta!
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see what this poor woman has been put through. 💔
I hope one day John does another piece on mental health, covering both the current state and the history. It's truly terrible.

This is completely heart wrenching, I have no words for the horrors this administration has caused asylum seekers.
I love you, John, thank you for being a nerver ceaselessly pointing out injustice
If any other president came on stage and began speaking like Trump, we would assume they were intoxicated.
Or we would create another conspiracy group like QAnon
2020 rule: if you aint a boomer you cant president
Who's to say he isnt
I think the most terrifying part is that Trump does not drink. The stuff he says and does, comes from a sober person.
No kidding! He’s off his rocker!
“The English are basically the cilantro of the human race”
...
That’s it.
He’s done it
He’s found the best way to describe the English.
Cilantro is commonly used in Mexican cuisine... And it's good, very good...
There’s a reason no American ever says “I’m one-quarter English”. English is seen as the default ethnicity. You can be seven-eights English and one-eighth Italian, and you’ll probably call yourself Italian
I would say that joke fell flat, because it can be argued that cilantro is actually good for you. Unlike the English
I think John has the thing that makes cilantro tastes like soap. Because I do like cilantro on tacos.
Cilantro actually tastes good, in addition to being good for you.

As a Jew, I am deeply hurt and betrayed by all Jews who support Trump. If, as a Jew, you support his policies, you have forgotten what happened to your people. You're dead to me.
It is disturbing to me, as a Jew, to hear other Jews laughing at bigotry coming from someone who is supposed to be the President of the United States.
Reminds me of when Art Spiegelman’s dad in Maus was racist against the black hitchhiker they picked up in their car
You obviously have never been to Israel. The jewish there learned well from their would be murderers in Nazis. Anti arab and (really) anti-anything thats not Jewish slurs stream out of people's mouths in a rate that'd make a KKK member blush over there.
Humans are humans everywhere. Same evil inside us all. Dont matter the race or creed. Dont delude yourself into thinking some people are better than others just by the (ironic, isn't it) religion they adhere or the skin color they possess.
We are all evil.

I feel like the blank void takes its toll on John. His performance is getting more and more intense.
But it suits his stories very well.
By blank void, do you mean the empty studio with the plain background, or the current state of the world?
@@movietimeateds69 Thx. I Hate it
@@movietimeateds69 I think he meant both. But the intensity suits him, he's edging closer to Zazu on cocaine every week.
I dont think it's the blank void at all. John can deal with that easily. It's what the fuck is actually going on in this country that has him so upset and intense in his criticism. John is doing important work. Hes so far ahead of the daily show and late night talk show hosts
It's not the void, but all that is outside of it.
Imagine how many fewer people would need to claim asylum is the US government (under both major parties) didn't have a long, consistent history of knocking over governments as well as funding, training, and arming cartels and terrorists all over the planet.
I'm so fucking glad somebody brought this up.

Mr Oliver I admire Your and Your team’s work....and strong stomachs,mine can’t handle such a Great shit!
He's actually doing America a big favor defending its identity from immigrants and from the leftists commies
There has actually never been a truly communist nation, nor a purely capitalist one. So far, there have only been varying degrees of socialist nations. So the, "commies" you are referring to have never existed. Calling Democrats communists is the equivalent of calling Republicans Nazis. This nation was founded on immigration, so you would have to be a racist, xenophobic hypocrite to deny people the right to immigration.
@@cornyname1577 I was referring to the left in general
@@cornyname1577 people come with their ideology
That's what you don't understand and immigration is not a right its a luxury OK if it's a right accept all the immigration lottery applications no you can't
Because you know people are actually looking for a country with good economy to leech on
Let's talk about France do you think Arabs there care about France and regard it as their country no sir they came with their ideologies and created parallel communities who don't give a fuck about that country actually they see it as an evil because of colonialism and at the same time they leech on the system
@@gnawa3d Why is it considered leeching for people to simply live in a country? Why do you refer to arabs specifically, as if their race determines the content of their character? And why do you think that you deserve more just because of your nationality? That is a quintessentially fascist concept. You just seem like an entitled racist.
Also, immigration as a form of escape for helpless refugees (especially children) is not a constitutional right, so I will concede. Although, neither is running water, so maybe it doesn't matter whether or not is was written two and half centuries ago with the intention to be consistently changed.
'' lets get informed and depressed featuring frustrated British man who just wants things to get better'' tonight, the show!

"I show them my countdown timer, they show me their scars." Chilling, and honestly infuriating!
Not gonna lie...I started weeping at that point.
The people making false asylum claims are the reason it takes so long and people in need get rejected. They create this situation.
@@spiloFTW there are opportunitists everywhere in all facets of life. we can either look at them and make policies for that or we can look at those that are honest and take the good with the bad for the larger benefit of humanitarianism. it kind of boils down to how you look at people and more specifically strangers. do you look at them and see a potential enemy or a potential friend?
I understand there has to be a cap to how much immigration you can support and there will be winners and losers with that in mind. Would help if more nations were more open to immigration though.

None had told me that they are leaving their country for fun. My coworkers normally asks "Why you don´t stay here in mexico?" and the answer is the same, they are not safe, USA and Canada are their promised land, everyone say that that country is a dream come true, the land of the free... I love my country but some parts for some people are hell or even worse. Please vote, i know that your country is full, that is scary to meet new people but please, this men and women are some of the warmest people that i even known.

@Dzooky P2P It's clear most "conservatives" don't understand what created the rampant violence & problems in the countries the majority of migrants are fleeing. Psst, it started with the good ol' USA.
@Dzooky P2P Except border walls have been tried for decades with no success because the vast majority of illegal immigrants don't enter the country illegally, they outstay their welcome after entering legally. Same with drugs- they enter through legal points of entry hidden in amongst legal goods.
Not to mention the fact that, as we have seen on this very show, the wall design that Drumpf has selected doesn't even need a ladder to climb over; Just a good grip and a knowledge of how to climb barred fences.
And even if it DID require a ladder, as it has been said in the past, "A 50ft wall just creates a market for 51ft ladders."
@Dzooky P2P we are talking about people seeking for asylum, the border wall means nothing in that specific topic, they are doing legal paperwork. But you are right in the needed war, narcos are not people that you can talk with.
I would never get how the right could put a negative connotation in the word progress.
@Dzooky P2P that weird moment when you lived in greece, which as a single country, had twice the amount of refugees seek asylum as the entire USA, yet still managed. ( Sure it makes a huge loss on all the refugees it takes in, but that's why the european union helps out.) So riddle me this, why is the US incapable of handling even half the amount of reguees as a single country, while ironically spending astronomically more money on it?
PS: "because the USA can't make a profit from refugees" is a legit reason. As long as you accept the moral consequences that come from it.

Hermano, me da mucho orgullo saber que no soy el único en ver a John Oliver desde México...
Es cierto, USA no es nuestro país...
Y con mucha suerte, pertenecemos a la pequeña parte de afortunados de aquí...
Pero considero muy importante lo que ocurre allá porqué, literalmente, se trata del país más influyente en el mundo, y sucede que muchos miran en esa dirección cuando buscan esperanza y un futuro (el que sea) decente...
En mi humilde opinión, no se trata de que ellos resuelvan los problemas del mundo...
Sería muy egoísta pedir eso.
Tienen muchísimas broncas allá para estar preocupandose por las de otros...
Pero es sumamente importante que las resuelvan con sensatez, humildad, amor y en general humanidad.
Porque el resto del mundo está poniendo atención.
Me da muchísimo gusto saber que mucha gente allá sigue buscando hacer las cosas bien, quizá al menos un poco mejor que lo que lo hacen ahora, y que la gente de aquí, aún si no es mucha, empieza a elegir las cosas con sensatez.
Tuve la fortuna de ir en un viaje de trabajo a Mérida, y puedo decirte que es un lugar hermoso para vivir, y tristemente tengo que confirmar que en otros lugares de México, está muy difícil, muy feo...
Y yo sé que en este caso en particular, es muy complicado...
Hablamos de gente sin un lugar a donde ir.
Que acude a ese país, con el corazón en sus manos rogando por ayuda...
Seguro que no todos los casos pueden llamarse asilo...
Pero un buen programa o plan para ello, no es uno donde la solución sea lo mismo que ocasiona el problema.
Apoyo por completo un programa que revise los casos a fondo y que solo admita a aquellos que de verdad lo requieran, quizá temporalmente, para que les apoye con, almenos, apuntandolos en la dirección correcta.
Quizá otro país (si es que de verdad ya no hay espacio en el tuyo), quizá una institución global...
O de perdida una salida que no sea el mismo lugar de donde tratas de refugiarte de...
No se trata de que los dejen entrar, claro que como dueño de tu casa, no vas a dejar entrar a cualquiera que te pide asilo...
Y más aún, aún si quisieras, no podrías aceptarlos a todos.
Para mí se trata de la forma.
De las intenciones.
Del ejemplo que le das a otros...
Otros que tienen casas, o que quizá algún día tendrán.
Es lo que les enseñamos a los que vienen en camino.
Los que van a conformar nuestro futuro y el de nuestras familias.
Y si estados unidos cree que no tiene influencia sobre el resto del mundo:
Soy ingeniero, con 6 años de experiencia en muchos campos, se 3 idiomas (además del mío), sostengo a 3 personas además de a mi mismo, y con humildad admito que soy muy dedicado y me considero de las pocas personas que se preocupan tanto por lo que reciben, como por lo que dan... Y hace 2 días, me rechazaron de un puesto allá por ser mexicano.
No me duele saber que no me necesitan o que no soy suficiente.
Me duele saber que el "no" proviene de algo sin sentido.
Siempre que se trata de algo como esto, no solo pierde un lado, pierden todos.
Ser humano, es buscar el beneficio mutuo, aunque sea el personal...
No que todos pierdan.
Eso es ser idiota.

I would like the country to be welcoming like that again. I want the song "This Land is Your Land" to be true, that this can really be a place where anyone can come.
Don't forget this was a different time of which US had a lot of benefits from immigrants which it by no means have had later on. Look at the youtube video "Foreign Born Population in the U.S. (1850-2019)".
Back then US had lots of natural ressources and few people. Thus by becoming more people these natural ressources would at a better extent be extracted and processed.
Since 1950 immigration has led US to become a worse country. By importing poor uneducated people it has led to weak labor unions which means worse pay for the lower class workers. As the females also became accustomed to work it meant you almost in an instant doubled the supply of educated middle class people. This led to worse pay of the middle class.
Then you have the insane increase of status seeking in the US. Due to this companies like Apple and Amazon has went to get monopolicies and due to the other factors at a crazy extent increased amount of people in poverty.
If you want a USA that is good because all of the people is wealthy and happy do not support immigration because you will end up like Bangladesh.
If you want a nation that is more prosperous than Norway, where everyone is happy and wealthy you need to stop immigration.

How on earth does having a bunch of poor, uneducated people weaken the labor unions?? You don't need to be rich or educated to join a union; in fact unions are meant to help such people. The reason labor unions are weaker now than they used to be is because politicians & corporations have been doing everything in their power to weaken unions for decades. Because, surprise, the people in power don't like it when workers actually have the ability to demand better conditions for themselves.

My dad was just pulled over, arrested and sent to an immigration detention center for not having a government ID (You need a SSN to have one). He is now being sent to mexico next week, leaving me, my mom, and my 7 little brothers and sisters alone with only myself as a source of income working at a fast food joint. I have no savings, I have no other family members. Dear God please help me take care of my family and protect my dad from any harm
7 brothers and sisters sounds like too many
So what you mean to say is that your parents are illegal immigrants not immigrants?
the rest of your family should be going there too, tbh
🙏🏽❤️
Don't listen to the haters. Living in a country for so long should give some type of residency.
I am not expert but a social worker might be able to help. There is also food banks.
Reach out to your community, there are good people out there.
The whole ‘deal’ with this country is striving for a place where everyone can do/be better, that children can do better than parents and so forth. Seeing things like this should prompt far more than outrage. That lady is someone’s grandma...
@Pat Mgroin Hence 'deal.'
I get the response "but they broke the law" when I bring up the child separation policy....
I don't get entirely what you said, but what I do get, is that America can improve significantly because it's their pride, liberty, inheritance and rights that makes them more confident and possible in achieving goals and dreams that makes it more unique than any other country. Even though the setbacks reveal obstacles, like inequality in all forms of humaneness, violence, disasters and diseases, etc. But the few will triumph succeedingly and their legacy will be remembered! Let's be real, If there's no America, there's no video games. Lest you'd be playing goh with China for the rest of your lives!
If seeing anyone suffered prompted outrage then slavery would've ended after the firs few days. You sound so stupid pretending Amerikkka has ppl capable of sympathy. Killing the racists and white supremacists destroying this world is the only way to get things done.
@@effyoo6081 The worst type of person is someone who walks through a door opened by others and locks it behind them. Your wife's* family immigrating over is the same as "I have a black friend". The system has worked in the past, but it's been purposely set up not to work currently. Glad your wife's* family immigrated over legally, but that process can take 20 years now.. tell someone who's survival is on the line to just hang around for 20 years and you'll see if you can get to them. Yeah, sure. Your post is full of Xenophobic garbage and I can only assume your wife* secretly hates you for being a racist. Good luck with all that.
*The wife probably does not exist.
Why is there little criticism of the governments and judicial systems of these countries? There's plenty of corruption there that if fixed would help to resolve this situation.
Meanwhile, asylum seekers are simply trying to survive. The reason the criticism is leveled at the U.S. is that we're in a position to help, and there's a legal regime in place for us to do so, but we're refusing. I'm sure if Jon Oliver was Salvadoran, he'd spend the episode talking about their government instead.
To even want to go to America, knowing how they will be treated, shows how bad the situations is they are fleeing from. It's like escaping a sinking ship and the only life boat has a lion in it that might just tear you apart if you're not careful
I have to say, as someone living in Europe, I am HIGHLY interested in the young voter turnout this time around.
They are turning out in droves! Thankfully!
I can tell you that early turn out from both mail-in and in-person is high. As for the new voters (Those who turned 18 since the last election), enthusiasm is high and have seen higher registration rates than ever. There are people in their 60s who are voting for the first time in their lives.
they are voting in exponentially higher numbers than the generations before them did at the same age.
I sent mine off even though it's just another drop off water in the ocean here in deep blue NY (another tick for Biden). Honestly I dunno if everyone is gonna vote. Hopefully we vote these clowns out
Many of us are voting for Trump.
