Why Lou Dobbs Should Demand A Stop To Legal Immigration

[THE16THPHANTOM]

His reading this from something alright.

[grpaw]

Bullshit, it is the beginning naziism, it is exactelly how it started in Germany in the 30s, then it was the jews, now it is anybody who looks or dresses different, all you need is someone with the charisma and insanity of Hitler and you are of and running

[blazinkev]

i value your opinion but i respectfully disagree.

[MrConservative504]

Your argument for those obtaining degrees and not finding work is flawed. You should factor in how many of those students you mentioned may have done better and how many others have done more poorly. That affects their chances of finding work. In addition many of the jobs that were once commonplace are becoming more obsolete. We live in a changing world now.

Many jobs are not in demand like they used to be several decades ago. Much better work can obtained by through vocational education.

[bcainw]

Good try, no Cigar. The main reason Americans are loosing jobs is their age and not their skill level. And most foriegners come here at 22 (Illegal) and 27 (Legal). Most Americans getting displaced are over 35. In point of fact the main driving force behind immigration is blatant age discrimination. It costs 2 times as much to insure a 50 year old than a 35 year old. Immigration is fueled by Corporations that want cheap labor. That is it in a nut shell.

[MrConservative504]

No special treatment for Americans! I think it would be hypocrisy if we didnt, dont you Mr Cain?

[MrConservative504]

Hahahaha! Good luck with that!!!

To be fair. If we are going to have moratorium on all people immigrating to America, then I think you should have a moratorium for all Americans taking up residence in other countries! How about that? Just for fairness. There are many American retirees that are becoming legal residents in countries like Panama and Costa Rica. So I think we should put a moratorium on all immigration out of the country.

[digger316]

WE ARE ALLOWING THEM TO COME IN BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER. If you lose your job to an immigrant, it's your fault, you were not good enough.

[donhector87]

Lou Dobbs is a dumbass... but at least I can't tell when he's reading from the teleprompter.  Your videos suck.. not to mention your perspectives.

[juanisaac]

Here is the problem. What about if I marry a foreign citizen- I can't bring her/him and be together? What about if I adopt a child? Are political refugees, like those that helped us is Iraq- are we are going to leave them to die? We can't sustain or take care of all our baby boomers without immigration. So I disagree. Over consumption, not over population is the problem.

[ruffhouse81]

Fiot71, I agree immigration has ruin the USA. I have seen towns cities and jobs have been taken over and guess what its not just latinos the asian, arabs, and the africans (ethiopianans so on) are taking this country right before your eyes. STOP IMMIGRATION NOW.

[NYredwhiteandblue]

This is how they will globalize the US. look up Robert Welch speech here in youtube... how did he know all this would happen

[nohumanbeingsillegal]

The very country that refused to sign Kyoto, has the largest carbon footprint in the world and almost drove the bufallo to extinction, is worried about environmental sustainability through immigration?

[nohumanbeingsillegal]

1:21: "By 2060 Hispanics could become the predominant nationality in the United States; for the first time Caucasians would become a minority".

Hispanic is a nationality? And why compare it to Caucasians which certainly is no nationality? You guys never had any problem pushing Native American population into a corner, so why the fuzz now over Caucasians becoming a minority? In time you'll get over it, I'm sure.

[nohumanbeingsillegal]

I agree, it makes no sense at all. Money has been wasted on Iraq, Afghanistan; it's the same old trap the US fell in as in the Vietnam era. But has outlawing marihuana ever worked, or outlawing alcohol? America has always been a country of immigration, legal and illegal. Only 2% left now of the real Americans.

[nohumanbeingsillegal]

If that's what you want, then we should also stop all American immigration to Europe! You once invaded America violently, forced African slaves along, and now want to stop others from settling? Then we'll make sure there is a "GO HOME YANKEES!" sign at every European airport.

Oh, and don't be so goddamn childish about znotty's typing error. You knew damn well what he meant!

[skylinefolife]

Tell him. Also, legalizing Marijuana? Lol Where do you think it comes from? Have you also noticed the billions of dollars being spent on the war? lol... Come on, man. Cut back on the things that aren't needed. Why would you stop LEGAL immigration? It makes no sense. Look at it this way, look at China. They will be more powerful than us before you know it... The biggest economy, IN THE WORLD!

[klined]

Nice video. I still favor open immigration.

End the welfare state. End the warfare state. End the war on drugs. Abolish the IRS. Abolish the Fed(dont replace it, no central bank needed).

I don't fear population growth or resource exploitation. The price system rations and inspires resource discovery.

I would ask you to please do not tax me to support your policy of preventing me from doing business with people I like. To tax me to pay for your desire to keep out immigrants is tyrannical.

[klined]

Most of the problems listed are not caused by immigration, but by a lack of property rights, including those natural resources mentioned.

If water was priced rationally by the market instead of by politics, it wouldn't matter how many people are using it, the price would automatically ration it.

[znotty]

poor old Bruce thinks he`s setting Americas agenda.

your just useing this issue to promote your hatred of Mexicans,dont ya Bruce,you hate Mexicans.

[bcainw]

Obviously you didn't watch the video very carefully. The primary problem is overpopulation. We cannot sustain further population growth which is predominantly due to legal/illegal immigration and the fact that many groups (e.g., hispanics, muslims, catholics) have historically used high birth rates as a weapon against other cultures. So no, I dont' hate any group or ethnicity. You on the other hand don't seem to handle the truth of the situation.

[znotty]

So Catholics,Muslims & hispanics use high birth rates as a weapon,your a racist scumbag & to ingorant to even know it

[bcainw]

Not sure what "ingorant" means. Did you mean ignorant? At any rate you seem to lable everything you disagree with as racist. It is rather well known that these groups have used population growth as a weapon. That is one reason why the Catholic Church opposed birth control for so long. Stop hiding behind your own biases by labeling every inconventient truth as racist. It just makes you sound dull.

[SixtiesFan90]

@Bcainw: Nah. The Catholic Church was always working with them too. The real reason they opposed birth control was to stop people from having sex whenever they wanted. They have never ever been truly on the side of the people{goes for the rest of the Christian denominations as well post-Nicaea} and most likely never will be.

Anyway, I did like this video, although I wonder if maybe we should just put a 10 year moratorium on immigration instead of 20.

[bcainw]

Thanks for that reply. The reason I call for 20 years is because I believe it will take 10 years to gauge the damage that Legal and Illegal Immigration have had on American workers. And that needs to be understood in great detail so we don't make similar mistakes in the future.

[LikeItIs0809]

ZNOTTY. You're age 44? Got children? Wife? Ever thought about going hungry, you or them? Know how many US businesses closed this year and jobs lost? Maybe it's time you do. Bruce wasn't talking about Mexicans. He's talking about everyone who wasn't born here, whites to. Any hospitals closing near you? They are here. The latest here is most of a large university. They blame it on Hurricane Ike. They have to treat illegals, fed law, translates to free 4 them. A secrete plan for years I'll bet.

[znotty]

I live in Australia,no one goes hungry here,i have two sons,both born in a public hospital under Australia`s National Health care system,both had the best of care & I didn`t pay one cent besides the Medicare tax all Australians pay to fund it,its not that hard,instead of bailing out big business,fund Schools & Hospitals.the wife`s a drunk so i`ll have to see about a Govenment rehab!!!

[mowry27]

At 1:23 you said that the Hispanics will be the predominant 'nationality'. Are you implying that all them do not have the US 'nationality'? It is funny that American citizens with Asian or Hispanic ancestries, even many were born here, have often regarded as foreigners or other nationality. Many of them are as American as anyone of us who care for this country.

[iggymanoneoone]

I want ot study in Hardvard University for MBA course. In this moment, I will inqure to make a legal immigration by student visa. Why racism is cause for Legal immigration?

[AlxMar5]

Also, you claim that xenophobia did not constitute your argument, but just listen to what you said in 1:23. Sorry, but that is xenophobic.

[AlxMar5]

I think you should consider what many of those same multinational corporations have been doing to migrants over the years (many of those who actually cross over here as a consequence) instead of continuously scapegoating innocent immigrants. I think it is a shame you have such narrow views when it is the corporations, not the individuals, who are responsible for all this. I certainly know the world is overpopulated, but that does not mean immigrants should be barred from this country.

[bcainw]

It sounds to me like you just can't handle the truth: the world, much less the US, cannot handle further immigration. But I do share you view that corporations ARE most certainly complicit in this. That is why the "New Agenda for America" has a plank stipulating recinding all Free Trade Agreements. This, I hope, will result in higher wages for those Illegal Aliens once they are sent back home. Just because I don't want to become a minority does not make me a xenophobe.

[iggymanoneoone]

It is related to North American Union. History is answered why immigration by means of settlements. I want to live in America without legal immigration documentation.

[bcainw]

I just checked out your YouTube site.

Great YouTube page. I don't get the C3/ICE connection however. Care to explain that one?

At any rate check out my website and you'll find that I don't focus on any one topic though do believe both Legal/Illegal Immigration should stop immediately. I'd be interested in knowing what you think of my larger project: the "New Agenda for America."

Yours in Freedom,

Bruce W. Cain

[bcainw]

I'm no more a pot head than someone drinkng, a beer a day, is an alcoholic. But in any case pot heads are fine with me.

[DanielleBologna]

Penicillin has saved 100's of millions of lives who would otherwise have died from infection.

[bcainw]

You lost me there Danielle. What is the connection between penicillin and immigration?

[bcainw]

If this is the mother who just lost a husband and two sons, I am so sorry for the grief that you must now be enduring. Hopefully, ending Legal/Illegal immigration will stop such needless suffering in the future.

[adilene25313]

FUCK YOUU!!!!!!!!!!!

you dont even NOE

wht yur TAlking about.

[bcainw]

Sounds like an Illegal Immigrant to me. You can't even spell correctly.

[bcainw]

Obviously you were not paying much attention to the video. My argument against further Legal/Illegal immigration is based on the fact that we cannot sustain further population growth. It has NOTHING to do with xenophobia.

[mowry27]

Here is another idea: Why don't we also stop Americans who are moving to a more crowded Europe to work, live or study. I am wondering what will happen to this country if it is the rest of the world who closes its door on us (that includes trade and manpower).

Why don't we just think of a way to fight poverty in other countries so their people do not have emigrate to the wealthier nations.

[bcainw]

The rest of the world IS closing its doors on us. As Ben Franklin once said: "We either hang together or we will all soon be hanging separately." By stopping all immigration we give ourselves the opportunity to regroup for the challenges that most certainly lie ahead.

[ysonyou]

What is astonishing is there is never any discussion on exponential population growth in the American presidential election. Candidates seem to think we have unlimited resources. I live in the southeast, and a day never goes by without discussion on our (several months now) drought.

[thenerd2009]

Immigration is inevitable, such as the markets, you cannot control them, so its in everybody's best intrest to make the best of it. Its the 21st century, an era of free flow of information, goods, services and people. Capital and labor go hand in hand. There are too many things to point out in your comments which are plain wrong and mistaken.

[bcainw]

Oh come on "nerd," give it a try. Just list 3 things that are "wrong" with my arguments to stop Legal/Illegal immigration. While you're at it also explain how we will accomadate another 160 million people in the next 10 years.

[OAXBORN]

why not just one.

[fIXjACK008]

Poeple using Marijuana is Inevitable, are you saying it doesnt make sense to legalize Marijuana also..

No legalize marijuana, and stop Illegal immigration.

[bluescommander]

Although you come across as extremely xenophobic, I think you have some good points about economic sustainability. I don't agree with you about ending all immigration, simply because this country was founded by immigrants. I do however think that we desperately need to find a way to secure our borders against illegal immigration and impose a limit on the number of children people can have. The world really is bound for hell in a handbasket unless we get control of our population.

[bcainw]

Thanks for the comments. There is an old Buddhist aphorism which states "you can never cross the river the same way twice" because the river is always changing. At one point in US history, immigration had merit. Today it just brings all of us closer to peril as resources become increasingly stressed. Rest assured I am niether racist nor xenophobic. But true peace, as fleeting as it can be, requires detached analysis and eternal vigilence.

[fIXjACK008]

Oh they have control of the population.

Not the way you or I want it though.

[rayvivaray]

you suck as a public speaaker

[bcainw]

I see you're from Mexico. Could it really be the case that you just don't like my message? Do you happen to favor a stop to Illegal Immigration into the US from YOUR country: Mexico? But do consider that the NAA will get rid of your Drug Cartels which should help civility in Mexico.

[rayvivaray]

Yes I am from Mexico. I actually support the fact to stop illegal inmigration. I don't undertsand the fact to stop the legal but respect your point of view.

YOU SUCK AS A PUBLIC SPEAKER BECAUSE YOU DONT MAKE EYE CONTACT TO THE CAMERA, YOU READ THE WHOLE MESSAGE FROM SOMEWHERE.

I think USA should be more strict with the border security but stablish a guest worker program to offer those jobs americans do not want to do. (agriculture, cleaning services)

[rayvivaray]

The problem with drug cartels should be mainly reduced when americans realize drugs are bad and stop consuming. D you think YOUR country and all americans could help with that???

[bcainw]

Drugs are niether good nor bad. I like drugs myself: caffeine, alcohol, marijuana etc. But actually NAA wants to make it completely legal for adults to consume and cultivate Marijuana, which will deprive both Mexican and US drug cartels from making another dime off the sale of this incredibly benign drug.

[ysonyou]

Perhaps if the drugs were not so rapantly available people wouldn't use them.

[bcainw]

I'm new to the video medium and yes I do read off a teleprompter. Stopping both legal and illegal immigration is based on the fact that the US is beyond it's carrying capacity. NAA will benefit Mexico by ending NAFTA and by taking ALL profit from the Marijuana smugglers which should significantly reduce gang violence.

[rayvivaray]

Someone who does drugs (no matter if is only marijuana) can't be right.

You need ome help physical and spiritual.

Dial 911 for more information

[bcainw]

Crick, who discovered the helical structure of DNA, recently admitted that this epiphany came to him under the influence of LSD. He is certain that without the LSD he would not have made the synaptic leap of understanding.

[rayvivaray]

ha,ha you are a funny guy. Many others have made horrible things under the influence of drugs like killing, raping, and destroy their own lives.

I totally support you keep doing drugs hopefully those will kill you soon.

[mpolo79]

This BS is all code speak for 'Don't let whites become a minority!' He's teaching bigots how to hide their bigotry behind claims that the infrastructure won't be able to support more people.

But wait...won't all the new immigrants be able to build all the new infrastructure necessary??? Hey dude...I just found the solution to your problem. More immigration.

[bcainw]

Try watching the video one more time. What I am really suggesting that every nation needs to take responsibility for the stabilization of their respective populations. We cannot be an overflow valve for the world dispossed. The "racism" argument has been discredited.

[mpolo79]

We can't be an overflow valve for the world dispossessed??? Who do you think founded this country? And who has continued to immigrate here over the years and helped to build this country alongside the children and grandchildren of the dispossessed who first landed on these shores...

[bcainw]

There is an old Buddhist saying: "You can't cross the river the same way twice because the river is in a constant state of change. As our country gets "filled up" we also have to change and put an end to immigration. Deal with reality before it deals with you.

[mpolo79]

"Filled up"?? Can you tell me the exact number after which we will be filled up? After we hit that number can you tell me how 100000 more will destroy our country? Please provide specifics here. If you can't define this number and defend it, your argument is false.

[bcainw]

Watch the video again. We are already endearing water shortages in both the East and the Southwest. Obviously more people will excacerbate that problem.

[illegaldestroyer]

I think a legal immigration rate of about 250,000 a year would benefit this country. There are some outstanding people who want to immigrate, and we would benefit from having them become Americans. However, I agree that having 2 million poor people enter our country every year is f*cking insane!

[bcainw]

I think those 250,000 Chinese, Indian and other elite, that want to come here, are better off staying home and helping their own people with their great intellectual gifts. A third world "brain drain" only server the elite of these countries.

[mpolo79]

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. You actually want the world's most gifted people NOT to immigrate here?!?

[bcainw]

All people are gifted. But as long as the US can find cheap labor outside the US: US workers will continue to be overlooked and underutilized. One result of this reality is unprecedented age discrimination against older workers (e.g., over 40).

[Dwyight]

Thank you for the thoughtful and rational discourse.

[bcainw]

Check out my website and you will see I do support Ron Paul. Just placed my vote in fact (MI Primary). But I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can work on both concurrently. Thanks\BC

[mpolo79]

If you support Ron Paul you completely misunderstand his platform. Under a Ron Paul administration, even more of these people would be coming here since we would need them to work in our booming economy.

[bcainw]

I don't support Ron Paul's full agenda but see him as a wrench in the Neo-Con machine. It is quite clear the American people will demand that any elected President bring a halt to both legal and illegal immigration.

[pelonley1]

so fruit is not important . you do not want me here, but what obout the millions of employers . what are you going to do with this people and bussnes sendem over seas.americans worst misstakes have been slevery , iraq and illegal immigration, all of them were preventeble

[REWHBLCAIN]

Great video Bruce, I have passed this along.

[pelonley1]

hoo is going to mantein the old americans your kids? are you native

[ncarolinagreene]

Huh?  Type english.
