Immigration - What you aren't being told

[marysik27]

Isn't that unconstitutional to require people to have vaccines? I believe it should be only a personal choice: to let someone to invade into your body with a dangerous substance that kills your immune system, or not.

[marysik27]

I feel really bad about being forced to have all necessary vaccinations 10 years ago in order to get my US documents. I didn't know enough at that time about the danger of taking the vaccines. If I had to make this choice now, I would rather stay in my poor country (which is ukraine). Now my husband is on the way here, and if we don't find the solution how to avoid this poison, I'm definitely leaving. Not to mention all this process costs a lot and they increased the fee significantly.

[mobydickhead1]

We are so spoiled and self absorbed that we don't even consider the desperation it would take to even risk getting caught by border patrol. They are only trying to get out of a very bad situation. Who knows, the way this country is going, we might be in their shoes soon.

[Asephei]

I got some perspective out of this great video, thank you for sharing your experiences! Some of it I have been aware of such as exploitation of illegals for cheap labor. Also, concerning the Arizona SB1070 law, there's a short video on YouTube you can watch about how the private prison lobby practically wrote it, which guaranteed access to more prisoners at the taxpayer's expense, so there's actually a profit motive to arrest people. To find it search on YouTube: "Immigrants For Sale".

[umfk26]

Excellent video filled with very useful information. No wonder why so many people come into this country illegally. The businesses aren't punished because they fill the pockets of the politicians. If you stop the flow of illegals, it stops the very cheap labor that corporations can have access to. Who wants to be treated like a criminal when following the law? Completely ridiculous. A bunch of bull crap.

[wisdomtrek]

The Totalitarian Two Step, I like that! Everything, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, is moving towards the Biblical prophecy of 666, the Mark of The Beast. Putting aside religiosity save as a convenient tool I agree that's the ultimate destination. Which means I'm a dead man. As it stands now the ENSLAVEMENT process is too far advanced as is, further advancement is a no-go. Tell that to the "authorities". Think they'll listen?

[EdsonAvilaTorres]

The free market will always do what the government has failed to do, no matter what.

[wakeupscreaming]

The Globalists want whiteys like you hooking up with Latinas and asian girls because you'll no longer criticize immigration, legal or illegal. Any resistance to immigration, and it's ultimate goal of lowering wages, will be curtailed. Looks like you bit into the bate.

[KevinMerck]

Build a wall a mile high and a mile deep at the border and it won’t stop people from coming if they know they’ll get a job on the other side.

Our government knows this. They know how to stop illegal immigration but they refuse to do it for the simple fact that they want those people here.

The “only way” to solve the problem is with huge fines and *prison time* for those who hire these workers. That’s not an original idea and shame on “storm clouds” for implying that this is his idea.

[Houshalter]

Any country powerful enough to keep people out is powerful enough to keep them in.

[starmanskye]

Thanks for this relatively even-handed, objective & insightful vid. I hate seeing immigrants, legal or otherwise, getting slammed with thinly-veiled rascist remarks. What's usually ignored is the primary role US (and other) financial elites, backed by government practices & policies, have played in causing the financial decay, violence, corruption & repression in Central Am & Mexico -- which drives illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a hot-button issue exploited by political strategists.

[Tanarus20]

Irony about the "Patriot Act"

They set up cameras to spy on citizens. Read through peoples e-mails. listen in on phone calls. (THERES NOTHING PATRIOT ABOUT ANY OF THAT!!) Think about that for a sec...

[centervilletn]

my grandmother is a ww2 warbride from Belgium...she has lived here since 1946...she has to renew her visa to this day...she chose to retain her belgian citizenship ...

[centervilletn]

another thing people dont discuss is that most of the mexican and central american aliens are of aborignal/indian not european decent...when is the last time you saw a mexican of spanish decent laying bricks? racism plays a factor in illegal immigration.

[centervilletn]

one thing that is never discussed about Mexico is that our open border serves as a "presure release valve" for discontent-disinfranchized mexicans ....basically we provide "somewhere else" for disidents to go ...seal it up...and Mexico erupts into civil war or revolution...Americas politicians dont think thats a good idea ...NSA, CIA advise against sealing up the border..they are afraid of 10s of millions of mexican refugees trying to escape mexico....

[jonah70757]

Your comments about The US being like a Police State is why approximately 30 Million Americans have expatriated out of this country in the past 10 years. They feel bad things are approaching. I agree.

[knowthingman]

difficult and arduous legal immigration laws + lax legal penalties for illegal immigration = a system that tacitly approves of illegal immigration.

there is a reason and a design to all things government. dont believe for one second anyone that tells you that those in power are merely incompetent, corrupt, or inefficient. its much worse than all that.

[Larkinchance]

Excellent!



[TheGarmites]

Yep. My wife is Bulgarian. We went through all the same stuff. She did get sick from the shots, though. Sigh... I think we're going to move to Europe soon. Means I'll have to give up my Bulgarian rifle. I'm already studying French and Bulgarian, though. -Just to keep my options open.

[countryhorsefive]

It took my sister and her husband seven years to gain legal entry into the US. Your description is comparable to theirs. It became clear that the process was designed to wear them down so that they would give up and go away. By the time they came to the US, the process had been so unpleasant that there was no longer anything to celebrate and do not feel welcome here at all. No American Dream for them.

[plalelal]

If we fought for the immigrants rights to decent pay and stop the usury. This will protect our pay some what. We also have the scourge of Temp Agency's which further rape American workers. They take typically more than half what they are paid. We need legislation that cuts this take to a reasonable %, say 20 %. ,

[unknown1730]

METALLICA \,,/

[1983JuanCarlos]

Yeah/ I agree with you this immigration system is so fked up! Just one more thing don't use this to say illegal immigrants are taking jobs When we all know most Americans are not willing to work on the fields, Burger places, etc. Thanks

[roppokai1]

@1983JuanCarlos AT THIS POINT YES THEY ARE AND WILL AS OF DEC 1 2010 UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE CUT OFF NO EXTENSIONS AND ONLY SIX MONTHS OF BENES FOR NEW FILERS SO AT THIS POINT TODAY THEY WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ANY WAYS THERE ARE MORE THEN ENOUGH PEOPLE HERE ALREADY AND HALF OF THEM ARE LEACHES WERE STUCK WITH FIRST AND FORMOST WE NEED TO CLEAN OUR OWN HOUSE BEFORE WE THINK OF INVITING OVER COMPANY PERIOD! FROM A BROWN AND PROUD AMERICAN CHICANO. CHICANO POWER VIVA NUESTRA FAMILIA THIS IS

[roppokai1]

@1983JuanCarlos OUR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! VIVA LA NUESTRA FAMILIA CAUSA FUCK ALL WHO COME TO INVADE OUR LAND ITS OUR BACK YARD THIS IS OUR MONEY FOR THE TAKING RID THIS COUNTRY OF ALL ILLEGALS AND TAKE FROM THOSE WHO ARE HERE RAISE UP AMERICANS THIS SYTEM OF GOVERMENT IS DONE GAME OVER WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

[zjones1222]

My problem with this video is that the person behind the video is a criminal. He wants Americans to go to other countries and break their laws to experience freedom there without contributing. That's insane and in his case he not only did this to Mexico but Germany and France. We are all supposing to sympathize with illegal immigrants because of processing and paper work. Give me a break, we all has to deal with processes and paper work we disagree with, but we do it because it is right.

[1983JuanCarlos]

@zjones1222 You comment is so funny. Talking about moral! BS That's something not even our politicians believe at all! Now if you tell me that robbing is not a good thing I will agree with you but that would be a total different thing

[zjones1222]

Every country has immigration laws and America is really alot easier because some require you to have skills. What's happened here is that we have a great number of unskilled workers. In Canada they want skilled workers specifically by field. It would make more sense to me to allow those with skill and education into a country instead of those less skilled. Australia has a points system used by several countries and the United States unlike Canada is not apart of it.

[zerk54]

Very thought provoking perspective. Thanks for posting. It's too bad you only have about 1500 views on this.

[canisdormit]

It sounds reasonable to me. If you don't like it, then stay the fuck in your own shithole country :)

[FunkDoppler]

Wether you agree with the system or not.

All would agree that Mexicans have run a muck. But these folks do nothing to change their own country and do hellish to the social system .

One could make the argument that the road to American is the path of less resistance. The federal governments are indeed in cahoots. Good points Storm!

Anytime I travel to a foreign country I carry a copy of my passport.

Who says we need to have so much immigration. It would be environmentally better to stay put.

[1983JuanCarlos]

@FunkDoppler Just one observation. Do not generalize when you say Mexicans don't do something to change our country! or we don't hellish to the social system! I did and most of my family have! So please don't generalize

[FunkDoppler]

@1983JuanCarlos Look man neither did my grandfather whom came from Jalisco. But this was before liberals made it the state's and governments business to enable this to shit to happen to society. Face it the bosses want the cheep labor/slaves and Washington is the enabler it. Dude it like a bad marriage and we the Citizenry ie taxpayers are the kids in the middle getting hurt . And all I here is apologies for these people whom are reversing progress!

[Boromonkey]

Yeah, this must be some leftover liberalism showing. As far a AZ goes, we do have an employer sanctions law. It's not very effective...too much I.D. theft. 1070 is probably a bit misguided, but it's about all the state can do. There's no way the feds will allow the state to secure the border or deal with the cartel-occupied war zone in south central AZ. Trust me, much of Phoenix is a s**t hole and drug and human trafficking/kidnapping drop houses are all over the freaking place.

[pauswa1966]

I carry my driver's license everywhere I go, at all times! I want anyone to know my identity at any time. I was born here in America. I would not object to showing my ID if asked by authorities. When I visited Germany, I carried my passport AT ALL TIMES.

I also think the immigration laws should be strict since we already have enough people here, and also I agree that if you want stray cats to go away, you stop feeding them. So all the businesses hiring illegals should be fined for that.

[roppokai1]

@pauswa1966  I AGREE TO BUT IT WONT HAPPEN

[Siggy4844]

So why are you whining about the requirements? I came to this country from Germany with my American husband who was in the military at the time. We had to provide lots of documents too and my husband, as my sponsor, had to provide income verification to show that he was able to support me. What do you find wrong with this?

You should be ashamed of yourself for entering any country illegally, you are a criminal.

[Muzzy337]

You're whining about US procedure as if it's "supposed" to be an easy process?? What is your basis for this? This is the greatest country in the world and its core strengths are being eroded away by illegals. Just because the process is difficult DOESN'T MAKE IT WRONG. Our wealth needs to be protected and used BY AMERICANS, NOT ILLEGALS. Just because a law is in place doesn't mean you can break it for your own "convenience". Non citizens having to show their documents is NOT BAD- IT'S ESSENTIAL.

[2hotinaz]

I live in Arizona, and I'm torn on this subject. In Tucson we have a large homeless population. These people seldom have any identification at all. What happens to them, even if they are obviously American born but cannot come up with required identification? Because you're right. The police could decide this is an easy way to get 'rid of the problems'. Arizona has lots of problems, and I think they're compounded by our way too lenient gun ownership/use laws. It's scary.

[chipmunkrubberbands]

Metallica!

[GBlues1]

Woe, woe, woe. Dude. I agree with you on the guns, but on immigration, I must disagree with you. First and foremost, does it not make sense to know who is coming and going??? We are at war on several fronts my friend, and to not know who is in your country is recipe for disaster. 2nd, of all, you may have purchased land in Mexico, but you didn't own it. They can and have taken land from people at any time they so choose and chose. 3rd, unless you speak french, you ain't getting shit in france.

[cowboylarry82]

wow.... thats all i can say is wow.... go wave an obama flag somwhere cuz your just as socialist as he is. idiot.

[SyxtySyx]

@cowboylarry82 /watch?v=NG7i4GpyrQM there is you and your float of sea men (or semen as you say in the marines . )

[SpiritsisterEBR]

uh huh.

[SpiritsisterEBR]

The process you described that your wife went thru to become a citizen did not seem invaisive at all. Yes, they verified your finances to be sure that your family could afford to live here & wasn't just moving here to become supported by the system, why would you feel that was unfair? Additional immunizations, anyone moving here from other countries could be exposed to/carrying illnesses not common in the states. Fingerprints & other verification that she isn't a criminal, it is a fair request

[StormCloudsGathering]

@SpiritsisterEBR - She didn't just get fingerprinted, she got a full biometric screening, that means iris scans, fingerprints and photos from every angle, and this was at the last stage, after they had already verified that she had no criminal record. You have to understand that this government wants every citizen (that means you) to have to go through this kind of police state processing. The laws have already been proposed.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@SpiritsisterEBR - As for the vaccinations... The immunizations they proposed contained mercury aluminum and formaldehyde... I read the label. We managed to get out of this, but I'm not going to say how. This same vaccine has caused deaths and brain damage in many cases. We had done the research, so there was no question of giving in.

[plalelal]

@StormCloudsGathering There is a great video here by a Dr. on YT as to how to avoid these immunizations.

[stealthswimmer]

@StormCloudsGathering

wow, that's messed up

[tuberknotube]

@SpiritsisterEBR 01 if you deal with the man, you can see what he's doin', SCG says, all that really needs to be done is look at the employers of illegal aliens, instead they're scanning YOU. Who breaks the laws on the scale of corporations? Who's in jail? Selective enforcement. Any system practicing that ain't earned the right to a citizen's total personal information.

[plalelal]

@tuberknotube Exactly! It's their allowance of the few (illegals) designed to deny the rights of the many citizens. Typical.

[jabbott100]

As tough as this was for you, it's the law! And, after you made it through, was it not worth it? You have to show proof of income so we don't add another person to the long line of welfare recipients! I don't know what you're complaining about!

[StormCloudsGathering]

@jabbott100 - You totally miss the point. And no I'm not happy that my wife has a full biometric profile on record with the government now. You think it's good we're progressing towards a police state? This kind of thing starts with immigrants, but they are already trying to apply it normal citizens. This is not what America is supposed to be.

[jacubatzi]

there are fundamental steps (the order is open for debate) 1) enforce labor laws 2) reform the immigration system 3) secure the border (more of a national security issue). NOTE: it's not a requirement to become a citizen to work here legally. finally, the fed government is REQUIRED to uphold current immigration law and refusal to do so is tantamount to tyranny. if the law needs to change then congress should quit worrying about re-election and SERVE THE PEOPLE! REFORM IMMIGRATION NOW!

[Timasion]

No offense, but you must be lying. An American citizen CANNOT purchase property in Mexico without permission of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@Timasion - You call me a liar then I take off the gloves. I stated very clearly that I had to go through two weeks of paper work with the government to get permission to buy land. You obviously don't speak Spanish and haven't spent the time I spent living in deep Mexico. If you had would have met dozens of Americans who own land there outright. Please don't waste my time with your offensive manners and ignorance or I will block you from my channel.

[Timasion]

@StormCloudsGathering I am pointing out an obvious untruth. After researching Mexican law, I discovered that you could not have purchased the property in Mexico. That you claim you did and that you are an expert makes you a liar. Sorry, but that's the way it works.

If you were able to purchase property, the people who sold it to you broke Mexican law.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@Timasion - I didn't break Mexican law and you may have read something on a website about Mexico written in English, but I lived there for over a year and a half. Your chump ass internet research counts as nothing up to real life experience. I warned you fair and square about calling me a liar. You are the first person that has pissed me off enough to do this, but you are now permanently blocked from my channel. Good riddance.

[1983JuanCarlos]

@Timasion

I'm from Mexico and my friend you don't base your opinions on what you read in an article over the internet. TIMASION is totally right!!

[AlusaBird]

Thats a scary thought, things usually happen in increments. People will start thinking "oh its only immigrants" then they will probably make citizens show papers and they will say "oh its for our safety to make sure there's no terrorism" and it would keep closing till something happens and there's martial law, I am not a conspiracy nut but I do see these things happening evidence is everywhere. By the time they enforce that it will be too late for people to to say no.

[PjPony123]

I also know how immigration works. My husband is British and my son was born there. I was my husband's sponsor and he came here legally.

[PjPony123]

Many illegals are being murdered for the money they pay coyotes to get them across the borders or they die in the back of trucks or heat of the desert. I want them to come here where they can be fully free and not have to fear being caught or killed before they arrive. The government needs to do their job so this is possible, but they should not come here illegally. Bottom line, it's the law and the law is made to protect our citizens first.

[PjPony123]

I never said all illegals are bad..but they are illegal. We are a nation of laws and unless we return to that, our country will not survive. Just as all illegals aren't bad, they are also not all good. There are many gangs and criminals that take advantage of the open borders to come where they can gain more by committing crime and violence, knowing they will suffer no consequence for their actions.

[mtb416]

wah wah wah

[CTastic1]

Good you act like it's a bad thing. I hope everyone has to go through the "rigorousness" of becoming a citizen in America. Citizenship is a priv, not a right. And to be a citizen means you must love this country, learn the Language, and be a productive member of society. Not spread disease. It's a big deal that they are here illegally. I want to be protected in my own country. We aren't even getting that. God forbid if muslims think they are ever taking over.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@CTastic1 - You miss the point. The system as it is ENCOURAGES people to enter ILLEGALLY.

Also, there is no justification for forcing my wife to undergo a full biometric scanning. That isn't rigorousness, that's fascist totalitarianism. She is clearly not a security threat. Nor do they have the right to demand that I make a certain amount of money to be married. If I was poor then I would not be able to live in my own country, as leaving my wife is not an option.

[steelhorses2004]

@StormCloudsGathering I agree with you here. Illegals get better treatment than those trying to immigrate legally. The system does encourage illegal border crossers. Imagine getting free healthcare, foodstamps, ADC, free schooling, drive a car without a license or insurance, section 8 housing, free school breakfasts and lunches, in some places free college education. Live with your extended family here and send most of your money back home. Beats trying to survive in mexico or elsewhere.

[CTastic1]

@StormCloudsGathering No YOU miss the point. We are under attack by terrorists. They want to declare Sharia in the United States. I feel sorry for your troubles, but we need to make it complicated or else EVERYONE in the world would live here. seriously.

[MarilynBow123]

Thank you sooooooooooo much finally the truth!!!!!

[GioSafari09]

Hello there. I very much appreciate your perspective. I was in support of Ron Paul and the "libertarian" ideology throughout the 2008 primaries... seeing Obama take the reins and run our country deeper into a giant pile of shit has made me something of an anarchist. For the most part I can't stand the "Tea Party" ideology and I appreciate you showing that the police state encouraged by the AZ law is antithetical to a libertarian philosophy. Peace, brother.

[steelhorses2004]

As an illegal in france were you able to participate in their welfare system? I won't even ask about mexico since it's non-existant. One big isue you didn't touch was our border. Many think that is the first step in reforming immigration but the politicos won't touch it either.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@steelhorses2004 - As for welfare in France If I had wanted to use it I could have, but that's not my thing. As for the border... militarizing the border won't do a bit of good. If you want to keep them out then take away the incentive... go after the employers and they will stop hiring them. No one hires them then they stop coming. Very simple.

[josephsystempro]

storm, i think you are EXACTLY correct in your assessment of the immigration issue...i thought the same thing also when they declared that they had passed the arizona law, that it was not just for the immigrants, legal or illegal, but that the underlying reason was to crack down on every citizen, bad precedence...i also appreciate your insight into the US immigration process, and there is a horror story i can recount concerning that next...

[josephsystempro]

when i was in Germany, i had to go renew my US passport at the consulate, and a wile there i overheard a man who had been living legally on the German economy after separating from the army, was going through a hard time...the euro had just been standardized and he was close to destitute because of economic issues then...he had a German wife, and had kids with her, but was basically told that unless he had so much money he would have to leave them in Germany...

[josephsystempro]

what also made it much crazier sounding was that he had lived with his family state side in the army for several years and they were not allowed to go back without first passing through this insane immigration process, even his dual citizenship children...so i can verify your points on every level from personal experience and through observation of other cases...

[StormCloudsGathering]

@josephsystempro - I never tried getting legal in Germany. I can imagine they could be strict. As an illegal though they never harassed me though my passport was checked several times (the passport showed I had been there far too long, but they never said anything.) A lot depends on how you approach the system. My wife and I researched the French laws before going to immigration.

[NewAmericaNow]

Thank God someone else feels like I do. Most of the people that formerly saw eye to eye with started demonizing me for being against the Arizona law. I understand the frustration about illegals but giving government more power is never the answer. Thanks for the video.

[AllahConsciousness]

You don't gain entry into the western bulwark of Satan's global Reich without having your soul sodomized first...Sorry 'bout that folks...It's just the price you pay to be a slave in Babylon.

[AnduinX]

I agree with much of what you've said. In addition to fining business I think we should also have the military patrol the border rather than leaving it wide open. Also, we should give no social services or health care to illegal immigrants. That would take away all incentive to stay here and prevent any more new illegals from coming through. Cheers.

[gone556]

kick all the illegals out!!! No more welfare America is broke

[Ozlanthos]

Give me a break dude. The first question a cop asks you when they pull you over is "Do you know why I pulled you over"? The second question is "May I see your license, proof of insurance, and registration please"? If needing these documents makes this a police state, then I think I can endure it. Car insurance shouldn't be a requirement, but if you are driving, I WANT the cops to make sure you are doing so LEGALLY. If they happen to find out you are here illegally in the process SO BE IT!

-Oz

[TheJourney000]

@Ozlanthos You are obligated to show identification when driving because driving is a privilege and not a right. You must be licensed to drive. However, you do not need a license to exist. We have inalienable rights to be free of unreasonable search and seizure, or at least we did. That was when people understood their responsibility in maintaining freedom.

[Ozlanthos]

@TheJourney000 What is your point? You just said that driving is a privilege. If you are in a car, and happen to be driving too fast, a cop has an obligation to pull your dumb ass over as you are constituting a potential threat to other drivers. How does asking for your license under these circumstances constitute a violation of your fourth amendment rights?

-Oz

[TheJourney000]

@OzlanthosIt requires being stopped for another crime or infraction. Police cannot just walk up to people on the street and ask to see their papers: FALSE This law only requires “REASONABLE SUSPICION” during any “LAWFUL CONTACT”. “REASONABLE SUSPICION” is a much lower standard than the probable cause currently required. Lawful contact is any contact that a police officer/state agency can lawfully make. This could be while reporting a crime, going to school or even walking down the street.

[Ozlanthos]

@TheJourney000 Re-read the bill dude. If you are here illegally, you have no expectation of not being deported just because you reported a crime, or are going to school (which you should be doing in your native country anyway!!!!!). And no, they cannot just stop you for walking down the street. Show me in the bill where it says they can, and I'll show you where it says that you can make a counter-claim against them for doing it!

-Oz

[TheJourney000]

@Ozlanthos Existing laws already require people to show a driver’s license. This is not any more than that: FALSE “LAWFUL CONTACT” is not limited to traffic stops, so a driver’s license is not already required to be given to an Officer. Giving your full name is the only requirement in existing “Stop and Identify” laws, not showing any “papers”. Any driver's license will not be sufficient. Only I'D. that also requires proof of legal presence in the US is acceptable.

[TheJourney000]

@Ozlanthos There is a difference....

[xcitingtimes]

I completely agree with you. I've been through the exact same experience but instead in Italy and with an Italian wife.

[Cookiefox]

You have stumbled upon the "facist" shift america is taking. I suggest that you check out Naomi Wolf if you haven't already. Also, if your wife is French, why the **** did you decide to live in the US? The last sentence I mean in the best and most positive way possible.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@Cookiefox - We came to the states and bought land to prepare for what we believe is going to be a world wide financial collapse. In France land is so expensive, and building codes so rigid that it was not even an option. If you watch my other videos on the economy it explains that a bit.

[Cookiefox]

@StormCloudsGathering I can totally understand, but seeing that the US is an extremely unequal society don't you think the collapse will be more severe there? I mean, its already quite dangerous to live in certain poor parts of the US, I don't know of anything like that existing in France or western European countries. Personally, when shit hits the fan, I don't want to be faced with the American egocentric mentality. I think choosing USA based on land price was a bad idea, but what do I know :)

[nld1960]

I am a naturalized citizen. We had to wait 1 yr for a visa, my dad had to have a job, we had to have all our physicasl ,our shots. We had to have a place to live, sponsors.That was in the old day. People did not mind doing things legal. Before the Europ.Union, let me tell you how hard it was in some countries there to become a citizen. Now that it is relaxed, they are having immense problems, immense!.Sweden- bombings, Holland-no money. Immense problems.Now you know the problems they are having!

[nld1960]

@nld1960 To contin. Due to the Europ.Union and political. correctness, places like Sweden cannot turn people away, so indigent Muslims are flocking there in droves. Things happening there that Swedes have never dealt with.Bombings, schools taken over, killings.School with only 4 students.Sharia law is forced, it gets worse.Newspapers are not allowed to report this by law. Professional and highly trained Swedes are leaving in droves.Holland, France, England--the same.What do you say about this?

[StormCloudsGathering]

@nld1960 - They need to be much more strict about Muslim immigration. It is a serious problem. People need to be interviewed to insure that they are in agreement with basic cultural and ethical standards before being allowed in. As it is most French are afraid to say anything negative about Islam, though many are angry.

[Dubsackjack]

thanks for that perspective, one step closer to objectivity!

[piptaac101]

I would have to agree that we are fast approaching a police state. Our govt. is growing way to rapidly without restraint, even it seems with our congress in place. Great vid.

[veritasfiles]

You can't buy propery in Mexico as a non-citizen. All you can do is lease it. You can usually do so for an entire lifetime, but it's not owned by you unless you're Mexican. We agree more on this issue than we disagree. Given the perceived terrorist threat, I'm not surprised that the American system is the way that it is. You're right, we do need reform on every level. But I agree with the Arizona law, and it is a step in the right direction.

[parejon97]

@veritasfiles The American immigration law it is been the way it is for quite some time now. Even before 9/11, so I dont think it has to do with terrorism, but I guess you can argue that it has made it worst.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@veritasfiles - I'm sorry but your statement is incorrect. You are probably getting mixed up with Ejido property which gringos can't buy. I bought 1.5 hectares outright and legal in Veracruz and turned around and sold it the same way I bought it. I had full title just like any Mexican citizen. There is a two week approval period for non-residents. You have to be careful when you claim that something is impossible, especially when you are talking to someone that did it.

[parejon97]

Finally, someone that make sense! Man, I been arguing with a bunch of people that is convince that ALL illegal immigrants are drug smugglers, killers, kidnappers. I know a lot a lot of people that is illegal in this country including some of my family and none of them is even close to that. Like you mentioned, all they want is to work to support their families.

[parejon97]

@parejon97 I been frustrated for a few weeks now because I have not been able to clear up all the misconceptions the media and some politicians have created around the whole illegal immigration issue. I agree with you 100%, keep it up bro!

[DeathOfTheDollar2010]

Very well done SCG!

I think that one would have to give a set of fingerprints. I did for my gun license. I don't see why they need a retina scan if they have fingerprints. I could see if a person had some skill or education that would be good for the country. I agreed with you that money should not be the underlining requirement. It sounds like the policy wants people to be illegal. This way the company's can pay a lower wage.

[hrosemd]

Great vid.

[Richlz28]

I like the video. Can you tell me which country had the best common sense approach to immigration? What do you think the process should be?

Rich

[StormCloudsGathering]

@Richlz28 - I don't know exactly, but I certainly don't think my wife should have been bio-metrically scanned, and I didn't like the fact that they would refuse us if I didn't make enough money. I think just removing those two requirements would be a start.

[jimbobubbadj]

@StormCloudsGathering I'll have to disagree with you here bro. A country has a right to look out for its best interest. An income and/or skill requirement is a great idea. There is nothing wrong with trying to attract the best and the brightest.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@Richlz28 - France was easy to deal with, but not necessarily common sense. They should be more strict in some ways I think, but for complex reasons. They have a problem of violence from the large Muslim population in their ghettos. I would say they need to be more careful to make sure people believe that women are not property, and that freedom of speech has to be respected before letting them immigrate... but that is a whole other topic.

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

thats what happens with every country! i know because my friend is trying to become a Citizen in Spain and it's hard for her

[StormCloudsGathering]

@BLACKBEAUTY8989 - It's not what happens in every country. Like I said in the video, I dealt with Immigration in more than one country and the US was the worst that I had found. That said, it is possible that Spain is also difficult. I never lived in Spain.

[Myrmecia]

Thanks for the new information, SCG. Objective, not wildly passionate & with a sound partial solution: go after the employers. Hope you mean this to include the employers of domestic help, too. (It would be nice to see middle class Americans doing heir own housework for a change). But you treat this as if it were an issue of compassionate and efficient application of the law. What about the environmental issue? The US is vastly over-populated and needs fewer people - from any source - not more.

[jimbobubbadj]

@Myrmecia Dittos, that is the most important issue and it is not being discussed much.

[2hotinaz]

@Myrmecia : Wait! I work over 80 hours per week most weeks. I HAVE to have someone to help me keep my house in order, not cos I'm lazy but because cleanliness and order are important to my mental well-being, but there aren't enough hours in the day for me to keep it up on my own, not to the standards I need. However, my (8 hours per week) housekeeper is American, and I pay her well and follow all laws concerning SS, etc. This being said, MOST 'middle class' Americans DO do their own housework.

[jimbobubbadj]

I agree that the best way to deal with illegal immigration is to enforce the law requiring businesses only hire US citizens. Also another way to deal with the illegals is to not provide entitlements to them. No driver's licenses, no school including college and primary school, no welfare, no free medical care, etc.

[jimbobubbadj]

@jimbobubbadj Also no anchor babies!

[Myrmecia]

@jimbobubbadj Pardon my ignorance, but what are "anchor babies"?

[jimbobubbadj]

@Myrmecia An Anchor baby is automatically a US citizen if born here even if both parents are illegal. In Germany, the baby has to be legally born there in order for it to be a German citizen.

[Myrmecia]

@jimbobubbadj - Thanks. If neither parent is a US national, then I reckon the baby should take the nationality of one of the parents. I also oppose the practice of dual nationality. It should be abolished.

[medini2]

@jimbobubbadj many countries have laws that you have to have over 50K in the bank at all times to live in their country. here, if you're not a citizen, no worries, all you need to do is go to boa & open a checking acct, sign a lease, and after a few months, leave it (don't forget to trash all the window screens & break the floor tiles) in the middle of the night,, "anchor" babies in tow & who is going to hunt you down?, the police? It's insane to invite this kind of trouble.

[jimbobubbadj]

@medini2 I still go along with having illegals deported and having their papers checked if they where stopped by the Police for some other violation. Dittos about it not being a good idea to invite this kind of trouble.

[parejon97]

@jimbobubbadj More misconceptions about illegal people, tell me if you are illegal, which state will give you a driver license or a college education? As far as medical care, if you go to a country like Mexico, youll get free medical care if you need it. It will be inhuman not to do it. I honestly hope you learned something from this video; there are many misconceptions about the whole issue.

[jimbobubbadj]

@parejon97 Check out numbersusa "its all about the numbers" Too many coming here. Its costing taxpayers tax and wages. Over population is an issue. I want to keep my culture, I don't want another one. For an emergency medical treatment is fine. I did not say anything about all illegals being drug smugglers. Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington give licenses to illegals. NY wanted to but there was a big uproar about it, including from me. What should I have learned?

[LivingHistorySchool]

Interesting information, but we have a big problem with meth being brought to Oregon from illegal immigrants

[jimbobubbadj]

@LivingHistorySchool Tell Aaron to chime in here Bro.

[gollyanamegame]

Your right about the hiring practices, but 47 states already have Laws that demand you have papers on you in Public and have you ever seen a episode of Cops when they didn't ask everyone in the car for their IDs..every time..liked your blog its making me think..YA for Rand Paul

[PjPony123]

I have to respectfully disagree with some of your comments. When you were illegal in France, you weren't planning to take over parts of their country, you weren't smuggling drugs across their borders and you weren't planning on killing all of the white "Europeans". We need reform, but our borders need to be defended from invasion.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@PjPony123 - You are making some pretty extreme generalizations. Most Mexican immigrants are just here to make money doing shitty low paying labor. In that sense I was no different the first two times I went to France. I worked on vineyards illegally taking a shitty job from some Frenchman. In this video I was addressing the misconception that every other country in the world has draconian immigration laws.

[medini2]

@StormCloudsGathering Yes, change the laws to make iimmigration a more pleasant experience. But, I don't believe America should be taking in any more people than there are Americans immigrating to those countries. We don't have the infrastructure to accept any more growth & we can't rebuild it. FYI:Our prisons are popping at the seams & some are closing& going to Mexico. Maybe when our incarcerated citizens leave, we can take in some more Mexicans, lol.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@PjPony123 - I've live with and worked side by side with a lot of illegal immigrants in the US during my time on farms. I am not for open borders, but I can tell you that 99.99% of them are just here because they are poor and they want work. When I was illegal in France I was in a similar situation as they are. I ran out of money and I went to work in a vineyard. If you want to defend the borders, then make it where it isn't profitable to come. Enforce existing labor laws.

[ChicoBallers]

@PjPony123 Who said anything anything about drugs or killing whites? Did scared lazy white men say that? My parents are immigrants, worked the fields in Cali but I am college educated at SJSU. My parents were the servers of many but like many immigrants children, they are accomplishing amazing things in academics. Sorry what they told you but immigrants are taking over and thriving with the endless opportunities and many whites are so lazy that they get angered when they got surpassed by SPICS

[charlesvan13]

I know first hand that you can be denied a visa for Australia just for having a non-contaigous pre-existing medical condition. They're more strict than the US.

[Airave]

True what you say. There is good reason

republicans (and dems) don't regulate immigration.

Profit. I also brought my German wife into US

in early 80's. We felt the same way back then.

Some of the questions we had to answer brought her

close to tears and me close to anger. She was treated

like a criminal and/or diseased whore. In reality she was

a decent person, productive, and an RN. It was humiliating.

I never had to go through all that when I moved to Germany.

[stevo728822]

The Mexican labourers and many millions more around the globe are working for $200 a month so that Americans can enjoy low prices for their food and goods. If you want to stop it then pay 5 times as much as you do for your products so these people can have a proper living wage. Or work for $200 a month.

[medini2]

@stevo728822 The economy is so bad now that people who are unemployed are being profiled as criminals & if they ever get caught for a petty crime, they don't get any favors from the justice system.. Young people need to learn how to work and they need jobs. Right now there are not enough paying jobs for them. Senior citizens are taking those jobs, cause they aren't afraid to work and they can't make it on social securtiy.

[heavenguy]

Dear sir. You know how the stuff its really happning. im side by you 100% all the way.

[medini2]

.

Talking about making immigration laws simpler is great, but that won't stop the illegals from coming thru or the ones here already from taking over. Nearly every Mexican woman i see has a baby on the hip, one by the hand and one on the way..they're always in the free clinics, getting all kinds of "free stuff". wow. this country is toast, for far too many reasons. good bye usa.

[jimbobubbadj]

@medini2 Time to get rid of anchor babies!

[parejon97]

@medini2 I guees you asked every single woman you have seen their nationality and their legal status, right? LOL

[medini2]

@parejon97 Of course I did not ask them, since the mothers i am talking about speak only broken English & it's politically incorrect to ask anyone their LEGAL status in the USA. If you do, they will likely tell you they belong here as much as you do and it's none of your business. I did not make the assumption that they were unmarried. The only point I was making was they are putting out babies much faster than the general population, &i can see w/ my own 2 eyes.

[StormCloudsGathering]

@medini2 - If you enforce existing labor laws they won't waste their time coming. The trip here cost them $2000 to $4000 dollars (which they pay to the smugglers called coyotes). They make an average of $7 -$10 a day in Mexico, so you're talking about a year's worth of work. If they can't find work here then they won't come. It won't be worth the risk.

[majikspell1]

Thanks for helping understand afew things about this issue.  Im sorry your wife was made to take Vaccines because they = Poison.

[seks03]

great video and very good incite into the immigration system

[WoodlandRavah]

If you ask Mexican officials, they definately dont like people comming through their southern border, IE Venuzuelans... Sounds akin to how we dont want a river of people comming to our boarder just because the US dollar is temporarily worth a crap. BTW the already have the right to ask for your papers, try getting stoped by an officer and have no documentation whatsoever, guess whats gonna happen, there gonna hold onto you untill they know who you are. NICE MUSIC PIC!

[medini2]

@WoodlandRavah The Usa/Canadian borders have been clamping down for the past year..Huge question...could it be that our illustrous leaders actually did something right and anticipated a mass migration of people in the usa going NORTH?

Look what is happening in the gulf states and when that oil slick goes up the atlantic coast people will be going inland and north. What happens when someone throws a match on that slick? That oil is 300 feet deep.

[WoodlandRavah]

@medini2

The info about the oil slick is over stated, but the rest of what you've said is spot on, the "migration" as you put it would, I belive, be motivated mostly by economics.

[medini2]

@WoodlandRavah Haven't heard about the oil "blob" coverup? It is miles and miles long and wide and like a river under the ocean, in a kind of frozen state and heavier than water...It's on the move, moving toward Florida where it is starting to break up into tar balls there...of course bp is saying it has nothing to do w/ the oil spill. It is a complete catastrophe that is being covered up. see at oilprice dott com

[WoodlandRavah]

@medini2

Im only looking at it from the perspective of natural history, yeah this is probably the worst oil leak in millions of years, but I remember being told that there are oceans out in the world that are continuously seeping oil, obviously not some gusher like we have here, but from my observations it wont be a problem a decade after the fact, with or without our help. Sand, UV radiation, wetland grass and weird micro organisms that fix the stuff as part of their metabolism.

[stemite]

@WoodlandRavah Not rocket science to figure out how much oil is spilling & bp is lying. I'ts equivalent to 1 exxon valdez every 4 days accd to scientist at

purdueexponent dott org

Bp and usa gov lies.

[medini2]

check out believersunderground on the oil spill topic...quite interesting channel. i will say, in light of all this, i am seriously thinking that we should give all the mexicans that are already here citizenship. it really would be the gracious thing to do. all the "freebies" are due to stop soon, and they won't be coming across the border illegally very shortly anyway. Viva la raze!

[WoodlandRavah]

@stemite

"Many liopohilic bacteria are a good source of Biosurfactants, hence are used commercially, e.g. Bacillus lichenoformis. These kind of bacteria produce Biosurfactant which replaces chemically produced surfactants, Biosurfactans are degradable unlike the chemical ones" - wiki

We should as humans do all we can to clean this s@#$ up, agreed, but even if we were'nt here nature would fix it.

[Michigansnowpony]

What you went through with your wife's immigration is VERY much like what a family goes through with an international adoption in bringing a foreign child into their family.

[WhitSpurzon]

Excellent insights.

Finding the balance is the challenge. Retaining sovereignty vs. liberty, I don't want to give up either. Reform is long overdo. I doubt very much there is the political will to do it.

I never really understood the mindset of Americans that feel it is somehow OK to pay someone less $ for the same work because they are a foreigner and believe that they are doing them favor. Sure you get cheap tomatoes but you lose living wage jobs.

[nonsenseical]

I agree with you 100%! Is there anyway we can get more laws like this in to effect?

[goru426]

I deal with many immigrants all the time, because I work in the hotel industry!

Right now in USA south Americans are treated as criminals! Through out the years I had many experiences with out immigration system, and I can say that it is a draconian system!

We don't let people come here legally, but at the same time we don't want people to be illegal neither!

We have to pass comprehensive immigration reform, in order to fix this mess!

[synn1980]

Agreed 150%!! You nailed it bro.

[theeastwatch]

thanks for the vid and your insight.

-TEW

[geraldcaron]

I am Canadian. If I was pulled over in Arizona. I would show my passport and driver's license, yet I wouldn't be able to show anything that would demonstrate that I am legally in the USA, because the passport doesn't specifically say that I am withing certain time limitations. With a law pointing out that you are guilty untill proven innocent, what can you do ?

[ubuibiok]

What you're not being told about the immigration issue , based upon personal experiences.

[Theladiesman04]
