Here are some facts.

Sweden takes in the most immigrants (only muslims, we deport christians to be killed) in Europe, 95% of them are not refugees (UN source).

Sweden now has become the capital of Europe when it comes to rape and antisemitism.

And 1 of our political parties just suggested that we should introduce free immigration (no standards let everybody in) And they would like our population to rise from 9 million to 40 million.

And you think your country is in trouble.

Hmm, guess I'm not the only angry Swedish here :)

Bad comparison, cell walls allow things to go through. Otherwise they would die.

Who said the US brings in these immigrants to help the impoverished of the world. Its only to serve their interests. Argument is based in false assumptions but this video would make for a good gumball commercial.

It's complicated at the same time it's not. Where do we draw the line of what's humanity and what's cruel? I believe this is a question of right and wrong and if some people's lives are worth the welfare of others. If immigration ceased to exist, the growth and welfare of countless nations would probably succeed in a faster rate than today. The problem lies within the conscience. The will to help is an obstruction to the greater good. I don't blame politicians, it's a very complicated area.

With regards to immigration, I see countries like cells in biology. If the cell walls are compromised, the cell will no longer be protected and it will eventually die. The integrity of our language, borders, and culture is being compromised by this relentless immigration. Add to that the stealth ideology of the progressives working to destroy this country for about a hundred years now, and anyone with open eyes will see that we're in a heap of trouble.

Those millions that have come to western country will make as many gumballs as they done in their previous country very fast. You who bring these people to undermine your own people for cheap labor will be unemployed very soon because the new jug of gumballs will be working for 1 dollar an hour in USA and locals will do the same or starved. Then the repoman coming for inflation after you pay. Stop now or starve.

[Brian H.]

Use your words and say how it is false. If you can.

[Brian H.]

Not if everyone says it. They can't kill you all.

[Ken Dahlin]

Social justice isn't the only argument for immigration just as economics isn't the only argument against it. The most interesting thing about this video was the crystal stemware used to represent the United States.

[Wild2Do]

I wonder how we could chew ourselves out of this one.

[Bob Roberts]

We can't cure world poverty by impoverishing the U.S, though somehow this seems to be the obamunist solution. The problem is the people who get here LEGALLY from other countries are often their "best and brightest".  Those who complain their countries are hellholes need to STAY THERE AND FIX THEIR COUNTRIES, not ruin ours. I'm actually pro-immigration, but they need to come here LEGALLY.
