00:00:00.000 And this was just another Australian thing as well.
00:00:03.380 But again, I talk about these things because a lot of them translate over here.
00:00:08.420 This is another, I guess you could say, falsehood that we get told here as well in Canada.
00:00:14.320 And I would be interested to see this, but it's very difficult.
00:00:16.860 It's difficult in Australia, too, to find statistics, right?
00:00:20.540 Because they hide a lot of these statistics, especially ones that are based on ethnicity or country of origin or whatever you want to call it, right?
00:00:28.260 we are told right the the lie which i mentioned a bit earlier with the boomers pensions and stuff
00:00:35.080 like that the big lie that we're being told is that we're getting old right like the the population
00:00:43.020 in general is aging we're not having enough kids to replace the tax base um so they're bringing
00:00:49.400 over working age people that are young that are going to contribute for you know a long period of
00:00:54.320 time to the tax base of that country. But the reality is, and we see this antidotally with our
00:01:01.220 own eyes, you know, we hear about it, is that a lot of these people are middle aged men that are
00:01:08.260 coming over. So like in their late 30s, early 40s, which at that point in time, if you're living in
00:01:14.440 one of our countries, the retirement age is 65. And at that point in time, you're eligible for
00:01:18.940 government benefits to support you after that right so if you come over here and you're 45
00:01:24.300 you're only contributing assuming that you're working like the government's telling us that 0.76
00:01:30.300 you're doing you're only contributing for 20 years so again bullshit right it's funny you need to lift 0.98
00:01:38.660 it this is bullshit right if you're if you're bringing over people to replace the tax base 0.99
00:01:47.360 that's not being born why are you bringing over people that are you know 20 out years or so out 0.97
00:01:52.040 of retire or away from retirement that doesn't make any sense why wouldn't you be bringing over
00:01:55.820 and i don't want any of them but i'm saying like why would you wouldn't you be bringing over 20
00:02:00.180 year olds like it doesn't make any sense this tweet is restore australia says white people 0.98
00:02:06.340 are apparently useless don't want to work have skill shortages are bigoted backwards racist 0.99
00:02:11.900 supremacists aren't educated and have an aging population these are the myriad arguments thrown 0.99
00:02:16.920 at us by immigrants to justify their presence in our nations. Then they argue that third worlders
00:02:22.420 who are even less skilled from abject poverty, from war torn shitholes where civilization never 0.98
00:02:27.940 took hold can somehow make our nations better. But even more retarded is the aging population 1.00
00:02:33.140 argument is always thrown at Australians despite migrants being eight years older than us on 0.83
00:02:38.980 average. And that I again, I would love to look this up if I could find the data and maybe I will
00:02:44.160 look into it but here in australia the median age of people born overseas in australia is 43
00:02:51.920 and the median age of people born in australia is 35 so they are younger the median age in australia
00:03:00.240 that were born there is 35 now the problem with the statistics is they could be first generation
00:03:04.860 immigrants right or second generation whatever you want to call it but it says why is because
00:03:09.960 most of them migrate as adults rather than being born or arriving as young children. And that is 0.95
00:03:15.760 the bulk majority of the migrants that have come into our country and Australia over the last 10 0.62
00:03:22.000 years. They're not born. They're not people that are born here. They're people that have migrated 1.00
00:03:27.240 here as adults, mostly. So even though they're, you know, a lot of times they have kids in our
00:03:33.560 countries, they're not necessarily bringing kids over. They're adults that are coming over and
00:03:39.100 then they have their anchor babies so i thought it was interesting because it's another way to
00:03:46.100 debunk their argument about the fact that we're getting old and we're not able to you know keep
00:03:52.680 the tax base at a level and you know the funny thing about this whole thing too and this is
00:03:58.060 obviously i'm referring to canada in this regard but again everywhere is that they never consider
00:04:03.340 spending less. Like, if us as private citizens, if you take a job, like a cut in your job or your
00:04:12.120 income, or for whatever reason, you lose your job, because you are, you know, labeled a racist online.
00:04:19.560 You have to live under a budget, right? So you know that you only have so much money
00:04:24.160 to be able to be used, you don't generally spend more than that. So my question is that when
00:04:31.720 you realize that shit you know we don't have the same number of tax and i don't believe that's true 0.98
00:04:39.220 because i think it's just because they keep increasing the population that they need more 0.98
00:04:43.720 taxpayers but whatever let's say that their argument is is sound and that they don't have
00:04:48.140 enough taxpayers to keep the pensions going for the boomers and keep the care going for the boomers
00:04:52.760 that are getting older and stuff like that they never once come out and say okay before we decide 0.97
00:04:58.920 that we're going to import a bunch of you know incompatible people and use them as slaves to
00:05:06.900 pay into this why don't we cut the expenses first why don't we cut all the money we're sending
00:05:12.920 overseas why don't we cut all this kind of stuff never do they consider that and I think that is
00:05:18.180 because in reality all of these countries hey Rodney all of these countries are beholden to
00:05:27.260 like i said whether it's the wef whether it's the eu if they're part of the eu they're beholden to
00:05:32.780 some sort of higher kind of agreement or that all of them especially well obviously all western
00:05:38.160 nations for sure are beholden to this kind of agreement that we're supposed to facilitate this 0.98
00:05:45.940 kind of spreading of the third world cancer amongst all of our countries so that like the 0.99
00:05:51.040 whole globe is um chocolate milk i guess does that make sense chocolate milk fuck i hate insulting 0.97
00:06:01.040 chocolate milk like that just like and i i don't think i uh yeah i don't think i i don't think i 0.87
00:06:06.780 saved it but i'm sure you guys heard the um jd vance had made the announcement of the h1b
00:06:15.820 suspension the visas here's the basic problem something that we've been working towards
00:06:20.340 fixing in the Trump administration for a long time. The H-1B visa program is meant to allow
00:06:26.420 companies to bring in really the best of the best from outside the United States of America
00:06:30.800 for positions that are completely impossible to fill with American workers. Unfortunately,
00:06:36.220 the program has become rife with fraud over the last several years, probably the last several
00:06:41.460 decades. And here's the basic game that American corporations and foreign corporations will play.
00:06:46.820 They will say, maybe they'll put an advertisement in a small town newspaper, they'll go out there
00:06:50.960 and say that we have advertised for a position with our company and nobody is responding to it.
00:06:56.920 And they will use that lack of a response to then go and replace American workers with what
00:07:02.660 is effectively foreign indentured servants. And I'll get into that in a second. But these are 0.63
00:07:06.760 not people who are coming into the United States of America, these H-1B visas with the full rights
00:07:11.400 of an American citizen or an American employee. They're coming in and being mistreated by their
00:07:15.860 employers and being used to undercut the wages of American workers. Now, there are two ways this
00:07:20.720 system fundamentally works. The H-1B visa is how the people get into the United States in the first
00:07:25.680 place. And then a PERM program is how those employees stay. So after a couple of cycles of
00:07:33.020 H-1B reapplication, the companies will then apply for a PERM, a P-E-R-M, which will allow the employee
00:07:40.840 to stay get a green card and potentially stay in the united states indefinitely i think we talked
00:07:46.480 about it on the space on thursday but uh yeah they they basically found and and this should
00:07:54.060 happen here like there's tim hortons walmart all that other stuff should be banned from using the
00:07:59.860 lmia uh process right in the u.s it's the h1b they call it and well it's really the perm program that
00:08:08.040 they're talking about, which is the program that makes you a permanent resident after you've been
00:08:13.840 on H-1B. So I guess in short, how it works in the US is their LMIA process. So if they need to get
00:08:20.820 a worker from overseas, they have to go through the same thing, right? So how it works is they'll
00:08:24.460 say, you know what, we desperately need 1000 workers in tech, and we just can't we need them
00:08:30.600 in a short period of time. It's just impossible to hire that many locally. So where we need some
00:08:37.160 temporary workers in that's their temporary workers h1bs right they'll bring in a bunch of 1.00
00:08:41.240 h1bs well what'll happen is that those h1bs the reason they're coming over here especially the 0.99
00:08:47.320 indians is because they automatically assume that's going to translate into permanent stat 1.00
00:08:52.480 like residency and it does because this is a scam right so these companies will get these h1bs 1.00
00:08:59.840 over and then you know they have a deal with them okay well you know once your contract is up your 0.91
00:09:05.140 year whatever it is you're supposed to be here for working we will hire you on as a permanent
00:09:11.680 a perm they call it right so like we'll say that we'll test the market we'll say that you know we
00:09:17.100 absolutely could not find an american that could do this job so we need to hire this temporary
00:09:22.200 worker as a permanent full-time worker which means we have to keep it like he has to stay here
00:09:26.360 and what they would do is how they would test the market is they would put a small little 0.96
00:09:32.440 advertisement for the job in the newspaper and who the fuck reads the newspaper classifieds anymore
00:09:39.600 so they wouldn't post it online they wouldn't post it on like you know these job websites they
00:09:46.420 wouldn't post it like send out emails or anything like that they would literally just put a little
00:09:51.360 tiny square advertisement like it was 1960 saying you know this job with very vague details and then
00:09:58.060 basically say that well we didn't get anybody uh any takers for this job so we need to hire
00:10:05.400 this person right um so they've discovered that that i mean that's one way they scam
00:10:10.440 um and this is what you know these companies are suspected of doing microsoft adobe a lot of indian
00:10:17.820 run employment agencies were involved in this so the u.s has suspended their ability to
00:10:24.500 hire on
00:10:27.280 perms. So they can't get any
00:10:28.960 permanent workers
00:10:30.300 from overseas right now
00:10:32.960 until this investigation
00:10:34.840 concludes, basically.
00:10:37.580 So yeah, that's
00:10:38.880 what he made an announcement
00:10:40.680 and that's what they should be doing
00:10:42.820 here because it's a pipeline
00:10:45.000 to immigration. 0.98
00:10:46.920 It's cheating the system and there
00:10:48.920 is, you know, well it's fraudulent
00:10:51.020 like I said. And why
00:10:52.780 should they... 1.00
00:10:54.500 get more advantages over any other you know immigrants if you're saying you want to apply 1.00
00:10:58.740 it fairly then why are they getting an advantage you know it's like i said it's a scam it's a whole 0.98
00:11:04.640 fucking scam so hopefully yeah and this is why zelke brought up a good point election bait right 0.95
00:11:12.420 midterms are coming up in the u.s donald trump's administration is trending lower than they were 0.99
00:11:19.600 at the beginning which is not good for midterms
00:11:23.260 so much like all you know political parties they're going to throw out some
00:11:29.040 election bait to get people more on their side because
00:11:32.380 you could look at the fact that why wasn't this done
00:11:36.080 a year ago right it's not like this is a new scam this hasn't just started
00:11:40.300 happening so yeah more than likely that's what it
00:11:43.960 is i mean i guess for the american people they should take
00:11:47.380 the winds where they can get them but whether this will actually put a dent in anything who
00:11:53.940 knows right like this could be just performative to get people talking about it to get people
00:11:58.700 saying well you know i know trump hasn't done much in the first two years but look finally
00:12:03.360 we're seeing some results of the administration and it's like i think oh yeah it was earlier today
00:12:08.560 i was in a an x space and we were just talking about how you know governments people think that
00:12:14.380 what they're voting for is like, it's never the same. You know, obviously, they're going to come
00:12:19.800 out and tell you everything you want to hear to get your vote. And then they can totally do a 180
00:12:24.500 once they get in office, like we can look at the ones that cross the floor. Like we can't do
00:12:29.600 anything about that. So it doesn't really matter at this point in time in this day and age what
00:12:35.180 the politician says while they're campaigning, because they never keep their promises and nobody
00:12:39.620 holds them accountable to it. There's nothing we can do. We have no mechanism in Canada to remove
00:12:43.720 people from office.
