Summary

The negative effects of mass immigration from third-world countries on Western nations has become all too apparent, even for non-academics like myself. A growing body of research highlights significant downsides in economics, social cohesion, crime, and public health.

00:00:00.000 Hello, and welcome to another episode of Maple Serb and Mayhem.
00:00:05.900 The public sentiment on mass immigration is rapidly changing, or at least it's being brought to the forefront of all political discourse.
00:00:15.020 I would argue it's always been something the majority of the native population has taken issue with.
00:00:20.620 But with current technology and expanded ways to spread propaganda, especially from the government,
00:00:26.120 most of the normie public has been brainwashed into thinking that diversity is actually our strength,
00:00:32.220 and that society would collapse without the low-skilled, incompatible human slaves that the government keeps flooding us with.
00:00:41.020 The negative effects of mass immigration from third-world countries on Western nations has become all too apparent,
00:00:48.020 even for non-academics like myself.
00:00:50.700 A growing body of research highlights significant downsides in economics, social cohesion, crime, and public health,
00:00:58.480 all things we've seen with our own eyes.
00:01:01.540 Drawing from the academic studies, though, reports and analysis,
00:01:04.940 we're going to try to suss out and figure out who this is actually really benefiting, as if you don't already know.
00:01:11.920 So, economic strains, wages, jobs, public burdens,
00:01:16.100 these are all one or many aspects of this mass immigration.
00:01:20.800 Mass immigration floods labour markets with low-skilled workers,
00:01:24.340 leading to wage suppression and job displacement for native populations.
00:01:28.540 And this is something that they vehemently deny.
00:01:31.480 But, again, if you have eyes, you know this already.
00:01:33.860 You can see it for yourself.
00:01:35.720 For example, research shows that a 10% increase in immigrant labour supply
00:01:40.500 can reduce the native population wages by 3% to 4%.
00:01:43.900 And, of course, that hits the low-skilled workers the hardest.
00:01:48.040 Now, in the U.S., post-1965,
00:01:50.960 immigration shifts toward developing countries
00:01:53.660 have imposed net fiscal costs of around $279 billion per cohort over 75 years,
00:02:00.240 as immigrants consume more in public services like education and welfare
00:02:04.960 than they contribute in taxes.
00:02:07.200 Again, something we've probably all noticed with our own eyes.
00:02:13.020 Now, of course, this doesn't just apply to America.
00:02:15.400 I mean, the U.K. is another good example.
00:02:17.540 Mass inflows exacerbate housing shortages,
00:02:20.720 driving up rents by 1% to 2% for every 1% of the population increase.
00:02:25.300 Canada is another example.
00:02:27.560 This makes life unaffordable to the locals.
00:02:30.960 There was a comprehensive review of over 50 studies
00:02:34.580 that confirmed that these winners and losers dynamics
00:02:37.700 where low-wage natives suffer income drops of up to 10% due to competition.
00:02:45.180 Think tanks like Migration Watch UK argue that this depresses the wages
00:02:49.520 for the poorest and strains services like the NHS and schools,
00:02:53.920 turning societies into islands of strangers.
00:02:56.180 Moreover, broader economic modelling reveals small but persistent negative GDP effects,
00:03:03.920 0.1% to 0.5% per 1% inflow of immigrants,
00:03:09.000 in contexts with poor integration amplifying unemployment by 0.2% to 0.4% for unskilled natives.
00:03:16.760 These pressures fuel inequality, rather,
00:03:19.800 as seen in the Hoover Institution analysis warning of the demographic concentrations
00:03:23.920 that disrupt the local economies without any proportional gains.
00:03:28.860 Now, social cohesion and cultural clashes is also another big problem
00:03:33.340 that is very overlooked, I guess you could say,
00:03:36.580 the erosion of trust and of the identity of the native people.
00:03:40.580 Beyond economics, mass immigration challenges the social fabric.
00:03:45.500 Rapid inflows from culturally distant regions reduce trust in institutions
00:03:50.220 by 5% to 10% in affected areas, fostering segregation and ethnic tensions.
00:03:56.000 We see this here in Canada with between the Sikhs and the Hindus fighting.
00:04:00.640 I'm sure other countries have the same, you know,
00:04:02.960 infighting between Arabs and stuff like that and Muslims and all this other kind of stuff.
00:04:07.600 Stuff that would stay back in their country.
00:04:09.180 So, they're not assimilating and they're actually creating more of a burden
00:04:13.880 because of, you know, not just on the welfare state,
00:04:16.880 but also on the, you know, policing and enforcement
00:04:18.940 because they bring their ethnic battles here or to the US or UK,
00:04:22.940 wherever they are moving to.
00:04:25.500 And they also, like I said, develop their own, you know,
00:04:28.260 enclaves and their own communities,
00:04:29.920 which is against, like, the whole thing is diversity is supposed to be
00:04:33.760 the antithesis of segregation, right?
00:04:36.000 Is that what they're trying to tell us?
00:04:37.300 But they end up being segregated anyway.
00:04:39.060 Because at the end of the day, people want to be with their own people.
00:04:41.600 And that's, you know, something that they keep trying to, you know,
00:04:43.940 change among us, but it's a biological thing.
00:04:47.200 Humans have been on the planet for millions of years
00:04:48.820 and it's not something that's going to just change by, you know,
00:04:51.420 50 years of propaganda that diversity is good.
00:04:56.440 Furthermore, concentrations or enclaves cause trouble.
00:04:59.300 Immigrants do not spread across the host nation
00:05:01.960 in, like, a thin, evenly spread out layer.
00:05:04.900 They invariably accumulate in specific localities,
00:05:08.080 like we just said about the enclaves.
00:05:10.080 When the immigrants' absolute numbers in these enclaves
00:05:13.480 pass a certain point, their community achieves critical mass.
00:05:17.500 We've seen this here in Brampton, where they've now,
00:05:20.440 it's all the government officials are Indian,
00:05:23.440 you know, a good percentage of the population,
00:05:25.900 or maybe 80% of the residents there are Indian,
00:05:29.680 and they're now infiltrating all, not just businesses,
00:05:32.320 government, and everything, and pushing their own agendas.
00:05:35.940 Their alien languages and cultures become,
00:05:37.780 at least for a while, self-sustaining,
00:05:40.220 and then the natives start asking themselves,
00:05:42.280 like, are we still living in our country anymore?
00:05:44.480 And again, that's happening everywhere.
00:05:47.000 In the American sense, by 1950,
00:05:49.400 the Census Bureau projects that whites
00:05:51.640 will constitute only 52.7% of the U.S. population,
00:05:55.900 Hispanics will constitute 21%,
00:05:58.980 Blacks 15%, Asians 10%,
00:06:02.040 and the other ethnicities is going to be 1.1%.
00:06:06.100 I don't know, man.
00:06:07.440 I think that's a little low-balling,
00:06:09.300 especially for the Arab population,
00:06:10.800 but, you know, what do I know?
00:06:12.000 I'm in Canada.
00:06:14.660 But in the 1960s, whites were nearly 90%
00:06:17.760 of the population of America,
00:06:19.100 and Blacks made up the rest,
00:06:20.680 virtually all, of the balance.
00:06:22.180 Asians and Hispanics were very little,
00:06:24.300 very mere traces of it.
00:06:28.120 Now, in Western Europe,
00:06:29.320 this manifests as political backlash.
00:06:31.860 Think Brexit,
00:06:33.120 which was fueled by fears of uncontrolled migration
00:06:35.400 after 2008,
00:06:37.120 where the cultural differences
00:06:38.480 sparked hostile reactions
00:06:40.500 and rising anti-immigrant sentiment
00:06:42.340 by about 20% to 30%.
00:06:43.880 And it's so funny,
00:06:45.220 because they like to blame
00:06:46.260 the anti-immigrant sentiment
00:06:47.360 on other factors,
00:06:49.500 like extreme right-wing, you know,
00:06:51.880 ideology and stuff like that.
00:06:53.160 Well, where did that ideology come from?
00:06:55.120 Because it's the experience we're all living.
00:06:57.040 Why are so many people
00:06:58.120 coming to this side?
00:06:59.780 Because they're seeing,
00:07:01.340 and it's in front of their eyes,
00:07:02.220 no matter how much you try to brainwash them
00:07:03.840 into thinking that it doesn't exist,
00:07:06.160 people are going to ultimately,
00:07:07.780 hopefully,
00:07:08.520 believe in what their eyes are telling them.
00:07:10.260 And it's undeniable.
00:07:12.660 Opinion pieces argue that
00:07:13.600 mass immigration
00:07:14.280 discourages native birth rates
00:07:15.960 by creating insecurity,
00:07:17.600 perpetuating a demographic cycle
00:07:19.080 that erodes national identity.
00:07:20.760 We've seen this, right?
00:07:21.700 The more the immigrants come in,
00:07:23.400 the less the native population has kids,
00:07:25.820 likely due to economic factors.
00:07:27.640 And I think a lot of times
00:07:28.880 it's safety factors,
00:07:30.000 like a lot of women, you know,
00:07:31.580 may not feel safe
00:07:32.600 bringing in a child into this world,
00:07:34.040 and that's kind of in their brain.
00:07:36.240 And a lot,
00:07:37.500 I mean, there's a lot of different things,
00:07:38.580 but I think that's a huge thing about it
00:07:40.080 as well as the cost.
00:07:41.220 The IMF,
00:07:43.840 International Monetary Fund,
00:07:46.700 notes that such mismatches
00:07:48.940 between policies and realities
00:07:50.500 lead to counterproductive outcomes
00:07:51.940 like failed integration
00:07:53.100 and societal fragmentation.
00:07:55.380 Here we are.
00:07:56.140 This is where we have arrived.
00:07:59.020 BBC Overviews highlights
00:08:00.900 how wage suppression and rapid changes
00:08:03.140 breed racism and political shifts
00:08:04.860 as seen in the UKIP's rise.
00:08:07.720 Ultimately,
00:08:08.400 these cultural clashes
00:08:09.200 create critical mass effects
00:08:10.660 where clustered immigrants
00:08:11.620 resist assimilation,
00:08:12.940 altering the host societies irreversibly.
00:08:15.780 Hello, Canada would like a word.
00:08:17.120 That's where we're at now.
00:08:19.480 And one of the biggest disadvantages,
00:08:21.760 one of the biggest,
00:08:22.940 how would you put it?
00:08:26.560 One of the biggest burdens
00:08:27.700 that we're having to deal with
00:08:28.780 because of all this diversity
00:08:29.960 is the crime and public safety aspect of it.
00:08:33.540 There's rising incidents,
00:08:35.160 obviously,
00:08:35.720 and a lot of underreporting
00:08:37.060 because the government
00:08:37.820 is trying to hide
00:08:38.760 the identity
00:08:40.280 or the,
00:08:41.120 you know,
00:08:41.660 background of the people
00:08:43.160 that are committing the crimes
00:08:44.120 because they don't want us to think
00:08:46.160 that these are people
00:08:47.900 that cannot assimilate.
00:08:50.060 One of the most debated negatives
00:08:51.580 is the crime.
00:08:52.900 Immigrants,
00:08:53.360 often younger
00:08:53.900 and from unstable regions,
00:08:55.940 which I think is a cope,
00:08:57.340 are disproportionately represented
00:08:59.360 among offenders
00:09:00.240 in many Western countries
00:09:01.680 because they're committing
00:09:03.000 most of the crime.
00:09:04.300 When they word this stuff,
00:09:05.200 they make it seem like,
00:09:06.160 you know,
00:09:06.420 it has nothing to do with them
00:09:07.900 or their character.
00:09:08.760 They're just being,
00:09:09.600 you know,
00:09:10.280 or being picked on
00:09:11.400 by the legal system
00:09:12.220 because they're just them.
00:09:13.700 Like,
00:09:13.900 that's like,
00:09:17.140 in Germany,
00:09:18.140 the 2015 to 2016 refugee wave
00:09:20.840 led to one to 2% rise
00:09:22.620 in property and violent crimes
00:09:24.240 per 1% immigrant increase,
00:09:26.620 especially among young males.
00:09:30.400 We all know who got imported
00:09:32.080 into Germany,
00:09:32.740 who got airdropped into Germany.
00:09:35.140 And Sweden,
00:09:35.760 who is next here.
00:09:36.580 Sweden's data shows
00:09:37.280 foreign-born individuals
00:09:38.280 twice as likely
00:09:39.100 to commit crimes
00:09:39.960 with non-citizen inmates
00:09:41.300 rising to 33%.
00:09:43.600 In Chile,
00:09:45.760 Venezuela,
00:09:46.660 and Haitian,
00:09:47.980 inflows correlated
00:09:48.900 with 5% to 7% drops
00:09:50.700 in native student performance
00:09:52.160 due to overcrowding,
00:09:53.640 indirectly boosting delinquency.
00:09:56.340 A U.S. survey, rather,
00:09:57.860 reveals 10% to 15%
00:09:59.440 lower crime reporting
00:10:00.360 in high immigration areas
00:10:02.160 due to distrust,
00:10:03.280 making trust rates,
00:10:04.200 and eroding safety.
00:10:06.320 So what they're saying
00:10:07.040 is that if,
00:10:07.880 you know,
00:10:08.080 people are,
00:10:09.480 I guess,
00:10:09.960 a victim of a crime
00:10:10.940 in an enclave
00:10:11.800 that is,
00:10:12.300 you know,
00:10:12.680 all black or whatever,
00:10:14.040 the likelihood of them
00:10:15.140 reporting it is less.
00:10:17.080 And that is because,
00:10:18.120 I guess,
00:10:18.400 the people,
00:10:18.960 if it's another black person
00:10:20.120 that's the victim,
00:10:20.820 they probably don't trust
00:10:21.560 the police.
00:10:22.440 And if it's a non-black
00:10:23.900 that is the victim,
00:10:24.600 they probably feel like
00:10:25.700 the police aren't going
00:10:26.720 to do anything about it anyway
00:10:27.640 because the perpetrator
00:10:28.860 is black.
00:10:29.860 And that's what they've
00:10:30.560 been teaching us
00:10:31.200 for the last however many years,
00:10:32.760 at least 10.
00:10:34.540 Now,
00:10:35.000 online forum boards
00:10:36.120 and stuff like that,
00:10:36.760 they also echo this,
00:10:37.880 which is not surprising
00:10:38.980 that they,
00:10:39.700 you know,
00:10:39.900 a lot of the common thread
00:10:41.560 or the common theme
00:10:42.360 in these online discussion boards
00:10:44.000 is that cultural value clashes
00:10:46.220 lead to higher crime
00:10:47.180 in immigrant-heavy zones,
00:10:48.700 which most people
00:10:50.400 with a brain would know.
00:10:51.400 It's just,
00:10:51.900 we see it,
00:10:52.800 it's patterns.
00:10:53.720 They're not universal,
00:10:54.680 the patterns,
00:10:55.740 but they are pronounced
00:10:56.700 in mass unfiltered inflows
00:10:58.640 from the third world country.
00:11:00.620 So the health
00:11:01.180 and the broader burdens
00:11:02.080 is also an overlooked consequence.
00:11:04.680 Health impacts
00:11:05.360 add another layer,
00:11:06.580 shifts towards
00:11:07.580 less developed countries
00:11:08.660 have increased diseases
00:11:09.840 like Hep B
00:11:10.780 and this is actually
00:11:12.700 increased in the U.S.
00:11:13.360 by 20 to 30 percent,
00:11:14.920 costing one to two billion
00:11:16.060 annually in health care.
00:11:17.920 The immigration policies
00:11:18.680 can also worsen
00:11:19.380 mental health outcomes,
00:11:20.520 including higher anxiety
00:11:21.460 and depression rates
00:11:22.740 in affected communities.
00:11:23.820 So I would look at the example
00:11:25.700 of the Ohio, right,
00:11:27.500 where they airdropped
00:11:28.260 a bunch of violent Haitians
00:11:29.800 in there.
00:11:30.700 Can you imagine being
00:11:31.420 in a small, you know,
00:11:32.540 little town in the Midwest,
00:11:34.240 Ohio, and, you know,
00:11:35.120 just living your life
00:11:35.860 as you always have
00:11:36.900 and then all of a sudden
00:11:38.100 it's like being dropped
00:11:39.360 into like a war zone
00:11:40.340 that you didn't ask for.
00:11:41.760 So that's definitely
00:11:42.940 got to affect
00:11:43.580 people's mental health,
00:11:44.600 probably some things
00:11:45.820 of PTSD.
00:11:46.580 Imagine if your cat
00:11:47.260 was stolen,
00:11:47.780 that would probably offer
00:11:48.520 some PTSD
00:11:49.360 knowing that they
00:11:50.200 allegedly were going around
00:11:52.260 eating the cats.
00:11:53.400 So compendiums
00:11:55.880 of recent studies
00:11:56.660 compile evidence
00:11:57.460 of these harms
00:11:58.360 across labor,
00:11:59.560 health,
00:11:59.920 and more urging
00:12:00.920 re-evaluation
00:12:01.860 of open policies.
00:12:04.540 So you may ask yourself,
00:12:05.880 because I ask myself
00:12:06.760 this all the time,
00:12:07.480 I get the pushback
00:12:08.580 from people.
00:12:10.080 What about
00:12:10.820 the economic well-being?
00:12:12.120 How does this affect
00:12:12.920 the economic well-being
00:12:14.340 of the country?
00:12:15.440 Because the government
00:12:16.140 keeps telling me
00:12:16.980 that without immigrants,
00:12:18.480 there's going to be nobody
00:12:19.280 to do any of these jobs
00:12:20.260 and that we're all
00:12:20.820 going to be just lost people
00:12:22.440 not knowing what to do
00:12:23.500 or anything.
00:12:24.520 We're not being able
00:12:24.960 to make a coffee
00:12:25.700 or all this kind of stuff.
00:12:27.160 And in my opinion,
00:12:28.140 this is gaslighting
00:12:29.000 of the highest form.
00:12:31.200 This thought process
00:12:33.380 or this opinion,
00:12:35.360 if you're outside
00:12:36.200 of the government,
00:12:36.840 because the government
00:12:37.320 knows exactly what
00:12:38.100 they're doing
00:12:38.420 and so do the elites.
00:12:39.920 But for the normie,
00:12:41.480 this thought process
00:12:42.420 comes from watching
00:12:43.100 too much mainstream media,
00:12:45.220 listening to the corrupt
00:12:47.020 and lying government
00:12:48.060 and politicians
00:12:48.640 and trusting them,
00:12:49.440 number one,
00:12:50.260 and not really understanding
00:12:51.360 how economics works at all.
00:12:53.860 A lot of people,
00:12:54.900 it's the same thing
00:12:55.580 that when people say,
00:12:56.720 well, Canada has free healthcare.
00:12:58.720 Nothing is free.
00:12:59.740 It's not free.
00:13:00.820 It's taxpayer-funded healthcare.
00:13:03.200 So regardless
00:13:04.100 if you think the U.S. is that,
00:13:05.780 in the U.S.,
00:13:06.420 they could have the same thing,
00:13:07.680 but you would pay for it in taxes.
00:13:09.080 In Canada,
00:13:09.500 we pay 60% all taxes,
00:13:11.840 including a lot of us pay it.
00:13:13.220 You know,
00:13:13.800 60% given all the sales taxes
00:13:15.700 and all the different,
00:13:16.440 you know,
00:13:16.660 taxes we're paying
00:13:17.420 of our income towards that.
00:13:18.760 And we're still waiting
00:13:19.880 for, you know,
00:13:20.980 14 hours in an emergency room,
00:13:22.620 16 hours.
00:13:23.720 People are dying
00:13:24.360 waiting in the emergency room.
00:13:25.580 You're waiting 8,
00:13:26.360 10, 12 months
00:13:27.180 for a minor surgery.
00:13:28.520 So that's your free healthcare,
00:13:29.940 which again,
00:13:30.380 nothing is free in life.
00:13:31.340 So that's a big thing
00:13:32.900 that people really need
00:13:33.600 to get over
00:13:34.060 as far as
00:13:34.700 how great
00:13:35.940 our system is
00:13:37.260 and how,
00:13:37.740 you know,
00:13:37.940 whatever.
00:13:38.380 And this is also
00:13:38.920 why the immigrants
00:13:39.420 want to come here.
00:13:40.360 Like,
00:13:40.660 how many times
00:13:41.820 when I used to work
00:13:42.520 in healthcare
00:13:42.940 would people come
00:13:44.400 and be like,
00:13:45.100 well,
00:13:45.220 we brought them here
00:13:46.000 because they can't
00:13:47.040 get this kind of care
00:13:47.660 at home.
00:13:48.240 Okay,
00:13:48.580 so when did Canada
00:13:49.380 become the,
00:13:50.280 you know,
00:13:50.900 place for the world
00:13:51.620 to come and get
00:13:52.100 the healthcare
00:13:52.680 they can't get?
00:13:53.460 Like,
00:13:53.860 no,
00:13:54.060 I'm not paying for that.
00:13:55.540 The immigration debate
00:13:56.540 should be refocused.
00:13:57.740 The question,
00:13:58.660 the economic question
00:13:59.700 should be,
00:14:00.780 is immigration
00:14:01.520 actually necessary
00:14:02.520 for economic growth?
00:14:03.660 This is the big lie,
00:14:04.760 right?
00:14:04.960 They're saying,
00:14:05.360 well,
00:14:05.460 you guys aren't having babies,
00:14:06.620 so what are you going to do?
00:14:07.700 You're not going to have a pension.
00:14:08.600 You'll have nothing.
00:14:09.820 Now,
00:14:10.080 the answer,
00:14:10.720 and this came from an article
00:14:11.900 I read,
00:14:12.440 the European Conservative,
00:14:13.580 its opinion piece,
00:14:14.400 but the answer,
00:14:16.520 perhaps surprisingly,
00:14:17.280 is certainly not,
00:14:18.940 right?
00:14:19.240 It's not necessary.
00:14:20.980 Immigration does very little
00:14:22.180 that the host country
00:14:23.640 cannot achieve
00:14:24.620 and probably better
00:14:26.140 than,
00:14:27.500 or rather using
00:14:28.340 other policies.
00:14:30.280 Immigration does generate
00:14:32.080 the instant population growth,
00:14:33.380 which is what the government's
00:14:34.240 looking for.
00:14:34.760 They're looking for
00:14:35.540 the overall GDP
00:14:37.300 to increase
00:14:38.380 and that's what
00:14:39.000 airdropping a bunch of,
00:14:40.460 or airdropping
00:14:41.260 a bunch of immigrants
00:14:41.860 into a country does.
00:14:42.960 It gives that instant
00:14:43.840 population growth,
00:14:45.160 which makes it look like
00:14:46.260 the country is more successful
00:14:47.780 than it's not,
00:14:48.340 but they never report
00:14:49.220 on the per capita GDP,
00:14:50.720 which is grossly dropped,
00:14:52.900 like crazy.
00:14:54.980 And an instantly larger population
00:14:56.300 can be very useful
00:14:57.200 if you are seizing a continent
00:14:58.580 or fighting a war,
00:15:00.420 at least before high-tech weapons.
00:15:02.340 And this is another thing
00:15:03.220 people say,
00:15:03.720 they'll say,
00:15:04.020 well,
00:15:04.180 immigrants helped build Canada
00:15:05.400 or immigrants did this
00:15:06.800 or they worked with the immigrants.
00:15:08.420 Yes,
00:15:09.000 you know,
00:15:09.300 some of the countries,
00:15:10.460 the leaders,
00:15:11.020 they may have,
00:15:12.000 you know,
00:15:13.120 recruited the help
00:15:14.440 of people from
00:15:15.280 not Native to their population
00:15:16.780 to help them fight a war.
00:15:17.940 They were there for a purpose.
00:15:18.860 It's very similar
00:15:19.660 to what the Middle East
00:15:20.980 does with their workers,
00:15:22.340 okay?
00:15:22.600 They bring in workers
00:15:23.340 to do the jobs
00:15:24.020 that maybe nobody wants to do,
00:15:25.360 whatever,
00:15:25.800 fair enough,
00:15:26.360 but they're not citizens there.
00:15:27.820 They don't have a right to vote.
00:15:29.280 They don't have many rights at all.
00:15:30.620 They don't even get to,
00:15:31.460 you know,
00:15:32.000 experience the same things
00:15:33.340 as the Native population.
00:15:34.860 So that's where it,
00:15:36.760 like,
00:15:36.920 and they're conflating
00:15:37.740 those arguments,
00:15:38.500 right?
00:15:38.680 Like,
00:15:38.940 even when Canada
00:15:39.600 brought over people
00:15:40.360 to help build the railroad
00:15:41.340 to Chinese and stuff,
00:15:42.020 like,
00:15:42.140 they were not Canadian.
00:15:44.020 And they were never,
00:15:44.860 like I said,
00:15:45.200 they were never intended to be.
00:15:47.240 From an economic standpoint,
00:15:48.600 instantly acquiring more people
00:15:50.660 is not so obviously useful.
00:15:53.220 A country's living standard
00:15:54.260 is expressed by its output per capita,
00:15:56.280 and this is what I just said earlier,
00:15:57.720 not just its sheer output.
00:15:59.200 The economics of Britain and China
00:16:02.420 had about the same output
00:16:03.880 in the early 19th century,
00:16:05.800 but Britannia could afford
00:16:08.060 to rule the oceans,
00:16:09.720 the waves,
00:16:10.200 while China was starving
00:16:11.140 because the British output
00:16:12.480 was 15 times higher per capita
00:16:14.960 than the Chinese.
00:16:17.280 This argument,
00:16:18.120 we just talked about a second ago,
00:16:19.760 immigrants built America.
00:16:21.560 Immigration enthusiasts
00:16:22.620 always claim this.
00:16:23.640 Well,
00:16:24.080 again,
00:16:24.500 not quite,
00:16:25.420 as it turns out.
00:16:26.140 The colonial stock Americans
00:16:28.120 had things rolling along
00:16:30.460 pretty well
00:16:31.140 before mass immigration began.
00:16:33.040 The same thing applies to Canada
00:16:34.460 and the other European
00:16:36.860 or Western countries.
00:16:39.180 The immigrants basically
00:16:39.920 just climbed on the bandwagon.
00:16:41.760 And we see this a lot here,
00:16:42.980 like the Indians in Canada,
00:16:44.540 especially,
00:16:45.040 like to,
00:16:45.520 you know,
00:16:46.040 stolen valor.
00:16:46.940 They like to claim
00:16:47.760 they built this and done that
00:16:49.160 when,
00:16:50.180 if they helped build something,
00:16:52.180 it was such a small percentage
00:16:53.360 of them that,
00:16:54.020 like,
00:16:54.680 it did not even make it significant.
00:16:57.100 And what about the current,
00:16:57.980 and what about currently
00:16:58.840 with large number
00:17:00.260 of immigrants arriving
00:17:01.060 who are far more unskilled
00:17:02.940 relative to the host population?
00:17:05.620 Even if they enter
00:17:06.820 the workforce smoothly
00:17:07.820 and cause the total output
00:17:09.640 to grow,
00:17:11.060 their greater numbers
00:17:11.840 must cause output per head
00:17:13.420 to fall.
00:17:14.080 That's just numbers.
00:17:15.500 And if their marketable skills
00:17:17.200 are minimal
00:17:17.860 and their entry is not smooth
00:17:19.500 but causes social stress,
00:17:21.400 rather,
00:17:21.980 it's possible that
00:17:22.960 even total output
00:17:23.800 may not grow much more
00:17:24.760 than it would have done anyways.
00:17:26.620 Even perhaps less.
00:17:27.680 And this is
00:17:28.240 what happens,
00:17:29.420 like,
00:17:29.560 when they come in,
00:17:30.040 they're unskilled
00:17:30.740 or low-skilled
00:17:31.460 and they're not able to,
00:17:32.800 you know,
00:17:33.340 contribute to society
00:17:34.260 in any meaningful way
00:17:35.340 and they end up
00:17:36.240 on the welfare system,
00:17:37.260 right,
00:17:37.600 and social housing system.
00:17:38.800 So that you're now
00:17:40.080 negatively affecting.
00:17:41.700 And if they're involved
00:17:42.500 in crime,
00:17:43.000 that's also,
00:17:43.660 you know,
00:17:43.920 a cost that people
00:17:44.640 don't consider either,
00:17:45.520 the cost of policing
00:17:46.340 and putting these people
00:17:48.360 in prison
00:17:48.780 and the court costs
00:17:50.040 and all that stuff
00:17:50.460 because they're not
00:17:50.880 paying for lawyers.
00:17:51.600 So this is all
00:17:52.840 in the tax paradigm.
00:17:53.640 So really,
00:17:54.220 what is the benefit?
00:17:56.360 And finally,
00:17:56.960 this also came
00:17:58.440 from that same article,
00:17:59.480 the lie that society
00:18:01.140 can only be functional
00:18:02.320 and successful
00:18:04.060 on an infinite growth model.
00:18:05.680 Now,
00:18:07.040 a recent study
00:18:07.680 out of Cornell University
00:18:08.840 is questioning
00:18:09.460 that long-held belief
00:18:10.420 that immigration
00:18:11.200 is necessary
00:18:12.140 due to declining birth rates.
00:18:14.580 The authors of the study
00:18:15.360 call this belief
00:18:16.000 a broad oversimplification,
00:18:17.900 which is,
00:18:18.360 again,
00:18:18.700 something governments
00:18:19.340 love to do
00:18:20.040 with everything,
00:18:20.660 just broad oversimplification
00:18:22.100 so it allows them
00:18:22.920 to maintain control
00:18:24.040 because it's very hard
00:18:25.460 to understand
00:18:26.940 what the actual,
00:18:28.140 you know,
00:18:28.480 policy is,
00:18:29.420 right?
00:18:29.560 They make it broad
00:18:30.240 so that it's confusing
00:18:31.220 to everybody.
00:18:33.220 They also agree,
00:18:34.340 the authors of the study
00:18:35.540 agree that it's driven
00:18:36.340 more by political agendas
00:18:37.860 rather than actual evidence
00:18:39.240 that this is a successful model,
00:18:42.340 the infinite growth model.
00:18:44.600 Countries with lower
00:18:45.280 negative population growth
00:18:46.360 actually do better
00:18:47.520 on average
00:18:48.500 across key measures,
00:18:49.940 the study notes.
00:18:50.720 It argues that
00:18:51.280 investing in education,
00:18:53.160 healthcare,
00:18:53.680 and smart social policies
00:18:55.220 matter
00:18:55.720 more than just boosting
00:18:57.240 the population numbers.
00:18:58.920 Boosting population numbers
00:18:59.780 only helps the elite
00:19:00.960 get rich.
00:19:01.580 That's it.
00:19:02.040 That's all,
00:19:02.660 the only benefit it has.
00:19:04.200 It doesn't matter.
00:19:04.820 It doesn't make us
00:19:05.500 more diverse.
00:19:06.060 It doesn't make us
00:19:06.560 more accepting
00:19:07.120 and it doesn't,
00:19:07.940 you know,
00:19:08.400 give us this kind of food
00:19:09.640 that we couldn't figure out
00:19:10.400 how we,
00:19:10.860 you know,
00:19:11.120 could eat without,
00:19:12.080 you know,
00:19:12.620 the massive amounts
00:19:13.620 of Indians in here.
00:19:14.860 It's none of that stuff.
00:19:16.120 The only thing it benefits
00:19:17.420 is the rich elite people
00:19:19.160 that want slave labor
00:19:20.500 and that's it
00:19:21.340 and everybody else
00:19:22.040 can be damned
00:19:22.620 and get fucked basically.
00:19:25.040 Older,
00:19:25.520 well-educated workers
00:19:26.300 with good benefits
00:19:27.100 often contribute more
00:19:28.000 to the economy
00:19:28.620 than young,
00:19:29.340 unskilled workers
00:19:30.100 and they also commit
00:19:31.440 a lot less crime.
00:19:32.540 We find that countries
00:19:34.120 with lower negative
00:19:34.820 population growth
00:19:35.560 perform better
00:19:36.220 on average
00:19:36.980 for all indicators
00:19:38.040 and that even
00:19:38.840 within country time series
00:19:40.580 show that most
00:19:41.400 older and slower
00:19:42.660 growing populations
00:19:43.700 fare better
00:19:44.420 on average,
00:19:45.780 states the report.
00:19:46.740 So, in conclusion,
00:19:50.240 rethinking the narrative here,
00:19:51.600 mass immigration
00:19:52.300 from third world countries
00:19:54.060 to the West
00:19:54.540 brings undeniable challenges,
00:19:56.600 economic inequality,
00:19:58.400 social division,
00:19:59.560 heightened crime,
00:20:00.860 health strains.
00:20:02.920 Well, maybe not all
00:20:04.140 of the effects
00:20:05.100 are negative.
00:20:06.560 Most of them are.
00:20:07.480 The evidence
00:20:08.060 from the Hoover analysis
00:20:09.480 that I mentioned above
00:20:11.060 and even the IMF reviews
00:20:12.760 and crime studies
00:20:13.560 demand that balance policies,
00:20:16.040 you know,
00:20:16.560 for integration
00:20:17.400 and limits.
00:20:18.100 My, again,
00:20:19.180 belief is that
00:20:20.220 there should be none
00:20:20.920 because we're a country
00:20:23.180 of very, you know,
00:20:24.400 intelligent,
00:20:25.240 successful,
00:20:26.200 you know,
00:20:26.640 how do you want to put it,
00:20:28.780 pioneers
00:20:29.200 that built this country
00:20:30.440 so we don't need
00:20:31.140 these people
00:20:31.580 to sling our coffee
00:20:32.480 at Tim Hortons.
00:20:33.260 Like, when I was a teenager,
00:20:34.680 people, teenagers did that.
00:20:36.220 Like, I don't understand that
00:20:37.560 and I think it also goes
00:20:39.000 to the forcing of people
00:20:41.380 to go to university
00:20:42.680 and that kind of,
00:20:43.800 they all kind of came
00:20:44.540 in hand in hand.
00:20:45.260 Like, they really pushed
00:20:46.080 this in the 80s and 90s
00:20:47.640 that, like,
00:20:48.260 you were not going
00:20:49.020 to be successful at all
00:20:50.340 if you didn't go
00:20:51.040 to university,
00:20:51.680 probably more so
00:20:52.200 the 90s and the 2000s
00:20:53.940 and all university does
00:20:55.480 is, in most cases,
00:20:56.600 unless you're going
00:20:57.180 for a specific,
00:20:58.420 you know, degree,
00:21:00.580 it's just,
00:21:01.540 it just pushes
00:21:02.140 liberal ideology.
00:21:03.240 It's a waste of money
00:21:04.020 and then it just makes
00:21:05.180 these people think
00:21:06.460 that they're above
00:21:07.020 working minimum wage jobs
00:21:08.740 so then that gives them
00:21:09.520 the excuse to bring in
00:21:10.660 the hordes of,
00:21:11.800 you know,
00:21:12.240 shit skins
00:21:12.600 that'll do it for less
00:21:13.420 and it also keeps
00:21:14.340 the wages down.
00:21:15.300 There's no denying it.
00:21:16.300 Like, I mean,
00:21:16.660 that's just the numbers,
00:21:17.840 right?
00:21:18.020 Like, if you have
00:21:18.520 a thousand people
00:21:19.200 lining up for one job
00:21:20.300 and they're all desperate
00:21:21.660 for that job,
00:21:22.280 you can pretty much
00:21:22.860 pay them as low
00:21:24.180 as possible
00:21:24.760 and, you know,
00:21:25.780 but if there was
00:21:26.540 only three people
00:21:27.500 lining up for that job,
00:21:29.160 they would have the power.
00:21:30.080 So, as political puzzles
00:21:32.320 mount, ignoring the costs
00:21:33.780 risks deeper societal rifts
00:21:35.380 and what does the public benefit?
