00:00:00.000 So it's the low IQ solution, which is to kick the shit out of Hispanics, shoot liberal whites, deport Mexican family men to death camps. 1.00
00:00:12.760 I mean, this is, I don't know what to say other than like, yeah, I think you're going to make the issue toxic. 1.00
00:00:22.420 Do you think by doing that shit? 0.98
00:00:25.020 Whereas if the liberals are smart, perhaps I'm engaging in wishful thinking here, if the liberals are smart, they are incentivized to reduce high-skilled legal immigration. 0.99
00:00:39.280 So if I were a liberal like Gavin Newsom, for instance, please take my advice here. I would say, well, we might need some low skilled immigration and illegals. Ah, you can get abused. You're not paid enough. It's not fair. 0.99
00:00:59.920 so we're going to have some guest workers from mexico south america they can come here
00:01:05.660 build stuff be bus boys whatever they might need to go home maybe there's i don't know some sort
00:01:14.500 of way that they can become a citizen if they stay here 20 years or something but there's that 0.92
00:01:19.320 but what we really worry about is the fact that our wealthy elite snobs who are white
00:01:28.860 and vote Democrat are going to lose out at getting into elite snobby colleges and having elite
00:01:37.020 snobby careers. And I'm being a little bit tongue in cheek here, but what you get my point,
00:01:43.720 which is that I don't know what bothers you more. Maybe it's just me. This is just my background
00:01:50.380 and my personality. What bothers you more like some Mexican who's here illegal, who's let's be 1.00
00:01:57.920 honest, busting his ass, you know, laying some concrete, doing some work, busting some 0.99
00:02:05.240 tables or the prospect of the graduating class of Harvard or the University of Texas or 0.99
00:02:14.280 Stanford or the University of Montana being high IQ Indians who are cheating their ways 1.00
00:02:21.780 into professional careers what do you think is more damaging in terms of our trajectory as a 0.99
00:02:31.800 country jose who's selling you a burrito or busting his ass for eight bucks an hour or viva who is 0.95
00:02:42.860 getting a law degree or medical degree so that he can engage in some sort of wall street ponzi scheme 0.97
00:02:51.060 once he's 40 years old and then runs for president what's more damaging i just don't understand why
00:02:57.960 they can't see it and i mean that both republicans who are just bad on this issue but also i don't
00:03:05.100 understand why gavin newsom please someone send this to him can't get the idea you don't have to
00:03:12.200 talk about it in a racist way you don't have to talk about it in a nasty way you can say
00:03:17.920 ice we're abolishing it it got out of control they hurt people do we really want to be cracking down
00:03:26.400 on guys that just want to get a job maybe there's a more humane reasonable way we could deal with
00:03:33.900 them that's good it's a good start right conservatives are going to hate on you for 0.99
00:03:38.760 that yes all the idiotic trump cards are going to hate on you for that but who cares they hate you 1.00
00:03:44.340 anyway. They're not voting for you. Who gives a shit? Don't give them anything because they 1.00
00:03:48.640 already are on the other team. Just fuck them. Then you say the real issue is that when I was 1.00
00:03:56.280 growing up, i.e. Gavin Newsom in the 80s and 90s, we were competing with a smaller pool of fellow
00:04:04.580 Americans for top colleges, for top careers. Now we're competing with the world and it's just
00:04:13.620 impossible. There are a billion Chinese. There are a billion Indians. Among those, let's say that 1.00
00:04:21.120 it's only 20% of the society. That is millions of people who have high IQs. You might not say that,
00:04:29.320 but say a euphemism. High IQs, speak English. They can do things. Are we just going to displace the
00:04:37.340 middle class and the professional class no we've got to have a more humane uh liberal you should
00:04:46.600 say a liberal immigration policy and that means a stark reduction in legal immigration and maybe
00:04:54.860 also some quotas to countries to liberal countries liberal quotas so the only people who can immigrate
00:05:07.340 And like Italy and like Germany.
00:05:10.160 So basically, you get to Madison Grant's Nordicism policy through liberal means and you reach it. 0.99
00:05:19.440 Now, again, this is in juxtaposition to the Trump-tard policy of kicking people's ass, killing liberals, and sending... 0.99
00:05:32.220 I mean, I'm not even exaggerating when I say they are sending people to death camps. 1.00
00:05:36.680 in El Salvador. That is toxic as hell. That is the most toxic thing you could come up with, 1.00
00:05:46.520 as opposed to liberal policies, like reducing immigration and helping out the middle class.
00:05:55.680 You could just call it the middle class, but the professional class, making sure that your sons
00:06:00.680 and daughters aren't competing with the world when they're trying to start out their life. 1.00
00:06:05.620 So Trump fucked it up. That is true. But a couple of points just to summarize. Immigration's been fucked up for a very long time. The whole conservative movement has constantly fucked up immigration. And I think liberals, at least theoretically, I hope I'm right, are more incentivized to have better policies. 0.99
00:06:31.460 because one thing lurking in the background for the bad Trump policies of immigration is this
00:06:38.520 conception of MAGA as like the multiracial working class coalition. So if you want to defend the
00:06:45.960 multiracial working class coalition, then you need to defend against competitive workers.
00:06:51.640 We should bring in more Vivecs, right? That's great. More Vivecs, they can come in, become
00:06:57.100 doctors, lawyers, tech entrepreneurs. That's wonderful stuff. We just need to protect our
00:07:02.200 workers. We need to gear society around janitors. And it's just a very, from my personal perspective,
00:07:09.340 a very, very bad way of doing this.
