Trump secures an immigration deal with Mexico, but the mainstream media won t give him any credit for it. Plus, a new app that lets you share your data about yourself, your interests, and habits, and then get paid for it!
00:04:58.180So President Trump said, listen, Mexico, you've got to put some security along your southern border and stop this before it becomes a problem for us.
00:05:05.840Mexico hasn't done it because it's mostly a failed state.
00:05:08.680And because Mexico has a huge economic incentive to continue to allow illegal immigration.
00:05:14.500When these illegal aliens are pouring through Mexico's southern border on their way into America, this brings a lot of money to Mexico's economy.
00:05:22.660Most of that money is going to the cartels, but then those cartels are spending all of that money within Mexico, in Mexico's economy.
00:05:31.960We're talking about over a billion dollars at least.
00:05:34.740So Mexico has no normal economic incentive to stop illegal immigration, and they have a lot of incentives to keep it going.
00:06:47.080The joint statement from the U.S. and Mexico reads,
00:06:50.360Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration to include the deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border.
00:07:01.640Mexico is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations, as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks.
00:07:10.460Additionally, the United States and Mexico commit to strengthen bilateral cooperation, including information sharing and coordinated actions to better protect and secure our common border.
00:07:22.480Now, this last part is subject to some scrutiny from the mainstream media, because President Trump said as part of this deal, Mexico is going to buy a whole lot of new American products.
00:07:35.760And so that's going to help with our trade deficit.
00:07:39.100Now, there's not a lot of evidence that they're going to buy more products.
00:07:42.660The Mexican ambassador is saying that nothing has been ironed out specifically.
00:07:46.940So what President Trump is referring to is this line here about greater cooperation, the implication being Mexico is going to buy some more U.S. goods.
00:08:26.740They've already deployed 6,000 National Guard troops to the southern border.
00:08:31.300That is a very tangible step in the right direction.
00:08:34.980So what else does the deal accomplish?
00:08:38.300They write, the United States will immediately expand the implementation of the existing migrant protection protocols across its entire southern border.
00:08:46.660This means that those crossing the U.S. southern border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico, where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims.
00:08:57.680What this means is that the people who do get into Mexico, then they come into the United States and they ask for asylum.
00:09:05.320We will not have to keep those people in the United States.
00:09:07.820We will be able to send them back to Mexico, and Mexico will take them.
00:09:12.620Now, when this first began a few months ago, when these negotiations were taking place, Mexico limited the scope of holding the asylum seekers.
00:09:22.480So they said, okay, we'll keep some asylum seekers, but not all of them.
00:09:25.020We're going to limit how many can come here.
00:09:26.680Now they will accept an unlimited number of asylum seekers.
00:09:29.900And this is very important because in the United States, if you come, you seek asylum.
00:09:34.580What we generally do is we lose track of you, and then you just get into the United States, and then you're just here.
00:09:40.580And you don't show up for your adjudication hearings, and you don't ever need to show up in court again because you've already gained entrance into the United States.
00:09:48.280Sometimes with more than one of you, sometimes with a whole family unit.
00:09:52.520Keeping them on that other side of the border is crucial to reducing the flow of illegal aliens, and this was a major win.
00:09:59.160This is also important because it limits family units.
00:10:01.800The people who are coming seeking asylum specifically, or who say they're seeking asylum, usually they're just economic migrants, but they say they're seeking asylum come with a lot of people.
00:10:11.060And this creates major political problems.
00:10:14.460Now you're not allowed to split up the parents from their children and hold the children with HHS, Health and Human Services, and hold the parents in cells.
00:10:24.260You're also not allowed to put the children in cells.
00:10:26.280I mean, this is the reason why in 1997 we decided that eventually you had to split up the parents and the children anyway.
00:10:32.500So you're in a situation where you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, if they get into the United States and get to stay there while they seek asylum.
00:10:52.800We have one of these deals with Canada, which is that when people are coming in from a third country, whichever country they arrive at first, if they come through Canada and they're going to Mexico, or if they come to the United States and they're going to Canada, that the country they arrive at first is the country where they have to seek asylum.
00:11:10.900They can't just keep going through to get to the better country.
00:11:14.540And this gets to the whole argument of asylum.
00:11:16.920What the left is saying in this illegal immigration dispute is it's these desperate people who are just seeking a better life and avoiding threat of death in their own countries, in Guatemala, let's say.
00:11:27.840And what the right is saying is, no, they're not.
00:11:30.600They're coming for economic opportunity in the United States.
00:11:33.100The way you know the right is correct here is if they were just fleeing the threat of immediate violence in their home countries, they wouldn't walk through 20 different countries on their way to the United States.
00:11:44.020They wouldn't march from South America all the way up to the U.S.
00:11:47.940They could seek asylum in any country along the way.
00:11:52.240They're seeking economic opportunity because the U.S. is a way better place to live in than Mexico.
00:11:57.520So what a safe third country agreement would do is say, OK, if you're going to come and you're going to enter Mexico first, then you're getting asylum in Mexico.
00:12:05.880And you can't seek asylum in the United States.
00:20:33.440If you cannot feed your children, either a family member of yours who is not a deadbeat should take your children and raise them and take care of them.
00:20:43.620Or the state should come in and remove your children from you, you deadbeat, and give them to a family that will not starve them.
00:20:52.120And we'll be able to give them basic food.
00:20:57.240Feeding your children is the most basic role of a parent.
00:21:04.080There are many things that parents do.
00:21:07.280All parents most basically have to feed their kids.
00:21:10.800Either you can do it, or a family member can do it, or the state can do it.
00:21:14.240Now, you say, well, what if some parents don't make a lot of money?
00:21:19.620Then those parents should go hungry while they feed their kids.
00:21:23.520Well, what if some parents, I don't know, they don't have a good job, they're living in poverty?
00:21:30.760First of all, in America, that doesn't need to happen because we have a robust social safety net.
00:21:37.440So if you aren't making a lot of money, I have friends and family who have been in poverty,
00:21:40.940and you can go on food stamps or other welfare programs,
00:21:44.400and then you can use that to buy food and feed your children.
00:21:48.660What if that's not enough, or what if you're spending it improperly,
00:21:51.500or what if you don't qualify or something?
00:21:52.900There's a lot of private charity, also, that will allow you to feed your children.
00:21:59.160The way to illustrate this most clearly, I think, is that the poor in America are much, much,
00:22:06.460much more likely to suffer from obesity than they are from starvation.
