This is a MUST SEE video for anyone interested in the immigration debate, whether you are a citizen, an illegal alien or a Congressman. ... all » This clip from the longer video, Immigration by the Numbers, features Roy Beck demonstrating the catastrophe of the huge numbers of both legal and illegal immigration by Third World people into the modern nations. He uses standard statistics and simple gumballs to show this disaster in the making.

Thanks for the ping. This video touched on a subject within the immigration debate that I hadn’t considered and haven’t seen covered anywhere. We all know that the reason Vincente Fox encourages his citizens to enter the US illegally is to take pressure off of his government to reform. But take that a step further. Take it worldwide. If one of the so called noble purposes of a liberal immigration policy is to allow immigrants to have the American dream, aren’t we hurting the rest of the world as a result? Not just the world’s impoverished that the dysfunctional governments of the world wish for us to take but their best and brightest. We are called the “brain drain” in that the best and brightest citizens of other countries want to come here as well. By taking the masses that could foment revolution, and the elites that could change their countries in numerous ways for the better, we are enabling the corrupt governments that wish them to leave. Promote emulation not immigration. As the video so graphicly demostrates, the sheer numbers will make us worse and the rest of the world no better.

Thanks!
I think this should be mandatory viewing by all U.S citizens who are concerned about immigration, pro or con.
Thanks! I agree!
Thanks for posting this.
Holy moly. Talk about one picture being worth a thousand words.
My thoughts exactly!
It needs wide distribution IMHO!
Morning bump :)
Man would you be kind enough to call this to the attention of your list?
Every citizen!
Helluva presentation BUMP
BTTT.
His proposed remedy to this supposed problem calls upon the Congress to lower the number of (legal) immigrant admittances. He neglects to tell us that most immigrants this year choose to circumvent our wretchedly convoluted legal-immigration system entirely and therefore to prosper as fine upstanding members of the undocumented illegal-immigrant community, a status that its holders usually retain for life. The enormous and apparently uninhibited influx of illegal immigrants renders our immigration law increasingly irrelevant. Even totally eliminating legal immigration probably will not curtail the influx of people into this country. We must control our border and work to limit illegal immigration.
Brilliant.
Just brilliant.
The gumballs are very clever, but the charts are pretty telling too.
I agree, this should be considered “must see” by any conservative.
BTTT.
