  1. Check the US census. Hispanics will become the biggest minority in the US around 2050. Around 2100 Hispanics will be tied with the Whites. Remember that 1/3 of the US was Mexico at one point. The US Congress and the White House will be majority Hispanics after 2050. The minority population in the US will surpass the Whites after 2050, you can take that to the Bank. Why do you think Mexico has allowed thousands of migrants to go through and cross the US borders for decades? VIVA LA MEXICO.

  2. VIVA MEXICO. The Mexican government has been trojan horse the borders for decades. Remember 1/3 of the US was Mexico. With the current projection, Hispanics will be the majority in the US by 2100 or more. Congress and the White House will be ruled by Hispanics.

  5. Instead of importing "skilled" labor, we ought to be training our own people for these jobs. Not one single foreigner should be let in while we have thousands of homeless everywhere. This is just a smokescreen for hiring cheap foreign labor instead of our own for fair wages and benefits.

  6. US need legal immigrants not illegal immigrants… but USs left government don't believe in they want illigal immigrants only… Now I can say with grantee US is on the verge of collapse.😂😂😂😂

  7. WHAT IF OUR TEACHERS/EDUCATION SYSTEM TAUGHT OUR CITIZENS TO DO THESE JOBS VS TEACHING AFRICAN BASKET WEAVING/LESBIAN STUDIES ETC. WOW, WHAT A CONCEPT!!!
    DO NOT TELL RANDI WEINGARTEN.

  9. Selling out your country…won't be feeling sorry for the white kids who gonna have to compete against all us coloreds……we gotta teach the immigrants how to complain about discrimination…I bet you won't be begging for them to come in then….I'm learning Spanish as we speak

  11. legal immigration is bad to. we let to many people in the country with adjusting an appropriate flow If you look the only races that are declining like the polar bear are European whites (people like the founders of our nation* very important) and native Americans in 100 years there will not be a single person in the country that has a family tree back to 1800s… nobody will talk about this

  12. This is complete hogwash pushed by Globalists and the BS Chamber of Commerce to push down wages even more for American workers. Most of the job openings currently available are for lower skilled work. Educated workers in the USA have a much harder time finding employment. Corporations want unlimited H1B's so they can fire Americans and hire a foreigner for way less. InfoSys is infamous for helping displace US workers with Indian Nationals. This segement is complete BS!!!!

  20. Anybody who cares about the environment should be vehemently opposed to mass migration. They come here and have 6 maybe 7 children? What do you think that does to the eco system ??

  25. H1B visa is broken. Most of the quota is used by Indian outsorcing comps. They file 10 apps for 1 position just to make sure they get the spot. The individuals are not "experts" just another IT office worker. But that is how Indian outsorcing works. Problem is with education and on job training in US when comes to shortige of workers.

  26. The global awareness is ripe post Covid (2020) – look at other countries – Once skilled immigrants (engineers, doctors, nurses etc) realize how difficult it is to be perm in U.S they will leave and it is harder to get them back

  27. This inflation is not at all caused by shortage of labor or higher wages. Those have 0 chances of creating 400% price increase. There are plenty of people to work but all they have is fake job postings with substandard wages. Wages hasn't gone up like 400 -500% to raise prices like this. So the max they did may be few dollar, which can only translate to fraction of pennies to price. That is not the case here. So, when a country is flooded with legal and illegal immigrants, or abundant of unemployed and underpaid people, it is not wise to bring more people. What we need is strict law enforcement on the culprits who circumvent laws in their favor.

  30. The population has more than doubled since 1950 from 148 million to 338 million today, do you want your children to have to live in another India or China? Enough is enough and steady as it goes is good enough, for our grandkids sake.

  31. Did China 🇨🇳 asked CNBC to contribute on corporate espionage?? Yes yes we all know china is desperate. Coincidence? Lol 😆

  32. Diversity is not strength. It’s weakness, tension and disunion. Legal immigration is not good for the US nation. Legal immigration is for more consumers for woke capitalism.
