Amazing Visual Showing Why Mass Immigration to U.S. Doesn’t Fix Anything

Journalist, immigration author, and Numbers USA founder Roy Beck presents the most straight forward and compelling case against mass immigration to America, using something as simple as gum-balls and hard data.

Beck, who won awards for his coverage of urban expansion issues, wrote a book called “The Case Against Immigration.” In the video above he impressively highlights the major points of his book. Though the talk was given in 2010, it’s going viral right now because of the current heated national debate.

The thrust of his argument is that even if we doubled the already 1 million legal immigrants a year the government brings in, not only is that a drop in the bucket to the millions in poverty, overwhelming our physical, natural, and social infrastructures, it actually takes away the people who would be the agents of change in these desperate countries to make them better in the long run.

Beck says, “The true heroes in the global humanitarian field are the people in these countries who have the wherewithal to immigrate to another country but instead stay in their countries to apply their skills to help their fellow countrymen.”

Besides founding Numbers USA whose stated goal is “Moderates, conservatives & liberals working for immigration numbers that serve America’s finest goals,” Beck also served as spokesperson of the Coalition for the Future American Worker.

You can’t argue with hard data and harder gum-balls.
