[Ask the Gulch] What caused the rapid increase in latino migration?
Posted by preimert1 6 years, 4 months ago to Ask the Gulch
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
I'm posting the video link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8cC2...
You can find a written transcript on one of G Edward Griffin"s websites.....matches the vid exactly. It's only very recent in our cultural history that we are able to vet the sources and disclose truth.......love the internet. At the same time it's being used as a tool against truth.
At present I'm closing down my manufacturing business....SHRUG. I'll no longer feed the beast.
Over this past year I've challenged Rand's "Objectivist's Ethics". I discovered some prerequisites she did not address directly. Pre-writing is coming to a close.
So....a Gulch? I think not. I was talking with a long-time friend and asked what plans, if any, he had when the hammer fell. He replied he was staying put (just east of Indianapolis). I asked what he was going to do. Reply: After the dust settles....I'm going to lead.
The "Millenials" are shouting their confusion and their anger at a malevolent Unknown, to them. Biology, Life, being what it is shall produce the next generation, born into a deepening state of what we, in the Gulch, and in many areas across our planet see as a sociological cancer / virus / bacteria powered by narcissism and psychopathy. One commonality that I find among most humans; we'd not be upset, sometimes to the point of violence, if we did not care. I'm past thinking Gulch and more inclined to the metaphor of The Stand.
These folks at the southern border, unaware that they've been duped, are as confused as the youngsters who're born here. Both manipulated by the same parties into a conflict of beliefs. Those of us who are aware hear the rhetoric, repeat the same.....offer a solution? I'm working on one. This began by asking, what are the simplest, most empirical interactions we have with our biosphere and ourselves, and do we care enough about ourselves, that we may care equally for all of life's manifestations?
Ever notice how when the press wants to talk about it they never go to places like San Antonio and talk to legal immigrants? They only talk to white landowners to pain them negatively, or to illegal immigrants or white progressive to make it look sympathetic. The press will claim all day long how there are just so many immigrants here. Yet when it comes time to talk to people about immigration, they can’t seem to find any.
Despite the claims by the Progressives and Trump, among legal immigrants Mexico’s share has been decreasing while the rest of South America is catching up. This matters because it is more difficult to make such a journey unless you are already in possession of sufficient wealth to get a plane ticket and lawyers.
America has been on the high desirability list for decades, so that can’t be the difference. Sure were better off now that five or six years ago, but that difference is not noticeable or significant to someone born and living South of Mexico. Thus I don’t see changes in America as being a primary factor. Instead I think it more likely to be changes in their part of the world.
The typical Ecuadorian, for example, probably has had a lot more information or experience surrounding what has been happening in Venezuela. It will hit much closer to home. Mexico by comparison would be a virtual paradise, well except for all the problems it has, not to mention how much tougher and stricter their immigration rules and enforcement are.
My suspicion is that they are seeing countries they are in or near going to hell in a wicker basket that is already catching fire. Despite more familiar cultures, tongues, and faces, not to mention the bad press claims of how racist America is against them, we are the best choice. If Mexico had a handle on the criminals in carrels and government alike, and a more open immigration system, they would be the top choice.
This leads me think they are looking at their own histories of how south and Latin American governments operate, and are not taking the risk of staying in one. I think this is supported by the fact that despite press hubbub were seeing a significant increase in brain drain from those countries to us. This is significant because given the bad press and higher collectivism in Canada one would expect that to be the destination of choice for Latin Americans with means. Though maybe it is just too cold in Canada. ;)
A: George Soros.
I had a boss once who liked to say (only half-jokingly), "There are two kinds of people--elephants and piss-ants--and I'm the only elephant!"
Fellow Gulchers, here is the Soros-funded organized effort to destroy our republic by using waves and waves of illegal immigrants to wear us down.
See an explanation of this: Chalkboard lesson, posted yesterday.
