  1. You are pro immigration, you are also averse to tax hehehe. Wealthy individuals moving to countries with lower tax like Mexico also are a problem, property prices increase because of them, consequently pushing local to the outskirts.

  2. The big thing is that American wages are the best in the world. I don't think there are many countries to achieve better investment or better possibilities.

  3. As a US citizen who lives in Mexico, absolutely we should open up immigration to everyone who wants to make America better. But, we need to use immigration as a tool to raise wages, not lower them. It’s not that Americans don’t want to farm, it’s that they don’t want to farm at sub $20/hour.

    We should never shut the door on immigrants, but we should require immigrants to be paid at least $20/hour full time to have a valid work visa, even if they work in Impoverished Arkansas.

    If we treated immigration like surge pay, that could place upward pressure on American wages. Require immigrants to be paid 125% the median wage, and use it as a way to raise wages in all industries.

    I believe anyone with good intentions and a good job offer should be allowed to come here. The only work visa limit should be only for infrastructure reasons (not enough housing, electricity, water, roads/transit, etc) to support the influx.

  4. No Andrew. Elon is right, and what he refers to is demographics, not elitetism.

    Our demographics suck although they are better than other countries like Germany or Italy or China.

    Second is energy security. We are better off than either Europe or Asia. Next is food security, we produce more calories per crop than any other country in the world. Lastly is topography. We have river way and water in the Midwest that allows movement of commodities and goods at a lower price.

    Agree with you should go where you are treated best and that our socio-political conditions are less than desirable. Having said that, environment and conditions matter.

    We are fans of your channel. We are currently in the process of obtaining permanent residency in Mexico as an alternative. We should have this done this month.

    Also looking at a 2nd Citizenship in the Caribbean. I've been talking and looking at St. Lucia and few others.

    Nome of these things are neutrally exclusive as you know

  5. Something you haven't touched on is, in the very near future automation will likely start taking over large parts of EVERY industry. Many cities have pilot projects for auto-driving taxis and shuttle buses, many food producers are also looking at atomization, which means you cut in half your workforce..
    So, is it really necessary anymore to import thousands, millions of unskilled workers where unskilled work is on a decline?
    Mass immigration also puts a downward pressure on all salaries, so the poorest must compete with people willing to do the same job for half the money..
    while at the same time putting an upwards pressure on real estate prices and rent.. so once again the cheapest rents are on the increase. It's not the doctor who is looking for low-cost housing, it's the local unskilled worker who has to compete in the housing market too.
    People like Elon, who regularly hire massive workforces for deliveries, cleaning and maintenance etc.. benefit from opening the floodgates..

  6. Waiting for the tax advantages of Martian immigration video. Give it another fifty years, perchance. I'd love to see it in my lifetime. Musk's comments are both political and relative. He knows the problems of big government and his ideals very much align with those of this channel. Unfortunatnly, he doesn't have the luxury to only align himself with minimum government interference locations. He also needs an actual super power to shelter (and act as the keystone customer for) his space program. And it was only the success of SpaceX itself that convinced the US Gov, and subsequently some of the other space powers, that space access was a thing that the private sector could handle.

  7. I THINK THAT ELON IN MANY WAYS DOES HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA BECAUSE UNITED STATES IS A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE CAPITAL TO GET STARTED IT USED TO BE SAD HERE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT IF YOU WANTED CAPITAL OR YOU WANTED BUSINESS YOU NEEDED TO GO TO I BELIEVE WHAT MINNESOTA OR THE NORTHERN STATES WHERE BECAUSE OF THE COLD IT HAS INSPIRED PEOPLE TO REALLY WORK AND THE MAJORITY OF SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES WERE COMING OUT OF THAT WORK ETHIC WHICH IS A BYPRODUCT OF THE COLD ( AS YOU MENTIONED SWITZERLAND ALL THE SO-CALLED HAPPIEST PLACES TEMPERATURE WISE ARE THE MOST MISERABLE PLACES ) AND THERE'S NO MENTION THAT PAYPAL STARTED BASICALLY WITH NOTHING OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM AS DID HIS ELECTRONIC GAME I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT BUT IF YOU CALL HIS OFFICE HE WILL HEAR SOME OF THE NASTY SOUND EFFECTS FROM I BELIEVE IT'S FROM THAT GAME BUT HE HAS STOLEN IDEAS FROM ME THAT I SHARED WITH HIM THROUGH THAT OFFICE PHONE NUMBER LIKE THE IDEA OF PLACING NUCLEAR POWERED ROCKETS AND PODS ANCHORED TO THE SEABED THAT COULD BE RAISED FOR LAUNCHING AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT'S MY PROBLEM I ALWAYS GET RIPPED OFF FOR MY IDEAS I'M THE MAN WHO WROTE THE OUTLINE FOR WHAT EVERYBODY CALLS STAR WARS ACTUALLY THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE AS I WORKED TO HELP MAKE RONALD REAGAN SUCCESSFUL BUT IN THE END I NEVER GOT PAID BECAUSE THEY JUST GAVE ME A CARDABLANCHE ( OR WHATEVER THEY CALLED IT I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER MAYBE IT WAS AMERICAN EXPRESS JUST ONE OF THE EARLIEST CARDS ) CARD AND BACK THEN NOBODY KNEW WHAT IT WAS AND I HAD NO USE FOR I THINK IT JUST FINALLY EXPIRED I NEVER ACTUALLY TOOK A DOLLAR OUT OF IT OH RIGHT MOST COMPANIES BACK THEN WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE IT . I'M NOW 72 AND BECAUSE OF SOME FAILED INVESTMENTS AND NEARLY BROKE BUT I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS I DO LOOK FORWARD TO DOING A FEW MORE PROJECTS AND SELLING MY ONE REMAINING ASSET MY HOUSE 🏠 AT 2044 MAPLETON HERE IN BOULDER COLORADO WHICH SHOULD GENERATE SOME MILLIONS AND ALSO BASED ON I DON'T VALUE THINGS BY REAL ESTATE NUMBERS I LOOK AT THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR MONEY MARKETS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY GOOD THREE TIMES WHAT THE LAST THING SOLD FOR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF AS YOU KNOW THE WORTHLESS DOLLAR 💵
    AND BUYING A LARGE AS POSSIBLE SAILING CATAMARAN THAT IS READY TO GO AND DOESN'T NEED ANY WORK OR I'D END UP SPENDING THE REST OF MY LIFE WORKING ON IT AND NEVER EVEN GET OUT TO GO SAILING BEYOND THE HARBOR
    I CAN HONESTLY SAY I'VE NEVER GOTTEN REPAID FOR ALL I'VE DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY WHAT I DID ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES WITH AND FOR RONALD REAGAN ENDED THE COLD WAR NOW WE'RE JUST ABOUT IN ANOTHER ONE BUT THAT ONE COULD END WITH ONE WELL PLACED SHOT INTO PUTIN'S HEAD OR BODY AND LIKEWISE TO ALL HIS CLOSEST ASSOCIATES AND FAMILIES ANYONE THAT WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE AND THINKS ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HE THINKS TOTAL INSANITY TO RETURN TO THE PAST .
    BUT I FELL INTO YOU BEING A WEAPONS AND TACTICS FOR THOSE WEAPONS DESIGNER WHICH DOES NOT PAY ALL THAT WELL ALL THE MONEY ENDS UP GOING TO BLACK ROCK BLACK WATER AND THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WHICH SADLY TO SAY WE REALLY SHOULD BE TEACHING FRIENDSHIP NOT WAR
    THE FOUNDATION FOR WHY YOUR IDEA OF BEING IN OTHER COUNTRIES IS SO MUCH BETTER IS COUNTRIES THAT DID NOT FOCUS ON MILITARY BUT FOCUSED MORE ON TAKING CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE AND EDUCATION .
    I'M HOPING THAT YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT ME SOON ABOUT A PROJECT I HAVE ON MENTAL HEALTH THAT I BELIEVE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD AS I KNOW I'VE HELPED YOU THAT ONCE BEFORE BY HELPING HIM END THE COLD WAR .

  8. When Elon came to the US, it was a great place for the entrepreneurial spirit, and he made great use of the opportunities here. However, he apparently thinks that is still the case, and encourages others to do so. Sorry, but it just isn’t. The culture is simply not there as much anymore. To be a successful entrepreneur is to be trampled by government and hated by the Frankfurt school-contaminated culture.

  9. People with high education or high wealth should be able to move to the USA because they will not be a burden for the country.

    But when it comes to poor immigration then It's just simple math that not a single country in the world can have open borders, you can never let in more people than you can afford to take care of, especially when there already are no jobs, housing, room for in schools, healthcare or social care and the list goes on and on and on, otherwise it will be too huge stresses on society and the welfare (which it already is) and the country's economy will collapse and then you have turned your country into a third world country just like the countries the poor people are fleeing from and then you have global poverty.
    USA already has enormous problem with powerty, criminality, healthcare, social care, schools and the list goes on and on and to just continue to let in more people than you can take care of will only lead to more poverty and misery and the end of USA as a world power and first world country.
    It's just facts folks and it has nothing to do with r a c i s m or whatever they want to call it these days.
