Note: Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama were not actually "RADICAL LEFTISTS." I was trying to be "funny." Also, another law I left out was the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. It was pretty meh, and probably made illegal immigration even more of a mess today.

Hell, just imagine America without Chinese restaurants, the best damn pizza in the world, all you can eat sushi buffets,the kolache Factory, cinco de mayo, st Patrick’s day, Chicano culture, rap and hip-hop and country and bluegrass music. Everything we’ve absorbed, assimilated, improved, and embraced is almost entirely immigrant influenced.

Mr. Beat would you consider doing a mini biography video on William Goebel? He’s the only American governor to ever be assassinated in office, and his story is very interesting. He fought and won a duel against a former Confederate soldier over road tolls, initially lost his election, got the results overturned, was shot the day before his inauguration, almost caused a civil war in Kentucky, and then died a few days later.

Like for example he was almost fatally hit by a rogue wave in pearl harbor, he accidentally shot a guy named Bob Portner while showing how L.C Graves tried to grab Jack Ruby's gun, he lost an eye, etc etc. And the man lived to 100. But he isn't anything to make an entire video about I guess, William Goebel is, though

Although I understand the main message that quote is trying to convey, some claims in the quote are not true. For example in Germany, "Being German" doesn't specifically have anything to do with race. Cem Özdemir, who is the current agriculture minister of Germany, is of Turkish descent, he is the children of immigrants but he is still considered to be German and he identifies as a German. Similarly in Turkey, there are many people who are of Kurdish, Circassian ethnicity who consider themselves to be Turkish and they are regarded as Turkish by law.

@liamkelly1999 23 дня назад

Great video as usual Mr Beat! As an Irish man, I just wanted to talk about something you said about Ireland in the video. 🇮🇪 The Great Famine took place between 1845-1852. Before this event the population of Ireland was around 8.5 million. The Famine took the lives of 1 million while another 1 million emigrated creating what we now call the Irish Diaspora which is estimated to be about 80 million people today, including 33 million in the US alone! Sustained emigration took place all the way up until around the 1960s when our population hit its lowest point of around 2.5 - 3 million. That’s right, our population had more than halved since the Famine. It was only in the 1960s and 1970s that Ireland began to see significant economic changes and growth and with it came a boost in population. Today, our population sits at around 5.2 million. This number shows the effect the Great Famine had on our country. We still haven’t recovered in population since and it was 172 years ago. It’s also worth noting that many in Ireland (including myself admittedly) believe that there wasn’t a Famine in Ireland in 1845 as much as there was an attempted genocide committed by the British Empire. It’s believed there was more than enough food in the country at the time but it was being shipped out to feed people elsewhere. Many believe it was at the time, one of the largest man-made famines of all time. This however, is a debate for another time… Thank you for all the great videos Mr Beat, I’m a an avid subscriber all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 Keep them coming!

He's a silly liberal, America has over 340 million people in 2024 and that isn't even counting the illegals and we have millions. Just to give you an idea, we had about 282 million people in 2000. We have added about 60 million people in less than 25 years. Liberals like him, I wonder what is the cut off, 800 million or a billion people?

@@iammrbeat it is very fascinating, yeah! I got interested in it around the time of my 15th birthday in 2016 and 8 years later it’s taken over my life haha. Generally speaking I’m of English, German, French, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch descent, but there’s also Austrian, Danish, and Welsh (there’s French-Canadian and Swiss-German but I just group those with French and German respectively). Immigrated to places like New England, Missouri, Kansas, and Virginia to eventually end up in the far west. Wish I had more friends that were into this stuff. And you’re welcome! Always a good day when you upload!

@@elmdixon that’s pretty cool! : D. My family history here fluctuates back and forth, sometimes depending on the line. Despite my Dad’s Matrilineal line coming in the 1890s from Germany, my 2nd great grandfather on my paternal grandma’s line, Friedrich, married a French woman (which, heh, I have to wonder the rate at which that occurred back in that time frame considering the rivalry). My paternal great grandmother through my paternal grandfather had ancestors from Prussia, even from the parts of Prussia that are now Polish. They were Mennonites and originally moved to a colony in Ukraine for a while before coming to Kansas. When they made their way to California in the 1910s they took up ranching. As for my Mom’s side, my Great Grandfather on my Mom’s patrilineal line served in the First World War and Russian Civil War in the British army. He came to Ellis Island in November 1921 and made his way to Texas where he met my Great Grandmother. On my Mom’s matrilineal end, my maternal grandmother’s patrilineal end is almost impossible to research but that end came from County Galway, Ireland in the 1880s. Always really enjoy hearing other people’s family histories, always interesting factoids to be heard from them.

I think this is a very informative video, however I feel like you could've elaborated a bit more on why so many immigrants from South & Central America are currently coming to the US. I know it's a larger topic that would probably require a video of it's own, but I think it's important context. The US paints it as bad that they're coming here, but never discuss how the economic problems that many of these countries face are the direct result of US (or rather CIA) meddling throughout the 20th century.

@RandomPerson-lk6cb 22 дня назад

The minute the United States stopped meddling in El Salvador, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Nicaragua immigrants stopped coming as much. That should tell you everything. Most immigrants from Latin America today are from Venezuela, which is under a U.S. blockade. Yes the Maduro regime has to take a lot of the blame but the United States is not helping things

@EddieHenderson92 8 дней назад

Not defending what the American government has done in those countries, but we didn't do it as citizens, and we can't keep taking people in. It's common sense, we need many things fixed before we accept new people.

@EddieHenderson92 "we need many things fixed" which would require tax dollars which having more people would provide 🤔. Not saying you're one of these people, but the same people who say "no one wants to work anymore" are the same that want to deny immigrants (people coming here willing to work).

@kat1284 22 дня назад

Thanks for covering this, Mr. Beat. I feel like everyone should know and be reminded of the history of immigration to this country and the reasons for it in order to make an informed decision when voting or discussing the topic. My dad immigrated from Mexico with his close family when he was 16. It’s definitely left a lasting impression on our family, and my identity. From my grandparents having a “better” experience crossing the border because of their economic status and color of their skin, to the struggles of gaining their citizenship and finding stable careers and higher education. There is so much to discuss regarding immigration, and I think you did a great job with this video 👍 Thanks again!

Nobody is saying all immigrants are drug dealers. The thing is though, some of them are. America 100 percent supports legal immigration, but it’s illegal immigration that is a danger to our country. People could have unknown criminal history, be wanted by the law, or smuggling drugs. Like I said, I know all illegal immigrant aren’t dangerous people, but some are.

I’m not an immigrant, but I am the child of immigrants. Both of my parents are undocumented. That being said, I would argue that my parents are just as if not more American than I am. They choose to stay here, contribute to the economy, pay taxes, and overall live an American style of life. Without them, I would be nothing. I’m so grateful for my parents, they worked extremely hard so that I can have a typical American upbringing. Tee ball, prom, college, and even getting married. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of that without my parents sacrificing their time and energy working so that I could enjoy the fruits of their labor. Gracias mama y papa.

The vast majority of my own ancestors arrived prior to the Civil War, with some arriving as far back as 1635 Jamestown, so most of them arrived before well the increasingly strict national immigration restrictions began to materialize at the end of the 19th century.

Wait, for the UAE and Saudi Arabian having a higher immigration rate/% of immigrants rate, is this including migrant labor under temporary contracts? From my understanding several of the countries you cited have high rates of migrant labor that is contractually time bound based upon the projects they are working on. It probably would be incredibly hard to section that out based upon publicly available data, but it's also not generally what we would call immigration. Of course that might be accounted for already, but I couldn't find much specifics quickly through googling. Do you know if your numbers included this or excluded this?

I really enjoyed, One Billion Americans, by Matthew Yglesias. It makes a strong case for needing more people for America to stay on top economically. This can only really be done via immigration, and it points to multiple examples of how even "worst case" immigration situations still benefitted the country/region. In particular, Cuba trolled us good when we allowed a one time anyone can flee the country since it was falling to communism, and they sent us boatlods of criminals and unwanted persons to Miami. But, it still helped the economy. For many reasons, the American economy does just fine so long as it has more people to sell stuff to. So let's get more people not less. (seriously, the west is shrinking and the economies of many countries are fucked, America has a golden ticket out and people are like, nah, let's fuck ourselves too)
