Italians react to How Big Is USA Actually? 

A big part of the why US has stayed in power is that it attracts talents from around the world. And almost all immigrants from Asian or Indian background work in STEM. Jews, Indians and East Asians have the highest household income in America.

The look of disgust on their faces throughout the video is hilarious.

Could you also react to how big great lakes are in America it's crazy your mind will be blown I promise

I am from Chicago. Love it! As far as immigration goes, you are quite correct the we like to pick the immigrants that we want. To us that means legal immigrants. We don't like people breaking the law to come here. A great way to immigrate is to graduate from an American university. My wife is from China and her nephew graduated with his Masters degree in Boston and now has a green card and a great job. My wife and I met in China but now she is a proud American citizen. We have been married almost 18 years.

Illegal immigration is the biggest bone of contention.

A lot of our military bases are just supply depots that would come in handy if and whenever conflict broke out near them. They also serve as rapid deployment bases with airfields so that troops and equipment can fly in at quick notice. My point is that not all of them are massive bases like Ramstuhl in Germany is or Bagram in Afghanistan was.

Every country on this planet has it's issues, the USA has some pretty difficult issues we are dealing with right now and we have a past that is not so pretty. But we are also the most giving country on this planet. We have our saints and sinners. But right now we are all concerned for Ukrainian brothers and sisters 😪☮❤☮

1:10 The US is bigger than Australia. Which is another very large country. 3:23 Very good, you got them all. 4:00 NYC is a small area but packs a lot of people in. When they said the metro NYC area, that goes beyond the city itself. 8:14 Here in Texas we have few problems with Mexican immigrants. I think you are confusing illegal immigrants & those smuggling drugs to bring weapons back to Mexico. Immigrants are completely different. 10:14 The US will consider the poor immigrants still but it isn't a large number percentage wise (except for Mexico). I have seen some from eastern Europe waiting to go thru customs. It was pretty sad to see some of them at the time on our flight from Poland. We met a family on the plane from Albania. Just farmers really & they wanted to practice their English.

I love how you just ignore the illegal immigration......... one thing I always thought was how bad does a place have to be for people to go through so much just to get to America? Those are the people I can relate too and understand.

I lived in Detroit suburbs for 35 years, about 30 years in Troy Mi. Troy is a town of about 80,000 people but 69 different languages are natively spoken there. So yeah I think we are a welcoming people.

“High standards for people to immigrate.” *checks paper* - Legally - Not a criminal - Not a Terrorist - Nice Person (Optional) Me: *Confused face*

My best friends dad moved their family from Thailand (to the USA) like 30 years ago, but he was some kind of engineer. I’ve never experienced it, but I have heard our immigration policy is pretty difficult if you aren’t “high value”… which makes sense. Also, Canada and the USA have (effectively) an open border; largest on the planet. There wouldn’t be a great reason for a Canadian to move to America unless it was for work, or family; they can come and go as they please, basically. Loved living in Rome for a couple months back when I was in high school. Hope I can bring my wife to Italy some day.

Actually, rich countries like the USA tends to hire people from 3rd World Countries and not rich ones like Canada because they are cheaper to pay and that people from 1st World Countries often demands higher salary from their employers. That’s how Globalization works... I think.

GDP - Gross Domestic Product. PPP - Purchasing Power Parity.

speaking of immigration, it would be interesting to see modern Italians' reaction to historical American events involving Italian immigrants, like the Haymarket Riot (which created May Day, international workers' day) and the Palmer Raids that disproportionately targeted Italians.

You guys should reach to “the first Medal of Honor ever recorded” by Dan schilling books

There is no hate for immigrants. There is hate for illegal immigrants. Big difference. People who have done the work to go through the legal process get welcomed with open arms. I have a good friend that came here that way. He respects this country. You can't expect people to see you in a good light when the very first thing you do coming here is violate the law.

Australia is #6 at 2,966,153 sq.mi./4,772,540 sq.km. USA #4 at 3,618,770/5,822,601. Our Armed Forces include the Navy, Air Force and Marines, as well😙 as the Army.

I'm late to comment and don't expect a reaction, but I'm in Dallas and Texas has had a huge influx of immigrants who have helped our country grow, this includes cheap labor from the south and lots of IT specialist from Asia. Size-wise, everything you hear about Texas is correct. You can drive for 8 hours from one part of the state to another, and still be inside the state.

Love from india kerala 🙂🙏🧡

When you come across the border skipping over others that are following the rules I have a issue with that and then you still expect to be able to go to our Hospitals and schools and not have to contribute to the local city, State and Federal Taxes that pay for all that I have a problem with that

The problem is illegal immigration causes people applying for legal citizenship to be put on a wait list for 10 to 20 years that's why this system is so badly broken but they lead you to think it's because they don't want certain populations they just want to make sure everybody has a fair shot

Realistic discussion. Thank you.

I think the military budget increased this year. It's around 750 to 800 billion now. I imagine it's a trillion because of the more secret costs or extra stuff they need Also the issues with immigration is just illegal immigration. As they said in the video almost 1 million people a year try to live in america which is a huge stress for the government

I'm an Italian-American, My father was 100% Italian (Sicily & Naples), my mother is 50% Italian (Rome), and as you know from visiting the US, the American people are very welcoming and friendly. With the exception of business visas, the reason we have restrictions on immigration is not because of how much money the immigrant or origin country has, but what kind of ideas, education and way of thinking different nationalities have, it just so happens those things result in better economies. When the biggest percentage of European immigrants came to the US based on US population at the time, starting during the reconstitution period starting in the late 1860's (post US Civil War) through the beginning of the Great Depression in late 1920's, they wanted to leave behind authoritarian governments and people divided by different classes based on wealth, family or who they knew politically. When they got here, they wanted to take part in American life, such as religious freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to start a business & build personal wealth, and they wanted to learn the language and take part in American culture, which is known as assimilation, but at the same time keep their proud heritages & cultures, but add it to the American culture. People seeking to bring the same failed ideas that causes their country to be impoverished or tose creating class warfare were not wanted. That is the problem today, much of the people immigrating from Latin American countries, which is all the countries south of the US southern border, want to come to America for financial opportunity only, they don't try to learn the language and they bring down wages by taking lower wages for skilled work, being paid under the table without paying taxes. Americans can't compete because of the cost of living because they're paying taxes.

The former Soviet Uniion (Russia) has 12 time zones. It's a much larger nation in area.

Yes, turkey’s migration is almost solely form the Middle East, displaced people moving from war torn areas and taliban (and friends) controlled territories

Us military is voluntary as well, we only draft during war, if not enough volunteers.

The military budget is now over 700 billion per year.

Canada is about 200,000 Km2 bigger than the US

America is a nation of immigration. That being said, most Americans would like to know who is entering our country not people who cross our borders illegally. We don't know if people crossing illegally are here for work or for more nefarious reasons such as drug or human trafficking. Undocumented aliens are also exploited more for cheap labor than a person who is here legally. We are a very diverse people but if you come to New York you'll find people from every nation and cuisine from every nation. BTW, the best Italian food in the US can be found in NYC and its surrounding environs.

Io sono Siciliano e Napulitan. It's pretty much the same size as Australia, but we don't need anything.

the 2023 military budget was recently approved by congress. just a bit less than 900,000,000,000 USD

3:58 "New York City is not that big" WTF????

If you look at the immigration policy of every country today, you will find that most countries try to pick and choose who they allow to enter. That's not just an American trait. If you're looking historically though, there was a lot of racism involved in immigration policy in the US, and I suspect if you research it, you will find that is the case in much of Europe and North America, among other places.

An increasing proportion of people coming across our southern border are laborers nearing retirement age. This places an undue burden on the taxpayers who already receive too little benefit from their tax dollars.

Italy is just under half the size of Alaska

On the immigration we worry about crime as well because a disproportional rate of criminals are coming from Mexico , there are alot of Mexicans that are hard working and we would love to have here but almost all the drug trafficking's and human trafficking's is coming across that boarder so its a sensitive topic.

we are the best in the world !

8:15 We're against illegal immigration, not immigration. We have a route to citizenship, you don't get to jump the line!

In usa Till 1965, only europeans were allowed to immigrate in the usa with a nation based quota system. For non europeans quota was very low. After 1965 immigration act, country based quota system was abolished and preferred any skilled workers from any nation. That led to huge increase in asian Chinese philipino indian and other non Europea population and that has led to European white population in usa from 80% in 1960s to 59% now. Also because overall population has almost doubled so percentage will go down because of it

Yes i am bragging and i have lost many of friends because of war but also its because we believe in ourseleves ! Chow ! LOL

America really doesn’t care where people immigrate from, we just want it done legally.

I believe it was the great philosopher Derrick Lewis who said USA in this ho

The immigrants that are welcome here are those that do it legally, and willing to work hard and contribute to society when they get here.

More induab reactions. You guys r good

Pls react to geography now philippines

“They like to pick the immigrants they want” Isn’t this the same with every country? Don’t you want to admits the most likely individuals to assimilate to society and are the most likely to make a significant contribution to the success of the nation? I don’t get people that think borders shouldn’t exist. We are a sovereign nation with our own interests. Mexico is a terrible country with all the opportunity and still they fail. Would you want enough people from that country where they start to have enough influence to change the country? Most of them would have an authoritarian government and would have themselves be dependent on that government. They same thing they just left. Americans have legitimate concerns about mass immigration from Mexico and other 3rd world countries. In the US the people have the power and if you change the demographic enough the country will change. Perhaps in a way you don’t want it to. Do you want the USA to become broke when they have the worlds second largest nuclear arsenal? Do you want a country like North Korea have the power the US has?

How's that immigration working out for Italy ???? Let's hear the real truth.

Thanks for pizza. We like it.

RUSIA is very big

Wow, didn't realize how old this video is until it started talking about China. Obviously at the time of making this video, the economic situation in China had just barely started making itself known to the rest of the world. Now, I'll be surprised if China remains at the number 2 GDP and number 1 PPP by the end of 2024. It already lost the population top spot to India. Nevertheless I'll watch this video to the end.

every country chooses who can live within their borders. Try immigrating to another country. Maybe the EU is easy, but it's not easy to immigrate to another country.

If you want views please react on Indian content. This is only a suggestions it's all upto you Your choice your decision

Great videos. Sad to say, but you both know more about the United States than some of the people here these days. The country is quite divided.

We like immigrants who come to our country LEGALLY!!!

You were distracted because you both were rude and talking to each other rather than concentrating on the video. Just watch the video first then give your reactions.

Do you know why you are alive today ?.....Do your research !!!

If I can please allow me explain the immigration of the United States and I'm going to kind of give you a little bit of a analogy. Now you have your own home now do you want to just anybody walking into your house uninvited? I would say the answer to that is no. I have absolutely no problem with anybody coming into this country legally. You must come through the proper channels. If you don't then you are illegal and we have what's called vetting which means that it's like when you go to get a job and then they run background checks on you it's kind of along the same lines. And just since Biden has been the so-called president there is no such thing as immigration it's just a free-for-all right now and $100, 000 American citizens have lost their lives to illegal entering the country. I respectfully asked that you do some research and understand why countries have borders. There is an old saying that says fences make better neighbors and that is so true. Once again let me say what I said, I have no problem with anybody coming here legally and contributing to the United States and our society the majority of Americans I'm sure feel that way. I do enjoy these videos but I do want people from other countries to understand that when the United States is safe and strong then the rest of the free world and the world in general is usually much safer and much stronger. I said my peace God bless.

United States is the fourth largest nation in area size, behind Russia, Canada, and China, in that order. We’re also the third largest in population, right behind China and India.

Well as an American, I must say you are correct about Americas political situation especially over the last five years under the Trump Republican administration. During which time a lot more resistance to immigrants, more hostile to foreigners, repugnant and bigoted, which is typical under any Republican rule. So if you ever plan to come to the U.S. I would suggest visiting states that are not under Republican governors, or during a Republican controlled White House administration. You would find the people in those areas more hostile and resentful of foreigners, especially those of color, Latin, Asian or middle eastern. If you visit under a democratic administration or states that are democratically controlled, you will find the people much more friendly and courteous to any and all visitors. And yes, I feel ashamed at my countrymen on the other side of the political spectrum. But that is what is happening these past twenty years with the rise of right wing extremist authoritarianism.

I'm sorry to leave a negative comment, but you two are incredibly shallow, your knowledge does not extend very far, you let your prejudices blind you. I hope you do a lot more growing up before you even think about reproducing. The world already has too many shallow people in it. .My mother traveled all over the world, and was only a victim of a crime in Italy. But she still came home raving about the beauty of the architecture, the wonderful bounty of the food, and how most of the people she met were kind and beautiful.
