Incentives explain outcomes. Milton Friedman observed that you cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state. America’s earlier waves of immigration succeeded so well because, prior to 1914, the country maintained open borders without a welfare system. Immigrants arrived to work, support themselves and their families, and build...

Congressman Brandon Gill says diversity is not helping America, it’s destroying us “The melting pot simply isn't melting. That's a problem. The foreign-born population is about as high as it's ever been in American history. What is the purpose of an immigration system? The purpose of our immigration system is to benefit our people. Historically, American immigration was predicated on two key ideas. One of those was you cannot be what's called a public burden. In other words, you can't come into the country and immediately hop on welfare and expect the American people to pay for your food and your housing, your healthcare and everything else. The second was a concept of cultural assimilation. You were expected to come into the United the United States and to become fully American, not a hyphenated American, you're expected to adopt our customs, our core beliefs, revere our heritage just like we do. Part of the rationale behind drastically reducing legal immigration as well as illegal immigration is allow that assimilation to actually occur, for people to actually melt and recohere as an American society.” Around 53% of households headed by foreign-born immigrants use at least one major means-tested welfare program I saw some data that showed 70% of Mexicans that come to America are on welfare, I made a post about it previously No immigrant should ever qualify for any welfare programs. They should be for American citizens and American taxpayers only

The South African Immigration Crisis And How It Can Fixed With A Long Term Solution The political and economic chaos in neighbouring countries around South Africa benefits businesses and opportunistic politicians in South Africa. That is why business doesn’t condemn the abuse of human rights, rigging of elections and corrupt rule in countries like Zimbabwe, it is not in their best interest to do so because they benefit from the outcomes of failed rule in Zimbabwe. How does this work? Zimbabwe’s unemployment rate is 95%, it has the highest inflation in the world (1266% per year), hospitals have collapsed, and it is hell on earth without any social welfare system due to the continued looting of public funds by the Zimbabwean tyrant and his goons. This pushes desperate and unemployed Zimbabweans to cross the border into South Africa to find a job, healthcare, and a better life. When they cross over into South Africa, either legally or illegally, and overstay, they become vulnerable to local businesses which offer them employment paying very low wages, they take the jobs because they are desperate to survive. Businesses or farm owners in Limpopo or on wine farms in Cape Town badly underpay them, knowing they have no recourse to the law because they are illegal, something that they cannot do to a South African citizen who is protected by the law. As this happens, wages drop because cheap labour is now available, and it is not unionised so they cannot fight for any rights to fair wages. These Zimbabweans, and Africans in general, will take anything to survive and see another day, they have families to feed back in their countries of origin. This disempowers the South African worker, who cannot negotiate for higher wages because that power has been eroded and taken away by the availability of cheap labour. Businesses, in turn, tell the locals to go hang if they try to negotiate for a living wage because they have cheap labour readily available, the illegal immigrant needs the job. The locals (South Africans) get angry and fight these illegal immigrants in their communities, leading to the emergence of vigilante groups and peripheral opportunistic political actors who exploit this to gain votes from locals who feel stifled and desperate in their own country. Cosmetic, choreographed police and immigration raids are carried out to appease the restive poor and unemployed South Africans. These illegal immigrants are deported on a Monday, and by Friday, they are back. This is known as the revolving door. The border officials are so corrupt that they facilitate this revolving door because they profit from it, so you cannot currently use immigration control to deal with this on land borders where people come by road. Some illegal immigrants do not even leave South Africa because the police who arrest them will also accept bribes. In this heated emotional debate in South Africa, no real solutions are proposed because opportunistic politicians simply shout “ABAHAMBE,” get some votes and repeat the same to remain relevant in public discourse. It is funny how it is so easy to appease voters with such empty slogans that do not bring any tangible solutions, but the desperate voter is fickle, they fall for anything. What these politicians do not say, or choose to ignore, is that when these illegals go, they will return the next day. It is an inconvenient conversation for politicians because it undermines their ability to mobilise votes. The root cause of this immigration crisis lies in Zimbabwean and African politics driven by corrupt rule, the abuse of human rights, and rigged elections. President Cyril Ramaphosa and his ruling ANC political party publicly support the authors of this crisis in Zimbabwe, so the root cause cannot be addressed at the source now until South Africans have an honest family conversation to deal with this once and for all. Unemployed Zimbabweans feel that the ANC and its government have a moral obligation to let them come because they are supporting corrupt rule in Zimbabwe, and they are doing so publicly. This is compounded by the cowardice of Zimbabweans and the dearth of any meaningful opposition leadership in that country. Yet we have a serios crisis. So, what do we do about it to resolve the illegal immigration nightmare in South Africa, which is driving wages down and enriching businesses and the political class? Someone must put meaningful proposals on the table because this has been with us for decades, and it remains unresolved. These proposals should not be rooted in emotional discourse, but practical realities that confront South Africa. This crisis can’t be resolved through political rhetoric or “Abahambe” or any empty Pan-African slogans which ignore the ongoing realities. Real leaders provide practical solutions and don’t do it for social media retweets or likes, but for solid and long term resolutions that that will fix the crisis. We know that wages are being pushed down for South Africans due to the availability of cheap labour from illegal immigrants, and that these illegal immigrants cannot demand better wages because they cannot approach the authorities or unionise, given their illegal immigration status. The only way out, to help local South African workers who refuse to work for a pittance in restaurants, and rightly so, is to legalise those already in South Africa, so that the authorities know who they are. You implement regulations ensuring that these workers can be employed and pay taxes, but also make sure that jobs must be offered to South Africans first, they do that in Zimbabwe with the little jobs available, and that is a standard practice the world over. Where no South African is willing to take up the job, it can be offered to a documented migrant, who will be paying taxes. It will now be easier to negotiate for better wages because all workers local and migrant will now be unionised, something that big business and the political class privately do not want because it takes away the power to undermine wage negotiations and to campaign for votes respectively. Wages will rise for South African workers because everyone will then be able to negotiate for a better wage without fear of being deported. Any company caught employing illegal immigrants will be shut down immediately using laws created to deal with this problem of greedy business owners taking advantage of illegal immigration, with all the money in its bank accounts seized by the State. This will stop the employment of anyone illegal and undocumented and will provide cover for those given an amnesty for documentation. I want to make this clear, South Africans will never be able to negotiate for a living wage if there are illegal immigrants, politicians will lie to the citizens but this is the unpalatable truth. Once this is resolved, opportunistic politicians will then focus on service delivery rather than gaslighting poor South Africans with “Abahambe,” knowing that when the illegals go, they will return tomorrow morning. When illegal immigrants are documented and have bank accounts, they will begin to pay taxes and can also become entrepreneurial, creating businesses that will employ more South Africans and contribute to economic growth of South Africa. Documenting illegals and gathering their biometric data will also reduce crime because undocumented immigrants can commit crimes and evade detection, as the South African state currently does not know who they are or where they live. When they work legally or open small businesses, they will contribute to the South African fiscus, which will fund the public hospitals they use and the schools their children attend. The revolving door applies to Africans who need visas too, they are deported to Nigeria, they acquire a new identity, fly to Zimbabwe and come to South Africa by road where they pay border officials a bribe and get it in. Zimbabwe is no longer a foreign policy issue only for the South African government, it is a domestic issue as well because of illegal immigration that has brought many Zimbabweans into South Africa. It is not their fault, they are also victims of a corrupt government and each time they try to vote out the regime in Harare, the ANC publicly support rigged elections and give diplomatic cover to the Zimbabwean tyrant Emmerson Mnangagwa. Refusing to document illegals hoping that deportations will solve the problem demonstrates incompetence and ignorance to how illegal immigration works. It will continue to perpetuate low wages for South Africans and those that shout “Abahambe” know this very well. Documentation will make it easy because these migrants will see it in their best interest to unionise and fight for a better wage. You set laws that everyone covered by this amnesty cannot apply for South African citizenship as they do in the United Arab Emirates because this should only be done to clear a long running problem to help deal with border control properly without losing focus because of those already in South Africa. Ministers cannot continue to pretend to be activists when they now sit on the cabinet table, if nothing changes during the five years they are in power, they would have failed, they cannot shout “Abahambe” again in 2029. Business cannot continue to benefit from the misery of poor Zimbabweans because of the refusal to document them, it is the South African citizen that will suffer more, deportation has failed to solve this problem. It is time for strong and reflective leadership that makes tough but sustainable decisions that have a long-term ability to resolve this issue. South Africans will have another opportunity to send a strong message in 2026, they should use it and not make the politicians continue to use this dysfunctionality continue at the expense of the South African citizen and the desperate undocumented immigrants. It is easy to control the border when you have cleaned up the existing problem in the country first, it requires men and women in leadership with a spine.

Friedberg’s Ideal Immigration Test: Worker or Welfare? (Or Makers vs Takers) “I'm all about discerning immigration, not on the lines of some cultural definition, but really around that simple framing of are you going to get social support services or are you going to work? Going back to my makers vs takers point, if the primary motivation for an individual to come to this country is to be given benefits, to be given payments, to be given social services, to be given support, I think that that person should be denied immigration. If the primary motivation for the individual to come to the United States is to work to progress themselves, to become a maker, to create things, to work in such a way that they can generate income, save capital, buy things, advance their family's position because they are denied those rights due to the tyranny of the place that they're coming from, then they should be granted immigration status to come to this country and contribute. Because at the end of the day, what people may not like to hear, which is the truth, is that every single one of those people is actually net positive in growing our economy. And everyone thinks it's a zero-sum game with respect to jobs in the United States, and we shouldn't let people into this country that create jobs. But the fundamental truth is that anyone that is productive, meaning they create more value than they take in, grows the economy and more jobs get created, and overall, we all benefit from having those individuals here in this country. And by the way, if you are going to work, you are going to culturally assimilate, because that is what the United States is based on, which is productivity, work hard, create things, and have individual agency, have the ability to progress yourself in this world, in this society. And if you take advantage of that opportunity, you're going to love the American ideals that this country was founded upon.”

WATCH: BLM activist backs Trump, wants illegals to leave America 'Big Mike' says the U.S. is only for those born there and that undocumented immigrants should leave. A Black Lives Matter activist spoke with Rebel News in a scathing interview on the anti-ICE demonstrations. He believes there are "a lot of bad apples" among immigrants and that those who crossed the border illegally should go back to their countries and return the right way, regardless of their origin. The activist says he voted for Donald Trump in the most recent presidential elections. In contrast, another person at the protest states they are there to support immigrants seeking a better life, including family and friends who cannot speak for themselves. They advocate for equal rights and encourage people to protest. A third person expressed love for President Claudia Sheinbaum for supporting deported individuals and wanting to give them benefits in Mexico. They believe in no borders and suggest everyone worldwide should have equal rights. During the protest, "Big Mike" asserted that the U.S. is only for those born there and that undocumented immigrants should leave and return legally. A masked protester countered that the U.S. is also their motherland, acknowledging the difficulty of legal immigration. “Big Mike” claims President candidate Kamala Harris enabled illegal immigrants to get IDs and that these individuals are involved in crimes like rape, citing specific instances and stating that ICE apprehended and then released some, who then returned. The protester counters that these are a “few bad apples” and that most immigrants are seeking a better life, often due to U.S. actions in their home countries. The first speaker insists on legal immigration.

Spain on the Brink: Open Borders Unleash a Criminal Invasion, Vox Sounds the Alarm "This invasion cannot continue. It is not sustainable, nor is it justifiable." "They come here not looking for work but to exploit Spain’s welfare system." "What we are seeing is an increase in illegal immigration of more than 100% this year compared to last year." "The Canary Islanders are suffering an invasion they did not provoke, they do not encourage, and they did not call for." "Imagine what will happen when all this distribution of illegal immigration, along with the conflicts it brings, is spread throughout the rest of the nation." "In Sweden, they realized they made a mistake. In France, they’ve already realized they made a mistake. In England, we still don’t fully understand why they remain so stubborn about this mistake." "Spain’s fate is very similar to Sweden’s, Belgium’s, France’s, and England’s." "Illegal immigrants come for the subsidies, not to find a job. They come looking for assistance, something that allows them to live off absolutely nothing." "Vox will never deceive the Spaniards or anyone who wants to come here to work legally and in an orderly manner." "We don’t have a future for them. I wish we did, but it’s abundantly clear that we don’t." Left-wing leaders are flooding our countries with migrants who have no intention of contributing, just living off our hard work. They aren’t here to build a future but to exploit our systems, erode our culture, and strain our services. This isn’t accidental; it’s a calculated strategy to weaken us from within.
