Milton Friedman put it bluntly: 'You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state. He explained why America's early open borders thrived—not from softness, but because immigrants came to work and contribute in a system with almost no welfare safety net pulling them in. Fast-forward to today: You...

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 new lives. Those who couldn’t succeed typically returned home. This environment naturally selected for self-reliant individuals and fueled tremendous economic growth. In contrast, today’s expansive welfare state, offering healthcare, education, housing assistance, and cash transfers, fundamentally alters the incentives. When immigrants, whether legal or illegal, can immediately access these benefits, it becomes possible for some to arrive and function as net fiscal drains rather than contributors. Friedman therefore opposed the unsustainable pairing of open borders with generous entitlements. So it’s not paradoxical why one would support pre-1914 immigration but oppose its later version. They are very different phenomena. Either can work on its own, but together they generate higher taxes, social friction, and long-term strain.

Immigration used to be a working-class issue. Workers saw it as competition for jobs, housing, hospital beds, and every other government benefit. Milton Friedman said it plainly: you cannot have open immigration and a welfare state. The welfare state turns into a magnet, pulling more people into a government system where the pie is fixed. Every new claimant takes from someone who was already there. Either benefits get cut, or taxes go up, and the working class always pays. That’s why the political class now scapegoats the rich. They need the working man angry at billionaires so he doesn’t notice his slice of the welfare pie shrinking or quietly accept higher taxes to fund it all. Keep the resentment pointed upward, and maybe he won’t turn on the politicians actually responsible.

Milton Friedman on the insidious effects of welfare: “The people who get on welfare lose their human independence and feeling of dignity. They become subject to the dictates and whims of their welfare supervisor.” “They’re treated like children, not like responsible adults, and they’re trapped in the system. Maybe a job comes up that looks better than welfare, but they’re afraid to take it because if they lose it after a few months, it may be six months or nine months before they can get back on to welfare. As a result, this becomes a self-perpetuating cycle, rather than simply a temporary state of affairs.”

Americans are calling for immigration reform, remigration and for all immigrants on welfare programs to be deported This woman believes immigrants should be reevaluated based on their contribution to America, “We're gonna have to evaluate what you do for work, what your standing is in society. Are you on welfare? Are you on EBT? And then we can go from there” Anyone on welfare should be an automatic deportation, if they’re a foreigner who’s has somehow gained legal status that should be revoked and deported This can be done in America because they’ve recently started doing this in Denmark Welfare dependency now leads to payback and deportation of immigrants In Netherlands, Austria and Germans long term welfare use can black permanent residency and lead to deportation

Bernie Sanders (pre-Trump/2015), explains how Illegal Immigration “makes US all Poorer.” 👇🏼 "Open borders?! That's a Koch bros. proposal. The idea, of course. I mean, that's a "Right Wing," proposal which says essentially there is no United States." It would make everybody in America POORER, you're doing away with the concept of a Nation State! And I don't think there's any Country in the world which believes in that? (Yeah, just wait)... "If you believe in a nation state or the COUNTRY called the United States, you have an obligation, in my view, to do everything we can to help poor people. What Right Wing people in this country would love is an OPEN border Policy, bringing all kinds of people work for 2 or $3 an hour!" "That would be great for them. I don't believe in that! I think we have to raise wages in this Country. I think we have to do everything we can to create the millions of jobs... You know what youth unemployment in the United States is? If you're White, a high school graduate -33%, a Hispanic - 36%, and an African American 51%!!! Do you think we should have open the borders, and bring in a lot of low wage workers, or do you think that we ought to get jobs for those kids?! So I think from a moral responsibility we should work with the rest of the Industrialized world to address the problems of International poverty, but you don’t do that by making everyone in this Country poorer.” - Bernie Sanders

Being on benefits should be hard and embarrassing… you should think I can’t wait to get off of Welfare !! (Not those with SEVERE Disabilities) Do you agree people who have never paid income tax should not be given cash if they are unemployed for over 6 months and should be given a basics living card buying only absolute essentials ?? What ideas would you come up with to get people off of benefits or cut welfare spend ?? We have to think of creative and firm ways to not only reduce the welfare bill which is set to be £400 billion, but also stop this level of dependency “the government will wipe your arse” society !!!

“One of the saddest things is that many of the children whose parents are on welfare will in their turn end up in the welfare trap when they grow up.” - Milton Friedman Many capable people want to work and provide, yet welfare rules pay single mothers more when the father stays away or leaves. But without the father, poor families are fractured and the same cycle passes down to their kids. It creates the incentive for recipients to trade their independence and dignity for bureaucratic control, with caseworkers treating them like children, deciding where they can live and what they do with their days. And even when a better job appears, fear of losing the job keeps them stuck because if they lose benefits, they might have to wait for months to get back on. And so what was sold as temporary help becomes a self-reinforcing trap that punishes work, ambition, and stable families.

McCormick: So back in 1914, we had anybody can come to America. And nobody had a problem with that. Free immigration, by the way. Why is that? Milton Friedman talked about it, and he’s a great economist, because something changed between then and probably the ’70s and ‘80s when all of a sudden—even back then—we started recognizing there was a problem. Why is that? What’s the difference between open borders and closed borders between 1914 and the ’70s and ’80s? PabloReports: Well, some people would say that it’s because white immigrants were coming in 1914 and Latinos were coming in the ’70s and ’80s. McCormick: Not at all. If you have jobs to come to and you’re paying taxes, everybody’s happy. But if you come here and you’re starting to take welfare and we’re paying for you being here, that is a cost to America. The business of America is business. If you’re doing something that’s bad for the American economy, that doesn’t lift the tide of all ships here, then it’s not good for America. This is about the American country that we’ve all grown accustomed to. And it has to make common sense. I mean, common sense is what we’re supposed to be about.

Late-stage welfare statism is claiming disability for acne and food intolerance. But that’s the incentive of the welfare state and that’s how you end up with some 25% of the population claiming disability. Of course people are going to game the system. It’s free money, and it’s other people’s money. So the government has zero incentive to spend less or spend it wisely. And the parasites have every incentive to grab as much as they can. This is what legal plunder produces. A society that disincentivizes production and incentivizes parasitism. One where claiming disability for fucking acne becomes a rational move.

🚨🇺🇸 CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES REPORT: 88% OF SOMALI HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN ON WELFARE A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies found staggering welfare dependency rates among Somali immigrants in the United States: 88% of Somali households with children are on welfare. Without children, 81%. 73% are on Medicaid. 54% receive SNAP benefits. The near-poverty rate sits at 66% with 40% unemployment. Only about 60% speak English. 41% lack a high school degree, compared to 5% for the general population. This data comes as the $1 billion Feeding Our Future fraud scandal continues to unfold in Minnesota, where state officials knew about problems as early as 2019 but allegedly faced pressure to stop asking questions. 61 convictions so far, with investigations ongoing. The question isn't about race. It's about policy. What is the purpose of an immigration system that imports populations with 88% welfare dependency? Who benefits from this arrangement? Some will call these questions racist. But asking whether immigration policy serves American interests isn't bigotry. It's basic governance. A country has every right to ask whether its immigration system is producing citizens who can contribute, assimilate, and thrive, or whether it's creating permanent dependent populations that strain public resources.

Hon'ble Justice M. Nagaprasanna is a judge who never minces words when public interest is at stake. Blunt, fearless, and unapologetic his courtroom leaves no space for political vendetta or doublespeak. Read/Listen to what he said 👇 "If you are not extending Jan Aushadhi Kendras of 120 sq ft, the state government is not acting in public interest. The state is not interested in the welfare of the public. You are only dislodging somebody who is doing well, sir, for the public, because it is Pradhan Mantri's part of the Government of India. Now that medicines are available there, you are having a headache. Politics even there. If Jan Aushadhi is a problem, the people will ask. Nobody asked you to give free. Who asked you, sir? Who asked for free bus? Was there a demand? It wasn't there. Today other government departments have not paid the salary. Should they not survive? Because all money has gone into this (free schemes)." Orders 👇 "We will not allow one wing of the government to tinker with medicines for the poor, whether free or at nominal price. The order (congress order to shut down Jan Aushadi kendra) is quashed. Public welfare cannot be sabotaged by vendetta." -Justice M. Nagaprasanna, Dharwad Bench, Karnataka High Court When a High Court Judge himself calls it “vendetta”, you know how low Congress has sunk. PM schemes serve poor. Congress schemes serve politics. Congress is anti poor. Anti welfare. Pure vendetta politics.

Vallée and the Closed System: Are We Prisoners? 🧠👽 Vallée: "Are We Being Taken Over by a Species from Somewhere in Space That's Vastly More Intelligent Than We Are?" 👽🧠 "..the simulation...was a new concept that I initially rejected." ~Vallée "Is it looking for us to try to interact with it as equals or with parity?" ~Scafish "Nobody says that to Congress, and I think Congress should hear it." ~Vallée If, "it's a closed system, we're like prisoners and something is going to happen to us, and there is very little we can do." ~Vallée Turn the thermostat dial. "If the temperature doesn't change, then I know I'm inside a control system. So, we can do the same thing with UFOs, but we have to react. We have to, number one, acknowledge that it exists, and number two, we have to react to it." ~Vallée ~~~ I've been wanting to share this one for a while... Vallée: "So, he said, the question you have to ask about UFOs is, number one, is it a natural system or an artificial system...control system. And if it is a control system, is it open or closed? In other words, are we being taken over by a species from somewhere in space that's vastly more intelligent than we are?" (I've never heard him even suggest that possibility.) Vallée: "You know, as Dr. Garry P. Nolan says, you know, people who have had ten, you know, scientific revolutions, or a hundred or a thousand, and come here with superior science to do something... And in which case, you know, it's a closed system, we're like prisoners and something is going to happen to us, and there is very little we can do. Or, is it an open system where we can, in fact, communicate with it. And if we can communicate with it, then the question for me as an information scientist is, what are the modalities of the interaction, you know? It's not just can we learn their language? And they say, you know, 'We come in peace to save mankind,' or something. Or 'We will give you the cure for cancer' or something. I don't think it's at that level." (Will we ever be able to get answers to these extremely important questions? If it's an open system, how do we communicate with it? How do we provoke it to react? We know it reacts to anything nuclear but we still don't know why. This is why we need the USG (and other governments) to present evidence that shows the masses this is real and extremely important for our species to investigate. If that evidence exists and is shown, we'll have an easier time getting the world's best minds to join the effort in figuring out the best way to answer these questions. We still may fail but we should at least try.) Vallée: "I think it's a meta-system. It's not a system. And that's my fear...if we can circle back to your earlier question about, you know, about NIDS and about BAASS, what we did for the government and what we did for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Half of the budget was spent developing, you know, a super database. And we don't know where it went. I mean, I'm not cleared to know where it went." (On the contractor (BAASS) side, Bigelow should have all copies of what AAWSAP produced. And on the DIA side, Lacatksi said he put all of the digital files in a specific place that he didn't name. As long as someone didn't delete it all, it should still be there. Vallée has said that the Capella database has about 250,000 cases from around the world.) Vallée: "But that would be a very interesting question, because the people who are getting [the database] are getting raw data, which we have very well organized, all in English. So they have the luxury of, you know, we had five translators from French, English, Portuguese, Russian, you know, everything was translated in a single structure across fourteen databases. "That's what we need to answer the question about the control system, and it's not being done. And we hired a whole team that we had trained to work on it. So to rebuild that will take the next ten or fifteen years. And nobody says that to Congress, and I think Congress should hear it, because it's our money." (As long as names and personal details are scrubbed from that database, there is no reason NOT to release it to the public. This way, we can take it and use AI to help decipher patterns and maybe answer some of these questions. Can Congress help us get access to that database?) Vallée: "When you ask, is it a control system? That's a big question." Peter Scafish Peter Skafish - "You asked, at one point, whether the system is open or closed, and you said, additionally, I believe, if it's open, that it would be possible to communicate back to it. And it sounds to me like that's the key question for you. Is, if you can understand what what the system of symbols is, or the modalities of communication, then you can understand enough to engage in some kind of communication, or at least give some kind of response to show that you understand." Vallée: "Yes." Scafish: "So then the question, and we have a member named Jacqueline, who has asked this. Could the system be stimulating us - provided there is such a system - to interact with it, more as subjects or agents than as something like animals or objects? Is it looking for us to try to interact with it as equals or with parity?" (When people report getting injured or sick from being in close proximity to UAP, it suggests to me that the phenomenon won't go out of its way to avoid affecting us in a negative manner if we get in their its/way (assuming it even knows that close encounters with UAP are not good for humans). Kind of like how we treat lower lifeforms. If we encounter a wild rabbit crossing the road, many of us will do our best to avoid it, but not if it means damaging our car or ourselves in an accident. It may ruin our day if we hit it, but it won't stop us from driving again in the future. Do NHI have bad days if their tech injures us or makes us sick? I have no clue.) Vallée: "Well, what I saw in the notes you gave me, is she was also asking: Is it a control system because we think it is? And that's a very interesting question. Because we react to the UFO phenomenon, or the UAP phenomenon. And, you know, at this point when I think about what I'm going to do next in this research, if I'm given the the opportunity to live a little longer, I'm not going to go back and write any more computer programs. There are better people to do that now, they have the data, and we're in a different phase now. We're in a whole different system. I have the luxury of doing some experiments I wanted to do for a long time." (Would have liked Scafish to ask him: What types of experiments?) Vallée: "So, if you think you are inside the control system, there are things that you can do. Or, if you think you're inside the simulation, you know, which was a new concept that I initially rejected, and then, you know, Ray's (Kurzweil?) work and others have brought it back to the forefront. And we have to ask that at the same time. Can we test it? How would you test it? Well, if, you know, I'm here in my apartment, and the temperature is constant in this apartment. But outside, I can see it's cold, or I can see the sun is out and it's warm, and how come it's constant here? So this would lead me to think that there is a control system, namely a thermostat, that is somewhere. "So I can start looking around the walls, and if I see dial, I can turn it, or I could start a fire and see what happens, see if the temperature changes. If the temperature doesn't change, then I know I'm inside a control system. So, we can do the same thing with UFOs, but we have to react. We have to, number one, acknowledge that it exists, and number two, we have to react to it."

(On the contractor (BAASS) side, Bigelow should have all copies of what AAWSAP produced. And on the DIA side, Lacatksi said he put all of the digital files in a specific place that he didn't name. As long as someone didn't delete it all, it should still be there. Vallée has said that the Capella database has about 250,000 cases from around the world.) Vallée: "But that would be a very interesting question, because the people who are getting [the database] are getting raw data, which we have very well organized, all in English. So they have the luxury of, you know, we had five translators from French, English, Portuguese, Russian, you know, everything was translated in a single structure across fourteen databases. "That's what we need to answer the question about the control system, and it's not being done. And we hired a whole team that we had trained to work on it. So to rebuild that will take the next ten or fifteen years. And nobody says that to Congress, and I think Congress should hear it, because it's our money." (As long as names and personal details are scrubbed from that database, there is no reason NOT to release it to the public. This way, we can take it and use AI to help decipher patterns and maybe answer some of these questions. Can Congress help us get access to that database?) Vallée: "When you ask, is it a control system? That's a big question." Peter Scafish Peter Skafish - "You asked, at one point, whether the system is open or closed, and you said, additionally, I believe, if it's open, that it would be possible to communicate back to it. And it sounds to me like that's the key question for you. Is, if you can understand what what the system of symbols is, or the modalities of communication, then you can understand enough to engage in some kind of communication, or at least give some kind of response to show that you understand." Vallée: "Yes." Scafish: "So then the question, and we have a member named Jacqueline, who has asked this. Could the system be stimulating us - provided there is such a system - to interact with it, more as subjects or agents than as something like animals or objects? Is it looking for us to try to interact with it as equals or with parity?" (When people report getting injured or sick from being in close proximity to UAP, it suggests to me that the phenomenon won't go out of its way to avoid affecting us in a negative manner if we get in their its/way (assuming it even knows that close encounters with UAP are not good for humans). Kind of like how we treat lower lifeforms. If we encounter a wild rabbit crossing the road, many of us will do our best to avoid it, but not if it means damaging our car or ourselves in an accident. It may ruin our day if we hit it, but it won't stop us from driving again in the future. Do NHI have bad days if their tech injures us or makes us sick? I have no clue.) Vallée: "Well, what I saw in the notes you gave me, is she was also asking: Is it a control system because we think it is? And that's a very interesting question. Because we react to the UFO phenomenon, or the UAP phenomenon. And, you know, at this point when I think about what I'm going to do next in this research, if I'm given the the opportunity to live a little longer, I'm not going to go back and write any more computer programs. There are better people to do that now, they have the data, and we're in a different phase now. We're in a whole different system. I have the luxury of doing some experiments I wanted to do for a long time." (Would have liked Scafish to ask him: What types of experiments?) Vallée: "So, if you think you are inside the control system, there are things that you can do. Or, if you think you're inside the simulation, you know, which was a new concept that I initially rejected, and then, you know, Ray's (Kurzweil?) work and others have brought it back to the forefront. And we have to ask that at the same time. Can we test it? How would you test it? Well, if, you know, I'm here in my apartment, and the temperature is constant in this apartment. But outside, I can see it's cold, or I can see the sun is out and it's warm, and how come it's constant here? So this would lead me to think that there is a control system, namely a thermostat, that is somewhere. "So I can start looking around the walls, and if I see dial, I can turn it, or I could start a fire and see what happens, see if the temperature changes. If the temperature doesn't change, then I know I'm inside a control system. So, we can do the same thing with UFOs, but we have to react. We have to, number one, acknowledge that it exists, and number two, we have to react to it."

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.”

I asked Eva Vlaardingerbroek how to incentivize native Europeans to have more children to combat foreign replacement Her answer was perfect... Eva Vlaardingerbroek: "We've been told if we do not bring in immigrants then our civilization will die because we need workers — It's a total fallacy." "They are bringing in immigrants who do not work and claim our welfare." "It has become impossible for my generation to by a house... mass immigration leads to less options for the native population and less social benefits." "Combine that with moral and social cultural decay... It is the most poisonous cocktail that you can think of and it causes people to have less children." Remigration is the solution.

as I'm sure many of you have come to realize - "waking up" is very different from "understanding" why things in the world and on TV seem to be happening at a pace and in a way that you cannot affect or do anything about - nor can you look or walk away, for very long. that's the place I needed to get to in order to understand that we really are watching a scripted movie, that in fact, the only thing we can do is know about it, wake people up to it and enjoy the show - and PRAY. this clip encapsulates where it's all headed and why.

If you have a son or daughter who's starting to think that socialism is the answer to our problems, I want you to try something and report back: Next time you talk, don't argue. Sit down, ask these questions, and just listen: - When you say "socialism," do you mean that you want the government to pay for a bigger safety net like in Denmark, or that the government owns the means of production? Because those are two very different countries. - You say the system is rigged. Who rigged it? And who should be handed the power to un-rig it? - Who sets the price of bread? If not a single person or corporation, what causes that price to remain steady or go up? - Can you name a country where the state took ownership of the means of production and the poor got richer? - When borders open or the walls fall down, anywhere in the world, which direction do people run? Towards the free market system or the socialist system? And before the boundaries fell, which way were the guns pointed? - Would you rather be poor today, or rich in 1900? By the way, only one of those has antibiotics. - If you and I make a voluntary trade, and we both walk away happy, who got hurt? - Someone has to decide what your work is worth. Would you rather it be you and the person paying you, or a bureaucrat with an army who has never met either of you? Try having this conversation with your kids this week. Don't argue. Only listen. And if you want, call into my radio show and tell me how it went.

Do too many young people lack an appetite/resilience for working? Why are so many 16 to 24-year-olds claiming they're too ill to work? Obviously the welfare system is full of perverse incentives - you can be better off on benefits than with a job. But it seems there are deeper problems eating away at generational resilience - eg, the medicalisation of everyday problems, or the fact that many young people have internalised the Lockdown lesson that health trumps jobs, school, economy etc...

In Korea, you can put your bag down and leave it or have all of your items for sale out in the open without worrying about them being stolen. But in America, you have to worry about a potential DeMarcus stealing your stuff constantly. Not only that, but activist judges don’t want to punish people because of “racism.” What makes Korea so great and safe is Koreans. It isn't hateful to say that some cultues are better than others

Bernie Sanders Just Explained Why Trump Won—and It Actually Makes Sense “When you talk about people losing faith in the American political system, it’s justified because you have a corrupt campaign finance system.” “He [Trump] was elected president, I think, because many, many millions of people are looking at the economic and political system in America and understand that it is not working for them.” He says that the system is rigged from both sides—that Democrats and Republicans controlled by billionaire donors and corporate interests. Continuing with the message, Sanders argued that the American people are right to feel frustrated because what we’re living under isn’t a real democracy. “People have a right to be angry.”
