Thank you Simon Hankinson for your intelligent and common sense response to the questions. Very sad Dad Saves America is so ignorant about legal and illegal immigration, and all that is happening with illegal immigration.
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them. People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
Illegal immigration is essentially akin to slavery if you work a labor-intensive job that is low-paid and offers no benefits. With an endless pool of workers willing to take these jobs, it becomes a race to the bottom in terms of wages and conditions. Easier and higher levels of Legal immigration is the preferable path-I say this as a Latino who typically travels to the U.S. on a business visa.
Idk, I think we should import millions of 40 year old naive Italian guys that are aspiring to create a podcast. I think our country would be much better off if we imported millions of people to compete in this segment. I wouldn’t mind having more podcasts to choose from, surely they’d have better takes on immigration - the free market wins!
I agree! I'm in Canada and our government is supplementing newcomers salaries substantially and now Canadians are having a hard time getting jobs because newcomers getting free housing while our own sit on the street, preferred hiring status, free money and vehicle's. Those of us born here can't get doctor's or good schools. We're burdened by all the payouts, living in rags and skipping meals to barely exist paying for all this. It's hard to drag yourself up by the bootstraps and make a go of anything because of over regulation and high taxes on most everything.
Any country that's rich and safe is such because of the people that made it in the last 4 generations. If the demographics drastically change it becomes a different country and since most countries in the world are neither rich nor safe it usually only goes in one direction.
No. Immigration brings a worker ready to work, saving $1000000 cost of raising a child. We can handle 1% immigration. Our immigrants quickly learn English, unlike Muslims in France (French is very hard, English is easy, yes). Immigration is least of our problems, rising health care and pension costs till hurt far more but no one wants to yell about that. Immigration looks scary but is fine. I smile, it's so scary it's so effective a political issue. Your Guatemalan neighbor in California is a better man than your own kid and greedy grandpa, immigrants are not the problem... I'm serious, this is not a problem, 1% for America is fine, 3% for France is not fine... California and FL is 30% foreignors, Nebraska is 3%, and both are fine. There is zero evidence immigrants don't make city better.... But yes it looks scary... Gay men scare old people, really, looks are not reality.
I really like this gentleman. And he’s spot on about the concierge service to get people to the border. I am a legal Cuban immigrant but have heard every possible story about people trying to come into the US. And even know people that have gotten out through Nicaragua, to Mexico, to the border. They charge people thousands of dollars for this service. And families in the US gladly pay it, or people sell everything they have to make it happen for themselves.
Really good discussion and questions asked that well focus on the concept of an open border society and the apparent negative consequences to the degree/manner that concept exists now.
He's the most cucked and psy-op'd person I've ever seen. We spent 200 years exclusively built off of European immigration. I don't get how our populace has been psy-op'd into thinking America was built by Central Americans, Asians and Middle Eastern immigrants - They literally didn't live here in any meaningful numbers until 1965 when the Hart Cellar act was passed. I don't get how people have been brainwashed into thinking there is no such thing as American culture. The rest of the world recognizes there is American culture, but Americans themselves are wholly incapable of doing so. Culture is shared history, annual events, food and common values. To say that America doesn't have any of that is incredibly insulting. America isn't a theme park for the rest of the world to loot.
I thought he was playing devil's advocate during the interview, but after watching the entire thing, he seems quite naive. People need to travel more; for instance, look at how Venezuelan migration has impacted Colombia, Peru, and Chile.
Yes...yes ...yes ......when immigrants came before 1900s it was on them to succeed. There was no support system that the current residence pay for to support the new comers. Schools are a good example.
There way some support offered by the different groups of nationalities. But it was minimal and simply because they didn’t have very much financial resources. It was usually passing on knowledge and maybe getting them an initial placement till they got a job. But there was no support from the government. The government was actually restricted people with illnesses.
You and I have something in common. My grandfather also came from Sicily at an early age and stayed with an uncle. I don't know how old he was but we know he was less than 14 years old. BTW He came from Messina.

On the question of mass migration to Europe. 1. The European countries are populated with majority indigenous people. The European Enlightenment has inculcated an open pragmatic reticence towards imposing indigenous European culture onto new arrivals. Unlike the USA which has actively imposed its home spun ideology onto its migrants. 2. Most European countries have a legacy of being a colonial power. This means large numbers of homogenous groups migrate to European countries from limited places of origin. This tends to create migrant colonies within the host country. 3. Each European country is about the size of a US state. 4. Europeans have a far more generous welfare system than Anerica's. These are four extremely important reasons why immigrants to the US behave quite differently to immigrants to Europe.
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional.
Now, I Just realized that the secret to making a million is saving for better trades. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money trading.. I Traded with 10k in Crypto and made about $146k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
You just mentioned Expert Mary, Indeed, wow that woman has been an incredible mentor to me, imparting a deep understanding of the economy that I wish college had provided.
But....why don't we address the reason they are leaving their countries? Why don't we and the world make a plan to help these countries so that people want to stay and flourish there?
I appreciate this concern, and share it... but that's a bad idea. Intervening into other countries works EVEN WORSE than our government's "plans" for us. We lack the local knowledge, the skin in the game, or the incentives to have these plans do much more than empower corrupt leaders. The history of foreign aid is a history of disaster. I strongly recommend two important books on this front: The Tyranny of Experts by Bill Easterly, and The Idealist by Nina Munk. I optioned the latter to make into a film and commissioned a script. The script never was good enough to proceed, but the book is incredible.
People make countries. People that blame government where they come from often continue blaming government where they arrive and if they get into councils and governments recreate same conditions they left. If they come from slums them recreate slum conditions too. Once you see it you can't unsee it.
So I really think if we opened the border legally (while trying to keep out bad actors), that that would be a good thing. BUT! I am completly in agreement that the welfare needs to stop (that's easy for me to say, since I don't love most of the welfare for citizen either 😅). I feel the current situation really does incentivize people in all the wrong ways. Even if people aren't taking advantage of the welfare-- I don't want it to be an option and a draw.
*I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls! I lost so much money on stook market but now making around $18k to $21k every week trading different stocks and cryptos*
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires

You are so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few small luxuries relatives to one's total assets ratio.
Excellent interview. A big thank you to Simon Hankinson for sharing his wisdom.

Hi Dad 🕊🙏🏻🕊
This will be great
America is on the way to be saved ♥️🇺🇸♥️
Any country that's rich and safe is such because of the people that made it in the last 4 generations. If the demographics drastically change it becomes a different country and since most countries in the world are neither rich nor safe it usually only goes in one direction.
Well said!

“Why would it be bad to have 500 million migrants arrive?”
You serious bro?
So ironic the dad of "Dad Saves AMERICA" seems to believe that all America is is an overglorified economic zone.
Really good discussion and questions asked that well focus on the concept of an open border society and the apparent negative consequences to the degree/manner that concept exists now.
The host (Dad) shows an astounding level of naivety on the topic of immigration. Dad Saves America? Hardly.
He's the most cucked and psy-op'd person I've ever seen. We spent 200 years exclusively built off of European immigration.

He stealmans the worst positions so that the guest can expose them.

Wrong, only most Western European countries have a history as colonial powers. Quit dragging the rest through the mud.
Fantastic interview! Thankyou
Maybe a 'club' member?
