America's long, fractured history of immigration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This past Thursday, what was effectively the immigration law of the land throughout the pandemic expired, creating greater uncertainty along the U.S. border with Mexico. Correspondent Lee Cowan talks with experts about America's historical acceptance (or non-acceptance) of refugees, and how new immigration laws are needed to meet the challenges of today.

We spend billions on defense and on other countries' bellicose conflicts instead of investing in building up the quality of life on third world nations so that they will stay where they belong. Improving THEIR way of life would improve ours. Not only would it address the immigration issue but it would promote trading with the US as their economies improve.
That's why the Chinese are going to end up in a better position than yhe U.S. because they understand this and they do this. The U.S. wages wars and takes from people then gets mad when the people want to flee the chaos they created, but the Chinese are in Latin America and Africa doing the opposite, they are building the countries on those places up and giving the people reasons to stay and not flee.
You are right. We as a country are responsible for the situations in many central and south American countries. Supporting tyrants in our fight against communism or socialism.
We have destroyed northern Mexico's farming due to our overuse of the rivers that once flowed freely into Mexico. Watering lawns and golf courses.
The governments of those crap hole countries steal every dime we send them
We already do. According to Forbes, we give $43B/yr through USAid, UN, World Bank, IMF, etc. We are the largest donor in all of the above but we don't have control over their corrupt governments and violent gangs.
The third world people flooding our border today have significantly lower intelligence, and they will destroy the country
America had a near perfect Immigration policy with Ellis Island.. I remember there were 12 articles by which Immigrants had to comply in order to be considered for Citizenship..All 12 of these articles made the system work smoothly and fairly for everyone involved especially the United States which after all is how it should be..What we have today is God forbid something most people can't even get their heads around it is so complicated and undisciplined..I can't help but think of those who have filled out and turned in their paperwork and are just waiting to hear whether they will be invited to become American Citizens or not..What a disgusting way to treat those who I believe would make fine Citizens compared to those who feel they have the right to bombard the system so disrespectfully..
Hello buddy how is doing today and we be friends
@Dan Butler, absolutely right. We, as a nation, had this down a century ago! This is just a made-up problem.
Everyone needs to take this issue seriously, regardless of party. We can’t help the entire world
THANK YOU‼️
The problem is, we're really not even trying to help ANYONE!
@@mikedixon4598 What if we can change all that for good?
The United States cannot take care of everyone. We have a duty to our own citizens first and anyone seeking to come here needs to do it legally and orderly. You cannot get away with rushing the border and hope for a good outcome. Respect our laws, file your petitions and wait your turn. Better yet, demand better from your own country and fix what is broken there. Meanwhile, we need to do the same here.
Should have told that to the hundreds of thousands that came thru Ellis Island in the past. They didn't demand better on their countries, England, Germany, Norway, Italy, Ireland, etc and didn't care to fix what was broken. Just because these immigrants are brown and black disqualify them to enter the US just as all the ones before have entered. Racists against them, have always been here.
The US doesn't take care of their own. Most of the atrocities caused by us....the superpower.
And the citizens are immigrants. Unless you are Native American, your family immigrated here too, regardless of how they got here. Good bad or ugly
@@susannpatton2893 You clearly don’t understand the concept of nationality and the laws governing it. I didn’t create it but I observe it in my own country, as well as in others when I travel. The basic concept of respecting the laws, customs and cultures of nations you wish to travel to, or be a part of, cannot be negated without reprisal. I have no problem with those who seek to come to my country, or any other, but I do demand that they respect the laws and processes and don’t simply take what is not there’s to take. That’s learned in Kindergarten!
@@colleenmonfross4283 Ha! Our elites take what isn't their's on the regular.
What? Asylum should be for those who are fleeing a war country. Like Ukraine, Haiti. Not for being scared off by gangs. We have gangs in the United States as well. So, is he going to go back if American gangsters go after him?
Just what, exactly, does an average American do about getting our ‘legal’ immigration system working at the high standard it should be at?
Has anyone else noticed that there are job openings everywhere? Does anyone consider that we’ve collectively lost over a million people to Covid in a very short time frame? If we don’t get the work visas and asylum seekers on a path to being here, how many small businesses, farms, and even towns will die off?
Undocumented immigrants are very vulnerable to being exploited and abused. Here and on the other side of our borders.
What happens as the environment becomes unable to sustain life? Where will we all go?
There has to be a better way.
You are the 1st to offer any type of viable solution. We are a nation of immigrants- founded by immigrants. Unless you are a native American person, your family immigrated here, period.
No matter how you got here, good, bad or ugly.
Why can't they fix their own problems internally instead of wanting to go to the USA? They also get angered then if the USA intervenes and tries to help them in their own country! When you realize that there is nothing you can possibly do to please them, then the answer is to just keep them out and tell them that the US is full and that it should not be our problem to take care of them.
Maybe you should ask that question of where the problem started. You can thank USA for the stabilizing South America during the 1980s because we were so in fear of communism.
Yes, why didn't Ireland fed all their people instead of going to the US? Why didn't England tolerated all the new religions being created and stopped the English to come to this contintent? Why didn't Europe stopped the Nazis before all of them came over here? Why didn't Italy fed and took care of all the bad hombres that came here? They should have told them that the US is full and leave them to their fate. But these ones are different, this ones are brown and black, and that makes all the difference to a bunch of racists living in the US right now.
@@jordancarsonwrong it is their own fault
Over a century of US crimes in South and Central America since the Roosevelt Corollary.
@@corruptsociety9146 go learn something.
Just fyi: A lot of them have money. I'm at the border on the Mexican side and they are ordering take out from our restaurants here with their fancy iPhones and leaving to the U.S. in Ubers. And they have told me that they won't stop until they get to either the U.S. or Canada.
Canada is better
Agree..majority of the scenes they show you cell's phones in action.
Etc. They need to learn the system legally...we can't provide for the whole world.
@@49gagah I used to do volunteer work for the migrants- but after some time I had to stop. Too overwhelming. And Obrador has my southern border here completely open. He doesn't care. So I got physically and mentally tired of having to see so many people "in need.." I know you all blame Biden- but this is a Latin American problem. Obrador's sons, (for example,) have million dollar mansions in Texas. He's the same difference here.
I think one thing people forget is that most of Central and Latin America has become Socialist or follow that ideology to a degree. You offer your people everything to get in power and eventually it all falls apart. Then what else do these citizens do but head on up to America. A friend of mine who works in Apple’s Fifth Avenue in NYC said the other day this Venezuelan was buying new IPhones and happy to being well treated and being housed for free. Last thing for those reading this long comment look up Gloria Alvarez and her interview with John Stossel. America it’s only gonna get worse unless people wake up!
@@edyann
No this is an open border, ignore all laws, leftist trying to destroy our country problem.
85,000 children are missing.
Funny how cbs doesn't mention that HUGE ELEPHANT In the room isn't it.
Nor will they
We should tighten the border NOW.
It really hurts me that the country that we fought to make, it's going to chaos.
It’s the lefts lax police policies
Thanks to Biden
@@RealMTBAddict Pay attention to the story, learn some American history and know what you're talking about before you blame any one person.
@@blackmoom
You are right.
biden is a stooge,
the intire left and some of the right is behind the treason.
And the media you are watching right now covers the truth and lies for them and pushes their agenda in every way they can.
They all need to be charged with treason.
It's just changing. Like it should.
Very touching to include the " give us your huddled masses " bit on the statue of liberty .
Ive never read it but I dont think it includes drug cartels, murderers and criminals of every sort.
And of course it came from the French.
It don’t include maggot reps either.
😂, England and other countries would banish their criminals to the America's or Australia- look that up if you don't believe me. Lots of places founded and ran by those very same people
@@beachgirl6565
Oh I see we have a pos drug cartel suporter, bich girl.
Agree 100 percent, not to mention the millions who were sent back if they didn't pass the health tests on the ships dime. They don't talk about the insurance taken out on each passenger in case there was a problem. Lots of folks were on Ellis and never made it to mainland.
Thank ypu for sharing.
You would be able to afford a house if there wasn't 45 million first generation migrants in this country.
We are full! We already have our AMERICAN tax paying people that are in distress!! Hungry, homeless, need dentists/medical. Wtf
Addressing their needs in their own countries is the SOLUTION. We have the resources!
Yes, it begins with the US fixing what they did to create the crisis. Lifting sanctions for one, dealing with the gangsters the US funded through the Iran Contra deal so they stop terrorizing the citizens, fixing the environmental disasters they created because watering golf courses in desserts was more important than peoples lives that were depending on the water downstream, etc. You pay one way or another. Clean up the mess you created in their front yards and then you won't have them migrating to your front yard. Simple.
We’re $32T in debt
@@bedminstereric
And letting all those immigrants in puts even more stress on our economy. Improving their situation at home would help us both. As their economies develop they would be able to afford our products.

Our local news reported that bilingual newcomers can get free supervisor/management training in food service and construction trades. Their valuable skills communicating with all empoyees will significantly contribute to productivity. Starting range , I think they said 19 to 23 dollars an hour.
Difficult subject
America has the right and duty to vet every person seeking to live here. I’m all for immigration, but it has to be organized and immigration rules adhered to. I don’t care if it takes several years for the process to legally enter the US, if coming to the US means that much to the individual then the wait should be worth it.
I have absolutely nothing against immigration and believe we should be able to move around in this world, with that said I never understood the logic of packing up and leaving an entire country for another just because you were harassed or threatened in one neighborhood or town or city. Was there nowhere else you could have moved to in your country? What happens if and when something bad happens to you here in America and the cops don’t do much about it? Are you going to pack up and leave for the next country?? 😂😂
Be glad you haven't had to endure some of the things they speak of leaving. Any mother that has children living in impossible circumstances, that loves her child, wants to have them live in best circumstances possible. Drug cartels, gangs, lack of education and possibilities. I would do exactly the same thing.
@@susannpatton2893 The issue is everything these ppl say they’re running away from can and has happened here in the US, now granted we do have a better police and government system but we have kidnappings, major drug crimes, random mass shootings daily, extortion, horrible educational systems in lots of cities across America. All I’m saying is if someone harass or threatens me I’ll find a better place within my country to move to not risk my life and the life of my children on a horrific journey
@@jaklinhyde And that's you. You can only speak for yourself then
@@jaklinhyde that may not be an option for them.
@@susannpatton2893 naw they didn’t consider other options other than coming to the US
Those family members put all own children’s in danger ⛔️
🤔 I'm finding it hard to have sympathy for a young man like Henry Rivas Sibrian who have been here 6-7 years (plus probably a few years of prep before that when he planned to migrate to the US) but still barely speaks English now. It doesn't say enough "effort" to try to assimilate into America and sends the message that, because he's here, America is expected to make accomodations for him and others like him instead of the other way around.
You said it 💯👏
Do you know Spanish? This is not a one language country. Deal with it.
@@judgerock3419 : 🙄 There are loads of people who don't speak English in the U.S. They're either too old to learn a new language or just arrived from another country. This guy is neither. Also, I'm not sure being gay is a valid reason for asylum? He's like "you hear these stories about America [and when you get here, it's not like that at all.] Realistically, if he's being openly gay in a small Midwestern town, he'd probably get beaten up too even if he's in America. So if you get beaten up in 1 town, you move to another city, you don't move to another country but don't even bother to learn their language. Tell me, when Americans travel to Europe or S.America, are we seen as obnoxious if we don't bother to learn the local languages and just assume everyone there should know English?
Respect the law. People are at the border escaping countries for the very reason that those countries have no pretense about the rule of law.
To a certain degree we need a population influx that are willing to start at the bottom of the economic ladder and do the jobs that natural born citizens will literally become homeless before doing. Like a cleaner at a motel, or a night cook, or other back breaking low pay jobs.
Remember. Our wealth as a nation comes from our GDP. And human labor is a large percentage of GDP.
Even if there was 1 or 2 or 3 million hotels or restaurant or farms in US, how many “undocumented” is enough? 4 million ? 5 million ? My point is that there has to be a limit. This country cannot support the world even as big as this country is. At some point it all collapses.
it's as if all the media outlets are singing from the same hymnal. what a coincidence.
Native Americans have been having an immigration problem since 1492.
Ancestors fought valiantly to keep immigrants OUT!
Most predictable and stupid comment on this whole string. Congrats!
I understood why,but the rules are made in congress. And congress has failed. And I'm part of the immigrants. Why do I say this? I graduated in criminal justice with a minor in constitutional law
America was over populated in 1970.
A Salvadorian gay man has a trans woman lawyer.
Does anyone recall the Cubans who came into our country during the Carter Administration?
Wtf was this
Most Americans wellcome them as abundant labours will be available.
Seems to me that more people documented (and taxed) would do a lot to shore up Social Security and Medicare.
We are all immigrants. Unless you are Native American, your family immigrated here no matter how you got here, good bad or ugly
American citizens need to support all efforts to maintain a healthy, vibrant immigration system because without regulated rules of conduct which everyone follows it will be hard to institute any new policy. Civil disobedience has its limits and American citizens need to support our own country's sovereign territory first and foremost. Thanks 😊👍🇺🇸❤️
That lawyer is gorgeous!!!
It's absolutely disgusting that we are treating these people like this. 99% of them want asylum. To only work and have a safer place to live. Where their daughters aren't raped, and their sons aren't forced to move drugs. We have work to do in our nation. We need people who want to work. Our workers resent working. Immigrants appreciate their jobs.
More like " the long fractured history of journalists"
We are damned if we help and we are damned if we don’t. It’s a zero sum game.
big guerillas eat hot dogs not cold pizza.
It's horrific ... this is JUST the beginning ... wait till thru ripples thru and these people are shoved into communities. So exactly what crisis are these people fleeing from??
They get FREE everything!
Seems people in the comments can run the country better than biden😢
No more Julio's.
Henry can stay because he's cute! 😅( Yes, I'm shallow 😭 and yes I'm kidding! 😂🥴😜🤫)
philipines indai and africiai our brithrate is too low!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! china japn needs immgiants too from philipines india africa.
Story is about asylum not immigration
@orange nite how about making the rich pay their taxes?! That’s a good start!
America's front door is open. Do you lock your front door?
Here comes another segment of CBS' "America isn't perfect :( " lament
It's not perfect. Never has been.
Loving someone for only their best parts is not love. The flaws and struggles make me more patriotic.
No country is perfect because countries are governed by imperfect beings (humans). That’s why citizens must always strive to improve their country and learn from mistakes and experiences of other countries
No country is. Utopia doesn't exist.
OhLook: bLaHblAhBlAh!

Refugees from the conflicts caused by United States ironically
Seems Democrats welcome immigrants into someone else's neighborhood.
Like well-known Democrat Ron DeMeatball, who trafficked people from Texas to Massachusetts?
I believe that any immigrant family that has a son or a daughter who has served three years or more in the US military and is eligible for an honorable discharge should go to the head of the line and be granted legal status for themselves, their parents and their family in America
