SECTION 12
THE MARXIST TRUTH ABOUT WHY IMMIGRANTS
ARE A GIFT TO THE UNITED STATES
Version 1 ... February 2025

just said with to you is original to me not at all so all I can tell you is with this
level of contradiction at the basis of what is being proposed here you're
looking at a really strange phenomena unfolding

The Marxist Truth About Why Immigrants Are a Gift to the United States

1:34:24
now let me show you from another from a marxian economics perspective another remarkable thing
which also touches American history and which I'm really interested in conveying
to your audience a working AG
immigrant which is what most of the undocumented immigrants in the United
States today are is a gift to the United states it is
a subsidy to the United States it is very weird to be ejecting this

1:35:04
gift it it really is like a neighbor bringing you a lovely apple pie and and
while they're there you're saying oh thank you and then you throw it in garbage I mean whoa that's bizarre what are you doing
right why do I say that well
take a 20-year-old Guatemalan young woman comes across the
border an enormous amount of money has been spent on that 20-year-old young
woman before she crosses the Border in Texas and enters the United States as an
undocumented immigrant she has had to be fed fed for
20 years that cost money money she's had to be clothed for 20 years what cost
money she's had to be sheltered she had to be educated to a certain amount whatever they have where she comes from

1:36:05
those are enormous expenses every society has such
expenses for the citizens before they reach working age think of it this way
when they work they they produce they create value
until they work they absorb it that's what we do for our
children Guatemala picked up the cost the United States had no cost we
didn't feed them we didn't raise them nothing the Guatemalans did that for
free from the American point of view not from them they had a real expenditure
they had to produce the food clothing and shelter that they gave to their children we didn't as a we get them only
when they're ready to work now in it marks in theory when they work let's assume they're paid $10 an

1:37:05
hour maybe I should assume $725 because that's the minimum wage in
this country the federal minimum wage they get paid
$725 per hour it's clear and easy to show that
for most of them in an hour they produce by their labor either a greater quantity
or a better quality of an output whatever they're hired to do you know fold laundry wash your car uh
whatever which means now I'm using the marxian system they produce a surplus
mhm no one is going to hire them for $725 unless doing so makes the employer
more than $7 that's the rationale Marx worked this out so I have
to give him credit otherwise I would be acting as though I had figured this out which I didn't um so the

1:38:09
Immigrant brings to the United States a Costless
worker who immediately goes to work how else are they going to survive producing
a surplus for the employer who hires him a better Surplus proportionally than
he could get from a native born worker which is why he hired him
okay this is an enormous gain to the United States
economy not a loss a gain dwarfs all the rest of the
BS right does he does this work get drunk sometime absolutely do they
occasionally commit a crime of course FBI tells us they commit crimes less

1:39:02
than native born which I'm not surprised because they're undocumented and they can't risk it so this is a
subsidy the uni here comes the history the United States's greatness as a
capitalist system over the last century was dependent upon its ability
to absorb wave after wave of the subsidy
to this economy represented by immigrants deporting them is a sign of
weakness deporting them means you can't get the
subsidy it's the equivalent of having high-tech get billions of subsidy from
Washington and saying oh no thanks don't want it woo never going to happen no
company would be so stupid and we're not stupid to what's going we can't we can't

1:40:07
do anymore what we once did what we once did was to say to the Immigrant come
here yeah we'll give you the crappiest jobs yeah we'll stick you in the ghetto
slum neighborhoods yeah yeah yeah yeah but but
but within a reasonable amount of time 2 years 5 years 10 years we'll be bringing
in another wave and they will be slipped in under you and you will be able to
rise the crappiest jobs will now be given to them the new immigrants you
will be able to go to the next level a nicer neighborhood a better school better apartment and all and not only
that we'll make a mythology about it it'll be called American

1:41:02
exceptionalism and it will focus on the remarkable social Mobility that can be
achieved Horatio aler from poor immigrants you will write all of that
theater we can't do it anymore we can't we're going to have to
persuade Americans native born to live in the
crappy housing to accept the crappy job no more Horatio aler
mythology as so and you know what that's about that's the weakness of American
capitalism that's the end of the Empire and the profits it made it's the because
the dollar isn't the universal currency anymore it has to share that role with
with the the Japanese Yen or the Chinese Yuan or the European Euro it it's

1:42:00
over the Empire is finished but we can't say it we can't
face it we can't talk about it as a nation the president is acting like he's
going to tell on taking green Greenland and I'm changing the name of the Gulf of
me what What Child is theater visit and so go back to the beginning of our
conversation that's why all this is irrelevant because it's so detached from
what is actually at stake here it is so full of the blust I'm going to C this
we Europeans ask me why to focus on the Tariff and I say to them you know I want
to do the whole analysis I don't usually have the time you give me the time for which I am grateful but
the short answer to the Europeans is when he was the president the first time everything he tried to do was blocked in

1:43:01
you know by the Democrats or by lawsuits or by this or one of the few things he
could just do is a tarff because Congress some years ago passed a law
giving the president this odd power to use this tool unilateral he doesn't have to get
anybody's permission he can just do it right so he realized that so the answer
to why he's using tariffs is because he can not because it's the right tool not
because it's the best tool it's because he he can be Mr Trump throwing
Thunderbolts like Zeus you know in in mythology so that's why we have we're
all talking about tffs we as a culture we don't know anything about it the
thing people are saying if I were a nastier person I would have a field day
just mocking the officials who keep talking about ter starting with Mr Trump

1:44:04
because it's all the behavior of someone the speech of someone who doesn't know
what they're talking it's not even I don't blame him he he doesn't know anything he shouldn't speak about what
you don't know because it's going to it's going to come back and haunt you and it will it will you know the
Canadians are now going to have to react and the Mexicans react and I haven't
even gone into that with you Mexico let's do that just one more Mexico we

Why Trump’s Policies Will Increase Illegal Mexican Immigration and Drug Trafficking

1:44:36
are going to deport mostly the Mexico Latino undocumented immigrants which is
the largest group and most of those will go to Mexico
okay let's do the simple economics those people had jobs here in the United
States and one of the things they did with their wages low as they are was to send the portion back to their families
