1
I guess in the free market example, you have 100 people, but there's no illegal immigration, but there's no minimum wage.
2
These people are naturally incentivized to get together and agree, you know, we won't accept any wage lower than this,
3
like collective bargaining, which is kind of like a socialist principle.
4
So I guess I'm just proposing if these...
5
Well, they can do that, but at the end of the day, the business owner will be able to decide, right?
6
It's true.
7
And if these people, then they're going to starve.
8
You know, you work or don't eat.
9
I guess that's fair, yeah.
10
I guess my argument here is that the capitalist system that we have, you know, with free markets inherently drifts towards this kind of cronyism
11
and I think part of this economic system enables
12
and in part requires the mass immigration that we see today
13
and I mean maybe it's it's weird to think about
14
but I'll give like a little economics example I guess imagine there's a thousand people at this university
15
and there's like 10 jobs on university
16
and everybody says I will no longer accept any what's it called any wage lower than $15 an hour all
17
So these people are thinking, okay, well, I'm not going to get paid $14 or $13.
18
But it's in these companies' interests, these businesses that work there,
19
simply to make the most money and to expand that they need people who will accept less wages.
20
So let's say, well, why don't we bring in a whole bunch of people from overseas?
21
Yes, I see the argument that you're making, and I don't mean to interrupt you, but it's rather long.
22
The point is not with immigrants.
23
The point is with minimum wage laws.
24
Because minimum wage laws are not free market.
25
You are telling an employer what amount they are able to pay an employee, right?
26
I'm not sure.
27
Do you know what the profit margin of the majority of small businesses in America is?
28
I assume it's pretty slim.
29
It's 1 % is the average, right?
30
So now let's say you're a business and you don't have a minimum wage
31
and you're paying two guys $10 an hour to go and work and sell sandwiches, whatever.
32
Now the government comes in and says, well, you have to pay these people $15 an hour.
33
What does that do?
34
You've got to fire a guy, right?
35
And so now you're paying, maybe one guy gets paid a little bit more, but now you have less of a worker.
36
It makes your business suffer, right?
37
The business owner should be the one in a free market to decide how much I pay this person.
38
And if someone comes in and says, well, that's not fair, then they can go to a different business, right?
39
Or achieve different skills to advance themselves to go and do a different thing themselves, right?
40
So it's not actually an immigration debate you're having on that.
41
It's a minimum wage law debate.
42
All right.
43
I understand where you're coming from.
44
And for the sake of the example, or my argument, let's say there was no minimum wage laws, there would still kind of be a societal,
45
say there's 100 people, you know, they all need this amount to survive, or they want this amount.
46
And I think immigration, see if there still is no minimum wage laws, let's say they're paying a guy like 10 bucks.
47
If you could still bring in a guy and pay him one bucks as a business owner, you totally would, right?
48
Right.
49
But you can do that with an American citizen, too, if you have no minimum wage law
50
because you could have before 1960 right this country was like 90 percent white
51
and pretty much everyone was legal everyone was actually a citizen of this country right
52
so how did we get these things done before
53
that right you know what i mean you know i'm saying
54
so it's like people were willing to do those jobs
55
and take less money and then build themselves up or
56
if it said oh i'm not getting paid enough here
57
or i don't like my boss i'll go find a different type of job
58
you know what i mean yeah no i agree with you saying um i guess i just have to touch like inflation.
59
I mean, you know, back in the 1950s, 1960s, a lot of people could afford a house,
60
a home, a college education with a lot less work than we do have nowadays.
61
And my argument is just the more people we have and the more people that move in,
62
the less your average person gets paid because there's so many people
63
that the value of like how much it pays one person goes down.
64
So I guess my value of labor does go down with more immigration.
65
So I guess my argument is
66
that our economic system needs the value of labor to go down to reduce input costs because we want cheaper stuff.
67
Everybody here, they want to consume goods, whether it be media or iPhones or food.
68
And in order for that, you know, you can do a lot of supply chain management.
69
By the end of the day, it really comes down to how low can we get the cost of labor?
70
And if you were to go completely libertarian with it and say, you know, completely free markets and all of this,
71
then having completely free markets with no regulations is the only way you can have illegal immigration.
72
Because if you don't have completely free markets and you have wage, minimum wage laws, you have regulations, you have anti -globalism, you have tariffs,
73
you have protectionism, all these different things, it will not induce business to actually thrive,
74
and people will get the shaft on that for the immigrants and for the citizens who are in that country.
75
Because then there's no reason for them to pay American citizens that wage.
76
If they know they can pay an illegal immigrant less, then why would they pay an American citizen more for the same job?
77
Exactly.
78
Right.
79
Which is what I'm saying, and that's part of the minimum wage.
80
So if you got rid of the minimum wage, then maybe some American comes and says,
81
well, I'll work on a farm for the same price that an illegal immigrant is doing it for now,
82
you know, and then build my way up.
83
You have that freedom.
84
But with minimum wage laws, you don't have that freedom.
85
Yeah, I have to agree with that.
86
But I still think that as business owners, your interest is you must make as much profit
87
or else someone else will make more profit you outcompete
88
you you lose right thank goodness that's how it should be um
89
and that's a that's a very dynamic system
90
and allows for a lot of the companies we have nowadays
91
which can really create a lot of you know gdp
92
and buildings and everything around us but i would argue
93
that it is in their inherent interest simply to make profit
94
that illegal immigration and immigration as a whole is desired so it's
95
In my view, at least, it's impossible to view immigration as an issue in itself
96
when you need to consider that these businesses really want that as well.
97
Right, but if they could choose to pay, if an American could choose to have themselves work for less, they would.
98
The problem is a minimum wage of why these people want to bring in illegals
99
because they're forced to pay an American citizen this much.
100
Whereas if they're an illegal alien, they can pay them whatever they want, right?
101
Right?
102
So of course.
103
But if you had people in a total free market and said, oh, we can pay this person whatever I want
104
and then I can choose to be paid whatever I want within the market, whatever this employer wants to pay me,
105
and people can shop around and say this job's good, this one's not, then the illegal immigration is,
106
you know, it's not nearly as worthwhile for businesses to want because they can just pay citizens.
107
I mean, paying people less, they'll have less money to spend.
108
That lowers the standard of living.
109
I guess this is kind of a weird shift to the argument.
110
I guess it's better phrased as like, if we even allow this as a thing to happen, even if it's just paying people less,
111
these companies still need to make money.
112
They're still going to lower input costs and the quality of your average person.
113
And we're putting quality in terms of material,
114
which I don't really think your life and your happiness is determined by how many things you can buy.
115
You know, money doesn't buy happiness.
116
I think it's a lot more meaningful than that.
117
But in our current society, you know, money and well -being is mostly just financial.
118
How much money do I have?
119
How much new things can I buy?
120
You know, all that sort of thing.
121
If you allow these businesses to, I guess, in the free market example, you have 100 people, but there's no illegal immigration,
122
but there's no minimum wage.
123
These people are naturally incentivized to get together and agree, you know, we won't accept any wage lower than this,
124
like collective bargaining, which is kind of like a socialist principle.
125
So I guess I'm just proposing.
126
Well, they can do that, but at the end of the day, the business owner will be able to decide, right?
127
It's true.
128
And if these people, then they're going to starve.
129
You know, you work or don't eat.
130
I guess that's fair, yeah.
131
That's how you've got to look at it, you know.
132
These are able -bodied people.
133
So, I guess how you put it...
134
I'll end it with this, just back and forth.
135
Because I know I've got other people in line.
136
I don't want everyone to get held up.
137
I guess I'll come back later.
138
But in order to solve the illegal immigration problem in an incentive purpose, you would have to lower the minimum,
139
or you'd have to remove minimum wages to allow for dynamic labor?
140
Yes.
141
that is definitely part of the problem yes i just personally worry
142
that this kind of decreases your average living
143
and i think it makes people on a i think people as a whole would come together
144
if they're getting paid
145
so little yeah i mean that's what unions are yeah you know people have the ability to make unions
146
and do those kind of things not that usually they do any good
147
but um that that is their freedom to be able to do right yeah
148
but like if a business was run by five of its own workers
149
and there was no real incentive to make a massive amount of profit
150
but more just i guess it doesn't work that way
151
because uh they need to make profit to have their job secured
152
but um like a business owned by its own workers would
153
never support importing people to replace them for lower wages
154
so they make more money so my argument is
155
that businesses themselves as they're currently structured any employee wouldn't want someone to come in
156
and take their job even if they don't own the means of production exactly
157
but an executive would because they can pay them less
158
so I'm just saying I'll end it here
159
because I mean right it's kind of like why you have to stop illegal immigration
160
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
