or else your economy stalls out.

So we don't have a choice of having lots of young people and you can either give birth to them or bring them in from immigration. But young people are like gold as humans go, as human beings go.

Mexico sent us their best. I think that's the truth. You know Trump is famous for saying they're not sending their best. That's the adults, right? Because the adults include cartel members and stuff like that. Now I disagree with Trump that they're not sending their best. I very much disagree with that. He's certainly true that their criminal elements are coming across the border but I think actually Mexico is sending their best in this one sense.

That the adults who are coming don't count the cartel members and the MS-13. But the adults who are coming to work are the boldest, healthiest. They're the ones who can make it. They're the risk takers, the entrepreneurs. We might accidentally be siphoning off Mexico's most valuable asset which is their best people. Now not best in terms of educational attainment but that's maybe one generation away.

So I'm just gonna ask the question. Is there an economist out there who's looked at the question specifically: if you were to take the children and they were the only migrants, would you come out ahead or behind? Now keep in mind that each of these migrants will go stay with somebody so they're not going to be homeless for the most part. They'll be taken care of by some kind of entity.

And we'll see. They're from Central America not Mexico for the most part. Yeah, I should add that. I should add that correction. There are more from Central America than Mexico. That is correct. Thank you for that. Thank you for that upgrade.

Who pays the schools for them? So here's where you need the economist. So certainly the children will create some costs. There'll be some extra health care costs. There'll be school costs. They'll be a burden in a number of ways. So the question is not that they present costs. It's obvious that they do. The question is will they create more benefit than they've added in costs?

And I would say you should be no different than our own children, right? We send our own children to school. It costs money. I'm paying for your children to go to school, right? Why is it fair that I'm paying for your children to go to school? So maybe you might pay for somebody else's children to go to school too. And as will I.

I just don't know if this is economic plus or minus. If you think you know the answer, I'll bet you don't. I bet you don't. Remember we don't know if masks work. I mean I think they do but the state of our data is just terrible that we're arguing about masks and social distancing and lockdowns in schools. We're arguing about vaccines now for of all things. We're arguing about everything.

So do you think that you know that migrant children are economically negative? Because I will take that bet without seeing what the economists say. Sight unseen I will take the bet that the children are almost always on average almost always positive economically. I don't know.

Now I do know that it's terrible for the South American or the Central American countries. Because Central American countries, I was watching, was it the leader of, I forget one of the Central American countries was saying that their product is exporting people. They don't have a functioning economy because if you're exporting your people that's your worst situation. So their best, brightest, healthiest, youngest people are all leaving. That's bad. That's really bad.

So how could it be true? I suppose it could be true. But you've got a situation where if it's bad for where they're leaving that they're leaving, isn't that because they have an economic value? That's the whole point, right? They have a future economic value that's quite substantial.

So I think we should make a big distinction between taking the Central American kids which might be like free money. It might be free money. It just doesn't feel like it. Taking adults, well they're going to start taking jobs and such, right? That's a different situation. And some of them are criminals and some of them are older, blah blah.

Now I suppose the chain migration is still an issue so I don't know how you calculate that because the young kids will eventually be able to do some chain migration of their relatives I guess. I think that's the way it is.

All right. My dog's snoring too loudly. And that's, somebody says legal only. Yeah so legal would be the first choice, right? But in effect the Biden administration has legalized unattended migrant children. So in effect it's legal. It's just not technically legal.

Somebody's saying that saucy says Trump people don't like educated people. I think that's kind of true. That's kind of true. I do think that Trump supporters don't trust experts and academics and elites and Harvard graduates etc. It's not a universal thing but I think there's something to that.

Okay. I saw an insensitive joke that I can't decide if it's racist. So I'm gonna recount it and then this will be your test case. Is the following joke funny and actually supports the migrants or is it making fun of the migrants and therefore is racist?

And here's the joke. And I won't tell you who said it because in case you think it's racist he
