Actually, the $2 figure is based off of purxhasing power parity so costs are equalised (as much as they can be). Sexond thing is, world remittances by immigrants to their home countries have been increasing significantly in terms of occurances and amounts. Lastly, this video is skewed. I haven't looked up this guy's background but it seems like his agendea is partial if not out right xenopohbic. Immigration is one of many ways to increase global wealth and to write it off completely like he does is retarded. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just in case you guys are wondering about the validity of his argument (as a whole): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Beck Quote: |
Beck has also served as the spokesperson of the Coalition for the Future American Worker and authored the book The Case Against Immigration (ISBN 0393039153).

His speech is very much politically driven; which renders his point invalid in my opinion.
