I disagree, the real problem isn't the motivated immigrants, but the ones that come here to leech off of state entitlements. The left is creating this situation where they create all these entitlements to entice in floods of immigrants to leech off the system and change the vote demographics. If you solve the entitlement problems, than the immigration problems will solve themselves.

The motivated immigrants drive down our costs, add to our GDP, and send home capital to their families at home to start local businesses, which adds to the value of the US dollar, the leech immigrants do almost none of that.

Watch the video. The motivated ones are removed from their own country which could benefit ten-fold from whatever impact they might have in the USA. Importing only the more educated harms home nations even as well. Kind of like how Einstein was German, but ended up in the USA, helping with the nuclear bomb.

I understand his argument, but the truth is that a lot of these countries don't have economic liberties. A motivated person there will be mobbed by a thousand corrupt officials, where a motivated person here will be able to make money and grow. This mess with Biden, shows if anything, that often you can get much better results by leaving corrupt systems, than by working within them.

The argument is a lot more than what you are seeing. The key point you are missing is the impact that one person can have even within a corrupt system. Consider what the US did. It was a handful of motivated people who started the rebellion and the masses followed. Thousands of corrupt officials aren't competing against one person. They are competing against a chink in their armor. All it takes is one vulnerable area to show up to motivate the masses.

We can see this right now in the US. The vulnerable area is the weak governors and weak mayors which is leading to unabated riots, property destruction and theft. This doesn't take many people to get started but once it's started, many will follow.
