content: K I think I figured out the question with the help of this guy's two videos. In a sense he's right. But I'll explain it further. What uneducated immigrants do is spend all their money as soon as they get it. What an aging populace does is hoard their money and amass wealth.  A real example is: My parents are pretty much the baby boomer generation. I was born very late so I'm a millennial. My dad left us about 800 k in savings. I don't spend that money in fact I try to make more money. I don't purchase things beyond fast food, I also don't really purchase entertainment. I look forward to making more money. I'm sure many others in similar situations are of similar thought. But for us to do this we need more money in the system to be circulated. Poor immigrants are the best at circulating their money. They don't know how to save, they can't spend their money wisely, and they are in debt in trying to make the "American Dream". Which is buying a house getting a mortgage, leasing a car, buying fancy things with credit cards. This is all debt. Where the guy's videos come into play to create "debt slaves".  The more money that is circulated, the more money that can be amassed by the super rich. I'm not sure what the super rich's goal is besides to try and stay in power as long as possible and die as rich as possible though. But the argument is we need idiots to earn and spend money to keep the economy moving so the rich get richer. Automation will slow the circulation of money. Crime is ok because it helps circulate money, what criminals will do in the chaos they create is create more jobs, and the stuff they steal will be sold for money, and the people who they stole it from will spend more money. I'm not pro-immigration I'm not rich enough for it to affect me at all. I hate crime so I'm anti-immigration, just look at my post history. But I explained a possible reason as to why people in power want immigration to happen. As for automation I think it'll take away jobs from the unskilled and ignorant, which are the immigrants. I believe the video is saying that as well. So it'll ruin the super rich's plan for immigration to happen.
