To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work.

The good thing about that is that the first thing that is going to happen in our next couple of weeks is the process of getting oil from our factory in China with a couple whilst doing the same treatment as your insurance policymakers. The reason for this is that the order has not been processed yet.

@Colin i want only the migrants that already has or are willing to change their culture and beliefs to the country who they are migrating to. this applies to all countries obviously, that includes first world countries to first world countries, third world countries to first world countries or first world countries to third world countries. i also want educated people, so at least a college degree. i would also charge them a high fee (about 50000usd), so that only the rich migrate to my country.
btw, a lot people likes to think that i am a white supremacist, but i am not, i am east asian, i just like my country to have higher a level of homogeneity, which creates a more dynamic world where each country is a bit different

My great-grandparents immigrated to Texas from Mexico, legally. They came here and embraced America, raised their children to be responsible citizens, and they built a good life here. They appreciated being here, made this their home, and never insisted that they were entitled to be here, that they had some historical right.
The “immigrants” who come here now behave as though they are entitled, they break our laws coming here illegally, they bring drugs and violence, they neglect their children who then become delinquents and criminals, they overwhelm our government services, take what they didn’t contribute to building, and do all of this as though they’re entitled to.
They wave their flags and shout “La Raza!”, which means “The Race!” and don’t let these leftist liars pretend that it means something else, it’s a slogan that means exactly what it says. It means tribalism, it means taking from those who aren’t them, it means that they believe they are entitled and do not care about assimilating, it means they are here to take what they want from you.
Of course, this isn’t everyone from south of the border, I’m Mexican myself, but it isn’t a small percentage. They are millions, they hate you, they want what you have and are willing to take it from you in any way they can.
These leftist, champagne-socialists don’t have to worry about this, not in their neighborhoods, it’s not their kid’s schools being overrun by violence and having their classrooms being overcrowded and resources diverted to teaching children who neither speak the common language here nor are willing to learn. No, they can stand on stage and preach to you about how unfair some made up, emotionally charged anecdote is and how it’s your fault for not putting them before you. They’ll stand there and lie right to your face about how this fairy tale is representative of the millions who invade our country and show no respect and even hatred toward us, which is evident in the many thousands of your children who are killed in the streets, fed the drugs they bring, sexually abused and trafficked because of their vile culture of permissive abusive behavior by men towards women and girls. No, they just want the power that the new votes will bring them, and they don’t mind paying for it with the future of your children, the destruction of your cities, and your spilled blood, they and theirs will be fine. Anyone who cares about their children and their country needs to vote these traitors out in November, it’s either them or you.

I am South African. Need to literally flee my country for the safety of my children. There is no future. There is death and unthinkable violence everyday. Electricity supply is scheduled, so so sometimes you have it or you don’t. My kids 17 & 16 have never been in trouble. We have no safe haven. Now the dream of Texas looks even less possible. I have been the victim of violent crimes 4 times already. My kids have never had the privilege to take a SAFE bus or train ride. Now “getting out” is even less of a possibility.

My great-grandparents immigrated here to Texas, from Mexico, legally. I can certainly sympathize with people who want to immigrate here, it’s wonderful. But the problem isn’t that we don’t want immigrants, the problem is that we have people coming here without going through the proper channels, and so many of them are violent criminals, or are simply coming to make money, exploit the system, and are not refugees at all.
And yes, the people who want to follow the rules and really do need to flee oppressive systems and violence suffer because of the bad ones.
The only way we can fix the problem and bring the right people here and in the right way is to strengthen our borders and stop buying the nonsense that people like the man in this video keeps pushing.
I do hope you make it here, I promise you that Texans don’t hate immigrants. In fact, we’ve benefitted a great deal from one South African immigrant in particular. We’d certainly welcome more. Good luck.

We have laws for a reason. If I suggested that anyone here leave their yard and house open to everyone who wanted to go in, you would think I was insane. Our country’s border is no different. There are legal processes in place to come to America, if you try to come here outside those processes you are doing it illegally… you might be harmless, you might not, but there is no way to know when you sneak in.

Very difficult to find any instances of paradigm change or similar. Straight down the scientific line without any divergence from the norm. One cannot expect to have advancement under these conditions. That is my argument; not out of naiivety but from philosophy.
If the TED lectures encompass these variations, then they are rare.
I cite the banned talks of Graham Hancock, Rupert Sheldrake and Nick Hanauer if you feel like looking them up.
Adriana M.

Always this simplification. Always portraying all immigrant like angels seeking refuge. Could there sometimes be a more nuanced approach. There are far to many fortune seekers trying to illegally enter other countries to leech off benefits, far to many criminals, far to many religious extremists in rank of migrants. I wish one day we could have an open debate about the benefits but also the many negatives with migration.

First of all, American are aware of the food shortage. There are so many pieces of the pie, while you can say we can grow more food, 11 million slices three times a day is a huge chunk, which raises the question, do we have the farms to do it? Second, this isn’t about the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect, it is about food, houses, jobs, land, monetary resources, taxes, and…you get the picture, plus 11 million makes a good size army. How much can America, Americans afford? If I let even one into my home, it more than strains my resources, it’s the same as a nation. What about citizen’s American dream. Yes, we need to do something. I suggest we teach them agriculture, how to build homes, fight back against their political system. We did it during the civil war, and so can they. Honor comes from fighting against oppression. inviting them in only makes them weak (male them believe that they can’t do it). If I were you, I’d look at both side of the picture before giving another talk. I don’t agree with you Mr. Noorani. Americans are angry because they know this. it makes us nervous. At some point I have to stop letting my family use my resources, my food, my home or we;d all starve as a family.
Akash Goel
August 22, 2022 at 4:36 pm
Excuse me, but thats a very narrow understanding of the world that we live in. Its absolutely a myth that America is having a shortage of food/water/housing etc. America is nowhere nearly as populated as the rest of the world (Europe, Asia and Africa). The land is fertile and the average worker productivity is the highest in the world. Not only is America self-sufficient in food, it is in fact one of the largest exporters of food grains in the world (behind Ukraine and Canada). America has the strongest military and can defend itself against any external threat. It has one of the strongest legal enforcement systems in the modern world. Average person consumes more than 1.5x of their daily caloric intake requirement. There is ample supply of water from fresh water lakes and rivers (some of them need to be tapped more to provide a much better supply though).
You know what America is actually short on? People. Its people who build new houses, work on developing new water pipelines, participate in the army and the police as well as provide the hope that we like to call future. And you cannot do all that if wages are high and there’s an energy crisis going on (which makes everything more expensive naturally). Get more people, stabilize wages and invest in the nation’s infrastructure, otherwise it won’t take more than a few odd decades for other high-growth nations to leave America behind.

Human dignity is not more important that ensuring that we have a properly functioning legal system. When we let people ignore our laws, any laws at all, then we are doing nothing more than providing them undeserved dignity at our own expense. So, this whole “dignity” argument is just another smokescreen to argue that we should let anyone and everyone flood the country. After all, they’re all fleeing something unpleasant, aren’t they?
The majority of Americans have had enough of this. We don’t want em, and they can take their dignity with them when they go home.

First of all – thank you.
America was/is comprised of immigrants. The definition of an immigrant always lies within our laws, and political climate. The law seems to be the lessor factor. That is my issue. An ‘illegal’ immigrant is traditionally anyone that tries to enter our borders bypassing our established criteria. When did this change? We need immigrants, to improve ourselves – that is how we have grown. But why are we surrendering our own security of immigration policy for any political motives? The law does not seem to matter. Politics does. I don’t care about the politics of this issue at all. I am part of a large family of immigrants, all of whom work, pay taxes, and school their children. Most of us have earned citizenship at this point, and others are pending but legally abiding here. Regardless, we are losing control when we just ship people from one state to another, and take no stand on the matter what so ever. BTW, I was born here.
