No big deal, just a little looting and property damage in the name of justice. But while the media fixates on the drama and conflict, they’re not talking about how this issue was completely avoidable and the result of a desperately broken immigration system. America has a laundry list of challenges. Deficits are too high. Social Security desperately needs reform. Medicare needs to be completely overhauled. The list goes on and on. Immigration is another major problem. The system is totally broken. Everyone in Congress knows this is true— there’s not a single Senator or Representative who would stand behind the current immigration system. Simultaneously, most everyone in Congress generally agrees that the US needs hard-working, law-abiding immigrants who can bring capital, labor, professional skills, or entrepreneurial abilities. This means that immigration stands nearly alone among America’s big challenges where both sides are largely in agreement. They don’t agree about bringing down the deficit. They don’t agree about Social Security and Medicare. They don’t agree about a number of social issues. But they do agree on immigration... making it THE most fixable of America’s major problems. And fixing it would be incredibly useful. If there were actually a straightforward, simple path to legal residency, millions of people could become law-abiding taxpayers. More small businesses, more truck drivers, more researchers, more engineers, more construction workers, more data scientists. Faster economic growth, higher savings, greater production, more investment. All of this would be an unequivocal win for the economy... and frankly it’s exactly what the federal government needs to pull out of its fiscal nosedive. Yet, inexplicably, no one seems to want to fix the most fixable problem in America. Both sides agree on both the problem and solution. But instead everyone is battling it out... whether in the streets or on Twitter. What a waste. We get into all of this in today’s podcast episode. We also discuss: How the US is following Europe’s self-destructive lead Why Western Civilization is in decline How these dysfunctional policies are showing up in the price of gold How our thesis on gold stocks has come true— especially over the last couple months In fact, we’re running a flash sale on The 4th Pillar investment research newsletter which has identified several of these precious metals company that have surged in value by as much as 153% in as little as three months. It’s not quite too late— we still have two gold companies that haven’t yet taken off, but are primed to follow the same catalysts. Which is why we chose to provide one more opportunity to join The 4th Pillar for a discount. CLICK HERE to learn more.
