Viral presentation using gumballs to show perils of mass immigration continues to resonate, 28 years later

An old video of NumbersUSA founder Roy Beck using gumballs to describe the perils of mass migration into the United States went viral again last week, which the group he founded says demonstrates the timelessness of his message.

"Some people say that mass immigration into the United States can help reduce world poverty. Is that true? Well, no it's not," Beck said in the video. NumbersUSA, an advocacy group for limiting legal and illegal immigration, says the presentation has gotten more than 140 million views on various platforms over the years.

Former GOP congressional candidate Robby Starbuck shared the video to his 536,000 followers on X last week, where it got more than 3 million views. He added, "If you watch this and you’re still for mass migration because you think you’re a humanitarian, I’m pretty sure you’re a lost cause."

NumbersUSA CEO James Massa said the "captivating imagery" of the video still resonates because it drives home the point that the world's problems can't be solved by bringing everyone to the United States.

And they only care about Democrat voters until they get elected or re-elected. Then they don’t pay any attention to those voters.

I wish that that were the case. Rather, fueled by a hatred of the White majority, they are actively engineering a change in our national demographics.

“Rather, fueled by a hatred of the White majority, they are actively engineering a change in our national demographics.”

It’s not ironic at all that most of the people against the “white majority” are white.

I was hoping for the bowl of gumballs/jelly beans only 10% of which were poisoned, how many would you eat?

It seems to long since gone down the memory hole.

I’ve shown this great presentation to liberal friends over the years. I’m unsure whether it made long-lasting impact, but their surprised silence was telling.

I suspect that’s not the goal (to absorb them). I suspect the goal is to collapse the United States so that the globalists (fueled by the Stalin era communists) can subjugate the world to their New World Order. We’re all that’s stood in their way for nearly 100 years.

Same here, never though we would watch it play out in real time.

This is what happens when conservatives issue cautionary tales of the future.

As with 1984 the left uses them as a manual.

The only way we can end world poverty is leading by example.

Overthrow our own Deep State, and make America accountable to We The People once again.

Only when our Constitutional Republic is again functioning as the Founders intended - a government truly accountable to the people - can we return to a state of peace, strength and prosperity that was the envy of the world.

If we can succeed in overthrowing our own tyrants here, the people of other nations will follow our lead and overthrow their own tyrants.

America First. It’s the only way.

I love it. But unless I missed it, I wish he had one jar to show the relative population of the U.S.
