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."
