The Immigration Abyss: Chaos, Optics, and the Failure of Leadership

(00:00.736)

Immigration abyss, that’s what we’re looking into right now. Just this black void that we continue to spiral down. Both sides, cracking skulls, back and forth, back and forth. Listen, we haven’t had actual true leadership, in my opinion, from a president when it came to domestic strife.

in a long time. Actually, you know, the closest thing to it, the closest thing to believe it or not was Donald Trump in his first term with the issues and remember was in Charlottesville, Virginia. And he tried to say, Hey, listen, they’re good people and bad people on both sides. And that got completely taken out of context by people on the left and they went after him and they continue to lie and hammer him on that. And it’s wrong. And it’s wrong.

You can go back to Obama. Remember Obama rattling every member remember the Trayvon Martin thing in Orlando and what was the other one the William Gates thing in outside of Boston and he jumped the gun on that then he had that after the fact he had a hold that beer summit remember that whole thing.

Letting a crisis or an issue or a problem, finding a way to enhance your position of power, damn what it does to the country, quite frankly. Yesterday, yesterday we, and again, it’s all over the news today, and there’s gonna be Harry and we’re gonna arrest this one, we’re gonna do that. You get a bunch of Soros.

paid agitators, not good people, not good people, invading a church, some Baptist church in Minnesota completely disrupting their services that day. Horrible. Bad. Bad. You know what I also think is horrible and bad as well? I don’t, quite frankly, I don’t like the optics.

(02:20.654)

I don’t know about you. I don’t like the optics of seeing.

You know, people on the streets dressed, you know, military ice, military type fatigues out there, faces covered, you know, march. I don’t like that. I don’t like seeing that. I remember when I was younger, it was actually like almost like a point of pride in the United States that, you’d be, you you fly into an international airport in the United States. You never saw a machine gun. Never. I remember. I remember when I was a.

kid and we went out with my dad got us we’re on a family vacation went to Venezuela and landed at the Caracas airport and seeing you know police or military personnel with machine guns the airport never see that it didn’t happen in the United States now everywhere.

everywhere. What needs to happen right now is we need to stop drifting down into the abyss. The president has done a great job at shutting down the border. He’s done a tremendous job at shutting down the border.

Stop not letting people not getting in enforcing the border. Fantastic. Okay, have to do that. Job one, you have to stop the flow coming in. Now you want to deal with getting people out of the country. Now so far, so far, and this is from the Cato Institute, 5%, 5 % of individuals booked into ICE detention had a violent criminal conviction.

(04:12.941)

73 % had no conviction at all. Nothing. Okay, 5 % is still a lot, right? And again, you want to be going after those and again, you should be actively pursuing that. The way to handle this, and again, always to handle problems. I always talked about just follow the money.

It doesn’t matter if it’s drugs, it doesn’t matter if it’s immigration, you deal with the economics of the issue, the problem goes away. Period. The end. We do not need all of these ice age. All you need to do, all you need to do, but they’re not willing to do this. Mind you, they’re not. They’re not.

cannot work in the United States unless you have paperwork. Simply, e-verify. E-verify system. Employer doesn’t check immigration status. Employer doesn’t check, doesn’t make sure that it’s accurate. Then you find the employer. You are not allowed to hire illegal

workers period the end. The other thing quite frankly another simple thing no handouts no giveaways no welfare. Again I want to remind you I talked about this last week Republicans signed off on another six billion dollars in aid and handouts and welfare for refugees coming into the country. No the only reason

The only reason they’re coming here is for either a job or government assistance or they are a bad guy, a human trafficker or a drug dealer. Those are the reasons.

(06:22.862)

Cut off the money. Enforce e-verify. People will freaking self-deport, man. What else are they going to do? You go after the criminals, let law enforcement do its thing, go at them. We don’t need this.

(06:42.446)

No paperwork, no job. Not an American citizen, I’m sorry. We’re $38 trillion in debt. We don’t have the money right now. Sorry, can’t help you right now. Case closed, period, the end. That’s it. Problem solved. But again.

There seems to be more money in keeping the problem going. Keeping the problem going and keeping the various different agencies and groups and whatnot that are funded with our tax dollars and funneled through DC. Again, there’s way too many people in Washington, DC getting rich off of our immigration issues. While we sit and

yell and scream at each other and at each other’s throats over this. Again, I have no problem. I have no problem with legal immigration. I have no problem with people that want to come here, learn language, become an American citizen, but do it the right way. None whatsoever.

But what we’ve done is a mess and again buy and let it get out of control but Is this helping matters what’s taking place?

You’re not getting an argument from me. You shouldn’t go messing around with ICE or police or interfering with what they do. I’m all for, all for nonviolent protests done the right way, not interfering with law enforcement. You want to shout your hey hey ho ho, know ICE has got to go. Fine, you do it away from them. I get that. It’s okay. That’s legal. No interference.

(08:38.124)

But what we’re getting right now is this, again, this escalation that’s leading us further and further into the abyss. Again, having us at each other’s throats.

(08:51.79)

Does it help us making the country better? No, to me, it makes me sad.

It really does, it makes me sad to sin, quite frankly. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
