JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): The Somali situation. Did you ever wonder why the Somalis don't go to Japan? Because they don't let them. How about go to South Korea? They don't let the Somalis into South Korea. They don't let the Somalis into New Zealand. China doesn't want the Somalis. The Somalis are not really welcome anywhere in the world except the United States, okay? And we've gotten a little window in how they behave so far and it hasn't gone well.
The statistics show they're uneducated overwhelmingly, poor, and on welfare. So, we tried. Didn't work out. They also stole a lot. Didn't work out, and so, now, I'm sorry, you ruined it. Some of them are good people. You've ruined it for the rest of them, and so we're just not going to let any more of them come in. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is.
