BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): What are the problems of today? What are the major irritants of modern society? Well, it kind of is a grab bag. But let's do some of the top line.
The rent is too high. Groceries cost too much. There's not enough jobs. Women don't feel safe walking down the street. Traffic is terrible. Health care is too expensive. Housing costs are too high. Gasoline costs are too high. There's not enough space on the roads or the streets for our kids to play anymore. The parks aren't safe anymore. The schools are too crowded. My God, can you believe how long the lines are? The airport. My goodness. Things have gotten out of control. There's no dollar menu anymore.
Everything has just skyrocketed in expense, and we can't figure out why. And our federal government is spending so much money on what exactly? Criminal aliens. The answer to every one of those questions. The answer to every one of those gripes and bitches and complaints is to deport 20 million criminal illegal aliens. Everyone. Rent is too high. Well, there's 20 million illegals here that are jacking up your rent. Housing costs are too high. Well, yeah, you're having to compete with 20 million people that don't belong here. Grocery prices are too high. Well, yeah, the 20 million people are on WIC and SNAP and welfare. They're getting free groceries. Well, if somebody's getting free groceries, what do you think that does for the people who are paying for groceries? It's supply and demand. There's only so much bread on the shelf. If 20% of that bread is going for free out the door, paid for by you, of course, what is that going do to the other 80%? Supply and demand.
Things have gotten so expensive. Gas is so expensive. Well, you're competing. I mean, the gas prices, that's another, like, finite resource. You're competing with 20 million criminal aliens that are here. My electricity costs, the costs to run everyday life — all of it boils down to 20 million criminal aliens who don't belong here — using, not only the resources that are available to all of us in the free market, but most of them being subsidized. It gets so much worse when you realize that rent is high because the government is paying their rent. Grocery prices are high because the government is paying for their groceries. Health care costs are high because the government is paying for their health care.
