MATT WALSH (HOST): So the question naturally arises, what would a more successful immigration policy look like? What is the third option that we haven't pursued and that hasn't really been presented to us at least in mainstream discourse? Well, it's actually pretty simple.
Instead of simply targeting illegal aliens, the president should use his authority to immediately terminate all migration from the Third World. We should start being extremely selective about the legal migration we allow, which means not allowing an unchecked flood of Third World migration into this country. The United States has for far too long functioned as essentially a giant soup kitchen for — or a homeless shelter for the entire world, and it's not sustainable. We are out of space. We are out of money. We are out of resources. And as we watch what's happening in Los Angeles, we're also out of patience.
Now for one thing, the so-called legal immigration system as it currently exists is nothing more than a giant pipeline for fraud and scams. To just give one example, if you had to guess, here's a question. How many foreign nationals, do you think abuse our student visa system to enter as legal migrants only to overstay their visas? What's the percentage? Well, it turns out that in the fiscal year 2023, the percentage was about 3.5%. And that might not seem like a large figure, but then you have to ask, are people from certain countries overstaying their visas at much higher rates than everybody else? That's the interesting question, and nobody seems to want to talk about it. And that's because the answer to that question tells you everything you need to know. According to DHS data, the Third World is responsible for astronomical rates of visa overstays.
