MATT WALSH (HOST): It doesn't matter that Omar was born here. It doesn't matter whether his parents were legal immigrants or not. None of that matters. His goal remains the same. He was born in America, but he's not actually an American. America is not his home. He's very proudly admitted that. Omar Fateh, like the, other Somali politicians in Minnesota, understands that he can take advantage of us. So they're all doing it to their great benefit. 

By contrast, nobody can provide — and I've asked — nobody can provide an example of a single way that the United States has benefited from Somali immigration. OK. This is like the question that people don't wanna ask even though it's very — it should be a very simple question. What is the benefit of importing a bunch of Somalis into this country? Now it's easy to think of the drawbacks, but I can't think of a single positive and neither can anyone else.
