1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Well, we now are celebrating the eleven month of a

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: closed border. Take a look at this article from the

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner. Our buddies over there, Trump's historic border turnaround.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Zero releases at the border for eleven consecutive months. I

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: was told that this was impossible. I was told this

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: couldn't happen. And they've done it, and it's an incredible

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: thing that should be celebrated. In fact, every time you're

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: told by all the experts in Washington, DC that you

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: just can't do that, that's impossible, that's a pipe dream,

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Well how are you going to do that? How are

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: you going to shut down the border? It's just tell

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: them shut up and take a look at this. The

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: power of our government. They can do anything. They just

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: need to make it a priority. They don't have any

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: trouble hunting you down for a dollar ninety five That

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: as shorted the irs, right, So trust me, there's a will,

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: there's a way, And that, by the way, translates to

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the idea of deporting the criminal, illegal aliens who should

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: be here, and we're especially the ones that came in

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: in the last four years. Take a look at this graph.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Now this goes well beyond just the poorest border and

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: locking that down. You can see the Obama administration, you

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: can see the Trump administration, then you see the Biden administration,

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: and then you see the Trump administration. This shows you

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: how many cases of asylum have been granted to people

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: who claim refugee status in this country. The average monthly

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: rate for decided asylum cases in February of this year,

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: the second year of the Trump administration, we are sitting

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: at seven percent. As you can see, for the last

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: two plus decades, excuse me, for the last decade and

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: a half, we have not seen granted asylum cases this low.

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: It is stunning, and it just shows you that if

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: you focus and actually make it a priority to enforce

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: our laws, you can actually do it. We can actually

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: do things here. It's amazing. So, of course, there are

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: a handful of Republicans in the House of Representatives in

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: this election year who are deciding to take this victory

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: and this success and turn it into a defeat. And

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: we will get to that story in just one minute.

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: But first, if you're on Medicare or about to be

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: on Medicare, please listen carefully. This system isn't built for clarity.

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: It's built for confusion. You turn sixty five and suddenly

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: you're buried in options, fine print, deadlines. And here's what

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: most people don't realize. A lot of the help out

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: there isn't really on your side. Many agents are paid

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: more to push certain plans at you over others, so

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: you think you're getting advice, but you're actually being steered.

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: That didn't sit right with me, so I went looking

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: for a better option. I found Chapter. Now I recommend

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Chapter to everyone I know, including my own mom.

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: See.

52
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: Chapter has helped hundreds of my listeners and viewers find

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: better coverage, many now saving thousands each year simply by

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: finding a better Medicare plan.

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: And here's how.

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Chapter is the only advisor that compares every Medicare plan

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: nationwide to find the one that actually fits your needs,

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: not theirs. If you're on the right plan, they're gonna

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: tell you. In fact, that's what they told my mom

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: for part of her plan. So if you aren't on

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: the right plan, Chapter is gonna help you switch. That's

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the beauty of this And best of all, the call

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: is free and it only takes about twenty minutes literally,

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: So call Chapter today five aight oh three oh eight

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: zero nine seven five five at oh three oh eight

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: zero nine seven five it is well worth your time.

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: All right, Now, let's get back to the video. They've

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: got something called the Dignity Act. Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas,

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: guy we like a lot, says the Dignity Act as

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters.

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with Congressman Guilt. Well, this woman,

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Representative Maria Alta Vira Salazar of Florida, she disagrees. She's

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: one of the Republicans who drafted this thing, along with

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: a handful of other Republicans and a handful of Democrats.

75
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: She says, read the bill before you open your mouth. Wow,

76
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of disrespectful, isn't it. Calling the Dignity Act

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: amnesty isn't just wrong, it's a deliberate distortion. Exposes just

78
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: how little you know about the bill. This is enforcement first,

79
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: zero tolerance for criminals, permanent border security, and hard earned

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: requirements to step forward and face the law so American

81
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: workers are protected, not undercut. Interesting use of the word

82
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: American there when she says American workers. Just so you know,

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: those American workers also have an allegiance to another country

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: because they're still citizens of a foreign nation. I know,

85
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: I know, anybody can be an American. Yeah, you should

86
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: probably disavow the country you came from and enter here legally.

87
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Amnesty is the chaos you've defended. Millions in the shadows,

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: no control, no accountability in a system that stopped working

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: a long time ago. No shortcuts, no giveaways, no blanket forgiveness.

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: That's law and order. That's dignity or right, A couple

91
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: things about that, because I hate it when the language

92
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: is distorted for political purposes to say that amnesty is

93
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: what we're living with right now. Millions in the shadows. Wait,

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: why are they in the shadows. They're in the shadows

95
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: because if they come out of the shadow, they'll be

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: arrested and they'll be deported. Now, that's the opposite of amnesty.

97
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Don't tell me that people hiding in the shadows for

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: fear of actual punishment that the law dictates for the

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: crime they've committed is amnesty. That's just an out and

100
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: out lie and a distortion of the English language, and

101
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: it's despicable and beneath you. Frankly, Congresswoman, salahs are millions

102
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: in the shadows, no control, no accountability. Well no, actually,

103
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: we demand accountability. It's already written into the law.

104
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

105
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: So if you're bringing people out of the shadows and

106
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to face the actual legal penalty and

107
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: punishment for the law that they've broken, that means you

108
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: are in fact granting them amnesty. Fine, but don't tell

109
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: me it's not what it is. By the way, I

110
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: do like on X readers at it kind. I love

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: the community notes. It grants amnesty, permanent residency, deferred action

112
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: and legal status, and halts deportations. It wipes three to

113
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: ten year bands, creates inspected and admitted loopholes, and grants

114
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: ag the Attorney General power to terminate deportation for family hardship.

115
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Of course, it's amnesty. And if you don't believe me,

116
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: we'll listen to her as she talks about it.

117
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: We give them dignity. At some point in the future,

118
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: another legislator will write another law to give them paths

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: to citizenship. Right now, what we need to do is

120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay,

121
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: to continue working because they're needed.

122
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So a couple of things there. First of all,

123
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when they tell you what their plan is,

124
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: listen to them and believe them. She just said that

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: we're going to give them dignity, which means they can

126
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: stay without any repercussions or penalty. That's amnesty. They've broken

127
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: the law, they should face a punishment, but our new

128
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: law is going to do away with that punishment.

129
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: That's amnesty, ma'am.

130
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: She then said that in the future there'll be some

131
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: other legislative body that gives them citizenship. Well, why not

132
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: have the cojones to just do it now? Well, because

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: she knows, she knows that that is political poison, So

134
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: it's incrementalism. Well, let's just decriminalize what they do, let

135
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: them stay, and then eventually will make the exact same

136
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: case that they should be citizens, and then they'll be voting,

137
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: and how great will that be? But then the realtell

138
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: is right at the end here, right at the end,

139
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: this tells you exactly what the agenda is, what the

140
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: priority is. And frankly, in my opinion, who's probably paying

141
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: for this effort, Oh.

142
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: To continue working because they are needed.

143
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: They'll continue working because they're needed. They're cheap labor. That's

144
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: the bottom line, it's cheap labor. And listen, if you

145
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: want to set up a special visa to import cheap

146
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: labor on a temporary basis, do that.

147
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: That's what we used to do.

148
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: In this country, temporary workers coming from Latin America. They'd

149
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: come up and do agricultural work and then they'd have

150
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: to leave.

151
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

152
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: But if your priority is to get people working because

153
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: they're needed and allow them to stay, then it means

154
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: it has a lot more to do with exploiting cheap labor,

155
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: funding people who profit off of that cheap labor, and ultimately,

156
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: for political purposes, turning those people into voters. There's no

157
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: two ways about it. You don't have to be a

158
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: congresswoman from Florida, though, to be in favor of this.

159
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, who is a Republican in arguably a purplish

160
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: district in New York, he was confronted with this issue

161
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: by Laura Ingram, and honestly, I don't think I can

162
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: add anything to this conversation that Laura didn't do. So

163
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: take it away, missus Ingram.

164
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: Under this legislation, and yes I've read it before you

165
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: ask me, can waive any of these rules for eligibility

166
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: including an alien's criminal history. How can you possibly look

167
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: in the face of the American people and say that's dignity.

168
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: So a few things, Laura. Number One, under current law,

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security is doing that. They are

170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: absolutely allowing people who are in this country illegally to

171
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: ultimately get on a pathway to citizenship. It has happened

172
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: for forty years. This system is fundamentally broken. I know

173
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: it because my wife is an immigrant and I've been

174
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: thro it, and so my perspective on this is very simple.

175
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 5: Number One, the border was the biggest problem. President Trump

176
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: ran and won on that issue. He said he would

177
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 5: stop illegal immigration into the country. He has effectively done that.

178
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: We've had ten straight months of net zero illegal entry

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: into the country. I fully support that, and we want

180
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: to codify President Trump's policies into law, which is what

181
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 5: the Dignity Act does when it comes to the border. Secondarily,

182
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 5: is to deal with the undocumented that are in this country.

183
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 5: Get them out of the shadows. You are talking about

184
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 5: tens of millions of people who have been living in

185
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: the shadows and undocumented, and no matter what do you mean,

186
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: how they're not they're.

187
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: Not legally.

188
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: This in the shadow, not legally here.

189
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: I'm dealing with this for twenty five years. I don't

190
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: know what shadows your looking at, but they're not in

191
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: the shadows. They're working in restaurants. Some are others are

192
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 4: fraud in California. But this idea, and that's why this

193
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: is given amnesty. They're not already given amnesty. Why do

194
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: you come on television and say that the president has

195
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: been trying to remove people from this country. The only

196
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: reason they're not being removed we don't have strong Democrats

197
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 4: and Republicans to support it.

198
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 5: Now, Laura, criminal aliens one hundred percent should be removed

199
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 5: from this country, period, and the bill provides for that.

200
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: I don't want anyone getting a waiver. I don't want

201
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 5: anyone getting a free passion the legislation. If you have

202
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: committed you have committed a crime, yes I have, Laura.

203
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: If you have committed a crime, you should be removed

204
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: from the country period number number two. What we are

205
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: trying to do is say if you have been in

206
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: the country from more than five years, in other words,

207
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 5: if you came here during Joe Biden's administration, you don't

208
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 5: quality you determined, don't qualify under this legislation.

209
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: All of this sounds great.

210
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: It's very simple question.

211
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: It's very clear.

212
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,359
Speaker 5: You have to be in the country before twenty twenty.

213
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: You have to be in the country before twenty twenty.

214
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: Who came?

215
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: Please all right, please determine? Please tell my audience, because

216
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 4: they're very smart. How does an immigration officer determine millions

217
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: and millions? Determine continuous presence? And tell me the considerations

218
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: they take into account to determine that.

219
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, look, if.

220
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: They if they cannot prove that, if they cannot prove

221
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: continuous presence, they wouldn't qualify for this. You have to

222
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: be able to show to meet the act.

223
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: The question how do you determine it?

224
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: You have to be able to meet the qualifications of

225
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: the program. And that means what is Land Security is

226
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: going to determine. They are going to make the determination

227
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 5: as they always have rules based on the current structure

228
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 5: and guidelines that are in place. But the bottom line here,

229
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: can can I make a few points because this actually matters?

230
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: Everify is part of the bill? Does Okay? So you

231
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: actually you and it's part of the bill, and we

232
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: want to verify that every single person who would be

233
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 5: employed in this country is here legally. If you're not verified,

234
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 5: you wouldn't be able to lawfully work, and we would

235
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 5: hold those businesses accountable. The bottom line of the Dignity

236
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 5: Act is very straightforward. You have to be in the

237
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: country for more than five years. You cannot have committed

238
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: a crime. You cannot collect government that Okay, you have

239
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: to pay a fine. You must pay that tax.

240
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: It's that false law.

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: You must pay that tax.

242
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Congressman, you must be employed.

243
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 5: Those are the terms here here, those are the terms.

244
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: I love congressmen, you know how much I like you,

245
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: But you can't come on this show and say to

246
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: my audience that you can. You can. You can't have

247
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: committed a crime to be eligible under the quote Dignity

248
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: Act because there are several crimes that are quote non

249
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: violent that do not qualify for inadmissibility. And on top

250
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: of that, there are multiple instances including family unity, public interest,

251
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: and just discretion on the part of immigration officers. I

252
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: can't imagine Democrat immigration officers under a Democrat president in

253
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: the future was going to hold the strict You know,

254
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: we're not going to let any criminals in gang member affiliations.

255
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: What they're going to do what they're going to do.

256
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, what the Democrats will do if they get complete

257
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: control of Congress and the White House. They're going to

258
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: end the filibuster and they are going to pass a

259
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: blanket amnesty bill. That's the fundamental challenge here.

260
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: What we are No, Listen, he may be right about that.

261
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: You're just making the case why we need to get

262
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster and get to this garbage before

263
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: they do Number one and number two, Why are you

264
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: doing something in a defense crouch because you're afraid Democrats

265
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: might get control. I've got a better idea. Stand for

266
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: the thing the American people have overwhelmingly supported and voted for.

267
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Continue to enforce those laws and make the laws better

268
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: and stricter on illegal immigration, so you don't lose power.

269
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Because when you talk like this, a lot of voters

270
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: will say, well, there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats,

271
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna vote for this person who doesn't

272
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: have a creepy beard that I don't like, because they're

273
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: really the same, because you are basically the same when

274
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: you talk like this, And it goes on a little

275
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: bit further, and Lori Ingram does a fantastic job. And

276
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for saying missus Ingram. I met miss Ingram.

277
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: She's not married. And I know, listen, you might say

278
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I like Congressman Lawler, and you know he's a good guy,

279
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: and he's in a tough district, and you're right, he

280
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: isn't a tough district.

281
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: Don't drag the whole party down with you.

282
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: If you have trouble getting re elected, you figure it

283
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: out without screwing up our entire immigration And if I

284
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: have here one more time that his wife is an immigrant,

285
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm sorry. That makes it sound like perhaps

286
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: you're taking this personally, and you shouldn't. You're supposed to

287
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: have the country's interest in heart, not your wife and

288
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: her family's interest at heart. And one other thing, one

289
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: other thing that's incredibly important in this conversation, because I

290
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: feel like I'm bringing you some history here that for

291
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: some reason, people in Washington, d C. And people who

292
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: are on television to talk about the news and give

293
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: context to the news, they just have no understanding of

294
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: what has happened in the past. Let me just tell

295
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: you something. Every single thing you hear from these Republicans

296
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: and Democrats who are trying to pass this Dignity Act crap.

297
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: They're going to tell you, oh, here's what the law's

298
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: going to do. And then once we have this law passed,

299
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, and we're gonna do this, and

300
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: we're going to enforce and it's going to be strict

301
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: and it's going to be robust, and we're gonna do this,

302
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do this, and we're gonna do this,

303
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: and it sounds great, and you want to believe them,

304
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: you do. Go look up the nineteen eighty seven Immigration

305
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: Reform Act. I was a kid, it's a teenager in

306
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty seven Immigration Reform Act. And Ronald Reagan

307
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: did not want to sign that bill because guess what

308
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: that bill was. Guess what it was. It was amnesty.

309
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: It was amnesty for the paltry by today's standards, a

310
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: number of illegal immigrants who were in this country. It

311
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: was amnesty for them. It allowed them to get citizenship,

312
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: to dodge the law, to come out of the shadows,

313
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: and their family, and then that was going to be it.

314
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was eventually convinced to sign this thing by

315
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming. I'll never forget watching it,

316
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: because I've been a news junkie even when I wasn't

317
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing right now. But I remember watching

318
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: this vividly because I was from southern California and the

319
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: immigration issues a big deal there, and there were a

320
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: handful of Republicans who really wanted this thing for the

321
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: same reason you're seeing Republicans do it now. You know

322
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: who's going to pick our strawberries, who's going to make

323
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: the beds at the hotels. Ronald Reagan knew better, and

324
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: he said, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm

325
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: not going to do it. It's rewarding people who broke

326
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: the law. Alan Simpson of Wyoming was the guy who

327
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: convinced him. Look it up, fact check be please. I

328
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: always like it when you fact checked me because I win.

329
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: And Ronald Reagan eventually reluctantly signed the Immigration Reform Act

330
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty seven. They granted amnesty to illegal immigrants

331
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: in this country. But there were two final arguments made

332
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: to convince him to do it, two promises that were

333
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: written into the law. It was written into the law

334
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: that he signed. The first one was that this would

335
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: be the last amnesty ever granted, and there would never

336
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: be another amnesty for illegal immigrants in this country because

337
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: it would never be needed again. You see, because this

338
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: would end the problem of illegal immigration, right, And why

339
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: would it end the problem of illegal immigration be because

340
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: that's the second provision.

341
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: They were gonna.

342
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Build a wall. Yes, they promised to build a wall,

343
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: because we didn't have a wall. We had a broken

344
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: down fans at certain parts, but we didn't have a wall.

345
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: And so Ronald Reagan was commenced to sign the Immigration

346
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: Reform Active nineteen eighty seven. You know how everybody says

347
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: our immigration system is broken, Well, the same people who

348
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: tell you that our immigration system is broken wrote the

349
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: Immigration Reform Active nineteen eighty seven to fix our immigration problem.

350
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: And it included reforms to immigration so it would be

351
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: easier to immigrate legally, and it gave amnesty to legal immigrants.

352
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: And then they were gonna build a wall. And then

353
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: George Herbert Walker Bush became president and Congress. Funny thing,

354
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Congress run by the Democrats didn't fund the building of

355
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: the wall.

356
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's the law. Oh, you have to build

357
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: the wall.

358
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: But then you've got to do an appropriations bill and

359
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: a budget bill. And an omnibus spending bill, and well,

360
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: he just didn't put the money in the budget to

361
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: build the wall. I know it's the law, but if

362
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: we don't have the money, we don't have the money,

363
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? So they didn't build a wall.

364
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: Then Bill Clinton became president, and boy, oh boy, did

365
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: we not build a wall. You see these clips from

366
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: the nineties with Clinton and Schumer all talking about how

367
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: bad illegal immigration is, and it's like, wait a minute,

368
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought you fixed that in nineteen eighty seven. But no,

369
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: it just kept getting worse, didn't it. It kept getting

370
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. And

371
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was duped, he was lied to, he knew better.

372
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: And then they finally got a wall. It took Donald

373
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: Trump to do it. And boy, they really opposed that wall,

374
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: didn't they, even though that was the big thing that

375
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: they promised back in eighty seven to convince the Gipper

376
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: to sign the damn thing. Don't tryrust them, don't ever

377
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: trust them on this. We've seen this movie. Some of

378
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: us have lived through it. Leave it to a handful

379
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: of Republicans to rip defeat from the jaws of victory. Yes,

380
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: the border is closed finally. Can we start building on

381
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: this success now, please,
