Here's the thing.
I can believe that the United States should lower its levels of
immigration in the future while
also respecting that there are people who have come here through
lawful immigration pathways that have contributed to the country.
But just because one person or 10
people or 100 people came in legally
and contributed to the United States of America,
does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in a million
or 10 million or 100 million
people a year in the future? No, that's not right.
We cannot have, I'll go and finish,
we cannot have an immigration policy where what
was good for the country 50 or 60 years ago
binds the country inevitably for the future.
There's too many people who want to come to
the United States of America.
And my job as vice president is not to look out for the interest of
the whole world.
It's to look out for the people of the United States.
A college student just tried
to guilt trip the Vice President of the United States
on camera with tears, full Oscar campaign,
somebody please get this woman an agent.
Oh, and it didn't go well, not at all, for her.
Because here's the twist, she's legal.
She did it by the book. And J.D. Vance still looked her
dead in the eye, calm, polite,
smiling like a dentist about to tell you you've got six cavities
and said, my job is not to look out
for the interests of the whole world. Silence. Then
the room absolutely exploded somewhere.
Diversity consultant absolutely fainted. And now with
Homeland Security reportedly knocking on Ilhan Omar's door,
that clip is going viral all over
again. Oh, pure coincidence. I'm pretty sure.
Totally random. Kind of like a fire alarm going
off right when somebody lights a match.
Federal agents raiding the home of Democratic Congresswoman
Ilhan Omar with the DOJ confirming the search
was authorized by a federal judge as part of an
ongoing criminal investigation.
Omar pushing back, writing, quote, I'm OK. Make no mistake.
This is an attempt to target political enemies
and weaponize federal law enforcement. For 10 years,
Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns.
This is just the latest escalation in
his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced. Several high profile Dems are
backing Omar, accusing President Trump of abusing his power
and targeting political opponents just
weeks before the midterms.
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs and
Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation,
Cully Stimson, joins me now. Cully, that's the
politics. You and I are going to focus on the law.
What federal crime do you believe DHS was
looking for evidence of? Well, good morning.
By definition, it means it's something related to
immigration, immigration fraud,
wire fraud related to immigration fraud, sponsoring somebody you
weren't eligible to do, not being of the appropriate age
when you swore that you were of a certain age
to become a citizen. So something immigration related.
What kind of items do you think the
feds were looking for? My gut tells me it would
be something related to official documents related
to her age or age verification or her birth certificate.
She's never really produced her
birth certificate saying that Somalia is not a beacon
of awesome paperwork because of their
war-torn country.
So I would think either correspondence, emails, texts, financial
records, or more likely something related to passport,
something like that.
If the feds have gotten to the point of raiding a home,
how strong is their case?
Well, you got to understand here that,
you know, the bench in Washington, D.C.,
where I used to practice law, is not particularly fond
of the Trump administration.
and so in fact they've called out Trump lawyers
in court questioning their credibility and so here
the fact that a federal magistrate a judge signed off
on a search warrant for a sitting member of
Congress's home there had to be some there there
that convinced this judge that there was enough
probably well beyond probable cause
so this is not just the Trump administration willy-nilly
slithering into a rep's house this is a federal judge
who's the stop gap said okay there's enough
here. Go ahead. But this is bigger than just one college kid
with a microphone. This is the whole
machine falling apart, guys.
The 1965 law that rewrote America while everybody was watching
Bonanza. Anybody remember that old show?
Anyway, Ronald Reagan's 1986 amnesty, which promised a
secure border right after this, 40 years later, was still waiting.
Ron's in heaven. The border
still open, Joe Biden's policy, millions a year,
no reservation required. America became the world's
biggest Airbnb, except nobody checks out and you pay the cleaning fee.
Oh, and Bernie Sanders,
yeah, exactly. Used to scream about cheap labor stealing American jobs.
Then one day he just
stopped. Bernie, blink twice if they took your mittens.
I wonder how it could be that with a
supposed scarcity of workers out there that wages
and benefits are going down.
The guest worker provisions in this bill,
which will bring many hundreds of thousands
of lower wage workers into this country,
will only make a bad situation even worse.
And I think at a time when the middle class is shrinking,
the last thing we need is to
bring over a period of years millions of people into this country
who are prepared to lower
wages for American workers the idea that in the United States
of America today we need more people
to come from other countries
who will work at high-tech jobs whether it's computer programming
or other information technology jobs
because we just don't have the workers in America
is absolute nonsense on one hand you have large multinationals trying
to shut down plants in
America move to China and on the other hand you have
the service industry bringing in low-wage
workers from abroad. The result is the same.
Middle class gets shrunken and wages go down.
I support immigration reform.
I think we need comprehensive immigration reform. The one area
where I am concerned about
and I've played an active role is I don't want to see companies
utilizing guest worker programs to lower wages for American workers.
Corporate America is kind
of using immigration reform as a means to continue
their effort to lower wages in the United States
of America. And we must not allow that to happen.
Is it really true that we can't find American
workers to do those jobs? Frankly, I don't believe it.
Open borders. That's a Koch brothers proposal.
The idea, of course, I mean, that's a right wing proposal,
which says essentially there is no
United States, but it would make a lot of global poor richer,
wouldn't it? And it'd make everybody
in America poor. Then you're doing away with,
with the concept of a nation state. What these
corporations are doing is going outside of the country
so they can pay people from Russia,
Eastern Europe, lower wages than they can American high-tech people.
I think that that's wrong.
Terms of 2007 immigration reform, yeah, I did vote against it.
I voted against it because the
Southern Poverty Law Center, among other groups,
said that the guest worker programs that were
embedded in this agreement were akin to slavery.
That bill was opposed by LULAC, the largest
Latino organization in America,
the Southern Poverty Law Center, called its guest worker
programs akin to slavery. We don't need slavery
in America where workers, guest workers are forced
to stay with their employers.
Both parties signed the same secret deal. Democrats got the votes,
donors got the cheap labor, and you got the bill and a lecture.
Meanwhile, Sweden stopped
trusting its own neighbors,
Denmark's left-wing party got tough on borders, New York said,
Mamdani, sure, why not?
And President Trump is sitting back, watching Europe finally discover
what you figured out in 2016.
Welcome to the party, guys. Snacks are in the back.
The media gave you the tears, but we're going
to go ahead and give you the receipts. Now,
if you're new here, go ahead and subscribe, guys.
It's totally free, which is more than we can say
for the last four years. Oh, and real quick,
if you or someone you love is on Medicare,
maybe turning 65 years old, Chapter offers free Medicare help.
I know, totally free.
You've been thinking about it. Give them
a call right now. I put the phone number in the
description of the video down below, 909-563-8279.
Give them a call right now because the average
senior is saving about $1,100 a year.
And if this lights you up, guys, hit the like button on the
way out. It's cheaper than amnesty, I promise.
So picture this, a college auditorium packed
hundreds of students phones are up a microphone stand
in the aisle the vice president of the
united states is taking questions live there's
no script there's no teleprompter something that
joe biden never tried without a nap first
and then a young woman steps up to the mic and you can kind
of feel it before she even opens her mouth
this is not a question this is a closing argument why
did you sell us a dream you made us spend
our youth our wealth in this country and gave us a
dream you don't owe us anything we have worked hard for it
then how can you as a vice president
stand there and say that we have too many of them now
and we are going to take them out to people
who are here rightfully
so by paying the money that you guys asked us you gave us the path and
now how can you stop it
and tell us we don't belong here anymore on the question of of
immigration. So first of all,
I can believe that we should have lower immigration levels.
But if the United States passed a law and made a promise to somebody,
the United States,
of course, has to honor that promise.
Nobody's talking about that. I'm talking about people who
came in in violation of the laws of the United States of America.
And I'm talking about in the
future, reducing the number, reducing the number of people.
Here's the thing. I can believe
that the United States should lower its levels
of immigration in the future while also respecting
that there are people who have come here through
lawful immigration pathways that have contributed
to the country. But just because one person
or 10 people or 100 people came in legally and
contributed to the United States of America,
does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in
a million or 10 million
or 100 million people a year in the future? No, that's not right.
We cannot have, I'll go and finish,
we cannot have an immigration policy where what was good
for the country 50 or 60 years ago binds
the country inevitably for the future.
Now, this clip is not new. It's months old.
So why is it suddenly everywhere again? Because
Homeland Security reportedly showed up
at Ilhan Omar's house. And just like that,
America remembered, oh, right, immigration laws.
We have those. So people went digging,
and they found this clip. And then they
watched it once, they watched it twice,
and then they sent it to their brother-in-law.
Because one answer from J.D. Vance said more
in 60 seconds than Congress has said in 60 years.
Washington changes immigration rules faster than
Joe Biden changes his story.
And every time and every change hits your rent, your paycheck,
your kid's classroom, usually before anybody
on TV bothers to even mention it.
This is why I started the Ron Yates report.
This is a free newsletter that tells you what this
stuff actually means for you and for your family.
In plain English, there's no politicians speaking
there. There's no experts who can't afford their own rent.
Think of it as a heads up before the
bill shows up. So I'll leave a link for you
in the description down below. It's totally free,
which in this economy makes it the only thing that is.
So what did she actually say? Here it is guys,
plain English, why did you sell us a dream?
So she said that people like her spent their youth
here, spent their money here,
paid every fee the government asked for, followed the path that
America laid out. And now the vice president says
that there are too many. How can you stop it?
How can you tell us we don't belong here anymore?
Then the voice cracks, the tears come,
and you can feel the whole room holding its breath
because in American politics, tears are a super
weapon. I mean, most politicians,
they see a crying college kid and they fold up like a
lawn chair. They apologize.
They promise a task force, maybe even a hug, maybe a commission.
But wait, guys, listen to what she said first.
First, she said, you don't owe us anything.
But then 10 seconds later, basically, you owe us everything.
Lady, pick one. So the question
hanging in that room was pretty simple.
Would J.D. Vance flinch? Spoiler alert, he did not.
So what did J.D. do? Well, he didn't yell,
he didn't roll his eyes, he didn't ask for a safe
space and a juice box.
He just answered, yes, people who came here legally and contributed
deserve respect, period.
But if 10 people came legally and did great, does that mean America
has to take a million more? 10 million?
100 million? Every year? Forever? No. What made
sense 60 years ago doesn't chain America to it for life.
This is not immigration policy. This
is a hostage situation. Oh, and then the knockout punch.
My job as vice president is not to look out
for the interests of the whole world,
it's to look out for the people of the United States.
A politician who works for the people who pay him?
Washington is still checking if that's legal.
Do you have a relative who thinks America owes the whole world,
the whole planet, a free ride?
Don't fight about it over Thanksgiving turkey.
Just go ahead and send them this video.
Let JD do the talking. Go ahead
and hit share. Go ahead. I'll wait for you.
Now, let's be crystal clear.
J.D. Vance said America keeps its legal promises. Nobody's
coming for her. But a promise is not a blank check, either.
A visa is not a lottery ticket
that pays out forever. And American citizenship
is not sold at the checkout lane next to the gum.
Then there are the so-called temporary programs.
TPS literally stands for
Temporary Protected Status. DACA starts with Deferred.
Washington treats those words like
the best buy date on a jar of mustard.
More of a suggestion, but not actually required.
So here's the part that the media will not touch.
Ask legal immigrants who waited years, studied,
took the oath, and never asked for a handout.
Plenty of them agree with J.D. loudly. Because
it was never about where you came from.
It was about how you came and whether you came to join
America or to send it a bill. Okay, guys, numbers don't lie.
Numbers don't cry. Numbers don't have
a publicist in 1970, America had 9.6 million foreign born people,
about 5%. Today, over 50
million, about 15%. This is the highest share ever recorded.
If you ask the question, what is the
exact right number of immigrants for the United States to let in?
It is just very specific on the
context. If you go back to the 1920s,
the United States passed an immigration reform act that
effectively cut down immigration to close to zero
for 40 years in this country. And what happened
over those 40 years? The many,
many people who had come from many different foreign countries
and different foreign cultures, they assimilated into American culture.
And there was an expectation
that they would assimilate into American culture.
I think we have two problems in our immigration
system today. And my guess is you're probably
a slightly more leftist political persuasion,
liberal political persuasion? Maybe not.
But here's the thing. I remember back in my
establishment GOP days
when I was still very early getting involved in Republican politics,
I remember a conservative think tank person
who told me that one of the reasons why immigration
was really good is that if you had enough diversity in a country,
people would mistrust
each other and they wouldn't join labor unions.
Okay? So when I see a lot of left-wing people
who theoretically support organized labor saying we need
to flood the country with a limitless
number of immigrants, they're unwilling
to set any limitations on it. My response to that is
you are destroying the very social trust on which American freedom
and prosperity was built. And that
is really important to me.
So the honest answer to your question, what is the exact number of
immigrants America should accept in the future?
Right now, the answer is far less than we've been
accepting. We have got to become a common community again.
And you can't do that when you have such
high numbers of immigration,
which is one of the reasons why we have the immigration policy we do.
Thank you. But then Joe Biden showed up.
Net immigration used to run around 920,000 a year.
In 2023, it blew past 3 million in one year.
This is like dropping a brand new Chicago onto the map
every year, except nobody built the houses
or the schools or the hospitals. So then what happens?
Rent goes up, classrooms get packed,
the ER wait times turn into a camping trip. Oh, and who pays?
Well, you do, of course. Oh, but relax, guys.
The experts promise it's great for the economy.
The same experts who can't afford their own rent.
I'm Christine Frızell with a look at the record
number of migrants who have arrived over the last four years,
how those numbers compare to the
1800s and the staggering number considered criminals by the government.
They are portraits
of the immigration boom in America.
The late 1800s drawing in millions of Europeans to the
United States, setting records not broken until now.
The New York Times digging into the numbers,
finding the recent immigration surge has now
been the largest in U.S. history, with 8 million
arriving just since President Joe Biden took office.
More than half of those illegal,
representing an increase of 0.6% of the total population,
a jump not seen since the 1850s
and believed to be a key factor
in the 2024 election swinging to Donald Trump.
Most Americans are sympathetic,
kind-hearted people who feel like the Biden administration
was criminally negligent in protecting us by having a broken border.
Warnings now that more than 660,000 migrants
who are convicted felons or are facing criminal
charges were on the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement docket as of July. 58,000 in New
York City alone. So how do we get here, guys?
Well, we need to rewind back to 1965. Congress
passes the Hart-Celler Act.
Sounds like a law firm that advertises during daytime TV.
Hurt by immigration policy? Call Hart-Celler.
Yeah, right? It scrapped the old quota system
and put family reunification at the front of the line.
And Senator Ted Kennedy promised
it wouldn't change the country's ethnic mix. How'd that work out, Ted?
So here's how it plays out in real life.
One person comes, brings a spouse, then brothers
and sisters, then their spouses, then everybody's parents.
Soon, a green card? It's not a ticket,
it's more like a group chat. That's a chain migration.
And nobody ever asked you. The good
news? Laws are not carved in stone.
Congress wrote this one. Congress can rewrite it.
So let's go back to that college auditorium.
Her big question, what's the right number?
JD's answer, far less than we've been accepting.
Then, we have got to become a common community
again. Fun fact, the word nation comes from the Latin word for birth.
A nation is a family,
a shared home, a shared story,
and no family survives if nobody's allowed to decide who moves
into the guest room. Now under President Trump,
the tide has turned, not because Americans hate
anybody, because they love something.
It wasn't hate, it was home. And if you've wondered why
people keep whispering Vance 2028, well, you just watched The Reason.
She asked why America sold her
dream? Here's the answer.
The American dream belongs to Americans first. Always has.
