I mean, this isn't, you know, a Cecil B. DeMille movie with Ten Commandments and everybody's, you know, masses of people crossing the Red Sea or something. I mean, this takes work. Yeah. And you know, a significant number will leave on their own because that's the insight is you have fewer people coming in and more people going out and so the number shrinks. Shrinkage
In other words, it's the vector, it's the direction things are going is the key thing to look at. And will they deport everybody by the end of this term? No, they're not going to. In fact, they're probably never going to be deporting everybody because I'm kind of a squish on amnesty eventually. They need to restore control, they need to squeeze the number down.
get the enforcement systems in place, not just the commitment, but the systems, like E-Verify, like a proper check-in, check-out system for visitors. They have to get sanctuary cities under control. Once that happens, I'm willing to talk. But that's not something that should even be on the agenda now. That's like the second term of the JD Vance administration. We talk about that.
You enforce the law, the illegal population shrinks through attrition. It's not going to get to zero, but nothing's perfect in the world. You know what I mean? You deal with reality as it is. And the main thing I'm looking for is that four years from now, the illegal population is smaller than it is now. No, no, that makes perfect sense.
Talk to me about that. Well, Trump said, you know, I will end it by, you know, executive order. He can't really end it on his own, but what he can do is start the litigation that will end it. Now, birthright citizenship means anybody born here, literally anybody, even frankly to foreign diplomats, let alone tourists and students and illegal aliens, automatically a kid's a U.S. citizen.
Every developed country in the world except Canada that had that policy has now ended it. Because in the modern world, it just is not sustainable. In the old days, you couldn't take a three-week vacation in another country because it took you three weeks just to get to the next, your next village. I mean, it was just different back then.
We need to end it so that only kids born to US citizens and green card holders, permanent residents, I get automatic citizenship. But I like the way Australia did it. What they did is that's what they did, they changed the law but said if the kid lives his first 10 years of his life without interruption in Australia, then he gets to be a citizen. In other words, like a statute of limitations.
It makes sense. We got to get to that point, but nothing's going to happen until we start the ball rolling. And that's what the president did with an executive order this week to say, federal agencies should no longer treat newborns automatically as U.S. citizens unless they can prove that they have at least one U.S. citizen or green card parent.
And where that plays out is the Social Security Administration and the State Department. In other words, don't issue passports And don't issue social security numbers to newborns unless, you know, one parent at least is a citizen or a legal resident. That's on hold. The judge just enjoined that or temporarily stalled it, which is fine, which is the way it should be.
Because it's got to get to the Supreme Court.
But that's for passing it on. If you're a US citizen and have a kid abroad, and then that kid abroad as a kid, what we're talking about here is- That's right. born in the US, two foreigners, which ones get to be citizens and which ones don't? Yeah.
Well, no, he didn't rule on it. He just said it needs to be enjoined temporarily until we litigate it. So, he didn't even rule.
Right.
I gotta say the end of catch and release where instructing the border patrol that they are not to be letting people go, period. You know, there are things that follow from that. They need enough detention space to detain people, but that's the fundamental thing is not letting people go once you have them in custody. Because if you do, it's game over.
They'll send their selfies home and say, La Migra let us go, come on up, and they'll let you go too. So, that's the single most important thing to end right away.
Because nobody's going to spend all the money and take the risk if the odds of getting let go are low. When the odds are high, they're like, hey, it's worth it. Let's take the chance. When the odds are not that good, then some people will still do it, but it's not going to be as attractive, and so you're not going to have the huge numbers we've been seeing.
There's two ways they used it, either at the Mexican border, like your footage is showing here, or people who flew over the border and came to airports. It's over a million people because there's different pieces of it, but it's well over a million people came in that way. And they got work permits too. They were paroled in. It's astonishing.
And the rationale from Biden was, well, this is how we reduce illegal crossings at the border. Well, sure, if you just let everybody in, there's no more illegal immigration. It was crazy. So that stopped right away. I mean, they stopped that at, you know, 12.01 on Monday afternoon.
Yeah, no, that was their rationale. Was this how we reduce illegal border crossings by just letting people line up and come through the ports of entry and schedule their illegal immigration? It's bananas. All right, so that's been kicked to the curb.
That's one of the two uses of CBP-1 was this Cuba-Haiti-Nicaragua-Venezuela program where they didn't even have to go to the border. They just were able to fly over the border into the United States and They didn't have to come from Haiti or Venezuela. We actually got, we had to submit a Freedom of Information Act request.
