It was an airport hotel.

And he said the guy from Afghanistan was telling him about his experience.

He'd been flown from Afghanistan by the US government, first to Virginia, then moved to Sacramento, given a house.

They stocked his fridge.

the guy he couldn't didn't know which bit of the government and it was uh and the guy was told we would we're going to send you groceries by delivery because you shouldn't go to the grocery store because americans are racist and you shouldn't go like imagine that the government saying anyway he's then he's there he's working as the shuttle driver he says to the guy after two days can i go uh can you pay me cash

And he said, why do you want to do that?

I said, well, if I'm on payroll, then I lose my benefits, my welfare benefits.

How much is that?

$7,000 a month.

What?

84 grand a year?

Yes.

That's what he said.

So it's just bullshit, this whole thing.

The whole thing is bullshit.

Okay, so first of all, you can't have this conversation without just pointing out the extraordinary...

success of the border thing, like closing the border.

It's just an incredible example of when people say government doesn't work and government, like incredible government action that it just basically stopped, you know, this flow of illegal immigration basically stopped to zero, just with firm action that everyone said couldn't be done for decades and it's just done.

just because there's someone who's really committed to doing it and has a team that was well prepared and did it.

So that's good news.
