Tucker Carlson

It's true.

The United States did get a lot out of the consumer in the United States, did get a lot out of low-wage immigrant labor.

Fact.

There were also downsides.

But the economic case at least was coherent.

Short term, it was coherent.

You never hear that anymore because it's not true.

Most agriculture is automated.

Tech jobs are going away.

Law firms are going to start laying off people.

Meta, which you'd think would be immune from all of this because it's got a pretty great business model based on spying on you and selling your preferences to advertisers.

Meta laid off 8,000 people the other day, thanks to AI.

So this is coming for everyone.

So at that moment, to advocate for more low-wage, low-skill immigration into the United States, which I think we can say conclusively, despite the virtue or lack of thereof among the specific immigrants, I think we can say is a net cost to the United States.

There's really no debate about that at this point.

Anyone advocating for that is aggressively opposed to the interests of the population.

That's shocking, but it's happening.

And it's the same people who pushed for the war with Iran specifically.

So two weeks ago, there was a vote in the House of Representatives about whether to extend temporary protective status, TPS, to hundreds of thousands of Haitians who have been living here for quite some time.

They came here illegally.
