Do you also hate brown people now?

Because

That's the situation that they've created.

And then even most recently you saw with J.D.

Vance's wife speaking on the stage at the Republican convention and the headlines that came out of that is she's talking about her immigrant parents who came from India.

She grew up in San Diego and all of this and how grateful she is for the life that they were able to provide and so on.

The headlines were essentially, gosh, isn't she such a hypocrite where she's speaking at a convention where they are calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants as she is telling the story of her immigrant family, which again just begs the question, like, why?

Do they just not understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration, the rule of law?

And I refuse to believe that they are that stupid.

So it really points to that bigger question like, okay, well, why is it that they're creating this narrative that anybody who supports secure borders is a racist who hates brown people?

There have been different serious efforts at fixing our, because our legal immigration system is very, very broken.

I have a friend who, I don't know how long he's been in the army.

He's a Green Beret warrant officer, I think 32, 33 years of service.

He is retiring.

His wife's family or her sister lives in Italy, I believe.

married, kids, kids in school, they have a home, jobs, et cetera, an established life.

They applied for tourist visas to come and attend his retirement ceremony and were denied.

They wanted to come for two weeks to the United States to attend this significant life event of their loved one, and they were denied.

oh, well, you know, we don't have proof of like, you know, whatever.

I don't even know what the reason was.
