He went to Princeton. He went to Harvard Business School. He has a great job in the investment community. He was a professional tennis player. He was a concert pianist. He could do a Rubik's Cube in less than a minute. I'm not making this stuff up. These are hard facts. He can't get a green card in the United States. He's been here for 10 years or something like this.
He asked me for the best advice I could give him. I unfortunately could not give him the actual best advice, which would be to just take a and claim to be somebody who is seeking asylum in the United States. That would have been morally wrong advice, so I didn't give it to him.

But practically, if you were giving him advice, that would be the best advice that you actually could give somebody, which is a broken system on both sides. People who are going to make those contributions to the United States and pledge allegiance to the United States and speak our language and assimilate, we should have a path for them to be able to add value to the United States.

Yet they're not the ones who are getting in. It's actually the people, our immigration system selects for people who are willing to lie. That's what it does. Selects for people who are willing to see they're seeking refugee status or seeking asylum when in fact they're not. And then we have policymakers who lie after the fact using economic justifications to keep them here.

But if it was an economic justification, that should have been the criteria used to bring them in the first place, not this illusion of asylum or refugee status. There was a case actually even the New York Times reported on this, believe it or not, of a woman who came from Russia. fleeing Vladimir Putin's intolerant LGBT, anti-LGBTQ regime. She was fleeing persecution by the evil man Putin.

She came here and eventually when she was pressed on the series of lies, it came out that she was crying finally when she broke down and admitted this. She was like, I'm not even gay. I don't even like gay people. That's what she said.

And yet she was pretending to be some sort of LGBTQ advocate who was persecuted in Russia when in fact it was just somebody who was seeking better economic conditions in the United States. I'm not saying you're wrong to seek better economic conditions in the United States, but you are wrong to lie about it.

And that's what you're seeing a lot of people even in this industry of sort of quote unquote tourism to the United States. They're having their kids in the United States. They go back to their home country, but their kids enjoy birthright citizenship. That's built on a lie. You have people claiming to suffer from persecution.
