 Let's talk about this deal negotiated by Senators Lankford, Murphy, and Sinema. I understand that you have issues with it. A lot of people have issues with it. The National Border Patrol Council, which is the Union for Border Patrol Agents, which is a very conservative group, they support this legislation. They say this is better than nothing. It should become law. Are you saying that the Border Patrol Union is wrong? Yes. A human. If that's what they still believe, they're wrong. It's not better than nothing. Look, there are some things in that bill that we should do. You know, change the asylum standard and the like. Here's what else the bill did. You know, the bill basically creates an asylum core. Okay? It creates a bunch of, you know, thousands of bureaucrats, basically agents, asylum agents that would be empowered right at the border to either allow people into the country with an immediate work permit. Today, they got to wait six months. You give them an immediate work permit. You're going to have more people coming. That's a huge magnet. Or they have the power to immediately release them and grant them asylum, which now puts them on a five-year path to citizenship, which is what a lot of Democrats want. They want to turn a bunch of illegal immigrants into voter, into citizens, into voters in the hopes that those people will then turn around and vote for them in future elections. Grateful because they'll know who let them in. That's a huge problem. That doesn't solve the border. It makes it worse. This doesn't provide a path to citizenship for any of these people, to clarify, but it raises... Yes, it does. Absolutely it does. Now, yes, it does. When you have asylum, you are on a path to citizenship. An asylum, when you get asylum, you are a year away from a green card and four years away from citizenship. Absolutely it does. But you said you approved of the asylum changes. And it's bureaucrats without the power to grant you asylum. Not even a judge, a bureaucrat. But the judges, as you know, are not judges per se. They're immigration judges. They are... It's a different kind of judge. It's basically an immigration attorney who's empowered to be an immigration judge. You know that, but you said that you liked the changes to asylum. I mean, they raised the standard for asylum. The people who support this bill say it is much needed. Senator Lankford calls it by far the most conservative border security bill in four decades. Tapper's totally wrong on this, and let me explain why. 95% of the people who are coming right now don't meet the standards that we already have. The number of people who are actually given asylum is around 40%. Because all someone has to do is convince, quote, immigration officials that they have a, quote, credible fear of returning home, which can and is broadly interpreted. Even according to Obama, that's not what asylum was meant for. And as I explained to my fellow presidents, under U.S. law, we admit a certain number of refugees from all around the world based on some fairly narrow criteria. And typically, refugee status is not granted just based on economic need or because a family lives in a bad neighborhood or poverty. It's typically defined fairly narrowly. You have a state, for example, that was targeting a political activist and they need to get out of the country for fear of prosecution or even death. And yet all of these people are still being let in under the guise of asylum. So yeah, raising the standards for asylum won't matter because they already don't meet those standards and the people at the border are letting them in anyway. Joe Biden, Democrats, and the media have been totally okay with this up until now when they're trying to pass blame off onto the Republicans. And I think we've talked about the reason for that on this channel many times. Marco Rubio just alluded to it. That Democrats want this unrelenting flow into the country and that whites become a minority because they think that's going to turn the red states blue and give them a permanent majority. And the wave still continues. It's not going to stop, nor should we want it to stop. An unrelenting stream of immigration, non-stop. Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stuff. White people will be replaced as the majority of the people in the country. That's not racist to say that, just as a fact. The question becomes, why are you so upset about that? The census that just came out especially drives home the point that Texas is next. It's a state where the demographics are changing in ways that are favorable to the Democratic Party. Demographic changes that help the Democrats. Democrats for a decade now along with Arizona and Texas have had on this sort of long-term project of trying to take some red states across the Sun Belt and flip them blue as demographic changes are taking place. It's just another one of the ways the Democrat Party is trying to achieve a one-party state. It includes, of course, the 2013 compromise that you negotiated as part of the Gang of Eight. This bill would have allowed the administration to temporarily shut down the border. It included funding for the border wall. It would have made it much more difficult to claim asylum. It added detention beds. It added ICE agents. It added deportation flights and asylum officers. And it has none of the Democratic priorities that were included in your 2013 compromise, such as a path to citizenship. Here's the thing. We already have laws on the books. We already have ICE agents. We already have a border patrol, but they're not doing their jobs. In fact, the federal border patrol was actually helping these people to get through defenses that were put up, which is exactly why Texas started taking defense of their own border. Why isn't that a win for Republicans? Well, first of all, you went through a list of long things that I don't agree with. First of all, it doesn't shut down the border. It creates the ability to shut down the border, but it also gives the president the ability to say, we're not going to do it. The emergency is suspended because it's not in our national interest to do this. By the way, you still have the process, I believe, 1,400 illegal immigrants today, even in one of these emergencies, and it goes away in three years. The other thing it does is it doesn't touch the parole program, which is one of the loopholes the president has used to release all these people into this country. He's paroling them in. That's not even asylum. You talk about the asylum, about the judges, the immigration judges. Here's the difference. Those judges, their decision can be overruled by the attorney general. The attorney general could actually step in and overrule them. These asylum officers that they're this asylum corps they're going to create, they can't even be overturned by the attorney general. These people would have the power right at the border to grant people asylum. And a lot of people don't talk about that, but it's right there in the law. It does that. As far as the standard of, yeah, it's good to change the standard, but it's going to be applied. And it ultimately is going to be applied by an administration that has proven its unwillingness to enforce our immigration laws. This entire crisis began in January of 2021, when the president decided for the first time in American history that we were going to release every virtually 85, 90% of any migrant that crossed the border, including single men. This would change that, right? But this would change that. Isn't this better than the status quo? No, it would not change that. How would it change that? It would not change that. Because it would allow more people to be turned back and return to the country they came from, because the asylum claim standard is so much higher. No, again, these people already don't meet the standard for asylum, which is already pretty high. Like I showed you in that clip from Obama, asylum was never meant for economic migrants or people trying to get out of bad neighborhoods. It's specifically for people who have been targeted by their government due to some intrinsic quality. But now with Democrats in control, asylum has just become a magic word that these people can use to jump ahead of the immigration line and become good Democrat voters. It is not so much higher. Again, it's going to be interpreted at the border by people who've shown a propensity to interpret it very liberally. That's the reason why they're letting them in now. Because they're basically saying, we think you might have a chance at asylum. We're going to release you. Now, in the hands of another administration, perhaps that asylum standard could be applied differently. But ultimately, once you have this asylum core hired by my orcas, hired by Biden, put at the border, they will have the power. If they want, they will have the power to either release people pending a future hearing with an immediate work permit which is going to draw hundreds of thousands of more people into our country, or they are going to be able to give them asylum right there and then on the spot. And that is a pathway to citizenship. Asylum is a pathway to citizenship. Here's the facts. Immigration exploded under Joe Biden's regime who took 12 executive order actions to reverse Trump-era immigration policies that were keeping the numbers significantly lower. And as we well know, Democrats for years now have openly expressed their desire to flood the country with illegal immigration and openly admitting this will benefit them politically. Lastly, this bill would have done nothing but arbitrarily raise some standards that already aren't being enforced when they're slightly lower standards. Obviously, for their own political gain.
