Tucker Carlson and Illegal Immigration

In PragerU’s newest video, Tucker Carlson brings up a few different points pertaining to illegal immigration and the Democrat’s support of it.

First, he notes that the people protesting Trump’s strong border stance are often not informed on what they are protesting nor the history of what they call their “struggle”. He goes on to say that their chant, “Si, Se Puede”, used to mean the exact opposite when used by Cesar Chavez, a Hispanic American who fought against illegal immigration. Leftist protestors’ ignorance is not something new nor foreign to me. My Turning Point chapter recently hosted a Campus Clash event, where protestors came with signs reading “no room for fascists” and “unite to fight patriarchy and bigotry”. They, despite their burning passion to get us kicked off campus, clearly had no idea who we are. What we have are sheep who will believe anything told to them by professor, admin, or media and are what’s enabling the Democratic Party’s destruction of America.

Another point Carlson brought up is that even legal mass migration changes a country significantly, and even more so for the worse when it’s illegal immigration. When there’s a flood of illegal immigrants, wages for domestic workers go down as they have to compete with people who will work for less than minimum wage. With our current business regulations and welfare system, American workers will have a huge burden placed on their shoulders if more sanctuary cities are made and we keep giving away welfare, free healthcare, free education, and jail space. I believe that it’s essential to not only get rid of positive incentives for coming here, but to also allow people to defend themselves with firearms. In a truly capitalistic society, there are no handouts and no positive incentives like welfare- the free market is incentive enough for hard working, driven people! Thus, more good people than bad will be drawn to come here, and even the bad people that do come here can’t do economic hard since there’s no tax burden to provide for them. Their lack of relative harm to society is also contingent on the fact that people are able to defend themselves with guns against people, domestic or foreign, who want to hurt them.

Finally, he sums up the Democrats true motive for supporting illegal immigration: power. The Democratic party don’t really care about the poor, minorities, LGBT’s, etc. They care about power and will appeal to anyone who will give them their vote. America and its ideals are under attack by power hungry Democrats who lie, manipulate people, cheat, and scapegoat for a vote. This is why I believe there needs to be a huge effort among conservatives and libertarians to bring to light this reality and save America’s future.
