Episode notes
Conflict: Amnesty vs Deportations
- Mass amnesty is being pushed immediately after passing the Big Beautiful Bill with $175 billion for ICE deportations.
- This shows a conflicting political agenda between strong border enforcement and legalizing millions of illegal immigrants.
Reagan's Amnesty Historical Failure
- Reagan's 1986 amnesty law failed to control illegal immigration and backfired politically.
- Instead of winning Hispanic voters, it created a Democratic base benefiting from government benefits.
Commit to Difficult Deportations
- Do not buy the argument that deportations are too hard to accomplish.
- America has done difficult things before and must commit firmly to mass deportations if it values its sovereignty.
