Episode notes
Mass Migration Raises Security Risks
- Mass migration from poorly governed countries strains vetting and increases risks like terror attacks and fraud.
- Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro argue the U.S. should sharply restrict third-world immigration and denaturalize fraudsters.
Vetting Isn't A Guarantee Against Radicalization
- Radicalization can occur after resettlement, so prior vetting isn't foolproof.
- Ben Shapiro warns mass migration plus domestic radicalizing institutions amplify terror threats.
Screen Individually, Demand Clear Benefits
