'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host says Biden's aid is encouraging illegal migration
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Good evening and
welcome to Tucker Carlson
tonight,
Happy Monday,
Joe Biden may have lost a step
along the way, but his handlers
work fast
within hours of the inauguration.
In January, Bidens White House
opened Americas borders to the
world, not sibling to job seekers
and gang members from Mexico and
Central America, but to varieties
of illegal migrants from all
over the Globe: Africa and Asia,
the Middle EAST,
virtually anyone who could get
to Mexico was and is admitted
into the United States without a
visa.
In some cases, foreign nationals
whose identities we cannot
verify were flown to the
interior of our country and
permanently resettled without
the permission of the people who
already live there, Americans,
how did migrants get from Congo
to Lewiston Maine and why
well because Susan Rice and
ideologues like her want to
change, means demographics, as
well as the population mix and
every other state in the union.
The administration is working to
do that by FIAT without a vote
in Congress, without public
consent of any kind.
By definition, this is the most
radical possible attack on the
core premise of democracy,
which is that citizens get to
run their own countries,
not foreigners citizens.
The leaders of the
Democratic Party no longer
believe in democracy is
constituted and they definitely
dont plan to lose another
election
as the rest of us go about our
lives. They are reporting huge
numbers of new voters into the
United States.
When you say this out loud, they
become absolutely hysterical and
call you names,
but they do that only because
its so obviously true,
unfortunately, for Susan Rice,
this is one change in the
country, thats pretty hard to
hide.
If you live within one hundred miles of
the mexican border, for example,
you watch it happen in
real time
on the border, the rule of law
has been suspended.
The american system of order an
end fairness is being mocked and
destroyed by the very people in
charge of sustaining it.
I dont have to be a
conservative republican to be
deeply offended by whats going
on
last November in Texas, many
thousands of lifelong Democrats
with mexican last names voted
for Donald Trump.
Why?
Because they knew part of a well
what the left plan to do to the
border, they were right.
They are patriotic Americans.
They didnt want to see their
country destroyed
so for the Joe Biden
Administration, this potentially
various serious clinical
problem,
most people, no matter what color
they are, who they vote for Think
Joe Bidens current immigration
policies lunacy because it is
opening the border is the single
most unpopular thing. The
White House has done so far by
far
Bidens handlers understand this
could be a disaster for them.
So this week they dispatched
Kamala Harris to Central America
with orders to pretend shes
trying to fix it
Harris. You may remember the
shallow political opportunist
from Canada.
We are often told some kind of
civil rights, hero or moral
leader
Harris flew to Guatemala to
unveil her policy.
What is it
in a word? The plan is bribery.
The administration plans to
spend billions of dollars to pay
Latin Americas poor, not to move
to the idea states.
It blames America
Kamala Harris visit to
Central America signals a new
chapter,
the channel slobbered in a
headline this morning,
theres nothing new about this.
We have seen this cartoon
before
six years ago as Barack Obamas.
Vice President Joe Biden
announced what he called a plan
for Central America in
the New York Times.
The idea at the time is the idea.
Now,
once we send billions to crop
foreign governments, their
citizens will stop showing up in
Texas and California.
We tried it.
How did it work
lets see
more people from Central America
coming over our border illegally
than at any time in decades,
possibly ever
a didnt work very well
thats obvious to everyone, but
Joe Biden who doesnt seem to
have noticed
in April. He told Congress that
his plan was of brilliant
success.
When I was vice president,
the President asked me to focus
on providing the help needed to
address the root causes of
migration.
It helped keep people in their
own countries instead of being
forced to leave.
The plan was working,
but the last administration
decided it was not worth it.
I am restoring the program and
asked Vice President Harris to
lead our diplomatic effort to
take care of it.
I have absolute confidence.
The last
administration,
okay got it.
The sentence to pay attention to
is the claim. The people from
Central America are forced to
come here.
Who are they forced to come here
by
by us? Of course,
we are not keeping up with our
bribes to the drug traffickers
who run Honduras, how its our
fault,
better, restart the payments
immediately
thats alive
foreign aid almost never
accomplishes what we pretend it
will for the people for whom
its intended,
if you think otherwise, how
about expanding Africa
for more than fifty years, the
west, the? U dot. S in particular, has
bombarded that condiment with
taxpayer and NGO money, as well
as all the stupid and very
patronizing assumptions that a a
company that money and the
result is there, a single
african country thats, better
off for it
less corrupt and more
self sufficient.
Take an hour to to check that
sometime.
If you have the time
its hard to find a single
country,
foreign aid projects are where
liberal arrogance goes to die.
They almost never work for the
people. They are supposed to work
for
sorry, they dont
it sounds like they would, but
they dont
yesterday, even
the New York Times conceded
its true,
for example, over the past ten
years, Guatemala alone has
received more than a billion and
a half dollars from USAID
whats a result of it.
A small country, poverty and
malnutrition have
risen to unprecedented levels.
Really.
Are you surprised?
When was the last time Welford
made someone stronger or happier
question at the same is true
countries
if anything, Joe Bidens aid
package encouraged illegal
migration to the United States,
Michael Clemens, fellow at the
center for global development,
studied the data and found
foreign aid focused on economic
development is actually
associated with increases in
immigration from poor
countries,
but, of course, thats true,
the only surprise is that we
would be surprised.
Healthy places are, by definition,
self sufficient places.
Dependence by contrast, reads,
misery,
thats, always true.
Misery causes people to flee
and they have
Harris is no genius, obviously,
but even she must senses.
She knows more. Bribes wont
work
instead of defending her plan on
this specifics, shes, taking a
much easier and far more
familiar road, more babbling
about racism and sexism and, of
course, climate change.
There are also long standing
issues that are often called the
root causes of emigration.
We are looking at the issue of
poverty and the lack of economic
opportunity, the issue of
extreme weather conditions and
the lack of climate adaptations
as well as corruption and the
lack of good governance
and violence against women.
Indigenous people, Lgbtq people
and afro descendants
laughs
often called the root causes of
immigration,
by whom
no honest person,
quick, Kumble, Harris Name, three
global problems of any kind, not
by racism and sexism in climate
change
and whose solutions dont make
you more powerful because thats
always the acid test.
Does the solution cost you, or
does it help you?
If it helps you everything will
time, maybe its not really a
solution?
So whats? The answer
just kidding
trick question.
Obviously there arent any
global problems that arent
associated with racism and
sexism in global climate change,
and they dont require
Kamala Harris to become a lot
more powerful.
The funny thing is, and it is
funny no one has told central
Americans this-
they think theyre coming to
Brownsville. Precisely because
Harris is the vice president.
Increased border crossings,
the change of administrations.
The message changed: we are
going to reunite families and
children.
The very next day the coyotes
were here, organizing groups of
children to take them to the
United States.
We ask the United States
government to send more of a
clear message to prevent more
people from leaving,
oh so theyre not
coming here because of sexism
in Latin America. They kind of
like the patriarchy,
Sorry Kamala Harris
theyre not coming here, because
theyre fleeing cultural or
dont like
its their culture.
They are coming here because
its a much richer and much more
generous country and how they
can come here.
So why wouldnt they
its not their fault
its ours.
If you really want to solve the
problem, the answer is pretty
simple:
you would deport people here
illegally
thats. What normal countries do
come much timed as Mexico or
Israel spend blaming itself or
people who break their loss,
not a lot of time, actually
not one. Second,
they deport people who do that
if we do, that would get the
worlds attention immediately,
because the truth is many of
these countries need illegal
immigrants in our country in
order to continue
thats how unhealthy the
economics are.
As of two thousand and nineteen remittances from
immigrants to the United States
accounted for fully twenty percent of
El Salvadors entire GDP.
Is that healthy?
Should we continue that
dont? We want an independent
El Salvador. They can feed itself
itself.
Clearly, we dont care.
The same was true essentially in
Honduras and Guatemala,
according to a recent piece that
moved on the AP wire, so many
guatemalans have left that much
of the country survives on
remittances. They sent home
once again. If you cared about
Guatemala, you would try to make
Guatemala independent.
It wouldnt make it yet another
third world countries dependent
on NGO and foreign aid money,
thats a horrible thing to do
same story in Mexico
in two thousand and eighteen, then, for the initial
candidate admitted. These
remittances are the main income
that this country has
more than oil more than
tourism.
Is that what we want for Mexico?
If you cared about Mexico, would
you want that
no
its degrading? It might be part
of the reason. Mexico is a
disaster in the middle of a drug
or ongoing for ten years.
Kamala Harris doesnt care,
so her solution is the same
solution. Give more money to the
narco states to Honduras, for
the president is under a DEA
investigation for drug
trafficking.
We are launching our call to
action for businesses to invest
in the northern triangle.
I believe that the businesses in
the private business sector have
a significant role to play in
creating jobs and promoting
economic opportunity and
long term development.
I am proud that we have
companies already in the
United States who have committed
to act.
We have Mastercard who intends
to partner across sectors to
bring five million people in the
region into the digital economy
and to support one million small
businesses
laughs.
This is hilarious
only because no one on the left
talks about economics or
understands economics,
its not even mentioned anymore,
its all race and gender
on underlying all of this is
economics.
What Harris is saying is that
big? U dot s! Companies are ready to
act selflessly, of course, to
get more cheap labor in the
third world.
They are ready to act
even as our own labor market
does things that no healthy
market would do.
Unemployment is going up even
as businesses cant find labor
to fill open jobs.
Something very ominous is
happening in our labor markets,
thats being ignored, so we can
help Honduras labor market on
behalf of El Salvador and by the
way, send more money to
governments that dont deserve
it that are corrupt and dont
serve their own people in the
hope. Theyll stop invading us.
