Matt Walsh show the chaos in Los Angeles isn't just being driven by illegal immigrants. There are plenty of legal immigrants in the mix too. We need to completely reframe the discussion around immigration. Illegal immigration is not the only problem, and we'll talk about that also. A major international pride event happened in D.C. a few days ago. The turnout was a third of what the organizers hoped for, and it's been repeatedly claimed that illegal immigrants in California actually aren't illegal because California originally belonged to Mexico. This reasoning is flawed and many different ways. It shows us yet again how the school system has totally failed to instill even the most basic understanding of history. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh this Father's Day give Dad a year of uncensored ad free truth.

Find your purpose at Grand Canyon University Private christian affordable visit gcu.edu when you're talking about any political issue, whether it's about immigration or foreign policy or anything else, one of the hardest things to do is step back and recognize how the debate has been framed. This is part of the conversation that takes place before you get involved. The Overton window is set. Mainstream national news sources, politicians, various activist groups all work together to set the acceptable boundaries of dialogue. And they're very good at it. You often don't even realize what they're doing, or at least you often don't realize what they're doing until some kind of catastrophic event takes place. The kind of event that makes their manipulation too obvious to ignore. Now, at this point, it's safe to say that the very sudden descent of Los Angeles into anarchy, or at least further anarchy, is. Is one of those kinds of events. In particular, it's the kind of domestic disaster that suggests it's time to reassess how the debate over foreign migration has been framed over the past few decades. After all, neither political party warned us that U.S. immigration policy would turn major American cities into war zones in the span of just a couple of generations. That was not on the menu of possible outcomes that were ever presented to us. Instead, the people in charge were careful to silence any dissenters, like Pat Buchanan. They were cast out as crazies, not to be trusted. And now, after all these years, we're finally seeing undeniable proof that actually, people like Pat Buchanan were right about immigration policy all along. Our leaders were either inept or they were deliberately trying to destroy the United States. In either case, their framing is no longer relevant. Therefore, it's time for a new way of looking at foreign migration. You know, the old way of looking at it in almost every mainstream context has been to defend. To defend legal migration, while acknowledging that illegal migration is undesirable. And in practice, it's always been a debate between pro amnesty, pro open borders Democrats, on the one hand, who prefer to award legal status to foreign nationals, thus erasing their status as illegal aliens, and then pro enforcement conservatives, who want to deport as many criminal aliens as possible while maintaining legal migration. In theory. And those have been your two options. And at various points, both Democrats and Republicans have had the chance to enact their proposed policies along these lines. Republicans have historically failed to enact their supposed preferred policies, while Democrats have succeeded in enacting theirs, which is why Mexican flags are currently flying over Los Angeles. So the question naturally arises, what would a more successful immigration policy look like? What is the third option that we haven't pursued and that hasn't really been presented to us, at least in mainstream discourse? Well, it's actually pretty simple. Instead of simply targeting illegal aliens The President should use his authority to immediately terminate all migration from the Third World. We should start being extremely selective about the legal migration we allow, which means not allowing an unchecked flood of Third World migration into this country. The United States has for far too long functioned as essentially a giant soup kitchen for or a homeless shelter for the entire world. And it's not sustainable. We are out of space, we are out of money, we are out of resources. And as we watch what's happening in Los Angeles, we're also out of patience. Now, for one thing, the so called legal immigration system as it currently exists is nothing more than a giant pipeline for fraud and scams. To just give one example, if you had to guess, here's a question. How many foreign nationals do you think abuse our student visa system to enter as legal migrants only to overstay their visas? What's the percentage? Well, it turns out that in the fiscal year 2023, the percentage was about 3.5%. And that might not seem like a large figure, but then you have to ask, are people from certain countries overstaying their visas at much higher rates than everybody else? That's the interesting question. And nobody seems to want to talk about it. And that's because the answer to that question tells you everything you need to know. According to DHS data, the third world is responsible for astronomical rates of visa overstays. 51% of student visas that were granted to the African nation of Chad, for example, ultimately resulted in criminal overstays. So did 24% of student visas awarded to citizens of Haiti. 21% of student visas awarded to citizens Of Venezuela, 36% of student visas awarded to citizens of Somalia. Keep in mind again that the overall rate is 3.5%. Now, in any other context, nobody would tolerate numbers like this. Imagine you ran like a small business and 36% of the time you relied on a contractor for some important service. They'd send a deadbeat to your property who refused to leave. I mean, you'd immediately stop dealing with that contractor. Obviously you'd find some other company to do business with. We're not talking about one or two bad outcomes here. We're talking about systemic fraud. And by the way, it's not like student visas are the exception. Every kind of visa is abused by the Third World every single year in large number. In the fiscal year 2022, 62% of migrants from Burma on a business or pleasure visa managed to stay in this country for too long. So did 44% of Venezuelans, 18% of Somalians, 28% of Syrians and 20% of Kenyans. Meanwhile, for comparison, the visa overstate rate on business or pleasure visas from developed countries like United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, Taiwan, Greece, France and Germany were all less than 1%. Now, I'll give you 10 guesses to figure out what could possibly explain this disparity. Although of course, as countries like UK and Germany transform into the Third World, we can expect that the disparity will probably decrease year after year. But in any case, anybody with common sense who looks at these numbers would understand immediately that migration from Third World countries, whether you call it legal or not, needs to be discontinued. The most dysfunctional countries on the planet, which obviously offer nothing to the US because they aren't even able to care for themselves, are the ones that are clearly taking advantage of us. They don't respect the rule of law. They don't respect our customs or even our language. There are very good reasons why we don't want Third World dysfunction in this country. And it doesn't matter whether or not they wait in line or take a citizenship test. That's not the most important factor. Their level of interest in our country doesn't really matter. What matters is whether these people are, on balance, coming here to contribute to our country or take from it. And the answer is usually the latter. We are a country. We are not a giant bag of goodies that they give to children at the end of a birthday party. We're not an enormous prize counter at an arcade where all the prizes are free. We cannot afford to provide and provide and provide and provide to everyone else all across the world indefinitely. We just can't do this anymore. Our cities are increasingly descending into chaos that mirrors the Third World because we have imported that chaos into our country and we have to stop. It's just that simple. Now, just to underscore the importance of reframing the migration debate, take a look at what's happened to Canada in just the past half decade. This chart shows net international migration in the country from the 1950s to the present. And as you can see in the chart, for most of Canada's history, they had migration under control, relatively speaking. And then in just a matter of four years, all of a sudden, they're completely overwhelmed. And guess what? This surge was not the result of illegal immigration. Hordes of immigrants didn't set out on pontoon boats and storm the beaches of Newfoundland. Instead, they just applied for asylum the legal way. Never mind the fact that there's no legitimate reason for most of these people to seek asylum. They simply requested asylum in unprecedented numbers. And Canada's government went along with it. The doors wide open. Canada doesn't even run criminal background checks on applicants for most visas. While, in fact, if these immigrants need asylum at all, often they need asylum from law enforcement in their own countries, which is why they're coming here or coming to Canada in this case. And this is a point that the foreign affairs minister of India made himself publicly a few months ago. Even he's looking at Canada and wondering what the hell they're doing. And he warned that they are importing a lot of criminals from his country with no vetting whatsoever. Watch.
