US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says our immigration system is broken. Anyone coming to America should not be eligible to receive any handouts, zero government benefits
He explains immigration only works if you end the Welfare State
“You can’t really open the border and say, ‘I’m gonna give my money to anybody who wants to come in — That’s getting it wrong.”
“So when people say, ‘Open immigration is how we built America,’ they are right.”
“And open immigration would be something interesting if we gave people nothing.”
“Because if we gave them nothing, if they weren’t smart enough, capable, entrepreneurial enough, driven enough, they would starve to death. And so they wouldn’t stay here. They would self-deport and leave.”
“But if you’re gonna give them welfare, and you’re gonna give them food stamps, and you’re gonna give them housing, and you give them this, that, then everybody’s gonna come and just leech off of us and we’re gonna pay, and pay, and pay.”
