Latest / Brian Thomas / Inside Scoop with Breitbart News - Immigration Expert Neil Munro
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Neil, I was just going over the statistics on Sean W.
- 0:02Speaker 1: 's announcement yesterday. It's a subject matter you wanted to
- 0:04Speaker 1: talk about since you are Breitbart News immigration expert. I
- 0:07Speaker 1: wrote the articles you wrote on this. So we have
- 0:10Speaker 1: two different categories. We have schools that are shut down
- 0:13Speaker 1: because they didn't follow through with the federal mandate that
- 0:17Speaker 1: anybody who graduates with a commercial driver's license must speak English.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And then we have the other category of driving schools
- 0:23Speaker 1: that were effectively like the leering centers in Minneapolis. They
- 0:26Speaker 1: didn't have even space to park a truck, let around,
- 0:30Speaker 1: teach people how to drive trucks, nor do they have
- 0:32Speaker 1: classroom space. So they were basically perpetrating fraud in the
- 0:36Speaker 1: American people. Your take on all this, Neil?
- 0:42Speaker 2: Humans are rational, self-serving actors. Of course this was going
- 0:48Speaker 2: to happen. And the prior administration should have known, probably
- 0:54Speaker 2: did know, and probably didn't care. So at Breitbart, I
- 0:59Speaker 2: write a lot about migration. And the important thing is
- 1:02Speaker 2: not the details. It's that government doesn't care. The prior
- 1:08Speaker 2: administration deliberately went out of their way to import as
- 1:16Speaker 2: many people as they could, to stuff them into as
- 1:20Speaker 2: many jobs in every corner of the economy as they could.
- 1:25Speaker 2: And so the detailed questions of how does this work,
- 1:28Speaker 2: what's the proper way to do it, what's the safe
- 1:31Speaker 2: way to do it, were simply unimportant to the prior administration.
- 1:39Speaker 2: The information, as they investigate more, they'll discover more bad stuff.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Well, each and every day, Neil, we're discovering more bad stuff,
- 1:47Speaker 1: connection with the illegal immigrant population. You know, And I'll
- 1:50Speaker 1: be the first person to scream out loud at someone
- 1:52Speaker 1: who's going, you're a racist, you're a racist. Neil, you
- 1:54Speaker 1: know this as well as I do. This has nothing
- 1:56Speaker 1: to do with the racial background of any person who
- 1:58Speaker 1: came into our country legally or illegally. It is the
- 2:01Speaker 1: criminal subset of the broader category of people that we're
- 2:04Speaker 1: talking about here, people who would rip us off. And
- 2:08Speaker 1: I can't abide that from anyone at all, white, black, Hispanic, Somalian, Haitian.
- 2:12Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I'm not condemning all of the classes
- 2:15Speaker 1: of people. I'm condemning the criminal element, the subset of
- 2:18Speaker 1: anyone in here. And here we can condemn U.S. companies
- 2:21Speaker 1: who are taking advantage of American taxpayers by, well, cheating
- 2:25Speaker 1: the system, promising things through various government programs and not
- 2:29Speaker 1: doing a damn thing, just picking up paychecks.
- 2:32Speaker 2: It's much worse than that. So this is about incentives.
- 2:37Speaker 2: The federal government set up a system where trucking companies
- 2:43Speaker 2: were under intense pressure to cheat or go bankrupt. If
- 2:47Speaker 2: your neighboring firm suddenly has a supply of Indian asylum
- 2:53Speaker 2: seekers or Mexican refugees who will drive across the country
- 2:58Speaker 2: in groups of two or three, never stopping for even
- 3:01Speaker 2: a toilet break, they're going to get an advantage over you.
- 3:06Speaker 2: You're going to fire your workers or you're going to
- 3:09Speaker 2: go bankrupt. The government deliberately messed up the basic labor
- 3:16Speaker 2: market and economic system because it wanted to import as
- 3:21Speaker 2: many migrants as possible. This was a malevolent, reckless policy.
- 3:26Speaker 2: It affected law-abiding companies and fly-by-night companies. It's astounding that
- 3:34Speaker 2: it happened and that they got away with it.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Well, would you, Neil, say that this is a corollary
- 3:40Speaker 1: or a just sort of something that naturally occurred, these
- 3:45Speaker 1: commercial driver's licenses going to illegal immigrants and impacting our workforce,
- 3:50Speaker 1: intentionally for that purpose, in other words, to benefit corporate
- 3:53Speaker 1: America who hires the truck drivers. They get a benefit
- 3:56Speaker 1: that they don't have to comply with sleep obligations, rest stops, well,
- 4:01Speaker 1: even English language requirements. And, of course, one can presume,
- 4:04Speaker 1: and many people have, that they work for less money
- 4:07Speaker 1: because of their illegal status. Or is this a subset
- 4:10Speaker 1: of the broader concern that the Democrats were all about
- 4:13Speaker 1: opening the borders just sort of to substitute the American
- 4:16Speaker 1: population and the American way of life? Is it one
- 4:18Speaker 1: or both, or is it a combination of both, Neil?
- 4:21Speaker 2: Oh, Washington's big enough for it to be both. And
- 4:25Speaker 2: here's the way it works. There's many ways it works.
- 4:30Speaker 2: They sent a guy to India to be ambassador, okay? So,
- 4:35Speaker 2: This guy has every incentive to get along well with
- 4:38Speaker 2: the Indian government, to make things run smoothly, because he's thinking,
- 4:43Speaker 2: as soon as my gig is up, I want to
- 4:45Speaker 2: be in tight with India and foreign policy. And so
- 4:48Speaker 2: what does he do? He allows a large number of
- 4:53Speaker 2: Indians to fly to America to ask for asylum. And
- 4:58Speaker 2: once they ask for asylum, they get drive, they get
- 5:02Speaker 2: work permits. And so we have tens of thousands of
- 5:05Speaker 2: Sikhs driving across the country. This is a big thing
- 5:10Speaker 2: for India. It means there are towns in India where
- 5:13Speaker 2: they're getting money on dreamed of amounts of dollars from
- 5:19Speaker 2: low-wage truckers driving across the country.
- 5:24Speaker 3: If we suddenly say, I'm sorry, we're going to close
- 5:28Speaker 3: down this loophole of Sikh drivers driving across the country,
- 5:32Speaker 3: then the Indian government will get mad because it has
- 5:35Speaker 3: an economic policy of sending people to America.
- 5:38Speaker 2: The Democrats, they all know this. And part of the
- 5:42Speaker 2: way they talked about this was the chief, Biden's chief
- 5:46Speaker 2: border guy is responsible for all of this. He said, look,
- 5:50Speaker 2: we want a Canadian style immigration system where companies have
- 5:56Speaker 2: all the workers they possibly want. of course you're going
- 6:02Speaker 2: to wreck the entire system. I mean, when you're inviting
- 6:05Speaker 2: poor people, rational, desperate, hardworking poor people from around the
- 6:09Speaker 2: world to get on the US freeways so they can earn,
- 6:13Speaker 2: by their standards, a fortune of a dollar an hour,
- 6:16Speaker 2: of course it's going to happen. To stop this kind
- 6:20Speaker 2: of thing, to stop the pressure, to stop... Well, To
- 6:29Speaker 2: protect the U.S. labor market, you have to be very aggressive.
- 6:32Speaker 2: You have to be very determined because there's just such
- 6:36Speaker 2: a massive incentive for poor, hardworking people to sneak into
- 6:41Speaker 2: the United States and work from.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Well, as to this, your comment about the Sikh population
- 6:47Speaker 1: and the Indian government getting involved in criticizing and complaining
- 6:50Speaker 1: to the American government about cracking down on and enforcing
- 6:54Speaker 1: our own laws on the books. Neil Munro, Breitbart immigration expert,
- 6:58Speaker 1: are you telling me the volume of illegal immigrants from
- 7:01Speaker 1: the Sikh community is so large that the Indian government
- 7:04Speaker 1: would recognize the financial impact of us cracking down and
- 7:06Speaker 1: enforcing our own laws?
- 7:09Speaker 2: Well, yes, because local families and local politicians complain. So
- 7:16Speaker 2: a couple of months ago when a Sikh driver killed
- 7:19Speaker 2: a couple of people in America, it was an issue
- 7:22Speaker 2: in India because of local politics in Gujarat. Thousands of
- 7:28Speaker 2: families were worried their Sikh driver son was going to
- 7:32Speaker 2: get arrested and deported. But even then, the Sikh drivers
- 7:36Speaker 2: is only a drop in the ocean. For India, they
- 7:40Speaker 2: have a massive population of over a billion people. They
- 7:43Speaker 2: are doing their best to get as many people out
- 7:46Speaker 2: of India into the United States, whether as doctors, hotel clerks,
- 7:52Speaker 2: software people, accountants, you name it. because they want to
- 7:56Speaker 2: grow their economy by hooking up India's labor market to
- 8:01Speaker 2: the U.S. economy. So far, they've got 6 million people
- 8:05Speaker 2: in the United States. And so in all of this,
- 8:10Speaker 2: within this Indian strategy, any perturbance, any effect, any problem
- 8:16Speaker 2: caused by American pushback becomes a top concern for the
- 8:20Speaker 2: Indian government. And so it's a high priority of the
- 8:23Speaker 2: Indian government to try and reduce the public backlash to
- 8:30Speaker 2: these dangerous truckers. And as part of this, for Duffy
- 8:37Speaker 2: and Mark Wayne Mullen to come out and say, this
- 8:41Speaker 2: has killed 239 Americans, we're shutting down hundreds of schools,
- 8:45Speaker 2: we're going to stop this, we're taking 30,000 drivers out
- 8:48Speaker 2: of service, etc. What they're doing is generating political pressure
- 8:55Speaker 2: from India last night. Well, basically, we can see the
- 8:59Speaker 2: Indian lobbyists floating around Washington looking, trying to calm the
- 9:06Speaker 2: migration situation. Look, in politics, the knee bone is connected,
- 9:11Speaker 2: the thigh bone is connected, the arm bone, whatever. It's
- 9:14Speaker 2: all connected. And the fact that the administration is fighting
- 9:18Speaker 2: back on the drivers is a good thing. It's just a...
- 9:24Speaker 2: It's like... Washington rarely does sort of things that make
- 9:28Speaker 2: you smile and say, you know, that's a good thing. Wow.
- 9:33Speaker 2: But amid all the furor and the rushing and the crashing,
- 9:38Speaker 2: they are doing some good things. They fixed the border.
- 9:44Speaker 2: They're working on the trucking issue. They're dealing with other
- 9:48Speaker 2: aspects of migration. Well.
- 9:51Speaker 1: And also creating job opportunities for Americans in the trucking business.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I saw this quote from Brad Delka, who's the financial
- 9:57Speaker 1: officer for J.B. Hunt Transport Services, a large trucking company.
- 10:01Speaker 1: They have reached out to all types of folks to
- 10:03Speaker 1: increase and recruit drivers here in the United States, stepping
- 10:06Speaker 1: up efforts for driver recruitment and offering higher wages to
- 10:10Speaker 1: Americans who have passed their commercial driving test and know
- 10:13Speaker 1: how to speak English. That's a positive development for people
- 10:16Speaker 1: who want to make a decent living driving a truck,
- 10:17Speaker 1: is it not?
- 10:19Speaker 2: That's what government is for, to enforce law and order. And,
- 10:24Speaker 2: you know, the trucking industry, I sit in this chair
- 10:28Speaker 2: writing articles and I remember them saying, oh, there's a
- 10:30Speaker 2: shortage of drivers. We need to allow 17 year olds
- 10:33Speaker 2: to drive trucks. So you can't trust anyone in this business.
- 10:39Speaker 2: But what you want to see is the trucking companies complaining.
- 10:44Speaker 2: You want them to say, oh, we don't have enough truckers. Oh,
- 10:48Speaker 2: we're in terrible trouble. Because if they're complaining, then it's
- 10:52Speaker 2: more likely they're going to do the obvious. Hire Americans,
- 10:57Speaker 2: train them for truckers. And that's not just it. The
- 11:01Speaker 2: foreign truckers create chaos in the day-to-day trucking business. Not
- 11:08Speaker 2: just the accidents, but they undercut. There's a lot of
- 11:11Speaker 2: cargo theft. I mean, there's just a lot of cargo
- 11:15Speaker 2: theft because... The buyers and centers don't know who is
- 11:20Speaker 2: who anymore. A while ago, under administration pressure, the Supreme
- 11:25Speaker 2: Court said the brokers who hire freelance truckers to move
- 11:31Speaker 2: goods from A to B are financially responsible when those
- 11:35Speaker 2: truckers do stupid stuff.
- 11:39Speaker 1: There you go.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Accidents.
- 11:41Speaker 1: The civil tort system in the United States of America.
- 11:44Speaker 1: That's a pressure to be borne down on these companies,
- 11:46Speaker 1: is it not? Neil, I hate to cut you off,
- 11:49Speaker 1: but that's an excellent point. We'll have to end on
- 11:51Speaker 1: that one since we're out of time. Breitbart News, immigration expert.
