| Religion doesn't matter. | ||
| Everyone has his choice to become a Muslim, Christian, Guish. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not in Somalia, though. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a lot of persecution in Somalia. | |
| A lot of people... | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Yeah, because it's not the government. | ||
| It's some terrorist guys who are there. | ||
| We came from there because of terrorism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you're coming because you're trying to escape terrorism? | |
| Yeah, of course, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We met some people from Afghanistan whose family were murdered by the Taliban. | |
| Has any of your family been attacked by terrorists in Somalia? | ||
| My uncle was killed by terrorists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By what, ISIS al-Shabaab? | |

unidentified
|
Your uncle was killed. | |
| By Al Shabaab. | ||
| And so you're trying, is that one of the main reasons why you want to come to America? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Is terrorism? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| You feel unsafe in Somalia? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not safe there. | |
| It's not safe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you all related? | |
| No. | ||
| Just friends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you travel together? | |
| We met everyone. | ||
| We met some places. | ||
| So we came here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And everybody's from Somalia? | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What about your family? | |
| My family. | ||
| My mother is in Somalia. | ||
| And then my brother is somewhere in Kenya. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How did you learn English? | |
| I was... | ||
| I went to school. | ||
| Yeah, I went to school. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In Somalia? | |
| Yeah, and in Kenya. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, in Kenya. | |
| You went to school in Kenya? | ||
| Yeah, and Somalia too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So all of your family, for the most part, is still in Somalia, in Kenya? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you made this trip alone? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Did it cost a lot of money? | ||
| I mean, you said it did? | ||
| 15,000. | ||
| 15,000. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How did you get the money? | |
| I mean, you said you're 20 years old? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a lot of money. | |
| Most people here, even in the United States, don't have $15,000. | ||
| The people, the relatives in America, the Islam in Somalia, they contribute the money. | ||
| They told me to start a business, but I didn't see the opportunity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So your family gave you all the money? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| My family supported me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What kind of work would you like to do in the U.S., besides a politician? | |
| If I can go to the offices and do something, it will do me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anything for me. | |
| And what happens you're gonna go and they may not let you in? | ||
| So what happens if you get detained in Texas at the border? | ||
| What are you gonna do? | ||
| There's nothing I can do. | ||
| If I'm detained, what can I do? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think will happen to you? | |
| Return to me Mogadishu. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mogadishu? | |
| Or Somalia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They'll put you on a plane? | |
| Send you back? | ||
| I don't see that as a border. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| You like Yohan Omar. | ||
| What do you think about Joe Biden? | ||
| Joe Biden? | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| He's a good president, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| You know, I don't follow the American politics, but I can see he's a good president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think he has made it easier for illegal aliens like yourself to come? | |
| No, we can't say illegal aliens. | ||
| It's just refugee going there, seeking for good life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But even if you are identifying as a refugee, it's still illegal immigration. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so it's a crime. | |
| Yeah, because it's trying to help. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You understand, though, that even if you want a better life, you're still committing a crime by trying to come into the country. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And how does that make you feel, though? | |
| It's trying. | ||
| It feels me. | ||
| Better, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You feel good about it? | |
| Yeah, yeah, of course, good. | ||
| Because I'm getting a better life there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but other people in America have to pay for that, like the taxpayers. | |
| So do you still think it's acceptable to commit a crime and enter the United States illegally? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| One time when I get the legal... | ||
| Identification of America, like passport or citizenship. | ||
| I'll pay the tax and people can come. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you want to try to get, you want to try to be a legal citizen? | |
| Yeah, legal citizen. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you come because of Joe Biden? | |
| Did everybody hear about Joe Biden saying, come on? | ||
| Is that what it was? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's one One reason we are coming. | ||
| Reasons are a lot, but one of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you came because Joe Biden said our borders are open? | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think about President Trump? | |
| President Trump? | ||
| By the time he was president, I was young. | ||
| I didn't flow the politics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who do you think is better for illegal immigrants, Trump or Biden? | |
| Biden, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Would you like to see Biden win the 2024 election? | |
| Of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I hope he comes back, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because he's trying to make it easier for us, for the migrants to come to America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For the migrants? | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think about Sharia law? | |
| Who? | ||
| Sharia. | ||
| Sharia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sharia law. | |
| Sharia law is just... | ||
| What can I say? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you like Sharia? | |
| Nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you like Sharia? | |
| No. | ||
| Let me tell you, Sharia, that's Arabic word. | ||
| Sharia means the Koran. | ||
| So, yeah, of course I like the Koran. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Perhaps they do want to just leave for a better life, but what about all the other people that actually are terrorists from these countries that have terrorist sympathies or terrorist ideologies? | |
| Are they getting through? | ||
| Are they being fingerprinted? | ||
| How are they getting into our country? | ||
| Terrorist organizations have a lot of funding, obviously, and so it makes it easier. | ||
| The more money that you have, the easier it is for you to get into the country. | ||
| You're not going to have to sit around and wait in a migrant camp as long. | ||
| Because there's going to be smugglers and people who get you in. | ||
| So how long is it? | ||
| We just showed you all the people from Iran and Afghanistan and Somalia. | ||
| How long is it going to be before we have another 9-11 in America? | ||
| It's coming. | ||
| And people better wake up. | ||
| And I hope that these videos really open your eyes. | ||
| We need to close the borders. | ||
| They are being encouraged by Joe Biden. | ||
| You hear the words come out of their mouth. | ||
| They love Joe Biden because Joe Biden is pushing open borders and is telling them to come. | ||
| You've heard it from the Iranian. | ||
| You heard it today from the Ecuadorians, from the Colombians, from the Venezuelans, and now the Somalis. | ||
| This is a major national security threat and we are likely going to have another 9-11 style terrorist attack in our nation. | ||
| Hopefully, we don't. | ||
| But unfortunately, from my conversations with people like Michael Yang and Tom Homan and other immigration experts and national security experts, and also people who formerly worked in DHS, Homeland, FBI, it's here. | ||
| We have active terror cells in America, and it's only a matter of time before an attack happens. | ||
| So stay tuned. | ||
| I'll be providing more updates. | ||
| I'm here all week. | ||
| Probably, what, 200 feet walking into the camp and this is what I've already encountered. | ||
| Just imagine, right? | ||
| And there's over a thousand people a day right now from the current estimates, from our conversations with Centerfront today, a thousand people a day coming in through the Darien. | ||
| Just imagine. | ||
| Imagine. | ||
| You're not going to really be able. | ||
| It's not like they have a ton of staff here processing. | ||
| There's going to be people that slip through the cracks. |
