Time Text
Hi, everybody.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
This is a new thing, isn't it?
I've never heard a president say that.
The solution to the illegal immigration problem is to make its life so good in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and presumably Mexico, that they will not want to come.
I sit almost in awe at the naivete.
And I am so generous in saying naivete because I really have more severe words to say about what I think about that idea.
How exactly could that be implemented?
What are we going to do?
I'm serious.
I don't even understand.
Send them $100 billion.
Let's say we send $100 billion to Guatemala.
Do me a favor, please.
Look up the GDP of Guatemala.
And so we send $100 billion.
Because you could print that money.
You bring it over on horseback.
It's an interesting question.
How many trunks would that be filled?
$77 billion.
There you go.
I had a feeling.
That's more than their GDP. Imagine sending a country, how about $77 billion?
We will double your GBP for free.
Here's $77 billion.
$27 billion in El Salvador.
$27 billion in El Salvador.
Oh, my God, it's even way cheaper.
Sorry?
$25 billion Honduras.
And $25 billion Honduras.
Well, my first choice is Honduras because I love Honduran cigars.
Just for the record, I have a very selfish...
I would personally help invest.
I do.
I invest in Nicaragua, which unfortunately is...
The communist government there.
And Honduras.
I help out Honduras with my cigar purchases.
But in a more serious manner, what exactly are we going to do?
I want you to know what would happen if we gave $50 billion.
So let's be realistic.
$50 billion.
Or the GDPs.
Match the GDPs.
25, 27. And whatever the Guatemala was.
Guatemala was way higher.
That's really interesting.
Guatemala's doing much better than El Salvador and Honduras?
I don't think they have that much bigger of a population, so I think they must have a more prosperous...
But they're coming from Guatemala just as much as from El Salvador and Honduras.
Now, obviously, Mexico's gigantic GDP in comparison.
But let us say we match their GDP. I'll tell you what would happen.
About half of it would immediately go to enrich government leaders.
And leaders in labor and leaders in the military pay off the people to support the state.
That is what is done in every one of these countries.
Remember Angola?
When we visited Angola in West Africa, Southwest Africa?
And we had to be escorted in Angola.
By police.
It was so dangerous.
And it's all corruption.
It's all it is.
It's just corruption.
It's really a sort of...
It's like a bailout as the bailout of California is by the Rescue America Act.
And what does it go to?
It just goes to...
Further corruption in the state of California.
That's all it does.
But I mean, realistically, my friends, what could be done?
That is his solution.
And by the way, obviously everyone knows it would take a generation.
So what happens in the course of the 20 years that a generation might constitute?
What happens?
Do we close the border or not, Mr. President?
Let us say your dream works.
We make Guatemala prosperous.
Nobody wants to leave or very few wish to leave.
In fact, Americans start going into Guatemala.
It's so prosperous.
Or Honduras.
To have an apartment in Tegucigalpa?
It's like an American dream.
Give me a condo in Tegucigalpa.
That's the capital of Honduras, by the way.
And I broadcast from there.
Remember that?
That was quite something.
All right, everybody.
1-8 Prager 776. The solution to illegal immigration in the millions is not barriers at the border of the United States.
It is to make life so good.
That people won't want to come here.
Actually, the Democrats will make life so bad here, people may not want to come here.
That's another possible solution.
That's the real Democratic solution.
Ruin America so that nobody wants to come in.
They're not stupid.
There you go.
That's the solution.
That's the Democrat solution.
Right?
