Sending $100 Billion?
00:05:11

|
| 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. | |

Ruin And Repel

|
|
| 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? | |
