In this excerpt from The Dennis Prager Show, host Carl (the on‑air personality) argues that border security, illegal immigration, and election integrity are inseparably linked. He cites the conviction of Venezuelan illegal‑alien Jose Antonio Ibarra for the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley as a concrete example of the public‑safety threat posed by lax immigration enforcement under the Biden‑Harris administration. Carl then attacks common left‑wing arguments that illegal immigrants are needed for agricultural labor or that mass deportations would be prohibitively costly, claiming the numbers are exaggerated and that a visa‑worker program for seasonal farm work would suffice. He plays clips of Tom Homan, the self‑styled “border czar,” and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, contrasting Homan’s hard‑line stance with Wu’s refusal to cooperate with federal deportation efforts. Carl proposes a logistical plan to round up and deport large numbers of undocumented migrants, using New York City’s budget figures to argue that the expense is justified and manageable. Throughout, he frames the issue as a political battle, suggesting that unchecked immigration fuels identity‑politics, DEI, and CRT, and that addressing it is essential for preserving election integrity and public safety. The segment ends with a call to listeners to subscribe to the full show.
Chapters
I want to talk about the borders. I want to talk about border security. I want to talk about election integrity. Both of these things have to be tackled, and they're one in the same. Carl, what do you mean election integrity, border security? Listen, they're one in the same. Obviously, election integrity has some more arms that we have to delve into and work to fix, but the left ties them together, and I'll get into that in just a second. But we can praise God and say hallelujah that the murderer of Laken Riley has been found guilty of all counts. Uh, so again, uh, hat tip Breitbart. An illegal alien, uh, Tren de Aragua gang member has been convicted on all counts for murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia in February of this year. The felon had been released from the southern border into the United States by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, uh, Harris's administration. He was given a work permit, actually he and his brother. But today in Athens, Georgia, the judge found Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela, guilty of murdering Laken Riley after stalking her on an early morning jog. I listened to the 911 call, and I listened to it one time where I, you know, just being blunt with you, I was kind of sleeping in the bed but still kind of reading, and I didn't really understand what I was hearing. So, you know, when I woke up in the morning, I listened to it again. It's gruesome. It's gruesome. She fought till the end. 18 minutes. 18 minutes. Oh man, this is why, this is why the issue with Nancy Mace is so much bigger. No, I'm not saying that this congressman, congressman, and I'm intentionally saying that, that has just been newly elected from Delaware, poses that type of threat. The threat is truth. We're not going to play into this nonsense. That's over. The left doesn't get it. Wokeness failed at the ballot box. Republicans have an opportunity to squash it and make sure that this crap is no longer normalized. So they better get with the program and understand that I— listen, I know that Trump won a majority. Some people say it's a mandate. Some people say it's not. I think there are things that are mandates, a border, economy. Crime. And I think there are things that he can get done that people are like, yeah, you know, this makes sense. It's common sense. We got to end this identity politics, this DEI, this CRT nonsense. People are sick and tired of that stuff. And we should be adamant that it goes by the wayside. Okay, so some arguments that the left has been making when it comes to illegal immigration, and let me get some video clips up for you. For you in just a second. Listen, it's too costly. Listen, we need, you know, a lot of these immigrants to pick our food. Otherwise, we're going to starve to death. Guys, that's total BS. And that's only said by people who don't know what the heck they're talking about. And there's some farmers out there that I understand that will use immigrants that they've been using for quite some time. They come and work on their farms and then they go back across the border. I'm totally fine with that. I'm totally fine with a visa worker program for immigrants that come into the country to work on farms and do agricultural type work. But I got to tell you, the numbers aren't near as big as the left-wing media, mainstream media, would want you to believe. I think there's under— if I'm not mistaken, it's about 250,000. The numbers are near as big as you think. So we can send the other 14 million home. Adios, bye-bye, sayonara, see you later. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. Don't keep buying into these arguments. I have to double-check that number, but I believe I'm not too far off. I think there's 1.7 million total in some type of related field to agriculture, farming, um, or of that nature. But quite frankly, weren't we doing okay during the Trump era? Are you telling me that over 10 million illegals that invaded our country at the behest of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are all of a sudden necessary, or the United States will collapse? Crazy. Let's go to video clip number 4. This is Tom Homan responding to Boston Mayor Wichele Wu, the same that said— and many of these, uh, left-wing radicals are saying like J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, the governor, saying, listen, we're not going to participate. We're not going to cooperate with the federal government when it comes to mass deportation efforts. Video clip. This is Tom Homan, new border czar, responding. Video clip for, please, Mr. McConnell.
Defending our residents every possible way. Well, she's not very smart. I'll give her that because I just— what I just said is President Trump's going to prioritize public safety threats. What mayor or governor doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities? I mean, that's your number one responsibility is to protect your communities. And that's exactly what we're going to do. So if she helps us, she gets the hell out of the way because we're going to do it. And look, there's a clear line here and they can't cross a clear line. I would suggest she read Title 8, United States Code 1324(iii) that says, you know, you can't harbor, conceal an illegal alien from federal law enforcement officers. So I hope she don't cross that line. They cannot cooperate, but there are certain laws in place that they can't cross, and I hope she doesn't cross it.
But all right, so that was Tom Holman. And actually, I did have the video of Mayor Wu. Let's play that real quickly, please, guys. Number 5, Boston Mayor Wu says the city won't go along with Donald Trump.
What will Boston's response be if these mass deportations take place? Yeah, look, elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities— no individual city can reverse or override some parts of that. But what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and, and having large-scale economic impact. And then we are providing the spaces to reach out directly to our residents because the last thing we want is for people who are part of our economy, part of our school system, part of our community and the fabric of our city to feel that all of a sudden they have to retreat into the shadows because of fear that reaching out to city services, whether it's calling 911 when you need it or taking your child to school, those are all city services that have nothing to do with immigration enforcement and we will continue to protect our residents within those spaces.
Okay, so that's Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. I said, I, you know, I would offer to Trump and Borders R Tom's, our incoming Borders R, that we stage an area, that we take all the illegals from New York and stage them there. The ones that we're going to deport, stage them in Boston. Let them get a taste of their own medicine. Let Michelle Wu really experience it. And then we go from there. We let them be overcrowded. These people will sing a different song as soon as they're overwhelmed by illegal immigration. But these people need votes, and that's why it goes with election integrity. I'll get to that in just a sec. But let's debunk a few things. Okay, it's going to cost too much. First off, this is my argument to the left when it comes to deporting illegal aliens that invaded the country. We can't afford not to do it. Oh, Carl, it's going to cost too much. Listen, let's give New York City for an example. The New York Police Department's budget, uh, for, for 2023 was, I believe, was either $5.3 or I believe it was $5.3 billion. Uh, that's what, or this year New York City has spent $4 billion thus far on illegal immigrants that have come in during the Biden-Harris administration. All right, frankly, I think the costs are worth it. Yes, it's going to be expensive. It's something that has to be done. It's a logistical impossibility to do this. No, it's not. You enforce the laws. Some people are going to self-deport, um, and, and then we can just round them up 100,000 at a time. Get the criminals out first. We can do it.
