Part 7/13:
Immigration policy is framed as a sovereignty issue: control of borders is fundamental to national independence. The motivation to attract talented entrepreneurs and professionals hinges on a balanced and fair system. The speaker advocates for ending open-door policies that currently incentivize illegal crossings, calling for a focus on “cultural fit” and the importance of integrating newcomers. The goal is a sustainable, merit-based system that emphasizes ballot box accountability, rather than populist dog whistles rooted in racism.
