Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The first step would be to give up on the
- 0:02Speaker 1: mass deportation fantasy. About one in five fairfact residents is
- 0:07Speaker 1: someone who could be deported or who lives with them.
- 0:09Speaker 1: It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers, nurses, natives,
- 0:20Speaker 1: and teachers.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. Nice to have you with us on
- 0:27Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two major
- 0:29Speaker 3: stories for you. First up, Democrats are now admitting that
- 0:34Speaker 3: there is a massive number of illegal immigrants in this country.
- 0:38Speaker 3: In fact, in the largest county in Virginia, they're admitting
- 0:42Speaker 3: that twenty percent of the population could be deported. So
- 0:46Speaker 3: now they're saying it's impossible to do it, so they
- 0:48Speaker 3: must all stay. I'll have more on this and the
- 0:52Speaker 3: audio in just a moment. Plus what does this mean nationwide?
- 0:56Speaker 3: And how bad are the census numbers when it comes
- 0:59Speaker 3: to county illegal immigrants and how much power is that
- 1:02Speaker 3: actually giving Democrats in Washington by adding seats to liberal states.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I break it down for you. Every day Americans make
- 1:11Speaker 3: choices that shape our country's future, right down to which
- 1:15Speaker 3: cell phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't
- 1:18Speaker 3: actually realize. Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider. They're
- 1:23Speaker 3: an activist organization funded by selling top tier cell service.
- 1:28Speaker 3: They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long
- 1:31Speaker 3: before it was cool, standing up and the gap when
- 1:34Speaker 3: others wouldn't. The best part is they deliver prioritized premium

- 2:33Speaker 3: Today it's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts
- 2:37Speaker 3: right now.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Story number one.
- 2:39Speaker 3: When Donald Trump ran for president, he made it very
- 2:41Speaker 3: clear he was going to put Americans first, that was
- 2:44Speaker 3: the top of his agenda, and he was going to
- 2:47Speaker 3: make sure that people that had broken in this country,
- 2:49Speaker 3: that were here illegally, would no longer be put ahead
- 2:54Speaker 3: of Americans, they wouldn't be able to get as many
- 2:56Speaker 3: government benefits as they've been getting so far, and that
- 2:59Speaker 3: he was going to move to deport them. Well, we
- 3:02Speaker 3: have a new firestorm of an example of exactly what
- 3:05Speaker 3: President Trump was talking about. It's now erupting in Fairfax County, Virginia,
- 3:11Speaker 3: and it's rapidly becoming a national symbol in the debate
- 3:15Speaker 3: over immigration as well as the census, as well as
- 3:18Speaker 3: political representation and the future balance of power in Washington,
- 3:23Speaker 3: d C. Fairfax County is the largest county in Virginia,
- 3:28Speaker 3: sitting just outside of Washington, DC, and according to figures
- 3:32Speaker 3: now being discussed by immigration analysts and lawmakers, roughly one
- 3:38Speaker 3: in five residents I want to say that again, roughly
- 3:42Speaker 3: one in five residents in Fairfax county could potentially be
- 3:47Speaker 3: subject to deportation or removal proceedings under stricter immigration enforcement standards.
- 3:54Speaker 3: We're talking about twenty percent of the population in Virginia's
- 3:59Speaker 3: largest count right outside of Washington, d C. Are individuals
- 4:03Speaker 3: that shouldn't be in this country in the first place.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Now that staggering number has ignited outrage among critics and
- 4:12Speaker 3: current immigration policies. It's also triggered new congressional scrutiny of
- 4:17Speaker 3: sanctuary style policies in the region. There was part of
- 4:21Speaker 3: this that became very clear and a hearing on Washington,
- 4:24Speaker 3: d C. Where a Cato Institute individual said this before Congress.
- 4:31Speaker 1: The first step would be to give up on the
- 4:35Speaker 1: mass deportation fantasy. About one in five Fairfact residents is
- 4:39Speaker 1: someone who could be deported or who lives with them.
- 4:42Speaker 1: It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers, nurses, nannies,
- 4:53Speaker 1: and teachers.
- 4:54Speaker 3: This guy is mister Bayer. He's a random guy that
- 4:58Speaker 3: tells you that one one and five Fairfax residence is
- 5:01Speaker 3: someone who could be deported or lives with them. It
- 5:05Speaker 3: is not normal. The twenty percent of the largest county
- 5:07Speaker 3: in Virginia could be deported. What's even more shocking is
- 5:10Speaker 3: how not normal it is for the new argument of
- 5:14Speaker 3: the left to be, well, there's just too many illegal immigrants,
- 5:19Speaker 3: so you cannot deport them. The logic here is now,
- 5:23Speaker 3: instead of lying to you about how many illegal immigrants
- 5:27Speaker 3: are in America, the Democratic Party in the left are
- 5:30Speaker 3: now saying, we'll tell you exactly how many there are
- 5:33Speaker 3: to prove a point that there are so many illegal
- 5:36Speaker 3: immigrants that are in the United States of America that
- 5:39Speaker 3: you need to get rid of the fantasy that we
- 5:42Speaker 3: are going to actually deport all of them, and it
- 5:45Speaker 3: would destroy communities if you did it, so therefore you
- 5:49Speaker 3: cannot do it. I want to play this clip one
- 5:52Speaker 3: more time, and now that you understand the messaging here
- 5:56Speaker 3: and what their motivation is, listen to how the new
- 6:01Speaker 3: argument of the left has completely changed.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's them.
- 6:05Speaker 1: The first step would be to give up on the
- 6:07Speaker 1: mass deportation fantasy. About one in five fairfact residents is
- 6:12Speaker 1: someone who could be deported or who lives with them.
- 6:15Speaker 1: It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers, nurses, nannies,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and teachers.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Let me be clear, Let me be clear, really all right,
- 6:31Speaker 3: Republicans on Capitol Hill, now is your opportunity to use
- 6:35Speaker 3: the Fairfax County as a case study in what they
- 6:38Speaker 3: describe as the consequences of failed immigration enforcement and sanctuary
- 6:44Speaker 3: government policies. Hearings have focused on accusations now that the
- 6:49Speaker 3: local officials have no or limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities,
- 6:55Speaker 3: including ICE, while legal immigrant numbers have surged nationwide, as
- 7:02Speaker 3: Democrats seem to be now saying, we want to count
- 7:04Speaker 3: all the illegal immigrants, not underplay the number, but actually
- 7:08Speaker 3: tell you an honest number. So the problem looks so
- 7:11Speaker 3: big that it's inhumane to try to stop it.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Next story number two.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Now, behind the controversy is a much larger and an
- 7:19Speaker 3: even more explosive national issue. It is how immigration, both
- 7:25Speaker 3: legal and illegal, is reshaping political representation in the United
- 7:30Speaker 3: States of America. Now, that is the whole plan of
- 7:32Speaker 3: the Democratic Party, and right now, under the current Census
- 7:35Speaker 3: Bureau policy, every person living in the United States of
- 7:39Speaker 3: America is counting the census. That means that all citizens,
- 7:44Speaker 3: all legal immigrants, all green card holders, all refugees, all
- 7:50Speaker 3: visa holders, all asylum seekers, and this is the most
- 7:53Speaker 3: important category for Democrats. All illegal immigrants are counted. The
- 8:00Speaker 3: Census explicitly states that congressional appointment is based on counting
- 8:05Speaker 3: all persons residing in the country, regardless of citizenship status.
- 8:11Speaker 3: That matters because the census determines far more than just
- 8:15Speaker 3: population statistics. Every ten years, census totals determine something that's
- 8:21Speaker 3: extremely important, how many seats each state receives in the
- 8:26Speaker 3: House of Representatives. Those same numbers also determine the Electoral
- 8:30Speaker 3: College votes in the presidential elections, and they influence the
- 8:34Speaker 3: distribution of hundreds of billions of federal dollars. Now, just
- 8:37Speaker 3: hit pause for a second and think about this. Is
- 8:41Speaker 3: it fair to say that in Virginia there's a very
- 8:44Speaker 3: good chance that there are too many representatives in Washington
- 8:49Speaker 3: representing people of Virginia based on the number of illegal immigrants.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I think the answer is based on the evidence. It's overwhelming.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Moved to a place like California. California has a massive
- 9:01Speaker 3: number of individuals representing the state in Congress. They have
- 9:05Speaker 3: an incredible amount of power as a state. They also
- 9:08Speaker 3: have an incredible amount of power in picking the president
- 9:11Speaker 3: of the United States of America. California helps Democrats get
- 9:14Speaker 3: much closer to the finish line on election night every
- 9:18Speaker 3: single time we have a presidential election. And the reason
- 9:22Speaker 3: why there is so much power is based on the
- 9:26Speaker 3: fact that we're counting illegal immigrants. Now, more people county
- 9:31Speaker 3: means more political power, and that's exactly why you're now
- 9:34Speaker 3: hearing people like mister Bayer who are telling you the
- 9:37Speaker 3: truth on the illegal immigrant numbers because they want that power.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Organizations like the Center for Immigration Studies have argued that
- 9:46Speaker 3: immigration levels legal and illegal combined have shifted congressional seats
- 9:52Speaker 3: and electoral College votes towards high immigration states for decades.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Their analysis claim states with large non citizen populations receive
- 10:03Speaker 3: additional representation because non citizens are included in the census
- 10:06Speaker 3: counts even though they cannot vote in federal elections. California,
- 10:12Speaker 3: as I mentioned earlier, is the perfect example for this debate.
- 10:16Speaker 3: California gained enormous political influence because of population growth that
- 10:20Speaker 3: was fueled heavily by illegal immigrants. The state is also
- 10:24Speaker 3: now experiencing a major population exodus as residents leave over
- 10:29Speaker 3: the high taxes. The housing costs, crime concerns, costs of
- 10:32Speaker 3: living pressures. California actually lost a congressional seat after the
- 10:36Speaker 3: twenty twenty census for the first time in state history.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Yet analysts note that California may have lost even more
- 10:46Speaker 3: political representation if non citizens had not been included in
- 10:52Speaker 3: the census count, and it brings up an even bigger question.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Is it time for the American people, for the Republican Party,
- 11:01Speaker 3: for the president United States America to bring this debate
- 11:05Speaker 3: front and center. When you have one in five Fairfax
- 11:08Speaker 3: residence is someone that should be deported, you know you've
- 11:12Speaker 3: got a massive problem. Twenty percent of the largest county
- 11:16Speaker 3: in Virginia not a border state is a massive red
- 11:21Speaker 3: flag for other states. And the question now is not
- 11:24Speaker 3: only how many illegals are actually in this country, but
- 11:27Speaker 3: how much are they costing you as a taxpayer, and
- 11:30Speaker 3: how much are they skewing the election towards Democratic candidates
- 11:34Speaker 3: because of the census.
