Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast.

Third hour Clay and Buck kicks off right now.

Everybody thanks for being with us here on this Friday.

And I had mentioned this, uh, I think actually even yesterday on the show,

um, but the situation not just at the border, but for a lot of cities across the country

because of the wide open borders continues to be, well, let's just say very challenging.

For some of these, uh, Democrat authorities out there, people who in other times,

at other places would indicate no doubt that they would want as many illegal immigrants as possible,

because what is central to the Democrat narrative is that illegal immigrants are just as beneficial

to the economy and just as legally deserving of, of everything health care and school as legal

immigrants. This is what Democrats now believe is essential to the Democrat party view of day-to-day

life in America. One of the challenges that you come across when you're trying to have a conversation

about illegal immigration in America today is at the Democrat party, the, uh, left-wing media that

supports and amplifies all their messages. They will constantly talk about this, but never,

never admit that there's any downside whatsoever to unrestricted illegal immigration in the United

States, which is what we have right now. And so one of the realities that has now unfolded is that

some of these cities that have taken these individuals in from the border who have entered illegally

and are now on some sort of internal parole effectively before they're supposed to show up in

court. It will be years. The whole thing is just, uh, is really a scam. The idea of being that

they're supposed to get status through asylum, but they're not going to get asylum status because

they're not asylum seekers. They're people who have skipped the legal immigration process entirely

and just want to stay in America. And we should always remember in clay. I'm sure you remember this
