Has formed which the rest of us are required to believe. Get a pen. Its this. Every other country is great especially the poor and disorganized ones and the immigrants they send here are uniformly more impressive than you are, every one of them. They fight more wars, pay more taxes and start more companies than your kids ever will. So shut up with your doubts or inconvenient questions. Otherwise, well fire you. So thats what our moral betters on cable news are telling us. The question is, do they really believe that . Do they really think that all standards are arbitrary and racist and everyone from everywhere is the same level of awesome . For an answer, ignore what they say. Take instead a close look at how they live. To our elites send their own children to colleges with universal admittance policies where everybody gets in . Of course they dont. Their kids go to harvard and stanford and yale. Those are the most respected universities in the world precisely because theyre the most selective ones. Harvards acceptance rate is above 5 . They brag about how Many High School valedictorians they reject. How many Admissions Officers does harvard have that will admit poorly educated haitians that cant speak english . None. Harvard is famous and admired because its selective. In other words, it discriminates on achievement and ability. If harvard chose its students the way america chose its immigrants, our elites wouldnt send their kids there. The cache would be gone along with the quality. The same goes for corporate america. Does facebook hire by a diversity lottery . Would google apply temporary protected status to its own work force . Hiring and keeping thousands of people at no skills because theyre from impoverished background . Another dumb question. The people that run google and facebook care about their companies. The same way that people that run harvard care about their school. The one thing none of them care about is america which is why theyre demanding standards for our country they would never apply to themselves. It is sickening and hypocritical and weve had enough of it. Going forward, were going to push this countrys elites to live by the standards they espouse. If america must give citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants, harvard should given free tuition to undocumented students. If its okay to use the Public Services in your city, why is it wrong to live in a dorm at princeton would being enrolled . Jeff bezos says its not right nor the immigrants. The truth is, a ruling class supports our current immigration policy because for them its upside. Theyre not standing in line in crowded Emergency Rooms or sending their kids to chaotic Public Schools or competing for jobs for people that work less than they will. For them, open borders mean cheaper labor and bountiful household help. Unlike youre, they say theyre good people. They care. Theyre not bigots like the voters in kentucky and ohio. What a rulers need is a strong dose of reality. A sense of what their policies mean for everybody else. So lets give them that. You can send your ideas to us on twitter. You can send your tweet to at tucker carlson. Were joint tonight by caesar vargas. Hes an illegal immigrant and an attorney in new york. Thanks for coming on. Happy new year. Tucker happy new year. Why not Treat America like you really cared about it . Policy makers tweet it with half the care that harvard treats its schools with and figure out which immigrants will be the most successful . Its not about race but the massive amount of data that we have when people get her and people that are more likely to succeed get preference and those that wont wont. What is wrong with that . The first point is that the United States is not a company. The United States is not a school. Its a nation. Second point, we want to make sure that we scrutinize every person coming here into the country. We want to make sure that they dont have any terrorist backing or a violent record. But the United Nations was created in the declaration of independence because the king restricted immigration. Because the king of england said states, colonies, you can no longer bring people from other countries tucker who told you this is not about tucker this is not about king george. Okay. Thats a whole other show. Lets just back up a little bit. You said the two standards we need to apply are people are not terrorists and they dont have a criminal record. Would you apply those standards in your own life to anything . Im going to hire this person, let them into my school, ill marry this person. Just as long as this person doesnt have a terror background or a criminal background. Shouldnt we aim higher than that if we cared about the country . Of course. We want standards. At the same time, what made this great nation is what we see in the statue of liberty. Give me your poor, your huddled masses. Your ancestors came when they were poor. Many ancestors or the Founding Fathers came when they were poor. Look at you now youre missing it. This is not were not in the 18th century now. If you really care about the country, you think deeply about what is going to make it better and safer and more prosperous, happy, cozisive. You dont adopt a faithbased description and roll with that. You dont that. You say for example ill throw a stat out. You tell me if its relevant. The Science Talent search competition tries to identify kids that are good at science, which is a good measure. Testing students in america. 14 of the top 40 have indian immigrant parents. So that would suggest, gee whiz, that and a lot of markers suggest the indians do well. What do encourage more indian immigration. Why would that be bad . We want to make sure we attract the best, obviously but we want people that have a belief of what it means to be american. Someone that believes that they come here work hard. That is what makes this nation great. It doesnt mean about people give me your scientists, give me your engineers. If you work hard, you can be an american. Tucker so how about we we can roll with that, too. Were not going to measure success or intelligence or anything like that. Just hard work. So you wouldnt be against saying if youre here as an immigrant, you take no Public Benefit of any kind. You cant go to an emergency room for healthcare. You cant use emergency medicaid for your healthcare. You cant take any program at all, right . Why would we bring people here and give them free stuff. Would you be for that . I am for no taxation without representation. Tucker youre not for that. Oh, okay. How about the hard work part . They should get protect, they should get health care if they pay for their own doctor or security tucker would it be fair for the people who own this country, which is the voters, the citizens to say were going to do a really simple cost benefit analysis on every immigrant. Are you paying in more than youre taking out. If youre not, you have to leave. In 2016, undocumented immigrants tucker dont give me genizatiogenera generalizatio generalizations. In each specific case, if youre an immigrant, prove that youre producing more than youre consume. Would you be for a flying that standard . Im for the American People, im for republicans, democrats coming together tucker youre not for that standard. So were working together for a solution. I want standards that work for everyone. Tucker how about standards that work for americans . Its no for everybody. America doesnt exist to help the populations of other countries. The government looks out for its own people. Its a democracy, as you know. Why wouldnt the American People have a right to say were only admitting people that can demonstrate that they make this country better . Not in a general sense. But like a specific mathematical sense. What would be wrong with that . This nation is a great place because we have allowed the poor, the people that are hungry back your ancestors were peer. Your tucker you dont know anything about my ancestors. My point we want the future for me, i want to make sure im here as an attorney representing veterans and military families. Tucker lets have a rationale conversation. Youre capable of let me ask you a simple question. If more immigration makes the country richer, why does the state with the most immigration, which is california, keep getting poorer . It has more poverty than any state. One out of every five califor a californians is poor. What is the answer to that . I would say that california has a surplus of more than 10 billion into their state economy. Why . Because many factors. Its a welcoming state. California tucker wait a second. Wait. California has gotten hold on. California is poorer one in californians is poor. That wasnt the case when i grew up there. They have the most immigration. Why is the opposite happening in california . Its a simple question. Well, i think theres many factors. I dont think it has to do with immigration. It has to do with the fact that we have to manage budgets right. Tucker oh, they have nothing to do with the california is now poorer than mississippi. Immigration, which is the main thing that separates california and mississippi. You have data on that or you dont want to admit it . We dont have data to blame immigrants tucker were giving them credit for success. Heres the state with the most immigrants. Why is it the poor estate . California has a surplus. The economy is doing well. Why . Because of tim grants. Because i would say the immigrants california is doing great because of immigrants. Many factors into play. At the end of the day tucker its doing so well its the poor estate. How about this . Why dont we get real . Things are changing fast in this country and we care about our country. We want it to be the best. The point is to protect our people. I hope youll give us a pass on trying to think that through in a rationale way. Lets Work Together on this. Tucker thanks, caesar. Thanks. Tucker andrew claven is from city journal. He wrote a piece in response to the president S Immigration remarks. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. Tucker i want to read the first line of this. Nothing scandalizes a leftist like the truth. What does that mean . The left has been successful of making the statement of simple facts seem rude and evil and unkind. If you say men and women are different and have different desires and different career paths, if you say that African Americans commit disproportionate about of violent crimes, if you say that muslims commit a disproportionate about of terrorism, they rear back and call you a bigot. They say youre racist or sexist or whatever until things that are factually true are unexpressable. Youre not allowed to say this. I dont think conservatives fully appreciate the power of that mental slavery. We dont understand the way it wraps around your mind and keeps you of saying the things youre thinking. Tucker shouldnt all american citizens regardless of Political Party or philosophy demand to live by the standard that we live by, which is truth as a defense . Shouldnt we stand by that . Yes. Usually you know, used to be the First Amendment and the fact that americans just tend to be loud mouths and say whatever comes to their head, that used to protect us. The left has been exceptionally good at making sure we learned last week that twitter is shadow banning conservatives. Weve seen how google fires a guy that states something politically incorrect. Weve seen videos baned on you tube. And speakers at universities are met with violent resistance. The left is intent on silencing rightwing opinion. Its very powerful. You look over what is happening in europe where their immigration policy since the war has virtually destroyed their culture. People that come out there and say, well, maybe islam doesnt fit. Theyre destroyed. We saw in england at a conservative 1,400 girls were raped by Pakistani Muslims because the police didnt want to call them out because they were afraid of being called racist. One of the things i see when i look at donald trump im a polite guy and a guy that doesnt like to offend people. One of the things that i see that works for donald trump is his rudeness and his borishness have shattered this prism of Political Correctness that the lift has managed to construct. I think that is the reason that every word that comes out of his mouth and every tweet that he sends out is such a scandal. If you turn on cnn over the weekend after his remarks about haiti and african countries, every one of their anchor men were crying. It was so intolerable to them that donald trump was not restrained by their definition of what is cruel and their definition of what is impolite. This is a network where Anderson Cooper called ordinary rightwing americans, he called them tea baggers. Now when haiti is insulted, his lip is trembling and his eyes are misty. Its a form of bullying. Its a form of social bullying. Im grateful for donald trump when he shatters that. Tucker societies that hate themselves clams. Im glad youre fighting against it. Thanks a lot. A really great piece. A pleasure. Tucker and travelerless cars could be dominating the roads. What are the implications for American Workers . The people that immigrate here and need those jobs. Theres a connection between technology and immigration and well get to it next. burke at farmers, weve seen almost everything so we know how to cover almost anything. Even a swing set standoff.

My doctor and i came up with a plan. It includes preservision.

Thats why i fight. Because its my vision. Preservision. Tucker the driverless car revolution could be here sooner than we think. A lot of revolutions could be here sooner than we think. General motors has requested permission to test drive its cruze av cars next year. That car has no steering wheels and pedals. It would be self driving. If that passes, it would send a shock wave throughout the country. More than five minute americans earn a living by driving trucks and taxis and delivery vehicles. A lot of the jobs are the last remaining ones without a college degree. Instead of preparing for this coming wave of unemployment, the american elite want to import more drivers even as they make cars driverless. 4 of new york city cab drivers were porn in the country. 47 were immigrants. Is it wise for this country to import workers for jobs that may go away very soon . Its a real question. Austin ghouls by is here and joins us tonight. Austin, i think its thats a fair question and a real one. Its not just limited to Driverless Cars. So im sure you saw the mackenzie report that say by 2030, 73 million american jobs could disappear because of automation. So lets say that is hysterical by double. Lets just say its half that. It still raises questions about our immigration policy. We are we importing people for jobs that are disappear something. Let me applaud you, tucker. You should be thinking about these big think issues and anybody that will criticize you for that is wrong. We should be thinking about that. Tucker no one seems to be but in my opinion, youre mixing up the timing a little bit. So the immigrants already came to the country and now theyre filling the jobs that are there. Nobody is saying lets develop Driverless Cars and lets import foreign drivers to drive cars that are not tucker we import over a million we continue to import without any abatesment at all because the Democratic Party is demanding it, more than a million low wage workers every year. So what are they going to do when these jobs go away . Its a simple question. Okay. The simple question for the last 100 years as jobs have been replaced, weve created jobs in new sectors. So as Automated Assembly lines got more and more roboticized, people moved into the service jobs. What weve seen in immigration historically is if we are in periods with low employment growth, not that many immigrants want to come here. Tucker but hold on. What youre leaving out as an economist, you would know this, earlier periods, the social safety net is a fraction of what it is today. You couldnt come here in 1913 and expect that your basic needs will be taken care of by the state. Its very different now. So absolutely not true. There is only ever been one automation or replacement of technology. Thats been an ongoing process for 140 years. Tucker hold on. This is happening. Even if people are coming here and not finding work, they will still live better than they did before. So why wouldnt they continue to come . Its very obvious i dont understand why that is not part of the calculation. Tucker were not fighting about illegal immigration. Im talking about tucke
