About this episode
In this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson, author of “The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation,” explores the unprecedented state of illegal immigration in the US and proposes solutions to restore border security. Some of the solutions mentioned include: “I think that whatever your status is, if you are sending money back to a foreign country from the United States that is singled out as a source of illegal immigration—Mexico, Latin America, for example—then the United States government should put a 10 to 20 or 30% tax on all remittances.” “We’re the only country in the world that gives unqualified citizenship to people who happen to be born here and then anchor an entire family. Why not also put a 10, 20 year ban on people who have been detained here illegally and stop them from applying for a green card or legal readmissions for 20 years, that would be a very powerful deterrent.” Learn more about your ad choices.
