Aug 27, 2026 · 1h 39m
Summary
Tucker Carlson argues that Trump voters feel betrayed by the administration’s failure to enforce immigration laws, despite his 2024 campaign promises. He interviews former Border Patrol head Greg Bovino, who claims 107 million illegal immigrants remain in the US and that interior enforcement has effectively ceased. Carlson contends that mass migration devastates communities and wages, asserting that the current policy serves elites rather than the American public.
