John Fetterman admits Kamala's border bill would grant mass amnesty to illegal immigrants in US, not secure border

Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan spoke with Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman during an episode uploaded on Saturday, discussing how the Democrats under the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration have weaponized immigration politics.

During the two-hour interview, Rogan and Fetterman covered various topics. On the issue of immigration, Fetterman argued that Republicans missed an opportunity to address the immigration crisis, saying, "They had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border-bipartisan-and that went down because Trump, he declared that that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side."



Rogan countered by pointing out that Republicans rejected the bill due to concerns over included amnesty. 

"But didn't that deal also involve amnesty?" Rogan asked.

"It did, yeah," Fetterman said.

"And didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year, I think it was 2 million people?" Rogan asked.

"It, uh, well, yeah," Fetterman admitted.

Rogan explained that ultimately, "it was still the same sort of situation, and their fear is exactly what I talked about. That these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever."

"Doesn't that seem logical though if you have a significant number of people that are being moved into swing states that have come across the border illegally and then you've provided them with all these services, you provided them with food stamps, EBT, you've provided them with housing. You could, if you gave those people amnesty and allow those people to vote and it was very organized. You're talking about 75,000 votes over a few counties that switched everything over to the Republicans," Rogan said.

"You could see how you import 10 million people over the course of four years illegally and then move a significant number of them to swing states and then provide them with all these services, and then give them a path to citizenship, you could essentially rig those states undeniably."

Fetterman expressed doubts about this perspective and emphasized the need for “an honest conversation” on the topic. While Rogan argued that logically, allowing more illegal immigrants into swing states would impact how those states vote, Fetterman responded: "Undeniably, immigration is changing our nation… I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, but it's very clear that immigration has remade Texas, and I think it's generally, it's a good thing."
