Actor John Leguizamo tried to come for President Donald Trump and his administration’s deportation of illegal immigrants, suggesting there’s plenty of room for all, and comedian Bill Maher schooled him that it’s about resources.
During the 64-year-old leftist actor’s appearance on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, the two were discussing former President Joe Biden’s disastrous handling of the border and illegal immigration, allowing tens of millions of illegals into our country.
“But I mean, part of this is a backlash to how badly Biden handled the immigration situation. It can’t just be like come one come all, which…,” Maher said.
“There’s plenty of room here … there’s plenty of room in America,” Leguizamo interjected. “Come on. There’s, there’s no lack of room in America.”
“Room?” Maher replied. “But it’s never about room. It’s about resources and about like having … countries have to have a border. You can’t. It just can’t be.”
“I mean, they’ve done surveys and something like 200 million people around the world, when asked, ‘Would you come to America if you could? Yes, I would.’ Why wouldn’t they?” he added. “Lots of countries, excuse me, are [ __ ] holes, and they would love to be here.”
The actor then tried to claim the importance of illegal immigrants in the country, and Maher hit back.
“Yes, of course, we are an immigrant-welcoming country, but there has to be some order to it,” the podcast host said. “It just can’t be come one, come all.”
Maher then praised the move by border states’ sending trains of illegals to sanctuary cities like New York City, calling their bluff, where even Democrat Mayor Eric Adams had to admit the city’s resources couldn’t handle all the people being bused into the area.
“Even the governor of New York was like, ‘We can’t take all these people.’ Mayor Adams was like, and he’s right,” he added. “It’s like, you know, these people live here, and now this is their burden to this degree.”
Leguizamo then sounded similar to Democrat leaders who have cried, “But who will pick the crops,” sounding like something said to support slavery, as RedState reported.
The host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” has been an outspoken critic of the left and Democrats. Maher’s recent message to Dems who were upset about Trump’s crackdown on the border, and it’s basically, look “in the mirror,” RedState reported.
During Maher’s podcast, he spoke to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Trump’s success on the border, who pointed out that what the president has done is deter people from illegally coming to the country.
Maher then said the quiet part out loud and admitted that what Trump is doing to prevent illegal immigrants from coming here is working:
What he’s doing is working as far as stopping people from coming in,” Maher said. “If the message is ‘you know what, you always had a free ride.’ If you thought you could come here, the worst that was going to happen is, ‘Oh, all bets are off, go back.’ No, you didn’t make it. That’s the worst that could happen; probably, you’re just going to stay here.”
[Trump’s] message is ‘well, no, if you come here and we catch you, it might be worse for you,'” he added. “And you know that is a deterrent, and it is working, the number of people. Every action has a reaction.”
Maher continued, pointing out that Biden went so “stupidly far toward a pretty much come-one-come-all, just-walk-right-in policy, and they [the left] have to own that to a degree. Again, I do not support what Trump is doing, but I get where it comes from … if you go that far left, what do you expect? You are going to get people who come in and go that far right. Democrats have a lot of looking in the mirror to do.”
