Transcript of the above video: 

I was just watching a clip, I think it was actually originally from TikTok but I saw it over on Twitter, now called X. It was a clip of a woman, an American woman who has a husband who is not an American who they met I believe in college, and they got married and now they're processing his documentation, and she is talking about how it took two and a half years, and he still has not even gotten his Green Card yet; they are going through adjustment. Then on top of that, they made it mandatory for him to go get a COVID Vaccine, which begs the question, I mean just generally speaking do we need to continue a mandate for the COVID Vaccine now, with the data that we have? Is that the best policy? But let's set that aside.

The point of this video is about the fact that I very much hope this incoming Administration will seriously consider, and reconsider, matters pertaining to not only illegal Immigration which I don't doubt that Mr. Trump is adamant about that and I think the appointment of Mr. Homan as the current so-called "Immigration Czar", and that is a function because he can come in on the transition team and really hit the ground running day one via that position. And Immigration is somewhat of a different animal compared to other Cabinet level positions insofar as it requires confirmation and things because the President has a great deal of power with regard to Immigration. A lot of his power emanates from Article 2 of The Constitution. That specifically pertains to the Executive Power, so the President can appoint people that can really get things done.  I'm not doubting their zeal with regard to Illegal Immigration but what worries me and I think illegal Immigration needs to be dealt with. My friend Michael Yon doesn't even like to call it illegal Immigration, he just calls it invasion. I tend to agree with his arguments on that but when I put my lawyer cap on, I just call it illegal immigration.

That being said, I think it's more important that this incoming Administration recognizes that legal immigrants are something that, they are good for America at the end of the day. Legal immigrants are what built America. So I have seen roughly over the past - now five years give or take - the immigration system has just gotten worse and worse. I just got a denial the other day that is one of the most Kafkaesque denials I've ever seen. I can't go into great detail on here because for a variety of different reasons - I obviously can't give a lot of information - and the case has not fully played out but I've never even been put into this position before where basically the whole denial is just "because we say so" and cite some bureaucratic procedure that is apropos of nothing. It's not based on any legal notion, it's just "because we say so" at the end of the day. I'm really getting tired of that in all of the government agencies. That's not the way the US system is meant to work. We are not the Soviet Union; you are not an all-powerful bureaucrat, because you say so it now is. We don't have commissars in America, we have a Constitution.

Now that said and sort of leaving that whole issue aside, legal immigration is important and I think anybody that is objective, realizes Steven Miller in the first term of President Trump, did a lot of damage to Legal Immigration in a lot of different ways. On a certain level, I guess I understood the sentiment, they were trying to reform things, but they didn't. If anything, they just made it worse. Look I get it, go after illegal immigration; enforce Immigration Law, but enforce Immigration law but that means also dealing in good faith with people who file legal petitions for visas or for status in the United States of America.
