Whenever you debate a member of the tolerant left on the very real issue of illegal immigration in this country, they either call you a racist xenophobe or insist there is no real way to solve the issue that's not really an issue in the first place.
Hey, if you've spent any time on social media at all you are very familiar with this debate (argument) and know EXACTLY what we're talking about.
Now, we all have mentioned solutions in these debates, like the wall, or you know, bothering to actually close and secure the southern border (crazy talk, we know) but Vivek Ramaswamy has an actual solution that would not only stop them from flowing in, but it might even inspire them to move out.
Take a look:
Shut down the entitlement state & you solve most of the immigration problem right there. We need to man up & fix the root cause that draws migrants here in the first place: the welfare state. But no one seems to want to say that part out loud, because too many native-born…

Actually, shutting down the entitlement state would help with a LOT of our problems like generational poverty and dependence on the government BUT he's absolutely right about it solving our illegal immigration crisis.

Elon gets it.
No wonder the Left is losing their marbles (more so) over it:
Vivek is a hedgefund guy who wants you to believe he is interested in public service so he can eliminate government from public life and in effect mount a private sector takeover of the country. He can’t say that. So he swaddles his ambition in talking points that pander to you

Awww, we can always count on Luke to say something stupid. What a giver.
Red states take home multiple times the money they send to D.C compared to blue states.

Does that count as entitlement Vivek?
Blue cities in those red states ... fixed it for Joe.
I disagree with this

In my experience, the vast majority of people coming across are coming here to live life
They simply want to work & start businesses and be with their families
It’s time you move past silly republican talking points
Silly Republican talking points.
Adorbs.
