Episode notes
End The ITIN To Reduce Illegal Immigration
- Matt Walsh argues eliminating the IRS-issued ITIN would cut illegal immigrants' access to credit, banking, and housing markets.
- He says removing ITINs would lower housing prices and incentivize many illegal residents to leave.
Target Systems Not Just Raids
- Stop accepting ITINs for loans, licenses, and banking to remove incentives for illegal residency.
- Target systemic benefits like driving cards and ITIN use rather than focusing solely on raids.
Welfare Stats Can Mask True Costs
- Walsh criticizes studies that compare welfare use per capita and mask costs of mixed-status households.
- He argues such statistics undercount costs from citizen-born children of illegal immigrants and welfare fraud.
