Students loved to challenge Charlie by pushing for open borders, and after a while Charlie got very good at taking their arguments apart. In this classic of the genre, Charlie asks what the penalty should be for illegal entry into America and whether the government exists to serve its own citizens first, or the citizens of foreign lands. Charlie challenges the idea that it’s acceptable for a majority of people under 30 in California to speak Spanish instead of English, and gives other key points for rebutting open borders fanaticism.
