send us an email. if you have a quote of night for us, we would love to hear it we will be back tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. like always. tucker carlson is up next. from d.c. have a guide. good night. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight today as you heard during immigration talks president trump said something that almost every single person actually agrees with. an awful lot of immigrants come from this country from places not very nice. they are dangerous, dirty, corrupt and poor and that's the main reason those immigrants are trying to come here and you would, too, if you live there. president trump asked why america doesn't receive immigrants for from places you want to visit on vacation why not norway which by the u.n.'s measures is the most developed and richest country in the world. while saying this trump used exlettive not surprising either because he uses them

all the time and was speaking spriftly. for some reason virtually everyone in new york and l.a. considered this a major, major event. why is that? to find out, we are joined by jose, communications director for barack obama's 2012 campaign and he joins us in studio. thanks for coming on. >> thank you for the opportunity, tucker. >> tucker: of course you can have a debate over what countries we should admit immigrants from and we are having that debate. what bothers me about the explosion this afternoon is the dishonesty in it. i will give you one example. joan walsh on cnn an annual list over there was asked a moment ago would you rather live in hate i can't understand norway. she said with a straight face i can't say. now, that's lying. if we have gotten to the point where we all have to pretend every country is as exactly as nice as every other country then we are being dishonest. >> basically they are talking about i think the outrage here is about the insult on the people come from these countries making a living in the united

states. talking specifically about el salvador and haiti where pts was revoked by the trump administration. between these countries we are talking people from those countries they are contributing close to $170 billion in g.d.p. a year and they are making a full contribution to the economy. >> tucker: it's a complicated picture but i agree with you if you are saying that a lot of people coming from those countries are good people of course i completely agree. the idea that you are not allowed to say that they are pretty crummy countries haiti, for example, or el salvador, i have been to both of them. that's why people are leaving them to come here. i don't understand what the sin is you are not allowed to point out other countries aren't as good places to live as america? what is the problem. >> there is definitely an issue here because what is happening here the president is articulating the same vision we saw in charlottesville. when they are talking about we replace you with the children and the margins talking about. >> tucker: be rationale here. >> it looks the same. >> tucker: slow down, if you

were to have. >> whole masses on the statue of liberty that we are talking about. >> tucker: stay on track with me here, okay? the president from what we know and maybe other things we don't know about. what we know these countries are crummy places, holes, whatever, he used profanity the people who left those road trains or any a wheel well, they would agree with that why the outrage? is it you have to lie and pretend as joan walsh does i don't know i would live in norway or haiti like we have gotten to a place where nobody can be honest about anything. do you see the point? >> first of all, one of the things that s. that do we apply the same metric to eastern europe? we are talking about countries that are not doing too well right now? crime measures? >> we seem to be applying this only to countries where there are brown people such as haiti and el salvador and

talking about norway like said yesterday which again ties back to the social engineering that trying to. >> tucker: i don't want to get all fact based on you. norway according to the united nations, the most developed country dry in the world. sovereign wealth and biggest in the world because of the oil discoveries offshore there as you know. richest place in the world, okay? haiti is the poorest place in the hemisphere and has been for a long time. people are actually staying in this country right now legally because haiti is so bad we don't think they should have to return. if you say norway is a better place to live and haiti is a hole. anyone who has been in those countries or lived in them would agree. you are jumping up and down and saying you can't say that. >> most people norway don't want to live in trump's america right now. >> tucker: you are making the point. >> about values. attaching this label from people who come from predominantly brown countries that is a problem. and that's how decisions on

c. s are being made. when you take away legal status because if people were here legally. >> tucker: can i ask you a question? >> contributing to this country then, are you using the statute or are you using prejudice to make those decisions? >> tucker: prejudice, racism. terms, final. norway, haiti. >> tucker: one is the richest country in the world and the other is one of the poorest countries in the world. you think that's immoral to point it out a statement of values. i'm asking you a very simple question. if haiti isn't such a bad place, why don't we say to the people who are here temporarily, in refuge from haiti, go back, it's great. we don't say that because it's not great. actually, it's everything the president said it was. it's not an attack on haitians, it's an acknowledgment that their country is not as nice as other countries. if you can't even say that out loud without being called a racist by people like you and the morons at msnbc. >> you are calling me a moron. >> tucker: i'm not calling you a moron. anyone who says it's a

racist statement how you said it's like charlottesville. >> talking about a predom predominantly white country and predominantly african country or people of african dissent. >> tucker: so you are not allowed to say that? how about crime measures? corruption? what are you talking about? >> the president just said a few weeks ago that everybody in haiti has aids and that's one of the reasons why he wanted to cancel it ps even though people are here and have been vetted time and time again. >> tucker: i mean, look. >> you do know. when you are attaching labels to an entire population of people that is problematic especially coming from the leader of the free world. >> tucker: i will speak for myself here again i think there are plenty of great people from hate i don't. >> do you know any? >> tucker: i have met a ton of haitians, there are a lot in miami. a lot of them have done well. the truth is when people from poor countries not a measure of moral stature when you come from a poor country much more likely to be poor when you are here. there is a lot of poverty

already here if in case you haven't driven across the country. real question how much. >> i come from a working class family so i do know. >> tucker: you can't look at me and say that's racist. i have the numbers where immigrants come from. last year we had 23,000 immigrants from el salvador. great people. we had 404 from norway. so we overwhelmingly give advantage to very poor countries and it's an honest question. not a racial one. what effect does that have on the pot of rate in this country? >> can i tell you that while this is a free market network and i would imagine that you follow the basic laws of economic. you have people paying tax system like the 23,000 number that you just mentioned. >> tucker: from el salvador. >> or 200,000 who have tps and the status was just revoked by the administration last week,

you are taking that contribution away from the economy and these people are going to wal-mart. they are buying gas. they are buying clothes. they are going to supermarkets and they are stimulating local and national economy. >> tucker: so you are speaking in generalizations and, again, i actually ghir. >admire. these are the rates of welfare use by country. these are families that are using at least one welfare program in the united states from central and south american immigrants it's 73%. >> can you tell me where that is. >> >> center for immigration studies. the people who keep the numbers on this and from south asia a nonwhite region it's 17%. >> by the way coming from the network. >> i'm not say saying that freedom south asia have better than people from south america there is economic cost in bringing people over who are more likely to go on public services and who are poorer. that's not a racial attack. it's an economic observation in a country that has a ton of poor people already and have you no answer for that other than oh it's

challengesville. >> you are talking about social engineering. the whole worry here and that's why they want to do away with family based migration. family migration what they consider is leading to the browning of america. >> tucker: that is your fever dream. i'm throwing actual statistics at you and you are getting back to the brown black white thing. >> i gave you number impact people from el salvador and people from haiti right now. >> tucker: if people from poor countries are much more likely to go on welfare and make less, doesn't mean they are bad people but the cost of having them here is higher than people from other regions. these reality. >> i have seen other studies that actually say immigrants are no more likely to go on record. >> tucker: i would be fascinated to see that study because it doesn't exist. >> it does exist. >> tucker: rate of american families 1%. that's higher than immigrants from south asia.

preponderance of immigrants are coming from south africa. those rates are high. we have a right to ask questions about that but you say it's racist. >> can i tell you something, have you heard of the five year bar? >> tucker: i don't know what the five year bar is. >> a five year bar salah that congress passed that doesn't allow an immigrant once they regular rise their status to access welfare. how is it that you are coming up from those numbers prevents people unless you are considering when you get a scholarship for public education and public education is actually an investment into the country. if you are considering that, if that's what you are factoring on welfare that's really problematic. >> tucker: okay. so about half of all immigrants. >> five year bar in the library of congress. >> tucker: let me speak to the reality rather than the law. >> the law is reality by the way. >> tucker: actually the law is not reality. if the law was reality we wouldn't be having this

discussion. >> i can tell you right now because i know a lot of people who are not able to access medicare because of five year bar. >> tucker: about half of all immigrants from el salvador right now are living at or below the poverty line. not bad people. not an attack on them. not true from immigrants from other regions of the world. why is it immoral for americans to make the can a calculation what makes us more prosperous. >> most people living below the poverty line are undocumented. >> tucker: why does that benefit america. >> in the full-time economy. the people who have been regularized through a program like tps. there studies by construction around the country how they have moved to supervisory roles they are well-trained and producing jobs for other people and generating -- >> tucker: there are plenty of immigrants well trained. >> contributing to 280 billion to the g.d.p. of the country. >> tucker: you don't know about these numbers. >> oh, yes i do.

>> tucker: let me ask you a theoretical question then. >> do you know where it comes from? cato institute. and forbes magazine which i'm sure you consider that a leftist publication. >> tucker: let's get to a philosophical question. do you think it's fair for american citizens who live here to decide who comes on the basis of who will potentially help our country more? >> in 1965, we changed the laws in this country to be closer to family based migration because. >> tucker: please answer my question. >> we were using quotas. >> tucker: we are using quote as it now. >> 8 to 1 want dreamers to stay in the country. if you are asking about how many americans are looking for support daca and regularize the status of dreamers. >> tucker: if you can't answer a question it's court productive just to filibuster. do you think, at least theoretically allowed for -- hold on let me finish. let's if figure out who is most likely to add to our

country? who is most likely to assimilate? is that okay or racist like everything else i have brought up? is that okay to bring up that question? >> immigrants do assimilate. >> tucker: is it fair tore americans to ask that question? what's good for us? are we allowed to ask that question or who is racist? >> who is we when we say americans? right now 86. >> tucker: i don't know. >> you have americans. >> tucker: how about the majority of the electorate? >> the latest poll that came out today says that 80% of americans want dreamers to assimilate. including two thirds of republicans. >> tucker: we are arguing apples and oranges. >> no we are not. we are arguing about immigrants. >> tucker: does a country have a right to decide who comes in and who doesn't come in? >> most americans want immigration reform in 2013 by every poll. >> tucker: you won't answer because you can't. >> by every poll and you guys passed that in the house of representatives. it's not like you guys want to fix the system. >> tucker: i think our viewers can determine whethewhereyou are coming from,. thank you. >> thank you for your time.

>> tucker: mark steyn is a columnist and by the way imgranted we will let him say whether his land was any sort of hole. he joins us tonight. marc, maybe i'm misreading this and maybe the president said some things i didn't hear i'm sure there were. from what i could hear he is saying look, what why would we give preference to poor countries over rich ones? that doesn't seem like a crazy thing to say. >> i think is he actually saying why should we give preference to dysfunctional societies over others? i will say it in jose won't. 50 years ago every nation thought it had the right to discriminate when it came to immigration among those countries and those people who would find it easier to assimilate and contribute to the country they were moving to. if jose thinks you don't like black people or brown people, let's keep it all black. i think it's i agree with

the patient i wish he would have form lathed it more. haiti is a [bleep] hole. grenade isn't. st. lucia isn't. there are distinctions one can make even within small groups of countries as to joan walsh refusing to say whether she would rather move to matey or norway. let's not wait for joan. let's look at the existing traffic there are immigrants all over the world who moves to norway. no one voluntarily moves to haiti. why is that? it's a dysfunctional society and so are many of the others from which america's present ludicrous system takes newcomers from. >> tucker: so china is the most aggressive colonial power in the world right now and it's investing all over

africa and all over latin america and all over the caribbean. spending $30 billion in haiti, for example. there is no pressure from joan walsh or the american left. the chinese to absorb immigration from any of those regions at all. they are not denounced as racist for keeping their borders totally closed to everybody. why is that? i wonder. >> well, because china is allowed to advance its own interests. so it's bought, for example, a big box industry in jamaica. it doesn't feel along with that it has to import a big bunch of jamaicans to its country. people can object to what president trump says. but it actually makes far more sense than if you look at what pat leahy said who just sent out this tweet in response bleeping that's not who we are. it's not enough to actually say that's not who we are. and, in fact, that's the response to everyone of these so-called problems.

that's not who we are. they never actually say who we are. that's that's not who we're. who we are seems to be devolving into the people who say that's not who we are. everybody else, china, haiti, norway is allowed to be who we are and act as a nation in its own national interests. including on immigration policy. >> tucker: yeah. i think china could use a little more diversity. we will be pushing for that in future weeks. thanks a lot, mark. we appreciate it? >> exactly. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: senator lindsey graham had some uncharitable words for this show and anyone who believes in borders. megan's a lawyer. when it comes to presenting evidence, nobody does it better. she's also this close to finding bigfoot. but when it comes to mortgages, she's less confident. fortunately for megan, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans. it's simple, so she can understand the details

"what headache?" nothing works faster to make pain a distant memory. advil liqui-gels and advil liqui-gels minis. what pain?

>> tucker: couple nights ago this show's was critical of summit with congressional leaders where the president indicated he was willing to step back from daca negotiations personally and sign whatever deal that lawmakers agreed on. senator linsdz is i graham was pleased with it though. watch. >> i think the president did a fabulous job of talking about this problem. he did it in a smart way and compassionate way and you know, his job is not to sell books. his job is not to carry a tv show. his job is to solve problems and he has got to work with democrats. i was proud of my president yesterday. >> tucker: selling books. as if we could ever rival senator lindsey graham for cynicism. we never could. and for the record we never say anything on this program we don't sincerely believe. can lindsey graham say the

same? chris cobach is secretary of state for kansas and he joins us tonight. mr. kobach, thanks for coming on. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> tucker: i'm concerned because what we thought was never going to happen again appears to be happening and that's the leadership of the republican party ignoring what its voters want party fails to secure the border and security and who comes here. am i imagining that? >> no, you are not imagining that. the worse, the most troubling thing about that meeting on tuesday that i saw was you had multiple republicans repeating the mantra we have got to do daca. we have got to do daca. we have got to give amnesty for these people. look, tucker, you pointed this out. the daca amnesty is bad for americans granting amnesty to a million people 20's and 30's average age 24 compete

against young americans who have a 9% unemployment rate in that age group and for young americans who don't have a college degree it's a whopping 34% under plymouth rate. so we're legalizing foreign nationals who have broken our laws to compete against americans who can't get a job. so that's bad policy in addition it's going to cause another surge in illegal immigration. the idea that we have to do this is ludicrous and only consider doing that if there are law enforcement end chain migration and mandate everify. if we don't get the wall we walk away from the deal. we don't need to do daca. >> tucker: not only do it but put it right to the very top of the list of priorities of the u.s.s. congress before everything. before the opioid crisis literally shortening the life expectancy of middle america. we need to do. this i feel sorry for some of the daca recipients for sure.

i'm not attacking them. it's not clear why if you have any questions about it you should take a moral lecture from a republican senator who suggest you are the cynical heartless one when you say raise questions about the fact on american citizens. how do we get to place where republican senators are lecturing us how they are far better people than we are because they are for amnesty. how did that happen exactly? >> >> that's a great question. as i'm sure you know tucker lindsey graham and this group of six senators came up with a even more generous mega amnesty much bigger than daca that they announced they favor. the point is he seems to be giving away the store. he doesn't seem to care that much about all the damage that amnesty does to hard-working americans. you are absolutely right. one other thing the false urgency about this is ludicrous too. the march 5th deadline that president trump set. all that happens on march 5th is that some of the daca work permits start to expire day after day so

more expire. there is nobody showing up at their home with armed ice agent to escort them out of the country. the notion we have to grant rushed am necessary is i is false. >> tucker: i'm surprised he is taking time out for war with iran but he has. mr. secretary, thank you. >> thank you. take care. >> tucker: vermont newspaper editor has lost his job for raising questions about gender politics. that editor joins us next. ♪ i'm mark and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried, um, cold turkey. i tried the patches. i was tired and i was fed up. i wanted to try something different. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking. when you try to quit smoking,

with other explanations for it such as it was a weather phenomenon. that's what the faa said about o'hare which is really an insult to the pilots who witnessed this thing and many other observers who know that it wasn't weather. it was metallic disk shaped object that hovered over a terminal gate c 17 for five minutes and shot straight up through the clouds? this was incredible aspect. it was hovering below a cloud bank and all of the sudden it just shot straight up really fast through the cloud bank and cut a hole in it there was a cookie cutter clean hole in the clouds look up and see the blue on the other side. as far as anybody knows, as far as i know and from what i have been told we don't have machines in the sky that can do things like that. >> tucker: this is not a potato field in 1950s. this is chicago o'hare one of the busiest airports in the world in the middle of the day. and the faa says we're not that interested? how could that be? >> it's very -- i appreciate

how baffled you are, tucker. >> tucker: i am. >> i'm baffled, too. you can imagine the witnesses involved with this, it's an insult to them. i mean, there are many witnesses and we are talking about military people. high level people in the air force, the navy, the other military commercial pilots who were just told that we're not interested in what they saw. it's very difficult for a lot of them because they are patriotic people. >> tucker: what it's f. it's the chinese military? i believe you because you are i think the preeminent researcher on this question but it beggars belief that the u.s. government would just sort of let it go. i appreciate. leslie, thank you for coming on. it's an honor to have you. >> thanks a lot, tucker. i appreciate your interest in this. >> tucker: time for final exam coming up. will fox grand champion shannon bream winner of nine get to 10. that's next. ♪ mom, i have to tell you something. dad,
