The Immigration Problem Masterclass

This week, Moment of Truth returns to the Masterclass format, compiling the sharpest clips from years of guests into one definitive episode on the immigration problem. Featuring Russ Vought, Oren Cass, Ron Hira, Rosemary Jenks, Jason Richwine, Jeremy Carl, Kevin Lynn, Max Rymer, and Joe Rigney, this episode covers every dimension of the crisis — economic, cultural, societal, political, and moral — in one place.

Oren Cass explains why the labor market argument for immigration is an admission the left never wanted to make. Ron Hira breaks down how the H-1B program works as a system of indentured servitude. Rosemary Jenks exposes the dishonest intentions of the pro-immigration elite. Jason Richwine makes the empirical case that immigration causes a culture transplant, not assimilation. Max Rymer and Joe Rigney use Minnesota as a poignant example of how unbridled immigration can change a place in a very short amount of time. Jeremy Carl disproves the myth that America is a 'nation of immigrants.' Kevin Lynn shares his concerns over the damage being done to America's young men by their systematic replacement. And Russ Vought closes with the biblical and constitutional case for a Christian immigration ethic rooted in national sovereignty.

This is the episode to send to everyone you know.
