We Went to America - This Is What We Saw

The incentive structure is to pretend it didn't happen, to cover it up, et cetera. So I just, look, I really hope that in dealing with illegal immigration, the US administration, and also if we ever get to that point in our country. I hope it gets dealt with quickly.

I don't massively care about, you know, we joke all the time about there was a guy who couldn't be deported from the UK because his kid likes chicken nuggets that are all of this stuff. I don't give a shit about any of that. If you come to a country illegally and commit crime, I don't massively care about making sure you're okay in every way. If you get deported and you end up in prison, good.

But we can't throw away the baby with the bathwater. And I think one of the reasons America is so great is that there is a legal system that allows people recourse to appeal and so on. And I think that's really important.

Now, look, here's where I'll say something that I think is a very complicated issue. My understanding, I don't know the law very well. I have read a few things about it, and my understanding is it's very complicated. However, you and I, I think, are always going to err on the side of people being allowed to speak their mind and not be punished for it.

And so from that perspective, I think deporting people who express their lawful opinion in public, even if it's at a protest, I think is totally wrong. On the other hand, and this is not about the specific incident, so just to be clear, I think people who say things that people don't like shouldn't be deported from the country.

Just as a matter of principle, I'm not talking about these specific cases because I don't know the details exactly. The claim is they were pro-Hamas or whatever. I don't know if that's true. But if they are pro-Hamas, I think that needs to be established in court as opposed to someone just saying it and then these people being removed. On the other hand... It's not even on the other hand.

That is said, and I don't take back any of that. But you and I are visitors to the United States. Would you go to a protest to protest about stuff in this country as a visitor? No. And neither would I. And I think the reason for that is there's a fundamental recognition that there's a difference between being a citizen of a country and being a visitor there or having a visa to come there.
