Bongino shifts the lens from taxes to the broader capitalism-versus-socialism debate, using a clip from a debate involving PragerU-affiliated commentator Franklin Camargo's colleague. The debater asks a DSA member why people put themselves on boats and risk death to reach the United States, when no Americans are making that journey in reverse. The DSA response — 'my grandma is here,' 'it's anecdotal,' 'there are multiple factors' — is precisely the dodge Bongino has been diagnosing all episode. He adds his own data point: tens of thousands of Canadians cross into the U.S. to get healthcare despite Canada's 'free' system, and an estimated 14 to 30 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S. are often cited by the left itself as evidence those home countries are too dangerous to return to. The free market doesn't need a gun pointed inward. The socialist systems do.
Tens of millions of people have risked their lives crossing borders to reach the American free market. Zero Americans are boarding boats to escape to Cuba, Venezuela, or Russia. If socialism is so great, why does the traffic only flow one direction?
