Former President Bill Clinton said on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” podcast that “there is a limit” to how many migrants the United States can accept before it causes disruption. ZAKARIA: Let me ask you about another issue you guys are going to take up at CGI, refugees. And one of the things that I think the right has hammered at, with regard to the Democratic Party and President Biden, is this issue of refugees coming into the United States. And I think it’s fair to say that the asylum system seems to be broken. This was meant to be a system that allowed people who were in desperate circumstances, and now what you have is a lot of people who are essentially economic migrants coming in, essentially gaming the system, using the asylum way to get in. Isn’t it — isn’t it true that there has to be some order placed on this, some control on this?
CLINTON: I agree with that. There is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without severe disruption and assistance. And our system is based much more on an assumption that things would be more normal.
For example, as long as I can remember, we’ve had an immigration system, we’ve given green cards to people from other countries who had valuable skills that we needed. And it generally had a lot of support until somebody felt their economic interests were threatened.
When I was a boy, when I was a young man even, Mexican citizens moved freely back and forth across the Rio Grande River and did agricultural work. And it worked for people. NAFTA happened at a time when there was increasing industrialization. Everybody knew that was going to happen, but it did displace jobs.

The beginning of woke progressivism, which has only spiraled downward with Obama and Biden.
Skip Clinton’s marital issues, consider who he married. He did good as a president unlike others in recent decades. And the blame for our broken immigration system starts squarely with Reagan who gave amnesty and signed the Simpson-Mazzoli bill that led us to today. Reagan, Bush, and even Trump failed to deport the illegals in the US. Lots of talk from Trump but he left office with more in the US than when he started. There were no round ups, no elimination of jobs, no one left. It was all talk.
triangulation bill is at it again
Clinton is still an astute politician who knows which way the political winds blow.
That barn door has been open far too long Slick.
Clinton wants to be able to point to this statement when the SHTF and claim he warned everyone.
Ask all the dead American’s who were victims of illegals if there WILL BE a disruption.
In Marthas Vineyard, the limit is 50.
In Marthas Vineyard, the limit is 50 zeee-ro. (as Bubba would pronounce it)
These people aren’t refugees. Refugees go to where they’re safe and request asylum. How many other countries did they cross before arriving in the US? They’re here for the freebies and should be deported immediately.
Only because he fired up the people so much in his first two years that the Republicans took Congress for the first time since the 1952 election. Very little got done in Washington and the nation thus prospered
I am reminded of exercises in English or other language classes. Now, Billy, how would you say that in the more accurate past tense?
‘There Was a Limit to How Many Migrants U.S. Could Take Without Causing Disruption’
Why didn’t they seek asylum in Panama, Costa Rice, Belize, or Mexico, or one of the island countries off the east cost of Venezuela? Because those countries don’t hand out freebies. They are benefit seekers.
Ya think?
Brilliant deduction Bill,,,,,I’ll bet you can define “IS” now.
The limit he’s referring to was likely passed in the late 80’s.
And yet Bush and Clinton are best friends and allies against trump and maga. Perhaps Bushie was not as good as you think.
Everything going wrong in this country today is a direct result of the 1965 Immigration act and open borders, which have destroyed the heritage, culture, values, livelihoods, and cohesion of this nation. They didn’t like how we voted, so they replaced us with new voters who do not share our heritage or values. The new voters gave the communists on the extreme left the votes they needed to seize power. Brought to you by murderers Ted Kennedy and LBJ.
This is a missive in support of his boy Jake Sullivan being the lone voice in the White Hospice to reel this illegal invasion shit in or get clobbered on Election Day.
You gotta know that just rubs that Hen's Klub in the WH the wrong way. Carry the load, bitches!
It's bizarre that during Bubba's hilarious King Fool reign, we recast JFK as a RINO.
Now just 3 decades later, Bubba's got some RINO/BlueDog shade and JFK is a right-wing white supremacist fascist, bless his Monroe-rapin' heart.
