Transcript

00:00One of the other things our readers like from yesterday was when you were talking so forcefully about illegal immigration in the United Kingdom.

00:07One of the big political flashpoints is migrant hotels, where people are being put up while their claims are processed.

00:14People see it as a source of insecurity.

00:15Beautiful luxury hotels.

00:17They also think there's low security and it's a problem for their communities.

00:21Is that appropriate, or does Britain need an alligator Alcatraz?

00:24It's not an alligator. It's just that they're putting people in luxury hotels.

00:28And other people that are working their asses off are living, you know, from hand to mouth.

00:35They're not living the same way.

00:36I mean, I looked at some of the hotels they're using and they've done it in our country also.

00:41They put them in like the best hotels anywhere in the world because they could get rooms there.

00:48Thousands of dollars a night.

00:50And other people are living out on the streets, including our veterans.

00:53They can't get a room.

00:55Our veterans are living on the streets.

00:56There are pictures of our veterans saying right by the door where they're walking in to live.

01:02And the veterans are sitting out on the sidewalk in front of a fancy hotel.

01:07And the illegals are coming in into that hotel and staying there for a week.

01:12That's no good.
