Ben Bergquam appeared on Thursday’s WarRoom with Steve Bannon to discuss the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border and its far-reaching implications. During their conversation, Bergquam shared his observations from recent trips to San Diego, California, where he witnessed firsthand the surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border.
He pointed out that the situation has escalated due to sanctuary policies in cities that protect illegal immigrants and organizations like Catholic Charities helping facilitate their entry. Bergquam doesn’t hold back, calling this network the “illegal alien industrial complex.” He claims that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international groups are profiting from illegal immigration, all while undermining American sovereignty.
Bergquam linked this border crisis to a larger agenda. He believes that the chaos at the border is not just about immigration—it’s part of a bigger plan that could destabilize the country. According to him, this includes potential terror attacks and civil unrest, like the riots that followed George Floyd’s death in 2020. He warns that efforts to resist immigration reform, especially under a potential second Trump administration, are already underway. NGOs, the media, and other groups are pre-positioning themselves to push back against changes the public overwhelmingly supports.
Bannon agreed, saying that the current state of politics feels more like warfare. He stressed that, no matter the results of elections, there seems to be a systemic resistance against policies that align with MAGA values. He and Bergquam both agreed that organizations working with cartels or those violating U.S. laws need to be defunded and prosecuted. According to them, this is about more than politics—it’s about protecting America’s future.
The two also highlighted how the issue at the border ties into larger concerns about national security and the weaponization of government agencies. Bannon and Bergquam warned that public trust in institutions is rapidly eroding. This, they argue, is part of a broader effort to create chaos, making illegal immigration a permanent fixture in American society.
Bergquam emphasized that the situation at the border isn’t just an immigration issue—it’s a national security threat. He argued that the “open borders” policies currently in place have serious consequences for America’s safety. If left unchecked, these policies could lead to a future where America’s borders are no longer secure, and its sovereignty is compromised.
Both Bergquam and Bannon made it clear that they believe the fight to protect America is far from over. They believe that it’s crucial to hold the line against those who seek to undermine the country’s laws and values. The conversation wrapped up with a call to action: to stay vigilant, to fight for American sovereignty, and to hold accountable those responsible for what they see as a deliberate campaign to destabilize the nation.
