MyPillow’s Mike Lindell Embraces Illegal Aliens

**SPEAKER_1** (0:10)
Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.

**Todd Starnes** (0:28)
No, I have no idea what's going on here.
Yeah, this is a head-scratcher, ladies and gentlemen. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes radio program. Well, what an honor to have you with us today. We have a terrific show lined up for you, but we've got to talk about the big elephant in the room, which is Mike Lindell over at MyPillow. And I don't know if Mike has been on the road. I know he's running for governor of Minnesota, and maybe he's been staying in hotels. Hasn't been, he didn't pack his MyPillow, and maybe he's not getting a good night's rest. But Mike Lindell is now becoming pro-illegal alien. I know this is a shock to a lot of people. As a matter of fact, Mike Lindell, it was not something, he didn't misspeak anything. As a matter of fact, he's doubling down on his belief that we need to give amnesty, we need to provide some sort of a path to citizenship for some of the illegals who live among us. He was doing an interview with the Washington Examiner, and he said he supports a six month amnesty period for illegal aliens. And so just so you understand, we're going to play this audio from Mike Lindell. And people are just really puzzled by this. And I think there's just been, there's been a lot of frustration within the conservative movement about so many of the, I don't know, the MAGA celebrities sort of hedging now on some of the most important, the most important parts of the America First agenda.
And I would say this is in fact one of them. Anyway, here's Mike Lindell, Cut 31, please.

**Mike Lindell** (2:23)
Here's what I propose is I want to make conditional non-resident visas. And this would be, I'm going to actually talk to the president about this, but I want to start with Minnesota. These conditional non-resident visas, you would have six months.
Any, anyone's here that is an illegal immigrant comes in, you get checked in the courthouse, you get fingerprinted, you get checked in to get this conditional non-resident visa. Now you have six months to do that. You're not a citizen, but you don't have to leave ever, as long as a couple of things happen.
One is, you can't commit a crime from a gross, be convicted of a crime of a gross misdemeanor or better. Right now, we have 1,300 people in Minnesota that are in our prisons that are illegal. We pay $110 million a year to house them. They need to be shipped out.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:11)
But the president is not going to go through this.

**Mike Lindell** (3:14)
Let me finish the plan as named.
So you have this, and now at the end of the 6 months of these people, they want to go get a driver's license. They can go get a driver's license. But just like when I used to get DWIs, there was conditions on my driver's license. They will have to get a driver's license, but they will have to learn to speak English and to read our signs here. Okay, that's going to be one of the conditions. Okay, if you want to drive it. Now, if you go to the line to be a legal citizen, then you go to the back of the line. But here's the thing, that line is going to be short, and there's going to be no cost. How are we going to pay for that? Here's how we're going to pay. During the six months, the employers that are paying cash, at the end of that six months, if they're paying cash and they don't have that card, these guys are committing crimes, these employers. They need to go to jail for 90 days. It should be mandatory. And then they're going to start paying taxes that we all pay. And the economy is going to go up here, because these guys, everyone's going to be paying taxes.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:12)
Well, the immigrant community, undocumented, do pay taxes.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:15)
There's a way that started in the 1990s.

**Harlan Akala** (4:18)
There is a way that they do pay taxes.

**Mike Lindell** (4:19)
They're not all paying this season.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:21)
They're not all paying.

**Mike Lindell** (4:22)
It solves a big problem. These guys now, the illegals can come out of the shadows. They can live like you and I. They don't have to hide out. They don't have to worry about being attacked and they can't tell anybody or raped or whatever would happen to them. They don't have to have that worry. These employers that are stealing from all of us better look out under my watch because they better have that conditional non-resident card for you to employ them and you better be paying your taxes. And then if you do this, here's what happens.
