Commentator Carl Higbie criticized U.S. immigration enforcement, pointing to a recent asylum case, private development in Texas, and ongoing legal battles over deportations.

Higbie first referenced an asylum ruling involving a migrant from Bangladesh who was allowed to remain in the United States.

“Just recently, a Bangladeshi migrant, successful, by the way, this guy gets to stay.”

He continued by describing the circumstances surrounding the case.

“He successfully won his asylum case in court after he found out that he would if he was deported to his foreign country, he told the court that he would face prosecution, prosecution for what? Oh, look at that bomb charges.”

Higbie questioned the outcome of the decision.

“So we literally keeping him in our country as an asylum claim because he fled like, I guess, terrorism charges in his home.”

He added, “What this is the person that we’re bringing here? What the hell is going on here?”

Higbie then turned his criticism toward what he described as broader political incentives.

“Whatever they are smoking over there on the left has got to be illegal.”

He argued that migrants are being encouraged to come to the United States under current policies.

“I tell you, what’s going on, these people are being incentivized to come here.”

Higbie referenced policies implemented when Joe Biden was president.

“Remember this when Biden was president? I mean, we all remember when he was president, but he probably doesn’t remember when he was president.”

He recalled disputes between states and the federal government over border enforcement.

“They said the states couldn’t stop immigration because it was a federal issue.”

He added, “They made like Texas tear down border walls and barbed wire and anti swimmer barriers in the Rio Grande.”

Higbie contrasted that with the current situation under President Trump.

“Which is ironic now that Trump is in charge, and they don’t like him deporting all these people.”

He continued, “They’re, you know, future voters, so they say it’s a state’s issue states should be able to control. Can’t have it both ways.”

Higbie then discussed Colony Ridge, a large development northeast of Houston.

“You remember this thing called Colony Ridge, is a huge development northeast of Houston.”

He described the project’s lending structure.

“Some developer decided that he was just going to buy a swath of land, turn around and develop barely passable homes and sell them to predominantly illegals, advertising only in Spanish.”

According to Higbie, the developer financed the mortgages directly.

“He self funded mortgages for these people so he didn’t have to have any regulation around it. Could charge whatever interest rate he wanted.”

Higbie claimed crime and foreclosures increased in the area.

“And would you look at that weird crime shot up in those areas and foreclosures on the properties too, predatory lending.”

He described the infrastructure conditions.

“The infrastructure was complete, trash, water, sewer, electric, all that combined became like a hub for third world illegals flooding into Texas.”

He added, “It became much like the third world those people came from, ironically enough.”

Higbie said the developer recently settled litigation related to the project.

“The developers weird settled a lawsuit yesterday for almost $70 million to bring the entire area up to code and put in a police station.”

He concluded that the situation reflects broader divisions over immigration enforcement.

“This is what we’re up against with the illegal immigration fight.”

Higbie referenced protests and detention center disputes.

“You got perverts, freaks and weirdos throwing sex toys at cop cars windshields, giving each other STDs to stop ICE agents from deporting criminals.”

He also cited a detainee who had overstayed his visa.

“They found one white guy in a detention center to cry on the radio about how terrible it is to hear after overstaying his visa for 16 years, then refused to be deported back to Ireland to make people think that illegals are the victims.”

Higbie pointed to disagreements between state and federal officials and rulings by judges.

“Governors working with federal government to not working with the federal government, and judges are stopping every turn, erroneously telling DHS some guys are saying he’s got to bring them back from El Salvador and private developers offering them homes with no check loans.”

He closed by describing the divide between states on immigration policy.

“I mean, we’re more divided now than before. The civil war on this, blue states supporting illegals, red states upholding the law.”
