US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says our immigration system is broken. Anyone coming to America should not be eligible to receive any handouts, zero government benefits He explains immigration only works if you end the Welfare State “You can’t really open the border and say, ‘I’m gonna give my money to anybody who wants to come in — That’s getting it wrong.” “So when people say, ‘Open immigration is how we built America,’ they are right.” “And open immigration would be something interesting if we gave people nothing.” “Because if we gave them nothing, if they weren’t smart enough, capable, entrepreneurial enough, driven enough, they would starve to death. And so they wouldn’t stay here. They would self-deport and leave.” “But if you’re gonna give them welfare, and you’re gonna give them food stamps, and you’re gonna give them housing, and you give them this, that, then everybody’s gonna come and just leech off of us and we’re gonna pay, and pay, and pay.”

In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was a decorated Soviet officer who made a small, private joke about Stalin in a letter. The state opened it, read it, and treated it as a crime. Within weeks he was arrested and stripped of rank. He was fed into the camps, and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag. The camps were designed to teach one lesson: say nothing, remember nothing, become nothing. He shoveled frozen concrete until his hands split and bled. Years later, Solzhenitsyn would write, “Bless you, prison, for having been in my life.” It sounds insane until you understand what he meant. Prison showed him the truth of the regime in its purest form. After his release, the punishment did not end. He lived under constant surveillance, moving from place to place, knowing that writing a single page could mean death. So he did not write. He memorized. Whole chapters of The Gulag Archipelago lived only in his head. Friends hid scraps of text. Wives memorized passages. For years the book existed only in human memory, as fragile and dangerous as a secret prayer. When it was finally published, it did not argue that Soviet communism had gone too far. It showed that this was exactly where it led. Solzhenitsyn had learned that systems built on lies survive only if people agree to repeat them, and that the simplest refusal… to stop saying what you know is false… is the first and most dangerous act of resistance.
