Tucker Carlson on Thursday dropped episode 30 of his show on X.
“What’s happening at the southern border isn’t just an invasion, but a crime. The politicians and NGOs responsible for it are criminals, who should be punished accordingly,” Tucker said.
“Nations are defined by the people who live in them. That is the most basic of all observations about the world,” Tucker said in his opening monologue.
Tucker Carlson called Biden’s open borders policies a “crime” and “election rigging on a mass scale.”

RELATED: Biden says the border wall is ineffective. Here are key things to know.
Published October 12, 2023
The Biden administration last week placed itself in the position of trying to explain how its decision to fast-track new construction of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border — which officials called an urgent necessity — did not amount to a policy reversal.

After all, the president pledged during the 2020 campaign that he would not build “another foot” of the barrier. One of Biden’s executive orders on his inauguration day brought President Donald Trump’s signature project to a grinding halt, with the new president calling that effort to keep migrants from crossing into the United States a waste of money.

RELATED: Are terrorists trying to enter the U.S. through the southern border? Here are the facts.
Published October 11, 2023
Concerns about whether known or suspected terrorists are exploiting the migration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the country have intensified following the brutal terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel over the weekend.
Republican lawmakers, GOP White House hopefuls and conservative media figures have argued that the Biden administration’s border policies have given terrorists an easier way to enter the U.S. and harm Americans. On Monday, former President Donald Trump claimed that the “same people” who killed or abducted more than 1,000 civilians in Israel are coming across the southern border separating the U.S. and Mexico, offering no evidence to support his assertion.
There has been a marked increase in Border Patrol apprehensions of individuals with matches on the U.S. terror watchlist over the past two years. But they represent a tiny fraction of all migrants processed along the southern border. Such incidents are more common along the U.S.-Canada border, and not all those on the watchlist are suspected terrorists.
Still, there are valid concerns about whether the U.S. has sufficient tools to ensure it detains all national security threats, including those entering the country clandestinely.
“Are terrorists flooding across the border? Probably not,” said Theresa Cardinal Brown, a former Department of Homeland Security official under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. “But at the same time, it is true that the large number of people arriving does have national security implications.”
