They told you it was about compassion. They told you it was legal. But immigration attorney Esther Valdez Clayton breaks it down—and it’s not what the media wants you to hear. In this episode of The Rice Report, we unpack the real story behind illegal immigration, asylum loopholes, and why America’s legal system is being intentionally overwhelmed. Esther has over two decades of experience in immigration law—and she’s here to tell you how policy changes, activist NGOs, and misused parole programs have created chaos at the border. 👀 What You’ll Discover: Why most “asylum seekers” won’t win their cases—and never intended to The truth behind Biden’s mass parole program (and how it made illegals technically legal) How Catholic and nonprofit charities are driving the open border agenda The financial burden on U.S. taxpayers, schools, and social services Why ICE agents are under attack and who’s really behind it How illegal workers get paid in cash—while Americans foot the bill Whether you lean right, left, or somewhere in between, this is the side of the immigration story no one’s telling you. It's not about race. It's about law—and whether America still believes in it. 💬 Drop your thoughts below.
