Podcast host Joe Rogan said Tuesday that Democratic immigration policies fuel crime and political manipulation.

In an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan said the United States can recognize its immigrant roots and still enforce borders. He rejected the idea that compassion requires an open-door approach and insisted that any country must vet who enters.

“The whole thing is tough now because we’re a country that’s established by immigrants, but you can’t have an open border. You can’t just have anybody come through because there’s going to be a bunch of criminals that come through, and you don’t want that. You don’t want your country to be more crime infested,” Rogan said. “You don’t want your country to have murderers and cartel members just coming into the country and now getting citizenship and being able to vote and organizing, and that’s crazy. That’s a good way to destroy your country.”

Rogan said Democrats have turned illegal immigration into a political weapon, adding that mass illegal entry overwhelms cities, weakens enforcement, and serves partisan goals rather than public safety.

“When you just let everybody in, and you let in 10 million people, and how do you — unless they get arrested while they’re here — what do you do? And even then, like a lot of them during the Biden administration, they were getting let go. In sanctuary cities [they would let] people go. It’s just crazy,” Rogan said. “Because they just want a bunch of people in these swing states for the census. So they get more congressional seats, and if they get these people and give them the ability to vote, now you have a built-in voter base. You can just rig the election.”

Under former President Joe Biden’s CHNV migrant parole program, more than 530,000 foreign nationals were allowed into the U.S. with legal status and work authorization, which further strained an already overwhelmed immigration system. The CHNV program allowed nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States through a parole process that granted temporary legal status and work authorization, even though they did not enter through the traditional immigration system.

President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement push in 2025 prompted well over two million illegal migrants to leave the United States. After his return to the White House, Trump launched sweeping executive actions to tighten border security and expand immigration enforcement, which drove southern border encounters to the lowest levels ever recorded.
