Charlie Kirk: Trump Being Pressured Into ‘Mass Amnesty’ Deal

Charlie Kirk says major people in the "ruling class" are pushing President Trump to give amnesty to illegal aliens working on farms, hospitality, and service industries.

"I can tell you that there are many different discussions that I’ve had with people, and they are pushing it hard—to create some kind of amnesty proposal aimed specifically at farm laborers in the United States."

"If you want to break our coalition, go and push amnesty. That right there would be a complete collapse of everything that we have worked for -- everything," Kirk said. "The corporate class is deathly afraid that they might actually have to hire Americans and pay a higher wage."

"Somehow, other countries are able to grow food without imported serf labor. How are they able to do that? I don’t know," he said.

CHARLIE KIRK: We're gonna talk more about the profundity and the importance of the [Big, Beautiful] bill, but it is of great, urgent necessity that we cover what is coming next.

...

You would think that, hey, we got $175 billion for ICE, we're gonna get mass deportations. We're gonna be able to have now the largest deportation effort ever. Yes, in theory. But in practice, there's something else afoot.

Literally, the day before President Donald Trump was signing the big beautiful bill, I got a couple phone calls from people that you would call "members of the ruling class." A lot of money and a lot of connections.

They said, “Charlie, isn’t this amazing? We passed the big beautiful bill.”

I said, “Oh yes, sir.”

And they said, “Now we need mass amnesty.”

What?

I said, “We haven’t even signed the bill yet.”

They said, “Yeah, you know, these deportations—we're gonna lose the midterms because of the deportations. The people on the right, they’ll understand. And we need to come to the middle and we need to legalize the 25 million people here in this country.”

I was speechless. Because here I am, actually thinking—a little naïve—we're gonna sign this big beautiful bill, and we’re actually going to get mass deportations uninterrupted from an asymmetrical attack.

So we have somewhere between 20 to 150 million illegal aliens in this country. We don't actually know the numbers. These are all guesstimates. These are all just approximations.

And there is a movement afoot as I am doing this broadcast—and this is bigger than anything with Epstein. This is bigger than anything with tax cuts. It is happening right now in Washington, D.C., and I can say this from firsthand experience: people are pushing President Trump for amnesty.

They are pushing him for mass legalization of illegals.

Now, President Donald Trump, of course, would never push for amnesty. But President Donald Trump said something at a rally on July 3rd, and my phone lit up like you wouldn’t imagine.

President Donald Trump was talking about potentially doing a bipartisan compromise deal for illegals that have stolen Social Security numbers, that are illegally domiciling themselves here in the country, that are all felons. Every single one of them are felons. They're just not yet indicted felons. But if they’re here illegally, you’re a felon. It’s against federal law. We've gone through all the different federal laws that you break by being here.

And this is President Donald Trump speaking at the Iowa rally, saying that we might need to do some form—he didn’t use the word "amnesty"—but some form of soft amnesty.

And I can tell you now, through other reporting that I’ve been able to do and phone calls, there is a major push right now to do a bipartisan amnesty deal. A major push.

People are trying to push the president: “Hey, you got the money for ICE. Now we need to go move to the middle on immigration.”

CHARLIE KIRK: "Let the farmers be responsible." Look, I trust President Trump’s instincts 100% here. But there is a group of people that are pushing President Trump very hard to stop the deportation effort and to try to have some sort of a come-to-the-table moment of a bipartisan compromise, that we need to try to figure out how to make these people have a pathway to citizenship.

Now, this is not by any means a knock on President Trump. It is a knock on people that are trying to pressure President Trump—and pressure him hard.

We don't know any of the details, but President Trump did say that the radical right people—that he has a soft spot for—wouldn’t like this.

Hello. Hi. I’m one of those radical right people. And I want to know what I’m not gonna like. Because of all the different stuff that’s in front of us, if you want to break our coalition, go and push amnesty.

That right there would be a complete collapse of everything that we have worked for. Everything.

So we don’t know any details, but it looks as if President Trump might be in preliminary discussions. And I can tell you that there are many different discussions that I’ve had with people, and they are pushing it hard—to create some kind of amnesty proposal aimed specifically at farm laborers in the United States.

But it’s more than that. It could be hotels, it could be leisure properties. We’ve heard the arguments about this for years:

“Well, the crops are gonna rot in the fields. There’ll be starvation.”

But here's the main thing that you need to know: we’ve tried this before. This is not some sort of new thing.

And by the way, just so we are clear, I went to an event this last weekend in San Diego. JD Vance was there, and another person came up and said, “Charlie, do you know what we need? We need to have some sort of pathway to citizenship for 25 million people.”

I said, “Are you guys all on some sort of group chat or something? Are you guys all just coordinating?”

We have not even had 48 hours of the largest investment in border security, deportation, and ICE—why are you pitching me on mass amnesty?

What is that all about?

There’s a lot of reasons for this, and one of which is the corporate class is deathly afraid that they might actually have to hire Americans and pay a higher wage.

Somehow, other countries are able to grow food without imported serf labor. How are they able to do that?

I don’t know. Apparently, we have built so many parts of our economy to be reliant on foreign criminal invaders that have come into this country.

And some people say, “Oh, we have to allow farmers to transition.”

No. You deport them back to their country of origin. All of them. We did not run on mass amnesty. We ran on mass deportations. We did not run on, “Well, you know, you can transition.” Because you know who told us the transition?

And I’m gonna go into this in the next segment.

We tried the transition argument. And we were told, “Hey, if we do this, Hispanics will vote Republican for a generation. Hispanics will vote right wing for a generation.”

And Ronald Reagan tried this in 1986. And what is so frustrating—unspeakably frustrating—is we are winning Hispanics in a way we’ve never won them before because we are so firm on immigration. It was running against amnesty that got us Hispanic support.

And I don't want to hear people say, “Well, this is how we beat the Democrats.”

We just beat the Democrats. We know how to beat them.

Don’t tell me—the Karl Roves of the world—“Well, now here’s how I beat the Democrats.” Everything you have suggested the last 20 years has been wrong: on trade, on immigration, on the deep state, on the administrative state, on the Iraq war, on foreign policy—it’s all been wrong.

But now, in the year of our Lord 2025, I have to now be lectured that we are going to win back Hispanics—even though we’re already winning back Hispanics—by compromising the core base and the core campaign promise of our coalition?

I have full faith in President Trump that this will be largely rejected. But the push is on.

And President Trump does this a lot. It’s kind of a rhetorical practice. He’ll throw it out at a rally—“Do you like it? Do you not like it?”

We're gonna talk about it like a trial balloon. He crowdsources his polling.

But I can tell you—I know some of the people that are pushing some of this stuff.

And we’re gonna talk more about it, because it’s been tried before.

And this is a red line.
