However, Maher argued that while former President Joe Biden’s border policies were ineffective, the issue of illegal immigration isn't solely his fault. Maher pointed out that California is also contributing to the problem by offering free health care to illegal immigrants. Because California is a border state, Maher claimed that such benefits act as an incentive for people to cross into the U.S. illegally. In short, Maher believes policies like California’s are encouraging illegal immigration, not just federal border enforcement failures.

Moutlon isn’t the first person to argue illegal aliens should be given free kickbacks for coming into the U.S. illegally.
