Raheem Kassam and Steve Bannon dissect the growing influence of big tech on U.S. immigration policies, warning that the current system, particularly the H1B visa program, exploits foreign workers and undermines American citizens and culture. They emphasize that unchecked immigration could lead the U.S. down a dangerous path and that tech elites are using immigration as a tool for power and control.

Here is what happened:
Raheem Kassam and Steve Bannon have been sounding the alarm for years about the dangers of mass immigration and the tech oligarchs driving it. In a recent discussion, they delved into the issue, shedding light on how immigration policies, especially the H1B visa program, are used to exploit workers and undermine American citizens.
Raheem, who has fought this battle for over a decade, described the current immigration system as a form of “indentured servitude.” He explained that big tech companies are bringing in foreign workers under these visa programs to fill jobs at cheaper rates, effectively pushing American workers aside. These tech companies, according to Kassam, don’t care about American culture or the citizens who have built the nation—they only care about maximizing profits.
"The tech oligarchs are using mass immigration to serve their own interests,” said Raheem. He pointed out that while these companies claim to be helping the American economy, they are actually exploiting foreign workers and displacing American workers who have paid into the system for generations.
The conversation took a sharp turn as Raheem warned that America could end up like the UK, where unchecked immigration has caused serious cultural and social issues. Raheem, who moved to the U.S. from the UK, said, "If you keep mass importing people, it’s akin to a nation heaping up its own funeral pyre.” He argued that the U.S. must learn from other countries’ mistakes before it’s too late.
Raheem didn’t hold back, calling out the tech elites for pushing an agenda that disregards American citizens. He highlighted how these elites have used their wealth and influence to shape U.S. policies that benefit them, not the American people. Raheem made it clear that these tech CEOs are playing a dangerous game, pushing for policies that harm American workers and culture, all while padding their own pockets.
"We should not tolerate it,” Raheem declared, referencing how big tech companies, while professing support for former President Trump, have consistently tried to control policy discussions. He stressed that while tech giants may attempt to align themselves with the right, they are ultimately only interested in manipulating the political system to maintain their power and influence.
Bannon added to the conversation, stressing the importance of standing firm against these tech oligarchs. He called for a clear distinction between supporting Trump’s America First agenda and allowing big tech to dictate U.S. policies. Bannon echoed Kassam’s sentiment, asserting that immigration is not just a policy issue, but one that goes to the heart of American values and the future of the country.
Raheem and Bannon both agreed that the American people must have a say in shaping immigration policy. They urged a broad, open discussion about legal immigration and the role of tech companies in influencing those policies. For Raheem, the issue was simple: "This is not just about a workforce. It’s about preserving what makes America great.”
In conclusion, Raheem Kassam and Steve Bannon issued a clear warning to those pushing for unchecked immigration policies: this is not the path America should take. The current system is broken, and it’s time for the American people to take back control of their future. The conversation on immigration is long overdue, and it’s one that needs to be rooted in what is best for American citizens, not global elites.
