LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of his 'Club Random' podcast, comedian Bill Maher sat down with model and actor Fabio to discuss pressing issues facing the United States, particularly focusing on immigration and its potential political ramifications for President Joe Biden.

Maher predicted that concerns about the southern border and illegal immigration will be President Joe Biden’s “undoing” come November.

"Immigration is probably the biggest issue in this election and in European elections," Maher told Fabio.

Bill Maher compares US immigration issue to fall of Roman Empire

Maher compared the current situation in the country and with the southern border to the fall of the Roman Empire.

"The forces that collapsed the Roman Empire are very similar to what’s happening today because migration around the world is always such a key factor," the comedian said as Fabio quickly agreed and told him he “nailed” it.

"I mean, the Roman Empire collapses because the Huns who were from north of Beijing, they were from north of China, and they fought with the Hun dynasty and then they migrated westward and then they put pressure on tribes that they were pushing out in eastern Europe… and then they moved into the Roman Empire, so it’s like when people are moving it just puts pressure on other people and everything changes," Maher elaborated.

Fabio, originally from Italy and now a US citizen, contributed to the discussion by highlighting the importance of secure borders in maintaining national security.

“I just feel like this is going to be Biden’s undoing,” Maher said about illegal immigration. The comedian previously argued that Democrats sticking by Biden after last week’s CNN debate will “regret it".

“And being in America, you know you have a lot of enemies so you really want to take care of your border because, you know, ISIS and —” Fabio began as Maher jumped back in.

“They caught eight ISIS guys last week!” he said.

Fabio noted he “went through the system” and argued that without proper control at the border, there is no way of keeping people with bad intentions from taking advantage.



 

“If somebody wants to come in your house, they should be coming from the front door, right? Not from breaking the rear window because when somebody breaks your window, it’s because they don’t have good intentions,” he said.
