Immigration on Rogan: guests argue over wages, vetting, crime and deportation
October 5, 2026 · 12 min read
Rupert Lowe presses for deportations and welfare limits in Britain, the Triggernometry hosts focus on wages and vetting, and Theo Von and Joe Rogan discuss immigration alongside crime and policing. Laying out which concern each speaker puts first separates the economic, security and fairness arguments that are often run together.
The rules, numbers and steps worth keeping in front of you.
- All the guests want tighter control, but for different reasons.
- Three separate cases: wages, vetting and crime, and fairness over cost and queues.
- Lowe: legality, welfare cost and culture; only limited, targeted immigration.
- Lowe proposes staged mass deportation in Britain; his claims go unchallenged on air.
- Foster: illegal immigration lowers poor workers' wages; he calls it a left-wing issue.
- Foster: speak of migrants humanely; smearing concerns as bigotry makes them fester.
- Kisin: a legal queue exists; spend on vetting instead of hotels.
- Rogan: the issue is vetting everyone, not any one group of people.
- Rogan: most migrants are hard-working; aim anger at policy, not people.
- Rogan: employers gain from workers with no rights.
- Rogan's test for deportation: how would it actually be carried out?
- Only Lowe makes culture and religion a ground for selection and removal.
- Britain and the United States differ; numbers do not transfer.
- No guest defends current levels, and every figure is a speaker's estimate.
