“I can tell you a friend of mine is a federal judge in Italy, and he just retired because he told me, ‘Fabio, I mean, I cannot believe where our country is today,'” Fabio told host Bill Maher on the Club Random podcast. “And I said, ‘Why, what’s happening?’ He goes like ‘Number one, Italian citizen. They are fifth class citizens, not even second class. They’re fifth class citizen.’ ”

“Meaning?” asked Maher.

“Meaning then everything, the government supply everything to the immigrant. Everything’s for free for the immigrant. The pension plan is pretty much gone. You know, you have old people, 89 years old, they go and collect their pension plan. The government said, ‘Go home because we have no money.’ But in the meantime, they give free phone, free everything free [to the immigrant],” Fabio replied.

Following Maher’s comparison of the U.S. immigration crisis to both the fall of the Roman Empire and the similar migrant crisis in Europe, Fabio said: “America, you know you have lots of enemies, so you really want to take care of your border, because, you know, ISIS.”

“We seem unable to keep out anyone, and because the people are coming through the border now are not just from Central America, they’re from like China and like lots of people are saying, ‘Oh you can get in through there,’ and I just feel like this is going to be Biden’s undoing,” stated Maher.

Fabio also said ISIS wasn’t the only terror group infiltrating the U.S., mentioning other terrorist organizations that have become especially relevant amid the war in Gaza.

“I guarantee you Hamas, they have a lot of cells in the United States, as well as Hizbullah. Listen, if somebody wants to come into your house, [they] should come from the front door, right?” Fabio went on. “Not from breaking the rear window, okay? Because when somebody breaks your window, it’s because they don’t have good intentions. I came here legally, so, you know, many times people, they go, like, ‘Okay Fabio, you’re an immigrant, you came here,’ but I came here legally. I went through the system, and I became an American citizen.”
