On his nationally syndicated radio show Thursday, Mark Levin stated that “[n]o country can survive with open borders,” in response to the recent controversy over the United States’ immigration policies.

“It is pedal, gas pedal pushed down all the way to open borders,” Mark Levin said. “No country can survive with open borders – none. No culture can survive; no civilization can survive.”

Mark Levin’s comments came after the Trump administration has been criticized by media for its “zero-tolerance” immigration policy. President Trump, on Wednesday, signed an executive order halting family separation at the border.

Below is a transcript of Mark Levin’s remarks from his show Thursday:

No culture can survive; no civilization can survive. “But I fear we’re reaching a point, given the demographics in this country, where it’s becoming politically more difficult and soon impossible, to fix the course that we’re on.
