"No form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India" - thus spake Charlie Kirk --- now killed !! :::: He also said - “Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty"

 Charlie Kirk was vocal about US immigration policies and frequently spoke out against migrants — legal or undocumented — entering America.

His most controversial remark came during the US-India trade negotiations, which caused significant uproar in political and social circles.

The conservative media personality told a TV channel: “Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. 

We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first".

Charlie Kirk on gun rights

Charlie Kirk stood unflinching in the aftermath of the Nashville school shooting which claimed six lives, including those of three children, and defended Americans’ right to bear arms despite mounting public support for stricter gun control laws.

“Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty,” he was quoted as saying. “So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero … But … I think it's worth it…”

He also drew a comparison between car deaths and gun deaths, saying that just as driving comes with a price, so too does the freedom to own a gun. Ironically, it was while answering a question on mass shootings at the Utah college that Kirk was killed.  

Charles James Kirk 

... was an American right-wing political activist, author, and media personality. 

He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA in 2012 and was its executive director. He was the chief executive officer of Turning Point Action and a member of the Council for National Policy.  

Charlie Kirk on abortion

In another exchange that went viral, Kirk was asked about his uncompromising stance against abortion and what his decision would be if his daughter became pregnant due to sexual assault.

“That’s awfully graphic,” Kirk said. “But the answer is yes, the baby would be delivered.”

Kirk had always maintained that his pro-life views stemmed from Christian teaching, which considers abortion to be murder. He called for abortion to be banned in its entirety without exceptions. 

“There is nothing called moral abortion. Every abortion is wrong,” he was quoted as saying.   

Charlie Kirk was one of the highest profile conservative activists and media personalities in the US, and a trusted ally of President Donald Trump.

He was shot dead on Wednesday at the age of 31 while hosting a college event for Turning Point USA, the organisation he co-founded, in what police are calling a targeted shooting.

President Donald Trump announced the shocking news of Kirk's death, paying tribute on Truth Social: "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie." Kirk was seen as both the future of conservative activism - as well as a highly polarising figure.
