Bill Maher has sparked controversy with his comments on illegal immigration, specifically referencing Sweden's decision to open its borders to 1.5 million immigrants since 2010. Maher highlighted that 20% of Sweden's population is now foreign-born, which he correlates with the country having Europe's highest rate of gang-land killings and a declining education system. He criticized the liberal stance on immigration, suggesting that it has led to an increase in crime, and questioned the dismissal of these concerns as racist, stating, 'Blaming immigrants for the rise in crime is racist... Yeah but is it true? Of course it's true.' These remarks have ignited a debate on social media, with some users accusing Maher of racism while others support his viewpoint, indicating a broader discussion on the impact of immigration policies and framing it as the 'number one issue pushing people to the right.'
