A video posted by a Somali-American man has gone viral on social media, and it has sparked intense anger and debate. In the clip, the man openly mocks Americans, especially white Americans, claiming they work so he can stay home, live for free, and receive government benefits.
He uses profanity and dehumanizing language, saying that Americans work for him and that even the U.S. government serves him. The tone of the video is deliberately insulting and provocative, and that is exactly why it has spread so widely online.
The video was discussed on the Steve Deace Show, where host Steve Deace argued that the clip exposes what he sees as the failure of a version of Christianity and politics driven by emotion rather than strict adherence to Scripture. According to Deace, this moment did not appear out of nowhere. He believes it is the result of years of open-border thinking that ignored practical and moral consequences.
Deace explained that earlier in his life, when he was newly Christian and entering politics, he struggled with immigration issues. He often heard arguments from pastors, nuns, and business leaders who said immigrants were simply people looking for a chance at a better life. At the time, he says, those arguments sounded compassionate and convincing, and he was sympathetic to them.
He recalled one experience that he says completely changed his thinking. A man he described as being in the country illegally was attending the University of Iowa, which Deace called one of the most prestigious public universities in the country.
Deace invited him on his show, and the conversation was friendly and sympathetic at first. But then Deace asked a direct question: what would he say to families whose children were denied a place at that university because the spot was given to him instead?
According to Deace, the man’s response shocked him. The guest expressed no guilt or remorse at all. He argued that the United States was built on stolen land, that it was an illegitimate country, and that Americans had exploited other parts of the world for centuries.
From his perspective, Americans owed him, and he felt entitled to whatever benefits he could receive. Deace says the tone and attitude of that response were very similar to what people are seeing now in the viral Somali video.
That moment, Deace claims, was when his perspective shifted. He says he realized he had been emotionally manipulated and that he had confused kindness with ignoring responsibility and boundaries. From then on, he decided not to rely on what people claimed God’s character should be, but instead to look directly at Scripture.
Deace pointed to biblical examples to support his argument. He cited the Book of Nehemiah, which includes the rebuilding of walls and enforcement of boundaries.
He also referenced the story of the Tower of Babel, where God disrupts humanity’s attempt to unite into a single global structure. To Deace, these stories show that borders, limits, and national distinctions are not opposed to faith, but part of divine order.
In his view, many Christians wrongly assumed that faith requires open borders and unconditional acceptance of everyone who wants to enter the country.
He argues that this mindset has led to the current situation, where, as he sees it, some immigrants openly show contempt for the country that supports them. The viral video, he says, is simply the most visible and blunt expression of that attitude.
Deace described what he believes is a growing sense of arrogance among illegal immigrants who feel untouchable.
He claims they no longer fear politicians, laws, or consequences, and that they openly mock the system while benefiting from it. To him, the laughter and insults in the viral clip are not just offensive, but revealing.
Whether people agree with Deace or not, the video has clearly touched a nerve. It has intensified debates over immigration, national identity, faith, and responsibility.
For supporters of Deace’s view, the clip confirms long-held warnings about open borders. For critics, it raises concerns about using one person’s hateful speech to justify sweeping judgments about entire communities. Either way, the video has become another flashpoint in an already deeply divided national conversation.
