American singer Kid Rock called for the removal of illegal immigrants in an interview with Sky News Australia host Paul Murray.

The comments highlight the ongoing cultural and political divide regarding border security and the enforcement of immigration laws in the U.S.

The interview was filmed as part of a travel-ogue series titled “Trump’s America: 250 Years in the Making” [1]. The documentary premiered July 1, 2024 [1]. During the segment, Murray said that the series is testing the temperature of America at 250 years old [1].

Kid Rock expressed opposition to open-border policies. He questioned the logic of allowing people to cross the border freely, asking, “Just to see anybody in this day and age just open up the border and run across it like what the f*** are you thinking man?” [1].

He urged for stricter enforcement and the deportation of those in the country illegally. “Get ‘em out” — that’s what we need to do about illegal immigration, Kid Rock said [1].

While the singer's comments on immigration have drawn attention, other reports regarding his business ventures have been disputed. Some media reports previously claimed that Kid Rock's restaurant in Nashville was shut down by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. However, those reports were unfounded, and the restaurant was not shut down by ICE [1].

““Get ‘em out” — that’s what we need to do about illegal immigration.”

The alignment of high-profile cultural figures with restrictive immigration rhetoric underscores the intersection of celebrity influence and national security debates. By framing the issue as a matter of common sense and national identity, such statements reinforce the political momentum for stricter border enforcement policies.
