Interesting: the same slogan was used to turn down jewish migrants during WWII... "Always forget", indeed...

I flew over the USA recently. Looked bloody empty to me.

[Screenfunfacts]

Does that mean that there is no place for mail-order bride anymore? Melanie is his last chance in marriage?

[VianneyCreates]

Stephen was brutal here! I love how he called out Adelson and those applauding turning away immigrants facing persecution.

[notlikely]

Ok....so a guy who owns hotels and resorts...is saying "no vacancy"

Wow....that kind of buisness genius kinda explains all those bankruptcies

[ScottsSense]

btw, those asylum laws are international. USA is not being overly generous.

"Our country is full" Tell that to every midwest state ever, with miles of land in between homes.

[TI_Ted]

Woah, just when you thought your favourite show could not possibly get any better, this courageous, hard hitting and artful protest rocks your world of possibilities. Amazing.

[mattdylla]

We aren't being the neighbors Mister Rogers knew we could be.

[gveronique]

Your country is full? Ever been to Wyoming?

[barneytrubble]

To all workers who rely on the tourist trade...
....send all those tourists back home...
....the country is FULL!

[dmfamzo]

Give a raise to your writers : that was an epic fantastic masterpiece of a monologue!
👏👏👏

[Shon]

The last time a world leader suggested their country was full it was later followed by the declaration "We need Breathing Room" 1938 Germany I believe.

[jaym]

Oh, Mr. Colbert! You've done it again! 👏👏

[nancyprevost]

And who was that guy claiming more babies will solve climate change?
