Jim McMahon, former NFL quarterback and cannabis industry participant, expressed concerns about the impact of open border policies on the U.S. economy and society.
He called for the closure of borders to address illegal immigration and criticized excessive government spending.
McMahon also highlighted the challenges faced by the cannabis industry in securing financial services due to federal regulations.
“I’d close the d— borders for one and then go find all the people that got in here illegally,” McMahon said. “It’s ridiculous. We’re paying all this money as taxpayers, and it’s not helping us at all. We’re sending it all overseas, you know. Who knows where we’re sending it, but it’s not being used here in the states.”
He supported the SAFER Act, aiming to provide protections for financial institutions serving state-sanctioned marijuana businesses.

“You look at California. They get the most money every year for homelessness, and they got the worst homeless population in the country or probably the world. There’s just so many things going wrong. We got to just stop the crazy spending and printing money and close our borders and let’s clean house.”
“We’re trying to get the message out about this cannabis plant and about fair banking. We’re trying to bring awareness, not only to the cannabis industry but things that are going bad in this country,” McMahon said.
“We’re going to make a little bit of noise. We might get some votes just for the cannabis part. We’re gonna have some fun with it. We’re gonna try and grow our brand and make people aware about this plant. We’ll see what happens.”
