Matt Walsh, the popular political broadcaster perhaps best known for his “What Is a Woman?” documentary, is now calling for DoorDash to be shut down for allowing illegal aliens to deliver food to Americans.
In a recent video he posted on TikTok, the host of “The Matt Walsh Show” decried “DoorDash employing illegal aliens, which is against the law.”
“Now honestly, the company should be investigated and shut down over this until they can ensure that they aren’t paying illegals. In a legitimate society, that’s what would happen.”
He explained: “We’ve all ordered food from DoorDash and had this experience. They tell you that a normal American driver with a name like Susan is on the way with your burrito in her Toyota Corolla, and then a military age Pakistani shows up to your home on a bike or something.
“And the reason this happens is because people sell their DoorDash credentials online. They sign up with a Social Security Number, then they sell the credentials to foreigners, many of them illegal aliens, sort of like the old taxicab medallion system.”
“And DoorDash knows this is happening. It’s a core part of their business model actually. Their app doesn’t punish it or monitor it, and they need to suffer consequences as a result. So does every other company that knowingly employs illegal aliens. If that happens, we will solve the illegal immigration problem overnight.
“Leftists would rather muddy the waters by pretending ICE had no reason to shoot this particular DoorDash driver, because if you’re talking about that, then you’re missing the much bigger and more important issue at hand.
“The best possible response to these people once we’re done enforcing the law and deporting every illegal aliens without apology is to be is to be honest about what we’re seeing every day in our own communities.”

DoorDash does not employ individuals in the traditional W-2 sense, but rather has independent contractors to deliver food from restaurants to local homes.
On its website concerning documentation needed to be a deliver person, it states: “Driver’s license or other form of ID (if dashing via bike only), Social Security number (for a background check only to determine contractor eligibility).”
In April 2024, Republican U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun and Ted Budd sent letters to DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub over “concerns that food delivery services are being hijacked by illegal immigrants intent on gaming the system.”
The senators said: “When they arrive in [American] cities, reports indicate that many rely on murky networks to earn money, including by paying active food delivery service account holders to use their accounts and deliver meals to Americans’ doorsteps.
“These illegal immigrants often pay hundreds of dollars weekly for access to these active accounts – without having to go through standard vetting procedures – and, in the process, they simultaneously gain access to the addresses and personal information of thousands of American citizens. The result is a black-market economy riddled with abuse and danger for your users.
“The danger to Americans – and specifically consumers using your services – is real. These illegal immigrants are delivering food directly to consumers’ doors without ever having undergone a background check and often without even using their real names. Deliveries routinely occur late into the night, compounding the dangerous situation, and – if the unimaginable happened – there would be little to no way to track the immigrant or bring them to justice.”
Eight months later in December 2024, DoorDash adopted changes to its driver-verification system.
Newsweek reported at the time: “New DoorDash protocols that must now be followed include requiring select ‘Dashers’ to re-verify their identity between deliveries; aided by deploying machine learning technology to better detect signs of inauthentic activity.”
“We’re always looking for ways to make the platform even safer and even more secure,” DoorDash spokesperson Jenn Rosenberg told Newsweek.
“The external landscape has changed drastically over the past decade, and we’ve consistently adapted to introduce new measures to keep all of our users safe.”
