A reporter on Fox News defended white supremacists over undocumented immigrants on Thursday evening.
“The white supremacists are American citizens,” Mark Steyn, a popular reporter on the network, told Tucker Carlson. “The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here.”
Steyn, who Carlson introduced as an “actual thinker,” was speaking about a segment on CNN in which Chris Cuomo ripped the Trump administration for making undocumented immigrants seem like “monsters” and “villains” while ignoring the threat posed by white supremacists.
“That may be well and true,” Steyn said, but added that it was “irrelevant” because the white supremacists were citizens.
“The organizing principle of nation-states is that they’re organized on behalf of their citizens, whether their citizens are cheerleaders or white supremacists or whatever,” he said.”
Steyn also complained of “cultural transformation” in Arizona due to immigration:
“In Arizona, a majority of the grade-school children now are Hispanic. That means Arizona’s future is as an Hispanic society. That means, in effect, the border has moved north and the cultural transformation outweighs any economic benefits that that lady was talking about.”
Carlson called it “bewildering for the people who grew up here.”
Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

Technically true.

Hey dumb ass! What part of
“The white supremacists are American citizens,” “The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here.”
isn't true?
I'm not saying that the white supremacists aren't evil and misguided but like it or not they are US citizens. While the illegals have broken our laws and have no right to be here.

Nice try Einstein but there is no statute anywhere that I know of that says racism in itself is a crime. There are statutes governing hate crimes driven by racism but the beliefs themselves aren't a crime. I do agree that racism is immoral and should be eradicated but that doesn't alter the fact your OP was nothing but pissing in the wind.
Whatever one thinks of the semantics of the statement, it only further solidifies what most Americans think of Trump, his administration, and Fox News.
If any Trump supporter believes this is the language that will engender greater support from the American people .. good luck with that.
Quite obviously you don't know who the American people are.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

True enough.The organizing principle of nation-states is that they’re organized on behalf of their citizens, whether their citizens are cheerleaders or white supremacists or whatever,” he said.”
I'm not happy with the xenophobia expressed by Carlson and that Laura Ingram woman though.
DACA needs a path to citizenship. you can't have a bunch of American raised kids stuck in 2nd class

The part initiated by that Cuomo? guy referenced above in which he stated white supremacists are a greater threat than illegal immigrants. Only then came the citizenship defense.
So I ask you, what part of "white supremacists are a greater threat than illegal immigrants" is untrue?
Feel free to use this visual aid in formulating your answer.

Who cares what passport white supremacists happened to carry - they are always, unequivocally, in every case, a subhuman piece of shit.“The white supremacists are American citizens,” Mark Steyn, a popular reporter on the network, told Tucker Carlson. “The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here.”
Irrespective of what country they come from I try to judge people on their character and humanity.
Is that not true of conservatives as well?

Conservatives almost all have revealed poor character by sticking with their unholy alliance with racist trash.
They must leave the Republican party or be seen at all times attempting to get racists out of their party. Without limitation, that means
at a minimum abandoning TRump and everything he does.

Gee I don't believe the holocaust which was a government program is comparable to what we have in the US today!
Now how many white supremacists are there breaking our laws every day versus how many illegals? Think carefully or your brain might explode.
ADDED: You like links was this considered Japanese supremacism?
