Fox&Friends: "These aren't our kids...it's not like he is doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas

Fox & Friends host: "These aren't our kids. Show them compassion, but it's not like he is doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas

BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): The other thing that I think is the biggest joke that we're not addressing, it wasn't President Trump's idea to have everyone leave from Central and South America in June and well up at the border. Somebody has to deal with this issue. It doesn't matter who the president is. If you don't like his policy, he's also open to your policy rather than just criticizing his. He's trying to send a message to the other countries. This is not the way you do it because this is a country that has rules and laws. The port of entry will be one thing. We can bolster those laws, but we just can't let everybody in that wants to be here.

And these are not -- like it or not, these aren't our kids. Show them compassion, but it's not like he is doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country and now people are saying that they're more important than people in our country who are paying taxes and who have needs as well.


AINELY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Yeah, well he just wants to make sure we vet who's coming across the border, in case it's MS-13 or drugs.

Empathy and sympathy are meaningless, and the possibility that such things could ever happen to their children cannot penetrate their consciousness.

All just to create more fear in The Cult. Textbook fascism. Disgusting and transparent and it has to end.

Say what you really think. They are not human anyway.

Kilmeade downplayed the study’s significance in America, saying “we [Americans] keep marrying other species and other ethnicities . . . Swedes have pure genes . . . in America we marry everybody...”

Not a Nazi, just a very good impersonation of one. Very good ... almost lifelike.

If it 'quacks' like a bigoted Nazi buttwipe, it probably is one no matter how you relabel it and wrap it up in red, white and blue.

Oh, right! I read all his tweets and he DEFINITELY is open to our policy!

The children are not part of the white race, tied by "blood and soil" to the rural white culture of the US.

Therefore they are not human and need to be treated like some invasive predator, caged and drugged

And we have a major American media outlet saying this
