Laura Ingraham on undocumented immigrants: "​This is an invasion of the country. They are invading"

Laura Ingraham on undocumented immigrants: "​This is an invasion of the country ... they want to tell you you can't say that anymore. They are invading the country"

INGRAHAM: Tens of thousands of people released into the country on a weekly basis. Really, on a weekly basis, because we don't have the space for them in detention and we just release them. I mean, what is this?

This is an invasion of the country. They want to -- they want to tell you you can't say that anymore. They are invading the country, but it's not even -- invading now isn't even accurate, because we're just letting them come in. It's not an -- is it really an invasion, when we're just basically saying “Come on in?”

The El Paso Domestic Terrorist. Fox has been pumping out the “Replacement” screed for months. Lying Laura and Fucker Carlson must have accounts at 4Chan and Qanon.

Plus they carry diseases and are all criminals. Age old tropes. The Johnson-Reed Act in 1924 set quotas for immigrants and completely barred people entering the country from Asia. Southern and Eastern Europeans had to be limited. The argument was that America would lose its soul. Harry Laughlin and the eugenics movement sought a scientific basis for descrimination and stoked fear in the population at- large to gain support (sound vaguely familiar?). The more things change..... I'd argue that our country does appear to have lost its soul, and it isn't because of folks coming in from other countries.

An invasion by these right wing terrorism inciters like Laura Ingraham. Time for America to stop ignoring this evil elephant in the room aka "Fox News". All the advertisers on that Network and its audience are responsible.
