Fox's Jeanine Pirro on immigration: "We are promoting a lower level of human being"

[634-5789]

Yeah. She said that.

JEANINE PIRRO (HOST): Let's not kid each other. This isn't some asylum-seeking group, all of them, for sure. What we've got now is a cartel, who is in the business of bringing young children 2,000 miles, where those children are being abused, they're being molested, and even Juan said that 20 percent of them don't even have family members here. And then I spoke to a woman who owns a newspaper, who said to me, "These kids aren't even being fingerprinted. They're not taking DNA from them. We're not giving them to the right organizations. People are just showing up and taking kids."

In addition to that, the cartels have people inside the United States, where they're using social media for the young men that are being brought in, to get these young men from these countries to -- to ease the facility -- the facilitation of drug cartels and the movement of drugs. So in addition to child sexual assault, human trafficking, drug cartels -- and we're not talking about marijuana anymore, we're talking about fentanyl and we're talking about heroin. This is a total disaster. There is no border, there is no wall. We are a sovereign nation. We have a right to be a sovereign nation and decide who comes into this country. And anyone who thinks that we're just a landing -- a globalist landing point is -- is out of their mind.

We're spending 86 million dollars for 1,200 families to get them hotel rooms, while we've got 10 million Americans out of work? We've got 10 million Americans who are going to be competing with people for jobs? It's not about politics. When that sheriff said to me, "Jeanine, this is modern-day slavery." The bringing of these children into this country, where they will be forever connected to a cartel, is slavery. What we're doing here is we are promoting a lower level of human being, who will be controlled from other countries. So stop trying to make this about this is who -- not who we are. This is about crime coming into this country and it's a reality. And we're losing.

1. Not sure Pirro is qualified to opine on "lower level" human beings

Blackout drunk driving over 100 mph is more of a recipe for humility than haughtiness, Jeanine.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Speaking of lower level human beings, has she looked in the mirror lately?

Like all Fox hosts, she doesn't worry about telling the truth. It's easier to keep people stirred up (and watching) if you tell them lies.

[Oldem]

3. That's the position of the Right in a nutshell. We're a higher

level of human being, thus we deserve to rule everything at all times. Everybody else is a lower level of humanity.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. She got fired for that statement, right?

And all the evangelical people called and told her how wrong she was, right?

Oh, what am I saying?

[snowybirdie]

5. I heard that

same excuse back in the 50s as a child about African Americans. A old navy buddy of my dad's was visiting. I was shocked even then. It sounded so very wrong!

[Initech]

6. Man Fox is really going all in on hardcore racism aren't they?

[uponit7771]

7. +1

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

15. Yup.

Racism trumps all.

[BlueNProud]

16. It's all they got unfortunately its a powerful weapon.

[MuseRider]

8. Then most of us are low level

as we immigrated and we put the upper level people in reservations.

I have seen and heard a lot in all my years but I never thought I would ever again hear a statement like that, said out loud in public over the airwaves for anyone who might listen or read about.

[Dawson Leery]

9. Fox "News" is "The Crusader" (KKK propaganda rag) in broadcast.

[lagomorph777]

10. If "We" means "Fox" then I agree.

[PortTack]

11. She and her ilk at fux snooz are the"lower level" human beings

[Cicada]

12. All immigrants are called lower level by many

Benjamin Franklin said the Germans in Pennsylvania, considered not white by him, they were typically from southern Germany then, would never be good citizens because they would not learn English. Jews were said to be too dumb to make it in America. On and on.

[abqtommy]

13. That comment comes directly out of The Fascist Handbook. These statements do not

support anybody's mental health.

[jcgoldie]

14. Jesus christ

What a load of racist horseshit.

[XanaDUer2]

17. is she of Italian ancestry?

'Nuff said

[LiberalFighter]

18. I'm sure there are a lot of humans in the USA that are lower than many of the immigrants.
