fox news host admits to federal crime

[moonshinegnomie]

"I have a childhood friend who lives in Spain who wants to come visit our family and cannot," the Fox News host explained, "because she's not vaccinated and our country doesn't allow people to legally come visit, you know, citizens of this country if they aren't vaccinated."

"I told her, I said, well, it's a longer journey but you could probably get across the border, the southern border," she added. "None of these people are having to follow the rules that, you know, other people are trying to fly into our country to visit. Many people are getting vaccinated still just to get into the country.




Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to
aliens. Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic
transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring
unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to
enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and
abetting any of the preceding acts. Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits
bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States
in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry.
Subsection 1324(a)(3)."

1. I doubt anything will come of it

And if they do arrest the person in Spain and Fox News host, they will arrest anybody coming across the border. Right now they allow many to cross to safety of our country if their are problem in their country.

2. Lol ... no they not admit to a federal crime, c'mon now

This is just more of the constant drone from the Reich-Wing media bubble intended to provoke white grievance, telling them in so many words that the blacks and browns are getting special privileges that you, white people, are left out of.

It's of course also intended as a jab towards Biden for his (non-existent) 'Open Borders policies'.

But it's not a federal crime because they're not aiding and abetting the actual process of undocumented immigration for any given individuals.

3. sounds illegal to me

(A)Any person who encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.

4. What Would a GOPer Do to someone who helped encourage an illegal border crossing? 🤔

.

Oh, because she's on Fox & Friends she gets a pass?

5. Well, actually they are encouraging their Spanish friend to commit the crime.

It would be fun watching that friend, when exiting this country, trying to explain the lack of an entry stamp on their passport and other paperwork. Not to mention that this Fox "News" idiot lying their ass off regarding our Southern border. They're basically setting up their friend to be apprehended and arrested by CPB.

6. The statute as quoted defines encouraging an unauthorized alien to enter a federal crime.

9. Campos-Duffy...she's Mexican herself. It figures that she would talk about "those people"...

...in such condescending terms. She has lived in such privilege all her life that she doesn't notice that it's the water she swims in.

She's been in the media since the '90s when she was on a lame MTV reality show. Somehow she parlayed that into a career of sorts without having anything close to a normal job. One of her occasional gigs appears to be a fill-in on the Sunday Fox and Friends.
