Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly blasted an MSNBC panel for its “sneering” at American voting who consider illegal immigration a major political issue. For years, Democrats have downplayed the concerns of American citizens that illegal immigration is out of control and should be stopped, reducing their opinions to “racism” or “xenophobia.”
Kelly shut down the panel, which featured an assortment of liberal personalities such as Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki, and Joy Reid, pointing out the consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s failure with border security. The host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” and her guest Rich Lowry, Editor of the National Review, cited countless examples of of how illegal aliens have impacted Americans.
The segment began, playing a clip from the MSNBC co-hosts dismissing the concerns of Americans in non-border states such as Virginia and New Hampshire about illegal immigration. The overall sentiment from the overtly liberal panel was that illegal immigration was an issue that is politicized by the Republican Party to stoke fears from Americans toward foreigners.
Kelly began her critique, stating, “Tell it to the family of the 14-year-old girl in Campbell County, Virginia, who was just sexually assaulted by an illegal from Venezuela who’s now been arrested and charged after he crossed illegally into El Paso, Texas in September of 23 this past September and released into the United States by the feds.”
Directly calling out a point from Jen Psaki on Virginians being concerned about illegal immigration, Kelly continued, “About one eight Virginia residents today was born in a foreign country. One in four very young people, as a foreign-born parent in Virginia, in Fairfax County public schools, roughly 20% of students struggle to speak English. Migration has completely reshaped the Commonwealth of Virginia, where I used to live as well. This is why they laugh and sneer at their own peril. They’ll learn in November what the truth is.”
Lowry chimed in, “Well, Rachel Maddow should, should go to the South Side of Chicago and meet with the local residents who are outraged … Migrants are being moved into their community center, right and with the community center for their teenagers, their at-risk teenagers, the kind of people that Rachel Maddow supposed to care about, and there’s no reason that people from another country should just walk into the country and go to their community center.”
“So this is a national crisis. It’s not a manufactured thing. If Trump didn’t exist and no Republican was talking about the border at all, people would still feel this way, right, because they see it all around them,” the National Review editor continued. “But even if you never, you know someplace in the middle of the country that literally never, you never encounter an immigrant, it doesn’t mean that you can still not be outraged by what’s happening at the border,” he added.
Highlighting how the political goalposts have shifted so far, another person said, “So this is, this is ridiculous. It just goes to just how radical they’ve gotten on this issue. Joe Biden, 2030, years ago did not sound the way he does now on the board and says we have to stop illegal immigration. Bill Clinton said we have to stop illegal immigration. But even doing that now is is considered a nasty and retrograde and only people in the throes of deep racial fantasies believe in it.”
