http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/381927-fox-news-correspondent-i-think-that-this-whole-immigrant-crisisI think this immigrant crisis is manufactured, Rivera said. I think its an overreaction to the so-called caravan of 1,000 that is now broken up in the southern city around Puebla They are seeking asylum.

Rivera insisted with absolute certainty that illegal immigration was at a record low.
Illegal immigration across the southern border is near 46-year lows, Rivera said. We did have a spike in March, probably having to do with the demand for agricultural workers here in the southwestern part of the country.
"Isnt one murder, isn't one rape enough" to crack down on immigration, Hannity asked.

Video at the link. Hannity was losing the argument and ended that segment quickly.

Editing to add that I just read that Rivera made similar remarks on Fox & Friends this morning, where he had Brian Kilmeade agreeing with him at times, but the other two hosts arguing with him
And then Rivera ALSO called Trump's claims of voter fraud a manufactured crisis:

They didnt find any meaningful voting fraud, Rivera said. And then you had the caravan which conjured up a brown tide washing over the southern border, and all these people abusing our immigration laws.
I imagine that ruined Fox & Friends for Trump this morning.

(23,946 posts)years...only when Fox propagandize it did the Pavolian Trump salivate because creating Fear, any way how on any issue, is a top priority. Called March for Christ, seeking justice in Honduras as one issue.....but The Cult needs to be fed. And the MSM can not be bothered to use The Google to report facts, regurgitating The Lies and normalizing lies seems AOK for them.
MSM...where are you, you fuckers??

They are all whining because immigrant labor has gone underground (and are harder to find) or have moved back home because of Trump.
Here's an idea, pay your workers a decent wage.

(14,735 posts)very willing to pay well if they and their workers are allowed to work legally. In other words if their party (GOP) will enact proper rules and regulations for people to be here as guest workers. They are needed.

(2,226 posts)He immediately ordered troops to the border, plans to use them to build the wall, he said so, and also wants a base on the border. Its his way Of diverting funds hes been denied by congress and the military to his pet project, the wall,
So coulter will quit yelling at him.
I think he should go to the border and oversee this operation himself.

(3,506 posts)Hes personal friends and spends time at the Florida compound. He said Russia collusion was fake, that Тяцмр really knows what hes doing and that hes never seen the media attack a President like this. He also said Тяцмр really just wants people to like him and he panders to the far right nutjobs because theyre the only ones who respect him.
Fuck Geraldo.
