Monday on Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera said he was “ashamed” of the way migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border are being treated.
Discussing border patrol agents using tear gas, Rivera said. “This goes to my soul. Fulfilling my role as the designated piñata on Fox News, I want to say I am ashamed. The tear gas choked me. We treat these people — these economic refugees — as if they’re zombies from ‘The Walking Dead.’ We arrested 42 people, eight of them were women with children! We have to deal with this problem humanely and with compassion. These are not invaders. Stop using these military analogies. This is absolutely painful to watch!”
He added, “We are a nation of immigrants. These are desperate people. They walked 2,000 miles. Why? Because they want to rape your daughter or steal your lunch? No. Because they want a job! They want to fill the millions of unfilled jobs we have in the agricultural sector. They want to wash dishes in the restaurants. They want to deliver the pizzas. For goodness sake! We suspend our humanity when it comes to this issue, and I fear that it is because they look different than the mainstream.”

Whorealdo is an open borders idiot.
Actually, we’re treating them exactly like security would treat an unauthorized person who tried to sneak into the studio where Geraldo muttered this inanity.
Notice how he uses the term "economic refugees". That makes the term refugee as traditionally understood meaningless. The billions of people who earn a few dollars a day would qualify for being a "refugee" just as much as the Central Americans in Tijuana.
What a jackass.
He then admits, that these people are not seeking asylum. They are not eligible for asylum if they are coming here allegedly to seek work.
So hire a few dozen yourself, Gerry. Feed, clothe, and house them while you’re at it.
L
Does he know we have laws preventing invasions like this?
Oh Please. You are the only one it did choke. As we now know that photo of that fat thing with 4 year olds in diapers was STAGED.
It was a photo opportunity designed to fool morons like you.
Hey, Jerry. Get together with some of your rich buddies and spend some of your millions and build some businesses - in El Salvador.
Look! It’s Capone’s Secret Vault!
With all the money he has he could support a dozen migrant families. Why doesn’t he volunteer to take some of them into his house.
WE CAN’T ABSORB ALL THE WORLDS POOR PEOPLE
What a joke this idiot has become (actually always has been). He’s now a parody of himself.
Human shields.
And we already have enough people capable of washing dishes.
Trump should let a few dozen in and settle them all in Jerry’s neighborhood.
They will be if they insist on invading our country.
“These are desperate people.” TRUE.
“They walked 2,000 miles.” LIE. IN DIAPERS, FLIP FLOPS, and BARE FEET!?
“Why? Because they want to rape your daughter or steal your lunch?” MAYBE.
“No. Because they want a job!” GET IN LINE. THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THEY DON’T NEED ASYLUM.
“They want to fill the millions of unfilled jobs we have in the agricultural sector. They want to wash dishes in the restaurants. They want to deliver the pizzas.” WOW! THIS IS RACIST. ONLY GOOD TO WORK FIELDS, WASH DISHES, AND DELIVER PIZZAS!!
“For goodness sake! We suspend our humanity when it comes to this issue, and I fear that it is because they look different than the mainstream.” TOTAL LIE! ALL WE WANT IS OUR LAWS TO BE FOLLOWED!
Everyone south of the border wants to come here. Open up the border and put up a sign that says
“Bienville a Estado Unidos”
and you’ll see a REAL crisis.
I guess when the Obama regime used tear gas over 100 times in similar circumstances that was OK. Didn’t seem to bother him then.
