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.”

And just what did Jerry Rivers have to say about it when “migrants” were gassed in 2013 when Obama was president? Anything at all?
“World War Z”
Any sympathy for the hundreds of thousands that apply for legal residency from their home country?
Pile bodies as high as it takes to dissuade
future ‘caravans’.
Then began mass deportation of illegals.
When this is accomplished, accept immigrants
legally.
The channel just happened to be turned to Fox News as he was saying this. When he said “people” it was like he had to go back and correct himself to interject “economic refugees” which is what the left is calling them now. Whorealdo got his talking points at the last minute it appears and his old age he forgot to s
Now that’s an insult to good zombies everywhere. The zombie’s in TWD are smarter.
So Geraldo, how many is enough? 5,000? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? Where, and when, do you draw the line, or do you?
I am sick to death of this “Nation of Immigrants” BS. We are a Nation of Citizens. We let some immigrants into the country with the idea that they will be come Citizens eventually and therefore become Americans, not hyphenated whatevers. Immigrants and legal residents are not yet citizens but if they at least take the steps to become citizens they are showing some commitment to this country. Illegals are just that, illegal aliens who owe loyalty to another country and should rightfully be kept out by all means possible.
Geraldo is wrong...
Is Jerry writing checks for the cost of his Foreign National Invader friends?? Then STFU Jerry!!
Yeah, I was trying to watch The Five, but I had to mute it when Jerry Rivers started whining - I could see from the video he wasn’t going to shut up, so we just found something on Netflix.
They lose so much of their audience because of Geraldo and Juan - why do they do that?
