CNN's Lemon Likens Border 'Emergency' to Gun Violence

On Friday's CNN Tonight, conservative CNN contributor Steve Cortes was outnumbered 2-1 as host Don Lemon and frequent guest and Donald Trump critic Rick Wilson lambasted him for supporting President Trump's plan to declare a national emergency to build a border wall.

Lemon argued that the border situation is no more of an emergency than is gun violence, and repeated an inaccurate and frequent CNN claim that asylum seekers from Central America are not breaking the law by crossing the border without permission.

Wilson declared that President Trump "hates brown people so much" that he was unwilling to approve a DACA extension to gain border wall funding, and then further tore into the President as he added:

This is a President driven by a degree of racial animus that is absolutely evident in all of this. These descriptions of these people are all MS-13 murderers coming across the border. You know, those deadly little six-year-old girls with a Hello Kitty backpack trying to get across the border. Oh, they're the worst possible terrorists coming to threaten our jobs.

WOW! Has sourpuss changed his name to 'stretch'? And the 'guests' ain't much better. So 'stretch' is your fancy apartment left open and accessible 24/7/365? If not, why not. Are you stingy? Do you not care to share what you've gotten/achieved in life to this point? Why not? Until you pony up, shut up.

There are 20 million illegal aliens in the US. There were 17K murders last reported year per the FBI (2017). The problems are not of the same size. Not even close. Crimmigration is a MUCH bigger problem than violent crime in the US. And the rate of violent crime in the US has fallen substantially in the last 20 years, while the number of foreign invaders in the US has risen. Illegal aliens benefit the few by working cheap, and the rest of us citizens pay for their emergency health care, and their other government benefits like education for their children. It’s not in the interest of the citizens of the US to have open borders, and it’s long past time for Operation Wetback II to send them home (mandatory eVerify is another winning strategy too).

This is part of the MSM push to say “you better not do this or the next Rat POTUS will use it on gun control”. Well that is a BS smokescreen. There is no constitutional amendment that guarantees on open border a-hole.

Ladies and Gentlemen, these weeks official Globalist-Soros talking point is:

Gun Violence > Border Emergency.

You’ll be hearing this in all the usual places.

Also, don’t forget - “Orange Man Bad™”!!!

Pay no attention to one of the stupidest men on TV. Stupid, and proud of it, even though he doesn’t know he’s stupid.

I wish I was a billionaire. I would spend every last dime to illegal aliens to break down walls in mass to dem properties and squat and n them, and I would keep them coming until the police give up responding to their calls

If there is no emergency, why do wealthy Democrats live in places like these?

Lemon argued that the border situation is no more of an emergency than is gun violence

So he finally admits that illegals are killing Americans? That's interesting.
