CNN, MSNBC Bemoan Deportation of People Whose 'Only Crime' Is Entering US Illegally

Someone breaks into your house. They're arrested before they attack anyone or steal anything. Should they be set free because their "only crimes" was illegally entering your house? According to Monday's MSNBC and CNN, the answer would apparently be "yes."

On Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire fretted:

"They said the first wave would be criminals, people who committed violent crimes. But we've also heard rhetoric from those in the administration, including Stephen Miller, who was the architect of this whole program, that suggests that eventually the targets will be people whose only crimes were to enter the United States illegally."

Similarly, over on CNN This Morning, CNN analyst Alex Thompson worried:

"The Trump administration's line, which is, it's just gang members and criminals. But in actuality, and Tom Homan has already said this over the weekend, is that there are what he calls collaterals. Which basically is, if they do a raid to find potential gang members, if there are any other undocumented immigrants that are even in their proximity, they're deporting them too. So it's not just gang members."

People from foreign countries being sent away because they are not supposed to be here.

Would those commentators want squatters in their homes to be left alone if they haven’t committed any other crimes?

First of all, ICE has been deporting criminals over the past couple of days and will continue doing so for a while. What the MSM is crying about hasn’t happened yet.

GMTA. From the article:

“Someone breaks into your house. They’re arrested before they attack anyone or steal anything. Should they be set free because their “only crime” was illegally entering your house? According to Monday’s MSNBC and CNN, the answer would apparently be ‘yes.’”

These so-called experts on our side. Get a set of tennis balls and tell the truth. If these illegals were voting Republican the media would be screaming to keep them out.

Should direct the illegal aliens to their homes. They can move in with the Mexican house keeper.

What about stealing money, housing, food, education, healthcare and other freebies from the American taxpayers. Aren’t those crimes too? Oh, and let’s not forget all those dead Americans. Especially young college girls training to be nurses. You CNN and PMSNBC maggots need to go bemoan yourselves with Selena Gomez. We don’t want to hear it.

Do the pro-illegals of all persuasions want the entire system of passports, visas, check points, entry points, nations, borders, citizenship, foreigners, natives, done away with?

You assholes called American taxpayers who entered the Capitol Building “criminals” and “insurrectionists”, despite them being the landlords of that building. And now you want to claim that illegals breaking the law to invade this country is no big deal.
