In 2010, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said that he didn’t think Democrats wanted to stop illegal immigration.
On Tuesday’s Hardball, the host went even further saying that Democrats “believe in illegal immigration” and this is why they “don’t really believe in border enforcement” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I think Republicans don't like illegal immigration. They don’t like it, and they want to hear a bill that’s going to work.
MICHAEL STEELE: They don’t like it, and what they remember is what was promised in 1986 that didn't happen under Reagan.
MATTHEWS: Of course it didn’t work. They were promised before. It’s like Peanuts.
STEELE: They were promised before, and they don't want to go down that road again.
MATTHEWS: The Charlie Brown.
STEELE: Which is why they’re saying we want a lock on the fence to be secured before we give you anything else.
MATTHEWS: How are they going to keep 30,000 guys on the border down there? How many years are we going to do it?
JONATHAN ALTER: As long as Republicans have anything to say about what goes on in Washington.
MATTHEWS: In other words you don’t want them to do it. So why should they trust you?
STEELE: [Laughs]
MATTHEWS: See, Democrats don't really believe in border enforcement, do they?
ALTER: Look.
MATHEWS: Do they?
ALTER: I don't know about other Democrats.
MATTHEWS: Do Democrats care about border enforcement?
ALTER: Leadership understands…
MATTHEWS: Do they believe in border enforcement?
STEELE: A lot less than Republicans.
ALTER: Less than Republicans, but enough…
MATTHEWS: Why don’t they believe in it? Why do they believe in illegal immigration, the Democrats?
ALTER: Right now it’s not even that big of a problem......

Running this through the Secret Decoder Ring, we get:
ALTER: Right now the cartel payoffs are coming through on schedule - and nobody in DC wants to mess that up.
Spend trillions registering 30 to 50 million new, freeloading DemocRATS and we can "cut illegal immigration by one third to fifty percent." Ya gotta be doing a lot of recreational drugs to think that's a good deal.
The Democrats are also contemptuous to what was long the bipartisan consensus on immigration and border control in this country.
Is Matthews on our side on this one?...he done not seem to be his total party whore self in the tone of of his questions
I would love to have Chris Matthews visit Texas and have that tingle running up his leg be a Gila monster.
I’ll bet Alter and Matthews and all the other Libs believe in their personal property and that their fences are borders that should be respected now don’t they?
I’m starting to think that the outside money to the Democrat party has dried up.

” Republicans voters don’t like illegal immigration. Many GOP congrescritters don’t care what the voters want. “
