Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday lamented that the American we know and love doesnt exist anymore because of demographic changes in the country that she blamed on illegal and legal immigration.
Ingraham was reacting to comments from Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who described in a recent podcast interview the way the country has changed over the past few decades, including the decline of the upper-middle class.
Shes kind of right in a general sense, Ingraham said after mocking Ocasio-Cortez's comments.
In some parts of the country it does seem like the America we know and love doesnt exist anymore, Ingraham continued. Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people. And theyre changes that none of us ever voted for and most of us dont like.
Now much of this is related to both illegal and, in some cases, legal immigration that of course progressives love, she added.
Ingraham went on to argue that Democrats oppose enforcing immigration laws, which is harming the country. She called for improved border security, the end of sanctuary city policies and the closure of immigration loopholes.
"Remember the old Democrats maybe some of them Ocasio-Cortez is referring to they used to think that borders mattered," she said. "But the new activists believe enforcing immigration laws is essentially an ongoing human rights violation."
Ingraham's comments quickly went viral on social media, with some reporters and pundits accusing her of using white nationalist rhetoric.
President Trump has made cracking down on immigration a cornerstone of his administration. He has repeatedly called on Congress to pass stricter laws and has called the existing U.S. immigration policies the "worst" in the world.
The administration sparked bipartisan backlash when it implemented a "zero tolerance" policy for individuals who cross the border illegally.

The Hispanic Caucus, LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC and the myriad of other groups have little trouble distinguishing who is Hispanic. Race or not
My wife is from the Philippines. On her birth Certificate, her race is listed as Brown. ;) No joke !!!
That’s why you should never get rid of ANY book. I was able to pick up an original set of Encyclopedia Britannica from 1872. Leather bound in good shape. Picked it up at an estate sale for a steal. The book that should be guarded is an old King James Bible. The day is coming when you will be tested. Fear not says Jesus.
I’m not surprised. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
The Immigration Act of 1965 (AKA the Hart-Celler Act) is the root of the problem.
When this bill was being debated, this is what Emmanuel Celler, a jewish congressman from Brooklyn/Queens, and his ilk promised:
“Uniting in the insistence that their proposal would allow only minimal growth of immigration, they played up the symbolic importance of erasing the old system.
“Celler, for example, dismissed concerns about immigration-driven population growth as “totally irrelevant since the bill before you in no way significantly increases the basic numbers of immigrants to be permitted entry. We are not talking about increased immigration; we are talking about equality of opportunity for all peoples to reach this promised land.”
“In another attempt to discredit the alarmists, Celler said, “Since the people of Africa and Asia have very few relatives here, comparatively few could immigrate from those countries because they have no family ties in the United States.” “
Emmanuel Celler was a liar.
This law was sold to a naive populace and Congress under false pretenses.
This law must be revoked.
Wise. Complete faith in Lord God the Father, and His only Son Jesus Christ will get you through anything. Anything. You just have to believe and put yourself completely in their hands for whatever it is God’s will requires. And you will get through one way or another. God will never let me down. He won’t always say “yes” but he will always carry me eventually.
Yes, and these changes have in large measure unfortunately been fueled by anti-white prejudice and hatred. I don't care what someone's color or heritage is, but if they want to become (or already are) Americans I want them to love and care about America and all Americans.
This is the GHW Bush plan for North Mexico.
It’s been a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.
We would not vote for the New World Order so they are importing people who will.
She's right but for the wrong reason.
It doesn't exist any more because of failed democratic, liberal policies.
“A moratorium on immigration (except rare circumstances) would benefit this country.”
Agreed. At the very least, lets follow the law of the land:
Legislators MAKE the laws; the executive branch ENFORCES the laws we have.
The people of this country don’t even know what laws are being enforced anymore. I bet $10 the idiotic legislators we have passing as the people’s representatives don’t even know their job within the Constitution. That’s why they blame the President for enforcing immigration laws...
Why has no one noted that the Headline is NOT what Ms. Ingraham actually said.
Manifestly true and getting truer day by day. And the aim of the Demonrat Party.
It’s not nearly the browning of America to deplore, but the un-Americanizing of America by those who do not embrace its founding principles.
>>>the America we know and love doesnt exist anymore
So Laura Ingraham doesn’t love America?
She never said any of whats in the title.
Ingraham
What she said:

But she did say the America we know and love doesnt exist anymore. So by her own words she does not love America as it exists today.
