Geraldo Rivera: ‘Painful’ We Are Treating Migrants ‘As if They’re Zombies from ‘The Walking Dead”
breitbart.com ^ | 11/26/2018 | Pam Key

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.”

Let’s see... Non-productive beings that don’t belong in our country, sucking the life out of our economy, killing Americans... Yep, zombies.

All my ancestors, that I know of, were settlers and colonists, not immigrants.

But that’s not really the point. The point is that, unlike the “Native Americans” we’ve got a choice who we let in.

Even when Ellis Island was open, people were turned away. The three most common reasons were:
  1. Likely to become a ward of the state.
  2. Infected with communicable diseases.
  3. Criminal history.

All THREE of these are common among today's border crashing class.

What’s painful, is that he is still shooting his mouth off, with nothing but ignorance behind it.

Why doesn’t Geraldo go down to the Honduran border and throw rocks at the border agents and see if he doesn’t end up with a bullet between the eyes.

Wrong, they want welfare.

I don’t believe All of them kney they couldn’t get in. Whoever set this up probably told them the US needs them to harvest crops. And they know it’s the season.

Fox’s demise started the day Geraldo was hired. Simply inane statements such as this only put them further over the edge to being another leftist shill. If Fox want’s to stay relevant, they need to clean house of liberals such as Jerry Rivers, communist Richard Goodstein, ugly Jessica Tarlov and that awful Cathy Areu.

We have machines to wash dishes, much more sanitary,too. They don’t have illiterate children that cost tens of millions of tax dollars to attempt to educate. And they don’t have nasty children who kill our citizens in gang initiations. Our prisons bulge with lawbreakers from around the world.

Stay home and improve your home countries. We are awash in foreigners.

We aren’t going to absorb them all. We are only going to absorb enough that the Democrats can have cheap labor for the Dachas and that they’ll never ever have to worry about getting enough votes for their Permanent Elected Positions.

get used to it, Geraldo!
if they attack our border again, they could very easily meet with life fire and not just more and more humanitarian tear gas

The agents should throw rocks back at them. Watch them haul butt back to tent city. But hit a kid and the impeachment starts immediately.

That is believable, that a few thought they would be needed to harvest. But have they always needed to self-transport (walk) all the way up here in past years too? I would think harvesters would be transported by bus, round trip and with places to sleep, however spartan. I would expect the travel expenses to be paid by that corporate farmer. I could be completely wrong.

I would like to see them use high velocity, copper jacketed lead on the rock throwing criminals but that’s just me.
