MTV VMAs: How America Treats Immigrants 'Unconstitutional,' 'Disgusting'
newbusters.org ^ | 8/27/2019 | Karen Townsend

Who knew that a star of the show GLOW on Netflix was a constitutional scholar? She's not, and yet, actress Alison Brie declared with certainty on the stage of the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards Monday night that what America is doing to immigrants is “unconstitutional and frankly disgusting."

As Brie and singer French Montana presented the award for Best Latin Video, they conflated legal and illegal immigrants. While French Montoya wants to be the "voice" of immigrants, as one himself, and said, "we are the people that make this country," he didn’t mention he legally immigrated. Brie chimed in, “What’s happening to immigrants in this country is unconstitutional and frankly disgusting”:

MONTANA: Everyone in music knows that the artists nominated for Best Latin Video are a global force.

BRIE: Their music is the soundtrack for the entire world. Wherever you go, every country on every continent, people are listening to it. The videos don't get millions of views, they get billions.

MONTANA: I'm so proud to pronounce this award, because as an immigrant, I feel like we are the people who make this country. And I feel like I want to be the voice.

BRIE: What’s happening to immigrants in this country is unconstitutional and frankly disgusting.

MONTANA: And can I get a hand for that? These nominees and most of them are immigrants, too, are on top of the biggest movement in music. Check them out.

Sheesh! "entertainers". What don't they know? Total IQ of the combined gaggle=less than zero. Frankly, their ignorance is pretty disgusting. Kudos to whoever was able to watch this garbage ('emptyV' total relevance factor of -90) and report on it to remind us that there are those out there that do influence entities nearing voting age. Let's NOT check them out.

Are they talking about immigrants, or illegal immigrants. Reminds me of that line in Bladerunner: “Men? Police...Men?

They are not immigrants. They are invaders.

This isn't a chicken and egg thing, dear.

Without a country in the first place there wouldn't be any f****** immigrants.

Were they passing the pipe when they all said this?? My Wife is an "Immigrant" and has been treated very well and fairly by the USA. But she is also LEGAL with a GREEN CARD.

They could disappear tomorrow and no one would care.

Illegal Invaders.

Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.

Mad was commercialized with advertising and became a dumb anti-Trump pro-ruth ginsberg bit of pinko trash.
Wasn’t funny or artistic anymore. Lost its bite because soy bois aren’t funny cartoonists.
