During Thursday night's edition of The Kelly File on the Fox News Channel soon after the president announced that he was taking executive action regarding illegal immigration, guest Geraldo Rivera praised Barack Obama for “doing finally the right thing” and blamed Republicans as the reason legislation on the issue has failed to pass Congress.
The senior correspondent for the network declared that “I don't know and I don't care” why Obama took the extreme action more than a month before the newly elected Congress will be sworn in and claimed that the GOP “had it coming” because they blame immigrants for everything, including “climate change if they believed in it.”
Kelly began the segment by playing a video clip of Charles Krauthammer -- another analyst for Fox News -- stating that if Obama “feels so strongly about this, and Scripture dictates this ought to be done, why did he do nothing about this in 2009 and 2010, when he had control of the White House, the House and the Senate, and he could actually have done this Constitutionally by passing legislation?”
When the host asked her guest to respond to that statement, he said: “It's not relevant to me. It really made me angry that he chose to go with ObamaCare rather than immigration reform even though he had told the Latino community and the Asian-American community that immigration reform was his priority.”
Rivera dismissed the fact that the president waited six years to address the issue and asserted:
What matters tonight is he's doing finally the right thing. He may be doing it for awful, base reasons, political reasons. I don't know and I don't care.I care that he has finally done the right thing for otherwise law-abiding family immigrants who have been here five years or more who have, in every other way, followed the law.
“These are people that are the seeds of the Earth,” he noted. “These are people who make America strong, and I'm glad he's done it.”
Three Presidents deported millions

What did Presidents Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?
This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn’t know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work. Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for Returning veterans.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!
Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today. If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.
Why, you might ask, can’t they do this today? Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes!
Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes - 12 to 20 million illegal aliens are depending on it.
Geraldo is an angry, hateful racist and former member of the Young Lords who is unfit for a network such as Fox. He’d fit right in at MSNBC or Al Jazeera.
Sorry Whoraldo. I don’t believe in your “global warming” but I do believe in enforcing our laws and our Constitution. Unlike you, you ahole.
What? The left blames everything on climate change.
FU old man.
I hear you were a pretty good boxer in yer day.
Don’t know if it was boxing apples and oranges or pugilism but, I’d take a crack at you.
You self serving jack wagon.
Jerry Rivers admits that he’s a proud La Raza racist republican.
MSNBC could sure use you, Geritoldo.
This “right thing” is going to get his LIEberal ass impeached, convicted and imprisoned!
Thanks for the information.
We could do the same thing today, but it will never happen. No one has the guts for it. It’s better to let the country circle the drain than to be labeled a racist.
I listened to Rush for a bit yesterday. An illegal called him up and tried to make the case why he should be allowed to stay. Rush surprised me...he told the guy, “No one wants to deport you or your family and anyone who tells you that is lying.” WTH?
His nose must be feeling lonely.
Yo Whorealdo, time to take another nude selfie and post it on line again?
