A lame stunt from an activist posing as a questioner, in keeping with the ethos of a network whose star anchor encourages journalists to eschew neutrality and shill hard for the issues that matter to them, like effectively erasing America’s borders. Coulter is unflappable, though, to her credit. By all accounts she did a nifty job keeping Jorge Ramos on the defensive during their interview yesterday despite knowing that Fusion is one of the least hospitable places in American media for a new book about the country’s immigration crisis. How nifty? Well, unless I’ve missed it somewhere, there’s no clip of the entire segment posted at Fusion’s website. The only clips available are short “boo! hiss!” moments for the enjoyment of amnesty fans, like this one and Coulter provocatively arguing that Americans have more to fear from illegals than they do from ISIS. It fell to Breitbart to record the following exchange for posterity, in which Coulter politely wonders what percentage of Mexico’s population the United States is morally obliged to absorb.
“We have taken in one quarter of the entire Mexican population,” Coulter asked him. “At what point will we have taken in enough, in your view?”
That’s where Ramos made his stunning admission.
“I think that with the legal system—“ he started to answer.
“Half the Mexican population? The entire Mexican population?” Coulter kept pressing.
“No, I think with the legal system we wouldn’t need and we wouldn’t be having hundreds of people dying crossing the border,” Ramos replied.
“That isn’t an answer to the question,” Coulter corrected him. “One quarter of the Mexican population. How much more do we have to take?”
Ramos dodged again, essentially admitting he supports no limit whatsoever.
“It’s an economic situation,” he said. “As long as you have people here who need immigrants and workers and as long as you have workers needing a job, they’re going to be coming here. It’s an economic situation.”
“It’s an economic situation” is the open-borders response: Eliminate restrictions on immigration, at least for illegals who seem to pose no criminal threat, and the labor market will sort out the rest. That’s a high-minded libertarian-ish reply but it doesn’t explain why Ramos also opposes deporting illegal immigrant children despite the fact that they’re not old enough to work. What he’s really about is ethnic solidarity — another point Coulter had the nerve to call him on — but he can’t admit that (or the fact that he supports allowing residency for anyone who makes it across) or else — gasp — the person onstage who seems the most radical on this issue might not be Ann Coulter.
Two clips here, one via Fusion and the other via Breitbart.
According to their government’s figures I suppose LOL
How much trust do you have in our government’s unemployment numbers?
"Since the beginning of the program in 1936 and through Tax Year (TY) 2003, the most recent year for which data is available, the suspense file contained about 255 million W-2s."
Nothing is removed from that file unless it can be transferred to a valid SS account. And once there's "immigration reform" the illegal workers can have their data move to the shiny new SS accounts.
ILLEGAL immigration exploded under the Clintons
This shows the accumulation of some 255 million no-matches in the Social Security Earnings Suspense File (ESF). These are the no-matched W-2, suspended wage data in the Earnings Suspense File (ESF); it exploded under Clinton. Employers submitted annual wage data to SS and this shows invalid SSN's in those W-2 forms.
It's from a report to Congress (as of 2003, Here).
I tested the link it no longer links to a pdf file with the graphic but the wording seems to be unaffected.
I watched the entire piece on Megan Kelly. The ‘lady in the audience’ was an obvious set up, either by Ramos, or herself wanting to make a scene. Ann deflected with honestly saying that she is getting over the flu and did not want to ‘share her germs.’
None.
Really what I was trying to say is perhaps Mexico could work to reform their corrupt systems and a large group of Mexican males without the ability to head over the border might speed the reforms up a bit.
I wish that she had said that the percentage of immigrants was higher in 1914. It was lower in 1920 thanks to WWI and much lower thereafter, because we reduced immigration in 1923.
I wish Ann would have said, “Forget the hug, how about a paid ticket home to where you came from?”
How long before the hugger gets the USA to flip for her stomach stapling surgery?
Those in Hades want ICE WTER too, but they can’t have that either!
