“Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday said many immigrant children who come to America “turn into” members of the MS-13 gang.
Kilmeade discussed the ongoing controversy facing the Trump administration over its “zero tolerance” policy at the southwest border.
“We are $20 trillion in debt. We have classrooms that are overrun. We have teachers buying their own supplies. These kids come in, fantastic, Oprah Winfrey. I’m glad you’re upset about this,” Kilmeade said.
“But these kids get fanned out to working-class neighborhoods into our society. And then they have to be paid for by English is a second language. And then they got to be schooled and a lot of them, sadly, in my neighborhood, turn into MS-13,” he added.
The backlash against the administration has boiled over since Attorney General Jeff Sessions ’s order in April to prioritize the criminal prosecution of individuals trying to unlawfully cross the U. S.-Mexico border.
The Associated Press reported earlier this month that approximately 2,000 children were removed from their families in recent weeks.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed outrage over the separations, which come as the House continues its debate over immigration legislation.
President Trump on Tuesday blamed Democrats, saying they want undocumented immigrants in the United States.
„Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13,“ the president wrote on Twitter.
„They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!“
