SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly guest Emily Jashinsky said NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo can “screw off” Monday after his “insane” take on the death of Laken Riley and illegal immigration in the U.S.
Despite the majority of Americans supporting the deportation of criminal illegal migrants, Cuomo on Thursday cited the politics around Riley and illegal immigrants as a reason why he refused to modify his views about the two major political parties. While discussing the NewsNation host’s response on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Jashinsky discussed the millions who crossed into the U.S. under the Biden administration with criminal backgrounds.
“He can screw off because it’s absolutely not fake. If you look at the numbers of people who cross into this country with criminal backgrounds that are not just people who have crossed the crime of crossing the country illegally and returning,” Jashinsky said. “If you look at people with histories of violent crime who have gotten into this country, there is plenty to sustain significant concern for that broader narrative that there are significant numbers of criminals who have entered our border.”
“If you talked about the way people who work in law enforcement, it’s sort of obvious that the open borders have been exploited by people who wish to do terror, people who wish to do great harm to the American people,” Jashinsky added. “In this case, to say that these are isolated anecdotes is absolutely insane. It’s where you actually can get that number spiraling out of control because it falsely gives people a sense of security that they should not have.”
Within President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that the agency had arrested 66,463 illegal aliens and removed 65,682 aliens, “including criminals who threaten public safety and national security.” According to ICE’s data, of the arrests already made, three in four illegal migrants arrested were criminal migrants with records ranging from assaults, DWIs or DUIs, to weapon offenses.
According to a March study conducted by the Pew Research Center, 97% of their 5,123 panelists who responded said they agreed with deporting illegal migrants who have committed violent crimes.
