Fox News host Laura Ingraham delivered a monologue Wednesday night attacking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the presumed next representative for the 14th District of New York.
Though her choice of target is nothing new—Ocasio-Cortez is a favorite Fox News boogyman—the end of her speech digressed into a racist and xenophobic screed about how the current state of America has been brought about by “demographic changes” “none of us ever voted for and most of us don’t like.”
“In some parts of the country it does seem like the America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people and they are changes that none of us ever voted for and most of us don’t like,” she said. “From Virginia to California we see stark examples of how radically in some ways the country has changed. Much of this is related to both illegal and, in some cases, legal immigration that, of course, progressives love.”
“Remember the old Democrats…They used to think that borders mattered. But the new activists believe enforcing immigration laws is essentially an ongoing human rights violation. Of course they want to abolish I.C.E. and so forth,” she continued. “Today we were reminded again of why our law has to be enforced, borders strengthened and the wall built, loopholes closed and sanctuary city policies ended once and for all.”
She tried to soften her message at the end of the show.
“There is something slipping away in this country and it’s not about race or ethnicity,” she said. “It’s what was once a common understanding by both parties that American citizenship is a privilege, and one that at a minimum requires respect for the rule of law and loyalty to our constitution.”

Waiting for her to recite the 14 Words when she stars her Axis Sally shift tonight!
Laura Ingraham proves that the term “dickhead” is not gender-specific.
(FFS, the “America we know and love” is a patchwork quilt of immigrants. Few of us would be here if someone hadn’t left somewhere else to come here. How stupid can you be???)
But in Laura’s house, immigration is perfectly OK because…why?
Ingraham, who has never married, is a single parent of three children: a girl from Guatemala whom she adopted in 2008; a boy she adopted at 13 months in 2009; and another boy she adopted in 2011. Both of the boys are from Russia. —Wikipedia
WTF are you talking about you dumb bunny? The America we know and love is BECAUSE of immigration.
If the America that Ms. Ingraham knew and loved is gone due to immigration, then I say good fucking riddance to her trashy, insular America.
The America I know and love is stronger for, indeed made possible by, a diverse population.
