Fox News host Laura Ingraham is taking heat after lamented demographic changes in the U.S. due to immigration Wednesday night, which were later endorsed by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

Ingraham said, “The America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore” because of demographic changes brought about by immigration.

“Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don't like,” she claimed as footage of agricultural work and the border played over her shoulder.

“Much of this is related to both illegal and, in some cases, legal immigration that, of course, progressives love," she added.

Ingraham is right and there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging it.

David Duke is so 80s.

[Wingnut]

Don't back down.  Double down Laura

Exactly. But you can count on plenty of "Republicans," eve some conservatives, reacting like democrats to Truth about America as it really is.


They have mindlessly swallowed the "White Guilt" punch served by the Education-Indoctrination, Media - government complex.

She get no backlash from me. (Illegal) Immigration is issue 1 in my book.

Sounds about right to me.
Well, actually, I'd go further, but...
Don't back down, Laura !!

because when you boil the frog one degree at a time over three years, beginning at “build the wall” and ending at “recite the 14 words with me”, no one notices any one particular temperature in between

Duke spoke up for that Labour politician in the UK too. Duke needs to shut up and he's irrelevant, practically. Ding-dong.

Any group of people who are afraid to stand up for their rights doesn't deserve to have rights.

David Duke is so 80s.

Attention whore trying desperately to remain relevant.

Not only that,but he is wrong to demonize ALL non-whites based purely on nothing but their skin color. There is no shortage of white parasites,thugs,crooks,and murderers,traitors,etc,etc,etc.

It has nothing to do with ethnicity and everything to do with attitude.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Don't back down.  Double down Laura

Double Down? Trump hasn't got any respect from his critics for doubling down.

What he's getting is things done.

Take heed Laura.

You are going to take heavy flak, but you already knew that.

Just means you're right over the target.

No.
It has as much -- or more -- to do with "ethnicity" than it does with attitude.

Stop being naive.
I suggest you read about the red squirrels and the grey squirrels.

America is a unique and exceptional nation.
But even here, human nature remains...    human nature.

However true that is it won't stop some moron from piping in with a hoary cliche about nazis in response.

I thought what @sneakypete wrote was magnificent.

[TomSea]

Laura really stated from what I read what is largely just fact.

Even the US Catholic Bishops spoke about, if people come here, our traditions etc. need to be respected. If you bring in big shifts in the demographics over a short time span, you really do mess with that balance.

Indeed. But I can understand why those who live in areas of the country far less effected (for the time being) by the effects of massive and sudden immigration do not seem to grasp the attitudes of those of us who currently are.

Who is Kilgore Trout other than a Kurt Vonnegut character?

Only squirrels look to squirrels for role models. I have known and been friends with MANY very competent and  honorable black men when I was in the army.

@sneakypete

We may all be on the same wavelength actually. I think what has been discussed is more about, say, if a bunch of Mideasterners, Somalis, Mexican Nationals, become American citizens over a short time.  Of course, Americans who have been here, hopefully, carry American values.

@TomSea

I agree,but this distinction MUST be pointed out occasionally because otherwise we lose because we sound like a bunch of racists and end up alienating people who should be our natural allies.

[Emjay]

Don't back down.  Double down Laura

Not a huge fan of Laura but she is right on this and should be able to express her opinion.  She said nothing wrong.  Hope she doubles down and doesn't back down.

[cato potatoe]

I did not hear any fringe rhetoric in that segment.  But she'll probably retract her claims, to keep every last cent flowing into her money bin.

[Absalom]

Some 20 posts and not a solitary mention of the Principle of Sovereign Right,
promoted by the Vatican centuries ago and remains the foundation to resolve
the immigration issue. So the solution is more yip-yap??? Hmm..........

[Right_in_Virginia]

Ingraham is right and there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging it.

David Duke is so 80s.

Depends on whether she learned her lesson from that little kid with the face shaped like a triangle.

[Night Hides Not]

I've noticed that Laura will say something controversial like this from time to time. It's a way for her to keep her advertising costs down, i.e. taking advantage of free publicity, good or bad.
