--- Quote from: SirLinksALot on January 09, 2019, 03:12:06 am ---I tuned in to Fox TV to watch Trump's Speech on Border Security anchored by none other than Shepard Smith ( and supported by Chris Wallace ).
I was hoping that Fox would at least give some balanced report on Donald Trump's speech unlike the other alphabet channel's pundits.
But just like that Shep Smith, just a few seconds after Trump finished his speech gave the following "refutation" (Note the quotes) of Trump's points ( I think Smith had already prepared his talking points having seen the contents of Trump's speech before hand ):
1) On average, the crime rate of illegals is LOWER than the crime rate of Americans and legal immigrants. It is unfortunate that
NO CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
2) For the past several years, the number of Mexicans moving back to Mexico EXCEEDS the number of Mexican illegals coming to the USA. In other words, illegal crossings are actually DOWN, not UP.
NO CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
3) Drugs like heroin or opioids do not mostly come in from our borders with Mexico but from other ports of entries. We should focus on those other port of entries, not waste billions of dollars building the wall.
NO CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
4) The number of illegal overstays in the USA far exceeds the number of illegal crossings at our borders. Trump is overemphasizing the border when he should be focusing on those illegal overstayers.
NO CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
5) Trump owns the shutdown because he himself said that he would be proud to own the shutdown. As this drags on for months, millions of people will be without their paychecks to pay for their day to day living.
OK, one thing I would like to request -- please refrain from remarks that say -- Shep Smith is a gay, liberal jerk. I already know how you feel about him.
I want to read your calm, rational, refutations of Shep Smith's arguments. Let's focus on his arguments and refute them.

Yes he is, but that's irrelevant to the discussion here. I'd like people to address his arguments.

Sorry. I can't help it. I feel giddy, for some reason....lololol.
People need to lighten up. Seriously (pardon pun).
Restored:
And Trump did not shut down the government. The Democrats would not allow the Continuing Resolution to come to the Senate floor because it contained the money for the Wall. The Democrats shut down the government to keep Trump from getting the wall.
