Illegal Immigration Isn’t Funny. Neither is MSNBC.

“Hilarity” ensued during MSNBC’s recent election primary coverage.
Co-Host, Jen Psaki: “And if you look at some of these exit polls, I mean I live in Virginia, immigration was the number one issue.” (Followed by hearty laughter from Co-Host, Joy Reid.)
Anchor, Rachel Maddow: “Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia.” (Full panel laughs)
…Hilarity of course only for the haughty network anchors. Viewers were not amused, particularly Virginians who don’t like seeing their problems diminished to ridiculing jokes.
Despite the sarcastic suggestion that voters in Virginia are simply imagining an immigration problem that doesn’t exist, facts suggest otherwise.
