Bill O’Reilly: “There Is An Invasion From Mexico Into The United States”

video
» 34 comments

Bill O’Reilly has never exactly been the #1 cheerleader of undocumented workers, but tonight, he declared war. Talking to guest Charles Krauthammer about their differing views on using the military to prevent illegal immigration, he suggested that discussing the matter as a social problem is futile when “there is an invasion from a foreign country, Mexico, into the United States.” And just in case you didn’t hear him, he repeated himself. Twice.

Krauthammer argues that the military cannot be used for “internal policing.” His solution is simple: build a formidable fence to keep them out. If they can’t physically enter the country, there is no need to discuss or negotiate the problem with anyone. But Krauthammer’s point of view is missing something O’Reilly claims is abundantly clear: Mexico is “invading” the United States. His evidence? “We wouldn’t have 12 million illegal aliens if there weren’t an invasion.” And even if they weren’t invading– which they obviously are– there is precedent for using the military to secure the border: in South Korea. And if it’s good enough for the Koreas given their history, why wouldn’t it be good enough for America and Mexico?

    I like that fence idea. Throughout history, it has worked very well. Maybe we can sprinkle bits of broken glass around the fence. Better still, come Memorial Day, most Texans will have turned their annual golden brown. Maybe we could hire some of the unemployed Texans, get them even more tanned and ready for a couple of weeks, make a run for the border and buy some really big sombreros with fringe and employ them in a Campaign of Disinformation. As the would be Norte Americanos near the border, and ask “¿Dónde está San Antonio?” our disinformers could point in the direction of Monterrey and say “Allí, allí es San Antonio.”. That ought to work.

    We get it, O’Reilly. Your world views are old. You political opinions are old. You’re just an old human being. Keep rocking that chair of yours. Welcome to reality: things change. Societies change. I know you’re afraid of the “browning” of America – but get a grip with it.

  • The Real Royal King

    I have to say, as a Texan, I find this fear of Hispanics strange. Our borders have always been amorphous, half of my friends and neighbors have always been Hispanic, and I speak Spanish, Spanglish or Tex-Mex almost as often as I do English. I even have an Hispanic son-in-law. I fail to see any change, and I certainly have seen no deterioration in my life-style.

  • ImNotBlue

    With expanding violence in Mexico, and on the Mexico/American border… of course there’s an undeniable problem.

    That is, unless you have a predisposition to disagree and hate anything Bill O’Reilly says. In that case, HE’S the problem… and mix in a little “race carding,” and you’ve got a “response.” It doesn’t really address the issues… but it makes the left feel better to insult people they disagree with. Besides, the issues are just too hard to talk about.

    I don’t know why Frances Martel thinks anyone should be a “cheerleader” for illegal aliens, unless of course that person is profiting from illegal activity in some way. Gosh knows, plenty of people are: crooked businesses, crooked banks, racial power groups, the list goes on and on. But, since BOR doesn’t own a chicken processing plant (AFAIK), maybe it’s to be expected that he wouldn’t cheer on massive illegal activity.

    And, of course, they aren’t “undocumented workers”; that’s a euphemism that’s not the correct legal term and also not factually correct: not every illegal alien is working.

    But, millions of illegal aliens are indeed working, and doing jobs that unemployed Americans could be doing. We know who’s side Frances Martel is on.

  • AmericanCowboy

    I love the Mexican people. Most of my friends are Hispanic. Most of them agree with me when I say enter the USA through the proper channels or get the hell out.

    If it was up to me, I would use the “Shoot First and Ask Question Later” approach. I would fire on any one who was sneaking across the border regardless of race. It is not a race issue. Illegal immigration is perpetrated by folks of all nationalities.

    Bill is correct – we are being invaded. You cannot sneak into another country. I would never consider doing something so foolish and not expect to be prosecuted. Who knows the intent of these law breakers; drugs, crime, sex trafficking, terrorism. Why don’t they apply for legal entry?

    As for those already here illiegally. Go home and get in the back of the line. For those who came here legally, I welcome you with open arms. I dont blame you for wanting a better life and you diserve one.

  • The Real Royal King

    So, American Cowboy, do you think it is possible to fight in the War Against Christmas, the War Against Hispanics, the War in Afghan and still maintain our Occupation of Iraq, simultaneously? Seems to be we’re asking for trouble.

    I hope Lou Dobbs is collecting royalties for this somewhere.

  • AmericanCowboy

    The Real Royal King says: “the War against Hispanics”? No one declared War on Hispanics. It is called defending the border against all foreign invaders no matter race. That job falls on the shoulders of the Federal Government. Isn’t it about time Obama started focusing on doing his job end give up on fulfilling his dream of a Communist America?

  • writer

    Since so many on the left seem to feel that we should have open borders and have no immigration restrictions whatsoever, I wonder if they could list which other countries follow that practice.

  • Olby Sucks

    I wonder when the faux queen ventured to nuevo laredo last…

  • writer

    O.S., that’s an idea. The King isn’t that fond of America anyway, (Amerika, as he spells it) and says he knows Spanish. He should move there.

  • The Real Royal King

    Nuevo Laredo would have been last August. I did, however, go to Reynosa Palm Sunday.

  • The Real Royal King

    I have to say, Jeff, you and American Cowboy ought to leave the horsies alone for a bit and mosey on up to the bunkhouse. You’ve found your soulmate, or, perhaps, mate. Sledom have two such minds gotten together in the same room without disastrous consequences.

  • same2u

    The blame does not fall on the illegals but on policies of the U.S. that didn’t discourage employers from hiring illegals.

    In any case, Without comprehensive immigration reform, I hope illegals continue to enter the country if for no reason other than their children will become voters in this country, diluting the votes of people whose values disgust me (i.e. Olby Sucks and AmericanCowboy).

    You really have no standards, do you? Anything goes, as long as you get your way, huh? Wow.

    I’m not surprised you feel that way. I’m more surprised that you admit it.

  • Nachi

    Ah, brilliant words from 2 intellectual/physical – beauties.

    And even Little “Blue” here speaks from his little winged vomitorium. Ever angry, ever incensed. Any day filled with hatred and bitterness is a “good” day for such lifeforms. And so it is! Yup.

    “values”…lol…encouraging criminal activity…you got some values there. LMAO

    BTW – I am all for immigration reform as long as it makes it difficult on terrorists to get across our borders, deports illegal aliens, makes English the 1st language, verifies the immigrant can support his family (not on welfare) and includes a provision to deport “same2u”. Canada makes sure you got $50K in the bank. That is a pretty good immigration policy.

  • same2u

    Cob,

    I don’t view crossing the border to take unfilled low-level jobs a criminal act, especially when the government has essentially turned a blind eye to the hiring practices of businesses that knowingly employed them.

    Jeessus fucking keerist!! Lou Dobbs has ridden into the sunset and it’s left all to O’Lielly to point out and hype the dangers of the leetle brown men from Mehico.

    So now you deicde which laws to obey and which laws are OK to break? Man I have really wanted to meet you. Is bank robbery OK? Can we sell drugs to children? Maybe breaking into a house is OK? How about graffitti? Maybe gay bashing is alright? Maybe we can beat up politians we disagree with? Please wise one, tell us which laws to obey and which laws to break. If I do break any laws I will just tell the judge you said it was OK.

    Typical Libtard

  • MrGlennBovineKoldys

    The appalling ignorance of Billdo on this one can only be surpassed by the likes of Jeffy Bovine, Tancredo, the sht flinging Baboon and other assorted racists.

    “We wouldn’t have 12 million illegal aliens if there weren’t an invasion.”

    So, Billdo and racists, you are saying all undocumented immigrants are MEXICANS?

    Facts are obviously absent in such narrow minded and incendiary comment. A detailed argument would be a waste of time, so the answer is short and simple.

    Billdo, vos sos un completo pendejo

  • writer

    Mr. Glenn, if the majority of our illegal aliens aren’t Mexican, please enlighten us which country they’re coming from.

    I smell another race baitor. Man do they smell like chit.

    How does race factor into illegal invaders? Keep race out of it. Enter the country legally and we will open the door for you. Sneak across any of our borders and I wish we coukld open fire on the criminals. That goes for all illegal invadors on any of our borders; Mexico, Canada, the Pacific and the Atlantic.

    What part of illegal do the idiots on the left not understand? We are no longer Pre 9/11. Security is critical.

    I’ll bite.

    The problem is with Billdo’s characterization implying that ALL undocumented immigrants are MEXICANS and have or follow a determined purpose of INVASION.

    If you “writer,” indeed have any idea of how important proper language is, you would know the connotation of “INVASION”

    At least you have used a qualifier in your statement, which makes a great difference from what Billdo is saying.

    Having said that, let’s try to look at the figures floated around and their disparities.

    First, there are no “official figures” Estimates of between 12 to 40 million undocumented immigrants residing in the USA vary according to different sources. Oh, the 40 million figures are cited by those in the extreme wingnut camp.

    Take your pick and then argue Billdo’s inane and ignorant point of sending the military to the border to stop “the invasion”

    You don’t even know WTF you are talking about.

    Undocumented stay in the USA is not a crime, you moron.

    Even the sht flinging Baboon knows that.

    So take your wingnut little penis and slam it with the law, then ask questions.

  • AmericanCowboy

    MrGlennsBallSucker – Your an idiot!!! Why do you think they call sneaking across the border entering the country illegally? Maybe you did not read the sign when you smuggling your drugs and asian sex slaves across the border?

    Stop The Invasion!!!! Sending the military is an excellent way to prevent the criminal border crossings. Build the fence, hire more border patrol and arm the minute men.

    Illegal entry must be taken more seriously.

    BTW MrGlennsBallSucker Did I mention you are an idiot?

    He is all yours. Ignorant, bigoted, racist, gun-totting, wrapped in the flag moron.

    Did I mention he watches the Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network?

  • AmericanCowboy

    More race baiting. At no time did I pick on a race. Who is the Propaganda spewer? You soil your own pants with the propaganda you crap out.

    You are a foolish commie race baitor. A typical left wing loon. Lay off the Obama kool aid.

  • writer

    Yeah, Mr. Glenn. And when the Beatles came over, people called it the British invasion. You’re too hung up on terminology. The fact is that millions of Mexicans have entered this country illegally. But because they’re ‘brown’, you think trying to stop their illegal entry is racist. We’re in a unique position because we’re a wealthy superpower located next to a third world country. But no other country on earth simply opens up its borders and says ‘come on in’. Expecting us to do so shows how you view everything through a racial prism, instead of rationally.

  • AmericanCowboy

    The race baiting currently being perpetrated by the left is designed to stifle intelligent debate. When the left is forced to address logical thought and facts, they NEVER NEVER NEVER have a leg to stand. They attempt to change the subject or randomly claim racism for no apparent reason. It is a little like turrets syndrome, racism just pops out of their mouth randomly. America is wise to this. Racism does not carry the meaning it had a year ago.

    Racism is now defined as the following

    rac•ism [rey-siz-uh m]
    -adj
    1. any American whose beliefs differ from that of the current Communist President’s administration or has lunatic liberals followers
