Fox News Host Argues Trump ‘Has To Do a Better Job’ Explaining Dangers of Illegal Immigration: ‘Democrats Have Gained Some Ground’

Fox News anchor Joey Jones argued President Donald Trump’s administration “has to do a better job” explaining to the American public why illegal immigrants are a danger to citizens nationwide, with Jones saying “Democrats have gained some ground” on this issue in recent months.

Jones shared his thoughts while co-hosting The Big Weekend Show alongside Tomi Lahren on Sunday.

He said the Trump campaign was smart in how it talked about the issue before the 2024 election by pointing out illegal immigrants from Venezuela killed 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. “That was the headline — these were the victims of illegal immigration,” Jones said.

But the headlines have since shifted to protestors at ICE facilities, which Jones said is a better look and argument for Dems.

“They’ve changed the headlines from the victims of illegal immigration to, in their minds, the victims of enforcing immigration law,” Jones said.

He continued: “The Trump Administration has to do a better job messaging — not taking advantage of, not lying about, and not exaggerating — simply sitting there and telling that story, and telling it loud and proud and getting the victims of illegal immigration… to get those people’s stories told.”

A wise move, Jones added, would be for the Trump Administration to “harp” on states like California issuing commercial driver licenses to people who are not citizens. That has been a real issue, Jones said, when you consider recent stories about Indian nationals getting licenses in California and then killing several people in accidents.

“We know the ‘worst of the worst,’ people who commit horrible, egregious crimes, they need to go,” Lahren added. “But I think the mandate from the American people was pretty clear last November — it wasn’t just the ‘worst of the worst.’ It’s ‘If you came into the country illegally, you are on the table [for deportation].'”

The Sunday segment comes as the Trump Administration has sent ICE and Border Patrol agents to major cities like Chicago. That push has been met with pushback from Democratic politicians like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, with Pritzker comparing Trump using ICE to Adolf Hitler using stormtroopers to expel Jews from Nazi Germany.
