With President Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico, some economists and business owners are concerned of the negative effect these extra costs could have on everything from retail costs to jobs to economic growth. However, Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that while these tariffs might indeed hurt Americans, they are nonetheless necessary.
Carlson then went on to blame what he described as a"flood of illegal workers" for having"damaged our communities, ruined our schools, burdened our healthcare system and fractured our national unity" in what he dubbed a"slow-motion attack on this country." According to the Migration Policy Institute, Mexican migrants make up about 53 percent of unauthorized migrants who are already in the United States, but that ratio has been declining as migration from Mexico has decreased and migration from other nations has increased.
The Fox News host was heavily criticized on social media for his comments, with many Twitter users suggesting that Carlson was more willing to call Mexico and enemy of the U.S. than Russia, which was proven to have actively attempted to meddle with America's elections.
Tucker Carlson is HOSTILE TOWARDS DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM IN AMERICA, he seems to love Corrupt Trumps authoritarian communistic type of rule and behavior, maybe you, most of the Fox newscasters, and your communist sympathizing Trump group and move to Russia, Saudi Arabia
What does this boy know? Another Richard Spencer of media—He is just another provocateur, propagandist and racist. I’d love to see a viral video of Tucker and/or Sean Hannity to get milkshaked or punched in the face on the sidewalk. Fox 🦊 ain’t foxy! ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
If he believes they are hostile he should just close the border until the threat has subsided.
Hostile foreign power. What would that make Canada
