QOTD: two lunatics on Fox
by digby
Coulter and Hannity:
Coulter: My point is: zero immigrants should be collecting government assistance. If you are collecting government assistance, it seems to me, can’t we all agree that you are not the kind of immigrant we need in America here? We know we have our own native-born losers, murderers, welfare recipients — fine we’ll deal with them,” she said.
Hannity: But we’re importing more…
I know that everyone wants to believe that the only people who agree with these two are a couple of 72 year olds somewhere in Kansas, but I’m afraid that’s way too optimistic.
Immigration reform may very well happen this year or next simply because there is a political incentive among Republicans to do it. (The business community has always wanted it, and they do tend to get their way eventually.) But I hope nobody believes that xenophobia of the type Coulter and Hannity exude there has been extinguished.
