tell our sons what s coming. we contacted cnn today to ask them what they quote plan to start doing to this racially group of racially defective americans, they never applied. maybe lemon will be more specific about his plans on tonight s show. without even hearing the details, it s pretty clear where the people on tv stand. they instinctively side with foreign nationals over american citizens is every time. if you are wondering why they are far more upset about migrant camps in mexico than homeless encampments in orange county. that s why. yesterday in the new york times a columnist told michelle goldberg noted if the elections in georgia if the bad old people don t agree with her agenda are displaced by a large group of new people who do. her piece is titled we can replace them. imagine writing something about that about your fellow americans. imagine running it in your newspaper? they didn t think twice because that s how they really feel. peter is a u.s. cill rights commissioner.
he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. thanks, tucker. tucker: have you noticed the disdisparity and outrage the way our migrants camp aside the road in mexico and fellow americans permanently camped outside. hundreds of thousands of american homeless never mentioned in the media. why is that? i think you have expressed it a few times. we have talked about it. that is the left has an obsession with identity politics for a lot of reasons. one because of moralizing but more importantly for those who have to put where the rubber meet the road is for votes. and for political imperative. the statements that you just ran were, you know, they are incoherent. some of them are just frankly racist and they completely miss apprehend the concern of most normal americans with the caravan. most normal americans are
moralizing chin tuggers say you are a racist for wanting that at least you determined americans have a right to determine what kind of border barrier. every country has that right. tucker: a lot of them work. woe have been doing that for the last half a century. trying to militarize. 700-mile wall. high tech surveillance equipment. all source of things at the border and it s not working, tucker. we should be focusing on the root causes of immigration. tucker: hold on, you are not against illegal immigration. 22 million illegals in our country right now. i think they should all be deported tomorrow and come back if they want to come back because it make a mockery of our laws. you disagree with that. that s okay. i m not mad at you. don t tell me how you support border security because by definition you don t. it s not that i don t support border security. it s that that s not going to solve the issue in its essence. tucker: deporting 22 million people might get close to solv
this isn t about race. it s about economics. i think it s becoming more and more obvious. i know my service on the civil rights commission over a number of years, i can see that there has been a shift in the understanding, low skilled workers get it, the elites very often like to engage in this type of moralized, makes them feel good about themselves. until they are threatened in terms of their job prospects or the quality of life in their neighborhoods, they can continue to engage in this political correctness. we see it as a labor lawyer myself. i see the deleterious effects of this. they are significant. they are often allied by our eleads, political elites, social elites better than the media. it s unfortunate i think a day of reckoning is coming. we are seeing it more and more that ordinary americans are getting it. and some of it actually has to do with the trump effect that trump speaks plainly about these things, sometimes he crosses or touches third rails.
under 12. that s our story on this wednesday night. wish you a safe and happy halloween tonight. be back here tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. until then, you can continue this halloween journey with our good friend tucker carlson coming up next in d.c. good night, everybody. tucker: good evening, and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. if you have been watching the other channels lately there is one thing you learned about the caravan of central american migrants marching toward our southern border the whole thing is no big deal. these are nice people, every single one of them. much better people than you are. they have the deep moral authority that comes from living in a third world country unlike you, mr. pampered suburbanite. they are not invaders, future super americans. not nothing to worry about. that s been the chorus from politicians and news anchors who think they are politicians for weeks and weeks now. if you have any concern at
