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
citizenship or apply for a visa to come here. a green card. what am i missing? i think you are missing a key element of why they say they want to do. they want to arrive at the border and claim asylum legally. they respect our legal process and honoring that process by stating they want to come to the border port of entry and then apply for asylum legally. that s what they are trying to do. tucker: but i m confused. want to come in legally. it wouldn t make any sense to be on a caravan with thousands of people to try to sneak in anywhere. tucker: they are passing u.s. consulates along the way. they have already been offered asylum by the country of mexico and they said no. many of them are taking it and staying in mexico. tucker: nice of what? there is no war in honduras going on. it s a poor country. it s always been a poor country. it s not america s fault and not donald trump s fault. true. tucker: why does it make me obligated to pay for this
security threat, you are going to find an argument to call that a lie so why don t we find out? why don t we with your show and my show on univision travel to mexico, spend some time reporting, trying to figure out who is part of this caravan, thugs, criminals and middle easterners like the president said report that and owe that to our audiences. if they are not a security threat we owe our audience the truth. tucker: both of our companies are doing that. you have reporters down there and fox news does. it s not up to the media who decides who comes to our country. it s up to our voters who elect representatives who made a lot of laws about this which you are now saying we need to ignore. people in charge u.s. citizens, american voters, they are being ignored. they have a system of legal immigration, which this caravan is giving the finger to. so why do i have any responsibility to learn anything about the caravan. if they want to come here they can go apply for
all about this caravan, you are a bad person. in fact, you, sir, are a racist. all of this for a group of people, a lot of whom are mothers and children who pose no imminent threat to the united states. call this invasion. it might be the most pathetic invasion of a country in world history if this were actually an invasion. of course, it s not. president sending troops to the border to deal with the caravan that hasn t proven to be violent. stop saying they are monsters there are more mothers than monsters. don t say it. why don t any of you say that? tucker: there is the line of the day. more mothers than monsters. turns out that s not quite right. more brothers than mothers, actually. according to the border patrol, the caravan is in fact about 70% single men. not families, women, and children. but overwhelmingly single men. according to mexico s own ambassador, many in the group are, quote. very violent. that s whaviolent.state npr.
