Eric Bolling, a co-host on Fox News’ The Five, has hit it out of the park with his latest plan for illegal Mexican immigrants. Speaking on the September 1 episode, Bolling put forth this plan to his fellow hosts:
“When you’re in a foreign country and you go to the U.S. Embassy in a foreign country, you’re on U.S. land. You’re not on foreign country land anymore. You’re in U.S. territory, right? So, if you set up — let’s call them Mexican deportation stations within the United States, and an illegal who’s here with a family says, you know what, I’ve been here for five years, I’m paying my taxes, I just want to be a United States citizen, they go to this island within the United States. You’re technically on Mexican land again, right? You’ve been deported, and you go back into society. I mean, that’s a way, and why is that so bad? That’s a very friendly way and nice way to do it, isn’t it, no?”
So, let’s break down Bolling’s plan. It involves the United States giving up chunks of land to Mexico. It involves forced relocation of immigrants to those chunks of land. Finally, it involves the United States ignoring the mistakes of its past.
Those of us who paid attention in history class are probably aware that forcing a specific ethnicity into a designated section of land typically turns out poorly. There are a few good examples to draw from:
- The treatment of Native Americans at the hand of the United States government, and
- The Japanese internment camps during World War II are the two that most instantly spring to mind.
- Still, others have drawn comparisons between Bolling’s hypothetical scenario and the concentration camps of Nazi Germany.
Not even close to the first time Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters have been compared to the Third Reich.
You can watch the exchange below. Another co-host, Greg Gutfeld, presents some information that should give pause to any presidential candidate that favors mass deportation of illegal immigrants (but obviously has not fazed Trump):
“When voters are presented with a choice, a system that allows illegals a path, they’re overwhelming for that and they’re against deportation. So, how do you deal with that?”
Good question, Mr. Gutfeld.
