    This kind of rhetoric was uncalled for. The Left's reaction was completely predictable. Inevitably, one of the twitter comments brought up European diseases and their effect on Native Americans:

    It is just word thrown in to make you think the title of the thread is more important than it is. Every time the judge opens her mouth it is a rant. It is what makes her entertaining. The title was enough for me. I didn't even read the post. Let me know if I got it wrong.

    The US is the world's covid super spreader. I guess other countries should keep Americans out, so they don't bring their disease there. I wonder what the Trumper reaction would be, if other countries actually did that.

    I'm guessing nothing. It looks to me like most people have accepted the authoritarianism involved in the virus fight.

    Here:
    "Fox News host Jeanine Pirro is being called out on social media for a racist rant in which she accused immigrants and asylum-seekers of “bringing all kinds of diseases” into the country."

    You're welcome.

    Hasn't the coronavirus virus demonstrated to us, if any proof was needed, that not all of these diseases are completely benign and nothing to worry about?

    In a world without borders, there are all sorts of things lurking in other less developed parts of the world.

    There's been past threads in here about eyeball worms, intestinal parasites, and "kissing bug" disease, all brought in from mass scale immigration from Latin America countries.

    I remember watching one documentary about a woman, now happened to be a US federal judge, who had grown up poor in a little village in Peru, and she had a mystery illness that no doctor could figure out, until eventually they figured out there was a big fat parasitic slug creature lodged in at the base of her brain in her spinal fluid. They then were able to treat it with medication to manage it, but it was not safely possible to actually remove the creature, and this woman had to go on living with it still alive inside her, although the medication did prevent the creature from growing. (Everytime they tried to give anti-parasitics to kill the creature and the parasite started dying it started releasing things into the spinal fluid that caused her to go into shock and caused her seizures, coming close to killing her)

    What race are the illegals with the diseases?

    And she's making a correct statement. Biden is already releasing into the country illegals who tested positive for the china virus. In the past the illegals brought whooping cough and TB into the country. Facts cant' be racist, but the assumption of all illegals being anything other than white is, especially when one of the left's arguments about illegals is that lily white Europeans also participate in the illegal extravaganza.

    Well the facts are illegal white European immigrants make up a very tiny percentage, while Mexicans alone account for over 65% and Latin Americans another 25% + and Asians of one flavor or another most of the remaining. The left wingers all think they're going to be Big Daddy patrons n stuff to the poor illegals and get themselves big govt. jobs doing nothing from their votes.They want to be Boss Hogg, really.

    And, they bring in a lot more than the Chinese virus.

    Where is the mostly successful moratorium on all immigration enacted in the 1920's when we really really need that?

    bigotry is defined as having no tolerance for the customs or beliefs of others so try that again

    However you choose to define what it is you people do, it was rejected by a large majority of voters, Doubling down on the same failed bullshit is not a smart tactic.

    Here's a little thought for those who think letting one and all waltz across the Southern border is so "humanitarian"...if you've got a spare room TAKE SOME IN to live with you and your family, or let 'em camp out on YOUR PROPERTY! You all talk a big fine line of PC BS, but when it comes a knockin' in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.....:no:

    I love the"you people" brush you paint with. Generalizations and stereotypes are first cousins of bigotry.

    On Ellis island they examined and quarantine people to prevent the spread of diseases into the country. I disagree with Jeanine that it is a major problem here but stop acting like it is a non issue and automatically racist.

    Geraldo applies the typical they are better than us line of bullcrap actually saying that people who pick vegetables were "risking their lives". "They were feeding us" like we are some lazy pos country that cannot eat without these people.

    There are legal ways to bring in guest workers. The democrats do not want that they want foreigners to come in and vote in our elections.

    The judge is not a racist, she is speaking common sense. But because some people can't debate her on the issues they just call her a racist. Shallow minds. Anyone sneaking across our border, without being checked by a medical person, could very well be bringing diseases into our country. And if I was living in Mexico or Central America and had a disease I would head to the USA and check into a hospital to obtain free treatment. Stop attacking the judge because she is looking out for you. We have legal immigration and accept thousands of foreigners every year. We are a country with laws or we are not a country. It's good to hear the judge speak up -- something far too many of the republicans and the media won't do.

    It wouldn't be racists if those were, actually, facts. However, they are not, her rant is rather a dog whistle to the Trump fans, who "feel" that immigrants are less healthy that Americans, in essence because they "feel" that immigrants are less worthy humans than Americans.

    In reality, Hispanic immigrants actually have a longer life expectancy than white Americans:

    https://www.prb.org/hispanics-life-expectancy-migration-patterns/

    In addition, covid prevalence is 4-time less in Mexico than in the US. Therefore, for health reasons, it is not the Americans that should be afraid of the Mexicans, it should be the other way around.

    No racist part, except for those labeling something they don't like racist, but that's become SOP.
    What's more- she's right. Not just diseases of the body..... but diseases of the mind.
    It's not anti-immigration to say those we grant entrance must be vetted, it's wisdom and protection of our own people.
    Americans own America. Allowed immigration is a qualified gift of generosity- not a right of anyone.
    The democrats have botched most everything they attempt to regulate, why should be not expect that to continue?

    There is no such thing as "races". But there are racists. They're the ones who are trying to push a narrative by which only non-whites actually get coronavirus, except when a white person is infected by a non-white. Pirro is just following that narrative like the good white supremacist that she is.

    Already asked QAnon followers, which is the group that made up that story, to show a reference. And they were unable. Exactly like their narrative of a cabal of pedophile cannibalistic democrats. So I'm not expecting you to do much better. When will you guys learn that repeating QAnon nonsense only makes you look foolish?
