Former liberal Fox News bombshell Geraldo Rivera has jumped on his
In a Tuesday X-Post, Rivera, who was fired from Fox News' “The Five” last year, scoffed, “Many of the people most concerned about illegal immigrant aliens have never actually seen them. Is.”

This idea is absurd at first sight.
Joe Biden's illegal alien crisis has brought more illegal aliens into the country than the entire legal population of Arizona (and 36 other states).
Even in 2021, during Biden's first year in office, his open-door policies brought in more illegal people than the populations of 11 states combined.
And according to the Daily Signal, the number of states grew to a staggering 22 states by last year.
For Rivera, it is the height of madness to imagine that many illegals could flood into the country and live among us undetected and to such an extent that “many people” in the US would never have encountered an illegal alien.
In fact, no matter where you live in this vast country, you will meet them. In stores, on street corners, in our airports, in our schools, in our big cities where leftist mayors are giving them free housing, in every corner of the country wherever you go, anyone who is here There is ample opportunity to meet. Illegally. And if you live in a border state or in a big city, you can't avoid meeting illegal people even if you want to.
However, Rivera didn't get the chance to vent his nonsense without some backlash. Many criticized him on social media for his absurd characterization of those who oppose illegal immigration.
X user sarwinston definitely gave the best answer, writing, “Lekan Riley saw one. This was the last thing he saw. Tell his name is Geraldo.
But Riley saw one. This was the last thing he saw.
Tell his name is Geraldo.

Laken Riley is a vibrant 22-year-old student from Georgia who was allegedly murdered by a dangerous illegal alien who was allowed by the Biden administration to roam freely in the country without any repercussions.
X User Kevin Dalton posted titleFrom stories of illegal Americans being raped and murdered. Dalton said, “Okay, let's meet some people, shall we?” And added a link to his previous posts with titles.
Another X user described Rivera as an “idiot.”
“You are full of BS and ego. Read what you just posted. This is stupid,” she wrote. “Physically knowing whether someone is here illegally or not has no bearing on what their presence is doing to our country. Crime is rising everywhere, taxpayers in large democratic cities are paying the most – their state and city taxes go up to providing housing, food, clothing and medical care – all for free. Most of those who came illegally will never contribute to our country. They will always be dependent on American citizens to continue supporting them economically.
“Prove your support for them. Invite a family – No one is obligated to live with you to show what wonderful citizens you are. Put your money where your big mouth is,” he demanded.
You are full of BS and ego. Read what you just posted. that's silly. Physically knowing whether someone is here illegally or not has no bearing on the impact their presence is having on our country. Crime is increasing everywhere, taxpayers in big democracies…

Rivera has been promoting this soft ideology on illegal immigration for years. In 2007, he and former Fox News star Bill O'Reilly had an intense debate about illegal aliens and their impact on this country.
Geraldo Rivera has been tender on illegals for many years. They usually don't care what number of People pay the value within the meantime.
