Interestingly, Rupert Murdoch was born in Melbourne and had Australian citizenship from 1931 to 1985. He was raised on it.

13. "chaos and filth and crime" when talking about immigrants - this is hate speech

The actual case he used to scare his viewers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_America_Thayer

Saborit was an illegal immigrant from Cuba, who was wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According them, prior to the murder, he had a criminal record which included domestic assault charges in Minnesota and Louisiana, a DUI, and running from a police officer.[4] They attempted to deport him in 2012, but Cuba would not approve his travel documents and so he remained in the country

So the problem is that a psychopath came from Cuba (where Republicans are normally only too pleased to accept immigrants from), and they tried to send him back, but Cuba refused (perhaps they knew what a psychopath he was?). Carlson's "the Biden administration did this on purpose" was just a simple lie, and an outrageous accusation.

But Carlson, having misrepresented the case, then jumps into classic "immigrants are filthy" slurs. That claim has nothing to do with that murder. It's the rebirth of Goebbels.
