Hey Tucker, you dumb mother....
...*couph*. Sorry.

It appeares bow tie boy sort of forgot that Puerto Ricans are indeed American Citizens. And yes, that includes the ones in Texas as well. :eyes:


Summary:
On MSNBC's Tucker, host Tucker Carlson said to guest Jesse Diaz, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, "you may be counting Hispanic immigrants from Puerto Rico," after Diaz said that "only 55 percent of illegals are of Mexican descent." However, all native Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

On the July 10 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, host Tucker Carlson said to guest Jesse Diaz, Dallas chapter president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, "you may be counting Hispanic immigrants from Puerto Rico," after Diaz said that "only 55 percent of illegals are of Mexican descent," even though all native Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. During a discussion about illegal immigrant women giving birth at a Dallas hospital, Diaz challenged Carlson's assertion that the United States should "bill Mexico" for services used by illegal immigrants, by pointing out that illegal immigrants come from countries other than Mexico. In response, Carlson recited census data indicating that less than 2 percent of Hispanics living in Dallas are of Puerto Rican or Cuban descent.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. not to mention Cuba
He also implied illegal immigrants come from Cuba.

Under current US law NO illegal immigrants come from Cuba. The second they step foot on US soil (Puerto Rico included) they are considered refugees and welcome.

So he was actually wrong twice in the same sentence
