Description: http://mediamatters.org/items/200703120002 O'Reilly to viewer: "Your so-called compassion helped kill those children" in Bronx fire On the March 9 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly responded to an email from a viewer complaining about his statement the previous day that the victims of a March 7 fire in the Bronx in which one adult and eight children were killed "may be illegal aliens" by stating: "Your so-called compassion helped kill those kids." He later added: "It's people like you, [viewer], who promote that kind of chaos in the name of compassion, who look the other way while poor workers and children are exploited by greedy landlords and businesses because you don't like the immigration laws." Later in the program, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera chastised O'Reilly, claiming that "to make the connection between illegal immigration and that horrific fire in the Bronx two days ago is an injustice to the victims of that fire." On both March 8 and March 9, O'Reilly complained that New York City policies regarding illegal immigrants made it impossible to determine if the fire victims were illegal immigrants because New York "is a sanctuary city." According to a March 2004 Congressional Research Service report titled "Enforcing Immigration Law: The Role of State and Local Law Enforcement," which lists New York among "[c]ities and counties currently that have sanctuary policies," "Most cities that are considered sanctuary cities have adopted a 'don't ask-don't tell' policy where they don't require their employees, including law enforcement officers, to report to federal officials aliens who may be illegally present in the country." |

| jdb00 ::: Favorites 2007-03-19 03:39:52 the great irony of conservatives and liberals: conservatives think banning stuff solves problems such as drug abuse and "over"-immigration, and liberals view such problems as inevitable and seek to deal with them more openly and pragmatically. why this is the case i do not know. one would think the conservative doctrine would conflict with such a vehement desire to enforce. __________________________________________________ | |

| 2grainsofsalt ::: Favorites 2007-03-17 01:21:12 And you STILL don't begin to APPROACH any of the complex issues of real, living, growing communities. Your pretentious comment on "Philipinoes" speaks volumes. Just because you view "Asians" as a singular, cartoonish, successful group (that you can't spell), doesn't mean any of these communities even vaguely resemble your sad, ignorant fantasy. __________________________________________________ | |
| 2grainsofsalt ::: Favorites 2007-03-17 01:17:07 You try to describe "your immigrants", "your asians", and the "performance" of ill-defined "Asian" groups like "Philipinoes". Has it occurred to you that there are some from these communities reading the ignorant, pretentious things that you are writing, and who know precisely how ignorant your comments are? __________________________________________________ | |
| 2grainsofsalt ::: Favorites 2007-03-17 01:04:29 Ask your parents, or, if they are like you, find someone else who is actually literate and who can explain to you what "refuge", "refugee", and "compassion" mean, for starters. (Don't bother beginning to pay attention to the spelling of basic words, roughly comprehending the meaning would be a good start for you.) __________________________________________________ | |
| 2grainsofsalt ::: Favorites 2007-03-17 01:03:14 Interesting that you wrote about worsening "education levels", but you can't spell the word "privilege". You just continue to show your ignorance. No, sad, hypocritical, ignorant person, the "cream of the crop" (used by you to mean ill-defined "Asian" groups like "Philipinoes") are not the only humans who should be admitted into the US, of course. __________________________________________________ | |
| scottynx ::: Favorites 2007-03-16 22:26:36 When you advocate for zero selectivity in immigration policies, be honest and tell people that it will worsen the lives of current US inhabitants, through higher crime rates, murder rates, illegitimacy rates, lower per capita gdp and lower education levels, but nevertheless, you believe it is the morally right thing for the US to do. __________________________________________________ | |

Humans are yours to "import" and no one is "your immigrant". You are a disgrace. __________________________________________________ | |
