Fox News Rips Buttigieg, Suggests Lives Could Have Been Saved Without Illegal Immigrants

Shannon Bream’s Heated Exchange with Pete Buttigieg Over Migrant Crime

Fox News host Shannon Bream did not hold back during her recent interview with Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The topic? Illegal migrant crime in the United States, a contentious issue that has been pushed to the forefront of national debates. As Democrats continue to downplay Vice President Kamala Harris’ role as border czar amidst the ongoing migrant crisis, Bream took it upon herself to challenge Buttigieg on the matter during “Fox News Sunday.”

The Democrats’ Attempt to Minimize Harris’ Involvement

Reports suggest that Democrats have been sending talking points to lawmakers and others in an attempt to minimize Harris’ involvement in the border crisis. But Bream was not satisfied with these attempts at deflection. She pressed Buttigieg on the reality of the situation, refusing to let him sidestep the issue.

Buttigieg’s Diversion Tactics and Bream’s Pushback

During their discussion, Buttigieg tried to shift the focus towards the Republican National Convention (RNC) and their messaging on immigrant crime. However, Bream was quick to push back, pointing out that if these individuals were not in the country illegally, “people would still be alive.”

Recognizing Immigration Impact: A Bipartisan Issue

Bream acknowledged that even Democratic governors and mayors have recognized the impact of immigration and crime in every state, making it a bipartisan issue. Yet, Buttigieg attempted to dismiss this, choosing instead to focus on the RNC’s message that immigration ultimately leads to an increase in crime.

Bream Refuses to Let Buttigieg Dominate Conversation

Bream was not willing to let Buttigieg dominate the conversation. As he continued to speak over her, she reminded him of the “sweep of high profile cases” and the victims who have suffered at the hands of illegal migrants. She stressed that if these criminals were not in the country illegally, “people would still be alive.”

Buttigieg’s Dismissal of Violent Crimes

Despite Bream’s arguments, Buttigieg brushed off the examples of violent crimes and sexual assaults by illegal migrants. He made claims that “crime is down under Joe Biden” and “crime was up under Donald Trump.” He even accused Fox News of not reporting on the data, to which Bream quickly responded that they do indeed invite and welcome the presentation of such data.

The Harsh Reality of Illegal Immigration

The reality remains that since President Biden took office in January 2021, approximately 1.9 million illegal migrants have entered into the U.S., known as “getaways.” Tragically, there are countless cases of women falling victim to violent crimes and sexual assaults, including 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 37-year-old mother of five Rachel Morin, and 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley.

Final Thoughts

As their conversation concluded, Bream reiterated that she and her colleagues still welcome a fact-based discussion on the issue. The truth must prevail. Given these alarming statistics and heartbreaking stories, it’s clear that the surge of illegal immigration under the Biden administration has led to an increase in crime. It’s time for Democrats to take responsibility for the consequences of their policies.
