Ann Coulter on Illegal Migrants: ‘If You Shoot One … Maybe …
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter proposed a novel solution for illegal immigration, suggesting that U.S. border guards might solve the problem and send a message to others by shooting a migrant trying to cross into the United States.
I mean, unless theyre going to shoot one and send a message to the rest, Coulter told radio hostLars Larson earlier this week. If you shoot one to encourage the others, maybe theyll learn, but otherwise, well see, well see.
Coulter analogized her position to the Voltaire line from Candide We hang one to encourage the others.

The GOP fire queen was on the program to continue her excoriation tour against President Trump, which has been ongoing since he signed the federal omnibus spending bill last March.
Coulter told Larson that she was not confident that the presidents latest plan to send the military to police the U.S. border would make any noticeable difference.
Both Obama and Bush did this too. No, theres a reason the chant was we want a wall, we dont want to use the military to process illegals and let them into the country, she said.
While Coulter still hasnt completely jumped off the Trump Train and the movement which led Donald Trump to the White House she has become increasingly ferocious in her denunciations.
During a talk at Columbia University last month, Coulter called the president a shallow, lazy, ignoramus.
As one of 45 people the president follows on Twitter, it is almost impossible to believe he hasnt noticed the upswing in attacks from Coulter. To date, however, he has declined from attacking her publicly.
Laura Ingraham lost eight sponsors from her Fox News show this week after criticizing Parkland shooting survivor and activist David Hogg. And it's not even the first time she's been at the center of a public feud this year. Here are several recent instances where Ingraham has taken to Twitter or to the air and stirred national attention.
David Hogg
On March 28, Ingraham tweeted, "David Hogg by Rejected Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it." Hogg then called for a boycott of 12 companies that advertise on Ingraham's show. Eight sponsors in all, Hulu, TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Nutrish, Expedia, Stitch Fix, Johnson & Johnson and Nestle pulled their ads from The Ingraham Angle. Ingraham issued an apology, but didn't address the topic on her show and hasn't yet deleted her original tweet. Hogg then told CNN that he plans to put even more pressure on Ingraham and others.The fact that theyre going after us personally shows that what were doing is working. We have them scared and now we have to go even harder, Hogg said.
LeBron James
When NBA stars LeBron James and Kevin Durant made some anti-Trump remarks during an interview with ESPN's Cari Champion, Ingraham called James's comments "ignorant" and said, "Youre great players; no one voted for you. Millions elected Trump to be their coach. So keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone once said, shut up and dribble.' Her statement earned a strong response from James, even though he said he didn't even know Ingraham's name.I will not just shut up and dribble, the Cleveland Cavaliers player said. So, thank you, whatever her name is I get to sit up here and talk about whats really important and how I can help change kids." Ingraham issued a statement that there was no racial intent behind her words and that she has used the expression telling entertainers to "Shut Up" frequently in the past.
Hillary Clinton
While speaking at the Republican National Convention, Ingraham was criticized for appearing to give the Nazi salute after her speech. She then dragged Hillary Clinton into the controversy, tweeting a collage of photos of Clinton also extending her hand in a similar fashion. "It's Hillary ... hands down!" "Duh its a satiric response to the left-wing criticism of Lauras wave last night. Desperate liberals, Ingraham tweeted.
Paul Ryan
Back in 2015 when Paul Ryan was being considered to be Speaker of the House, he said he would accept the job on the condition that "family comes first." "I cannot and I will not give up my family time," Ryan said. Ingraham tweeted, but later deleted, a criticism saying, "like no one has ever sacrificed family time to serve the country?" "Our country is in a crisis and we need Republican leaders willing to unconditionally offer their service to the country," she added in a separate tweet.
MikaBrzezinski
Engaged hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough have a habit of getting flirty on "Morning Joe," and Ingraham finds it hilarious. On Feb. 8, Sean Hannity prepared to hand off the time Ingraham when she started twirling her hair, lilting her voice and doing her best flirty Brzenzski impression.What, what Sean, youre always right. No youre always right. You. Are. Always. Right. I mean, really, Ingraham said.
Ed Schultz
Ingraham didn't start this fight. The MSNBC personality called Ingraham a "right-wing slut" on his radio show, a comment that earned him a week-long suspension from MSNBC. He apologized and called his comments "vile and inappropriate," and Ingraham accepted his apology. She even joked that Schultz used to be conservative."We'll welcome you back with open arms," she said.
Donald Trump
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Ingraham critiqued the president for leaving much of his executive branch understaffed.We can all look at these horrific pictures, and we can conclude that a federal government does need staff," Ingraham said. Trump, a frequent viewer of "Fox & Friends," heard Ingraham's criticism of his administration loud and clear and responded to her directly on Twitter. "We are not looking to fill all of those positions. Don't need many of them reduce size of government, Trump tweeted.
Shepard Smith
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith gave some pointed criticism to his colleagues, telling Time that he knows some of Fox's opinion shows are "strictly to be entertaining." "I dont work there. I wouldnt work there. I dont want to sit around and yell at each other and talk about your philosophy and my philosophy. That sounds horrible to me. Both Sean Hannity and Ingraham took issue with Smith's comments. "Always liked Shep, but his comments were inconsiderate & inaccurate. The hard working team at the Ingraham Angle does real reporting, develops impt sources and scores big interviews. Very proud of them," she tweeted.
Host of The Ingraham Angle has also critiqued Paul Ryan, Donald Trump and Shepard Smith
Laura Ingraham lost eight sponsors from her Fox News show this week after criticizing Parkland shooting survivor and activist David Hogg. And it's not even the first time she's been at the center of a public feud this year. Here are several recent instances where Ingraham has taken to Twitter or to the air and stirred national attention.
