Ann Coulter: ‘Of Course’ the Left Is ‘Using Children’ to …

In an interview with talk radio host Howie Carr, Coulter said, of course media pundits, the open borders lobby, and Democrats are using President Donald Trumps zero tolerance policy at the border as a way to gain support for their preferred mass immigration and cheap labor economic model.

Coulter said:

Who cares if this started under Trump or Obama. What the Lefts argument is: Trump is a liar, therefore we get to wreck your country. No, no these are fake phony frauds. This is a political movement to bring people in. Of course theyre using children. Of course theyre having children weeping and crying. What are we going to do, take in all of Latin America? And by the way, these are the people who say that America itself, Oh, were a hateful country, were misogynist and the rape culture, and were so racist, racist, racist. Theyre always telling us how racist Americans are. Why would you want to bring people into a country thats such a horrible place? [Emphasis added]

During a White House press briefing on Monday evening, a reporter from the establishment media advocated for a border policy that halted all detention of border crossers until the Republican-controlled Congress closed the legal loophole that prevents child border crossers from being detained with their parents, or the adults accompanying them, until they are deported.

Such a policy would result in an open border and likely a surge of illegal immigration and asylum claims, though, the southern border has already been inundated with asylum requests and illegal immigration.

The policy to prosecute all illegal border crossers, including illegal alien adults who cross the border with children, results in border-crossing parents having their children taken into federal custody. This is a loophole known as theFlores SettlementAgreement.

Child border crossers, asBreitbart News reported, actually have a higher standard of living than the 13 million American children who are living in poverty.

Ann Coulter Claims Detention Camp Kids Are Actors Pulling …

EXCLUSIVE

Ann Coulter's spewing a wild new theory about kids in detention camps ... claiming the kids are all part of a huge "political stunt" designed to destroy America.

Coulter was out in NYC Tuesday when we asked her if she's seen the latest pictures of kids being held in cages while their parents are criminally prosecuted under the Trump administration's strict new policies.

Coulter's adamant the kids are actors ... though she offers ZERO proof. In the past she's claimed a New Yorker article backs her "actors" theory, but we, and others, have dug for such an article -- to no avail.

We reminded her Laura Bushand several other former First Ladies have called the camps inhumane while speaking out against Trump's policy. Well, Coulter even gave them a piece of her mind, too.

There's no denying, Coulter's fired up here -- but ya might wanna take it with a grain of salt.

Actually, grab the whole shaker.

Ann Coulter to Trump: Migrant children are child actors …

In the flourishing world of baseless conspiracy theories, this one, part hoax, part smear, has been having its moment.

The idea that people whose experiences speak to some of the consequences of government policies are not to be taken at face value, and are actually crisis actors workingfor a nefarious purpose, has taken on particular prominence in the wake of mass shootings,such as those in Newtown, Conn., and Parkland, Fla.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Sunday became the latest figure to spreada similar claim, as a guest on a Fox News show, when she charged that some of the migrant children who have been photographed in varying stages of distresswere child actors, in a bit of messaging she directed at President Trump.

These child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24/7 right now; do not fall for it, Mr. President, she said, staring directly into the camera.I get very nervous about the president getting his news from TV.

The separation of children from their parents, a result of a new hard-line immigration enforcement practicerolled out by the Trump administration in recent months, has become a lightning rod political issue, an emotional wedge that has cut across partisan lines in the midst of the national debate about immigration. Supporters of the president have defended the practice, blaming parents for bringing their children across the border and arguing that the children are well cared for once they are takenaway. The president has blamed Democrats, though the practice is a result of changes made by his appointees.

Though many Trump supporters have defended the practice, until now no high-profile figures had questioned the authenticity of thechildrens experiences.

Instead, more information about the separations 2,300children have been taken from their parents since the beginning of May, around the time the new zero tolerance policy was rolled out has trickled out in recent days, in the form of reporters visits to the detention centers where the children are held, pictures and even leaked audio. A photograph by Getty Images John Moore of a 2-year-old crying as her mother was patted down by a border agent before the two were separated ricocheted around the media-sphere over the weekend, becoming a stand-in for what some see as the abject cruelty of the new practice.

Moore, who has been photographing the border for 10 years after stints covering war zones overseas, told The Washington Postabout how he took the photo, after watching a group of migrants cross the border in boats before being apprehended by agents.

Coulters remarks went unquestioned by Fox News host Steve Hilton, on whose show she appeared. He did try to move the conversation forward as a break in the show approached.

I dont know if thats he said, trailing off as Coulter continued. I told you we wouldnt get a word in, he said to the two other guests, Republican former congressman Jason E. Chaffetz and Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.

But Coulter continued.

These kids are being coached, she said. Theyre given scripts to read by liberals. ... Dont fall for the actor children.

She said her information came from New Yorker magazine, though it was not immediately clear which report she was referring to.

Over a series of emails with The Post, Coulterdid not provide evidence for her claim.

If they were genuine asylees, theyd have stopped in Mexico, she said. Theyd go to Guatemala or Colombia. No, theyre being marched to the U.S. as a political weapon.

In a statement provided by a Fox News spokeswoman, Hilton said: I do not endorse her comments or anything else said by anyone other than myself.

Ann Coulter on Crying Immigrant Kids: ‘Don’t Fall for the …

Ann Coulter weighed in on the immigration debate on Sunday, saying that many of the images of crying children shown across cable news channels were fabricated and the result of child actors.

I would also say one other thing, these child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24/7 right now: do not fall for it, Mr. President. I get very nervous about the president getting his news from TV, said Coulter on the set of Fox News The Next Revolution.

A New Yorker article the New Yorker is not a conservative publication they describe how these kids, these kids are being coached. Theyre given scripts to read by liberals, according to the New Yorker. Dont fall for the actor children.

Its unclear which New Yorker article Coulter is referring to. Both she and New Yorker editor-in-chief David Remnick did not immediately respond to request for clarification on Monday.

The charge from Coulter is a particularly explosive one, as it is a favorite among more conspiracy-minded media figures. Reports by outlets like InfoWars and the Gateway Pundit saying that the Parkland shooting survivors were in fact crisis actors were widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans.

Coulter has long positioned herself as a ferocious hawk in Americas immigration debate and has regularly attacked President Trump over the lack of progress on the border wall with Mexico. Coulter is one of just 45 people who the president follows on Twitter and one of the very few people who has been able to attack him with impunity. Her book Adios America is widely cited as the model for President Trumps immigration policies.

The immigration issue has become increasingly charged as news outlets confirmed Monday that migrant children separated from their families were being held in cages in detention centers.

On Monday, the Associated Press was unequivocal.

Inside an old warehouse in South Texas, hundreds of children wait away from their parents in a series of cages created by metal fencing. One cage had 20 children inside. Scattered about are bottles of water, bags of chips and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets, they wrote.

Megyn Kelly calls Trump out on womenTrump famously feuded former anchor Kelly after she asked him a tough question at a Republican primary debate about derogatory statements he's made about women.

Ann Coulter: Jeff Sessions ‘Only One Doing Anything’ on …

In an interview with talk radio host Mark Simone, Coulter slammed Trumps attacks on Sessions, noting that when it comes to immigration, Sessions has accomplished more than any other cabinet member.

Coulter said:

[Sessions recusing himself] has nothing to do with Sessions and has everything to do with Trump. And this infantile, trolling your own attorney general Sessions is the only one doing anything on Trumps central campaign promise, which Trump seems to have forgotten, immigration. And now all he does to Sessions is send him nasty tweets across social media? Fire him if you dont want him. [Emphasis added]

While Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has struggled to decrease illegal immigration surges at the southern border, Sessions has introduced major reforms to courts and judicial process to ensure that border crossers are more effectively prosecuted.

Sessions, as Breitbart News has chronicled, has worked to end the Catch and Release program where border crossers are released into the interior of the U.S. by instructing judges to quickly assess immigration cases. Sessions has also dramatically increased deportation orders against illegal aliens.

Months ago, Sessions ended a taxpayer fundedfederal program that gave legal advice to illegal aliens, as Breitbart News reported.
