During a discussion Wednesday morning on MSNBC, co-hostJoeScarborough claimedPresident Donald Trump has ablind spot on the issue of illegal immigration and attributed the wellbeing of the nations entire economy to undocumented aliens.

We have an economy, lets face it, we have an economy that is built on illegal immigration, Scarborough told Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, We have an economy that is built on that.

That phrase right there makes him sound more like a dictator in training.

The discussion was based on new memos issued by the Department of Homeland Security instructing border and immigration officials to ramp up enforcement. The enforcement guidance made clear the administrations priority targets arecriminal aliens with felony convictions.

But to Scarborough even a crackdown on newcomers at the border and the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants was too much. The MSNBC co-host instead suggested blanket amnesty for all theroughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the nation.

That is why I say why dont you just legalize it? Scarborough quipped.

Scarborough suggested many of the same conservatives who support Trump's immigration position have directly benefited from illegal immigrant labor.

"But the hypocrisy," Scarboroughsaid, "when we had Hurricane Ivan in 2005 you couldnt get insurance fast enough to fix up home. Guess who went up without workers comp. And fixed those homes?"

Brzezinski suggested Trump hasundermined the media to such a degree "that he can actually control exactly what people think." "And that is our job," Brzezinski claimed.

"Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts," Brzezinski added.

Scarborough responded with what has become a common Trump attack line from him,arguing Trump'sattacks on the media are similar tothe actions of the 20th century's brutal dictators.

"It's when he says the media is the 'enemy of the people,' where he sounds like Mussolini or Lenin," Scarborough said,"that phrase right there makes him sound more like a dictator in training."
