Fox Host Kilmeade: Closing The Mexican Border Could Cause A Recession But That's Called Leadership

“The auto industry would basically be grinded to a halt in about two weeks. $1.7 billion of services flow back and forth daily, and for the most part a shutdown could lead — a prolonged shutdown between the two countries could lead to a recession in Mexico and the U.S. What the president’s saying is, I will do whatever it takes to secure the country even if it hurts us economically because my first job is security. That’s called leadership. And if Republicans don’t go with it I get that too, but the president’s got a different responsibility.” – Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, on this morning’s show.

Firstly can you imagine a starker example of male pale stale rich privilege than that statement?

Secondly as we all know that the safety issue is complete bollocks - the only argument they could possibly have to stop immigrants is that they take white peoples jobs..... but on the basis of the logic above they cannot possible say this anymore, can they? After all if they manage to pull this shit off - how many of their blue collar workers are about to get screwed?

Leading people out of a plane at 5000 feet without a parachute is "leadership," too, then. Trump style leadership.
