Discussion: Fox's Kilmeade Frets About 'Diseases' That Immigrants Could Bring To America

Kilmeade:

expressed fear Monday about the “diseases” that “entire populations” of immigrants could bring to the United States.

Many of us on this site have been fretting about the diseases that entire populations of Republicans HAVE already brought to the United States.

This is completely inline with the Lou Dobbs / Chris Farrell anti-Semitism - portrayal of Jewish people as disease ridden was one of key ways they were demonized in Nazi Germany.

And I saw on Twitter this weekend Laura Ingraham made the same comments.

Kilmeade won’t have to worry about immigrants bringing the diseases of hate, bigotry, ignorance or xenophobia. They are all homegrown.

“There is a process”. Yes, there is a process. It goes as follows. The refugees present themselves at border crossings. They are granted temporary asylum and a hearing to see if they qualify as refugees. As part of that initial process, they receive a health screening. If they are suffering from a disease, they are treated until they are no longer a risk to transmit that disease. Simple, Brian.

Geez, Brian, haven’t you gotten over your childhood fear of cooties yet?

Well, Brian, at least the immigrants aren’t carrying any new strains of that dreaded FoxNews disease - you know, “assholitis”.

Of course it’s nothing new, but it is also another page out of the Nazi playbook. The perpetual use of imagery around disease in relation to the Jews is exactly how they justified the first stages of what became the Holocaust. – Turning immigrants into alien others bringing pestilence, and essentially turning them into the infectious agent, the contagion that will harm US society is such a well worn maneuver. We really need to address the subtext of these messages far more than the overt statement.

Gee, I could swear these same words were used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe incoming immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Poland, etc. Kilmeade? That names sounds awfully fucking foreign to me.
Anyway, Brian, since the majority of your moronic viewers believe in the conspiracy theories spouted by your network and other RW cesspools, they probably think vaccinations are a government plot and will not get vaccinated, so they’re all going to die anyway from the good white Christian diseases that are already in America.

I’m really surprised she hasn’t been hired by Fox to sit on the Great Morning Couch Of Stupid.

Yeah…smallpox, syphillis, influenza, whooping cough, bubonic plague, measles, cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis were all brought in by immigrants.

But I guess those don’t count because the carriers were all white Europeans, right?!

Wonder why Kilmeade didn’t think about the millions of African savages brought to these shores un-inoculated? There were way more of them than are in the “caravan.”

I’d say ‘a pox on Kilmeade,’ except I’m pretty sure he’s got the pox already. Along with an assortment of other social diseases.

It would appear that no one has explained to Kilmeade that in most countries “south of the border,” the rates of childhood vaccination are considerably higher than they are in the U.S.

Today Kilmeade and Fox will discuss the risks of having a population of diseased poor in our country, presumably because they didn’t have access to quality healthcare. Tomorrow they’ll continue to push to repeal Obamacare, starve Medicaid and Medicare, etc. The disconnect won’t bother them, because in the end it’s all about having a white country where the wealthiest pay minimal taxes.
