Andrea Mitchell Shocked as ICE Boss Blames Illegal Aliens for Breaking the Law

Not even MSNBC viewers could fall for this.

Andrea Mitchell, a talking head whose grasp of facts is often not quite what news consumers should expect from their television hosts, took her own reputation down another notch on Tuesday with statements on last week’s immigration raids in Mississippi.

And the parents are the ones to blame for that.

“Every law enforcement agency enforces the law against individuals who have broken it,” Albence said. ”The parents or the individuals that are breaking the law are ultimately the ones that are responsible for placing their children in this situation.”

He explained that when police officers respond to a domestic disturbance call, they often make arrests of individuals while their children are present.

Mature people who in possession of their faculties generally understand that that’s the way the law works.

Other people, like, say, Andrea Mitchell, pretend to be astonished at even the possibility.
