He's actually implying that a path to citizenship for current undocumented immigrants could somehow turn this country into South Africa under apartheid.
He also accused Democrats of wanting to "import ten million voters".
He even attacked the DACA kids.
Why did the host just leave everything this bastard said unchallenged?

It also appears that one of the issues which may have shifted Pollak to the hard right was the support of Ronnie Kasrils,, a long-time South African Communist Party member and the most powerful Jewish member of the ANC government, for the Palestinian cause, Kasrils' criticism of Israeli policies towards Palestinians, and especially the invitation Kasrils' extended to Palestinian Authority prime minister Ismael Haniyeh to visit South Africa.

(4,218 posts)The current host is also on the Early am show. I dont know her name but Im not a fan. She also has the 4 pm Sunday slot. I usually turn her off.
I agree about Alex Witt. Plus sometimes she just sounds ditzy and confused. Its getting tough to watch.

(50,254 posts)-which is a bizarre statement, given that the apartheid regime was defined by the practices of enshrining white supremacy IN THE LAW....an idea South Africa may have picked up from OUR history-in which white supremacy was codified by the passage of such pieces of legislation as the Fugitive Slave Act, the State of Oregon's "eight-hour law" (a law on the books from 1859 to 1926, which gave African-Americans eight hours to LEAVE Oregon if discovered within its boundaries), the "sundown town laws" in places like Washington state, and, of course, the "Jim Crow" laws.

I wish Lawrence O'Donnell would have been the host !!!! he would have destroyed the DACA hater guy.
Shame on you MSNBC, you blew it this time ..... BIG time.
