MSNBC host Maria Hinojosa expresses concern that Biden pardons illegal immigrants
Maria Hinojosa advises President Biden to prevent Trump from deporting illegals before he takes office. In other words, she is pushing for a mass pardon for said criminals in order to prevent them from being removed from the country. During an appearance on The Saturday Show, Hinojosa called this tactic “over the top” but also argued that it pales in comparison to the “mass deportations” promised by Trump.
In the segment, MSNBC host Chris Hayes highlighted the looming threat of increased deportations under the incoming administration. Hinojosa admitted that this is a major concern for liberals, who are already strategizing ways to resist such measures. She played into the anti-Trump rhetoric by calling his promised deportations “over the top” and expressing worry that many people are not “connected enough” to realize the gravity of the situation.
Hinojosa also made an arguably provocative statement, in which she advised activists to “arm people, especially immigrants, to believe in themselves.” This language seems to suggest that illegal immigrants are somehow vulnerable and need to be convinced of their worth, which is a tactic frequently used by liberals in the media.
During a separate appearance on The Saturday Show, Hinojosa reiterated her belief that Biden should immediately pardon illegal immigrants in order to prevent their deportation. She also acknowledged that this idea has been labeled “extreme” by some. However, she pointed out that the plan to deport them is also “extreme” and argued that her proposed alternative would effectively thwart the entire strategy.
Hinojosa continued to espouse her liberal agenda during an appearance on Ayman’s show on Sunday. She called Trump’s plans for deportations “insane” and criticized the idea of separating mothers from their children as a form of punishment. It seems as though Hinojosa is using hyperbolic language in order to paint a distorted picture of the situation and elicit a sympathetic response from viewers.
Hinojosa is using her platform at MSNBC to push her own agenda and try to influence the new administration. However, it is important to remember that her proposed solution – pardoning criminal illegal immigrants – goes against the law and is simply a ploy to keep them in the country illegally. This kind of biased reporting from the liberal media only serves to divide the country and perpetuate falsehoods. As Biden takes office, it is imperative that the American people demand honest and fair reporting from the media.
