Laura Ingraham Uses Taco Bell Ad To Mock Immigrant Children's Detention Plight

Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, a contributor for Fox and ABC News, used a sound bite from a Taco Bell commercial to mock the plight of hundreds of migrant children fleeing violence in Central America who are being held in a makeshift shelter in southern Arizona.
The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that nearly 60,000 unaccompanied children who will make the dangerous trip from Central America over the next year fleeing violence will require care. In Nogales, Arizona, the Department of Homeland Security made available a warehouse to house thousands of children, but according to local media outlets, it has not been without problems. CBS Houston reported that some of the children have complained to the consul of Honduras that the food provided by the shelter is making them sick.
On the June 10 edition of her radio show, Ingraham responded to this news by dismissing the children's plight, saying, "I bet there are a lot of American kids who would like free food before they go to bed at night." She followed her comments with a sound clip from a Taco Bell advertising campaign of the 1990s, in which a chihuahua says repeatedly, "Yo quiero Taco Bell."

insensitive right wing zealots show us that all the talk about embracing immigrants and caring about them is a big fat lie, "no citizenship just a wish in one hand poop in the other wait 13 years and maybe we'll start to process you", children are children they are born with no state of mind, blind to the ways of mankind and mankind takes total advantage and relegate them to pawns on a chess board now if those who do that could learn how to play chess maybe there would be some positive movement and help for those kids, until we have republican give a damn let 'em eat cake attitude except their is no cake.  republicans don't want to feed children that are not White so don't immigrants fall into that jackpot?
