Ann Coulter Falsely Asserts One Quarter Of Mexico's Population Has Been "Taken In" By U.S.

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter grossly misrepresented Pew data, falsely suggesting that 25 percent of Mexico's population has been "taken in" by the United States, creating a false narrative that is spreading through right-wing media. 
During a May 26 interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, Coulter alleged that the United States has "taken in one quarter of the entire Mexican population." 
Coulter doubled-down on her claim while appearing on the May 28 edition of The Sean Hannity Show, citing the Pew Research Center to assert "yeah we already have a quarter, a quarter of the entire Mexican population." 
Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh parroted Coulter's assertion the same day, claiming "25 percent of the total population of Mexico has already immigrated, not all legal obviously, to the United States." Rush went on to say "you can trace the demise of California to this." 
The Pew data Coulter referenced actually includes both "native born" and "foreign born" Hispanics of Mexican origin. Pew's summary of the data explained that "this estimate includes 11.4 million immigrants born in Mexico and 22.3 million born in the U.S. who self-identified as Hispanics of Mexican origin." 
That means 65 percent of the people Coulter claimed that the United States has "taken in," were born in this country. 
this my friends has laid out the machinations of the right wing republican propaganda factory, where lies and innuendo are second only to over embellished misinformation designed to scare those susceptible into thinking Hispanics are taking over guess the Sharia law Muslims gave up.  they don't want them here no matter how eloquent Paul or the others speak about bringing them in the whack a moles will pop up and drop the knowledge on you it's all a hoax.  

they speak of how republicans have a real chance because of the Hispanic vote with Rubio and Cruz leading the Exodus  i really hope they don't fall for that ED (elephant dung)  this is where we need to shine a light and speak to the insanity that they hate them forever they pop up daily disparagingly and claim ownership of their votes.  we need to let them know it ain't that kind of party for that party bigotry and discrimination the rule of the days all 365 of them and that one on leap year.

nationalized or born here makes no difference to them they are potential Pogressive voters and have little value to republican you can't win something over if you are who you were while losing it. opposing Pres. Executive Action on immigration they refuse to address while claiming it to be a must do priority admitting they need their votes shows who's there and who's not who's zoomin who no longer a question.
