Ann Coulter Under Fire For Calling Illegal Immigrant Children ‘Child Actors,’ But There’s More To The Story

Illegal immigration is one of Ann Coulter’s big topics. She’s very passionate about securing our borders and putting American citizens first.

HOWEVER. There’s a clip floating around Twitter, and it’s rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. It sounds like she was describing a bunch of illegal immigrant children at the border as “child actors.”

Here’s the thing. Ann Coulter’s not wrong about the misinformation campaign. How many pictures have we seen of desperate kids in “cages,” only to find out that the pictures originally came from STAGED PROTESTS?

And the other pictures? Those came from the OBAMA years.

HOWEVER. Context is key here. Ann Coulter was actually referring to a specific article. This article right here. It’s from 2011 and titled, “The Asylum Seeker.” Underneath it reads, “For a chance at a better life, it helps to make your bad story worse.”

Here’s a snippet:

Now she was working on a story—a four-page document, in French, that she would give to a lawyer she had hired, and to immigration officials—saying that she was beaten and raped more than once by government soldiers in her country. “I have never been raped,” she admitted, giggling with embarrassment.

A clerk in Caroline’s lawyer’s office had suggested, “Why don’t you say you were circumcised?” Caroline told her that female circumcision wasn’t practiced in her country. So she had learned how to play a rape victim. She had pangs about lying: “Telling that story makes me sad, because I know it’s true for someone.”

A friend of mine, a former lawyer who has represented people in asylum cases, had recently told me about the difficulty of making a persuasive asylum plea these days. “The immigration people know the stories. There’s one for each country. There’s the Colombian rape story—they all say they were raped by the farc. There’s the Rwandan rape story, the Tibetan refugee story. The details for each are the same.”

You get the idea.

You guys are genius researchers. I just Direct-Tweeted you the precise article I was referring to – https://t.co/voVMiW9YJk https://t.co/WCWHZiK2Gr

If you were too lazy to check to see if I’d replied to your direct tweet, you could have looked up my other source, fully footnoted with GOBS of substantiation: ADIOS, AMERICA! (Chap 15: “Shut it Down”) https://t.co/WCWHZiK2Gr

Our media is incapable of finding a fact, given on national TV, with 2 sources – a New Yorker article from 2011, cited in Adios, America (along with many, many many other sources). https://t.co/WCWHZiK2Gr

So you just lie to your readers. And you wonder why @realDonaldTrump crowds go wild when he calls you “FAKE NEWS.” https://t.co/WCWHZiK2Gr

You’re morons and liars. Cite, after cite after cite in my book, WHICH I POINTED OUT in mentioning this one article on TV last night. https://t.co/WCWHZiK2Gr

Proving MSM total b.s. liars – they can’t dispute the mass fraud of “asylum cases” so they go to THE HOLOCAUST. If you could dispute what I said, you would. https://t.co/MTxhc3eTzT

Utterly despicable, lying media asks me for substantiation (which I gave on LIVE TV, but they’re too stupid to find even with a citation) then refuse to mention it. ADIOS, AMERICA chap 15 has proof up the wazoo.

If you had 3 functioning brain cells, @oliverdarcy, you’d be able to find 1 article on how phony asylum cases are. NEW YORKER, 2011 – https://t.co/voVMiW9YJk https://t.co/MWn9AZppNh

CNN’s @OliverDarcy thinks you’re a liar, @mamendoza480.

Oh boy.

The truth? MSM leaves a lot of information out. They’re doing it again right now.
