NextImg:Critics Rip Brian Kilmeade's 'Chilling' Remark About Undocumented Immigrants
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade sparked outrage after arguing that undocumented immigrants “don’t deserve” due process before being removed from the country.

Critics on social media slammed the remark as “chilling.”

During Monday’s episode of “Fox & Friends.” Kilmeade dismissed the feasibility of holding legal proceedings for the millions of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.

“It’s not practical to think that we can do due process,” Kilmeade said while discussing President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies. Trump vowed to deport millions during his 2024 campaign.

“If we are going to give these guys a day in court and a lawyer, we can’t do it. They don’t deserve it,” Kilmeade added. “Our system doesn’t need to be double burdened.”

Watch here:

Brian Kilmeade calls for the end of due process: "It's not practical to think we can do due process on 8 million people ... if we're gonna give every one of these guys a day in a court and a lawyer, we can't do it. They don't deserve it."

Kilmeade’s comment sparked swift pushback.

Critics highlighted the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that no person shall be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” and warned how innocent people could now be caught up and mistakenly deported or removed from the country following Trump’s recent invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 that allows the ignoring of standard legal proceedings.

It’s not a question of whether someone “deserves” due process or notIT’S THE LAWThis is enshrined in our Constitution and solidified by numerous Supreme Court decisionsSo what does Kilmeade want to do?Rely on Trump or Rubio to decide when we should follow the law-based on “trust me, bro”?

If Due Process isn't practical - then this isn't the United States. That's the very hallmark of justice and Kilmeade is a tool of the oppressor. https://t.co/Typ5Wzo7R1

I don’t think that Brian is understanding the issue at hand. One thing is to deport people that are here illegally. It’s another thing to sentence people to prison (in another country) with no due process and no recourse. Which is much different than deportation.

Unfortunately for @kilmeade (but fortunately for all freedom- and liberty-loving people), due process is not contingent on it being "convenient" or us thinking someone "deserves it."

It's mandatory. https://t.co/WOKSezZ0ja

I wonder how Brian Kilmeade would feel if a Democratic president were deny him due process. The reason due process is exists is because every single person (even people like him who want to push us into fascism) are innocent until proven guilty. https://t.co/yKKLY8HXIh

They don’t get it because they “deserve” it. It is everyone’s right and if they don’t get it then we all run the risk of losing a fundamental right and the rule of law.

This is one of the most chilling and idiotic statements in the history of chilling and idiotic statements.

Does that mean Brian is willing to forego his due process rights because they are impractical? I'm waiting.

I’m convinced that the people who don’t see the comparisons to Nazi Germany by this point will never be on the right side of history.

Any person in the United States of America is afforded due process.

We don’t just stop it because there’s a lot of people that need due process or because it’s too burdensome.

It is the way we protect regular people from being unjustly punished by the government.

Oh it’s too hard to give everyone due process? So we’re just going to randomly pick who gets it? Great, when he or someone in his family get arrested we should just put them on a plane to a prison camp with no due process and tell him too bad we don’t have the resources for that.

They should not be denied due process. The process that is due to them is a biometric identity verification and prompt, humane deportation.
