'It's not fair': Fox & Friends host cruelly trashes immigrants for eating and 'living here for free'

While encouraging President Donald Trump to secure the border, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt lashed out at immigrants who she resents for "putting food on the table" and because they "live here for free."

"In a couple of weeks the president is going to go down and look at the prototype [border] walls [and] I think he's really determined," Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade explained on Tuesday's program. "The last time they had this thing and the president said, 'Okay, I'll postpone building the wall.' I sense that he really feels as though he might have made the wrong decision there. And now, I don't see any give."

Co-host Steve Doocy argued that "the president gave himself another bargaining chip" in negotiations with Democrats by quashing the residency permits of about 200,000 Salvadorans who were granted Temporary Protected Status due to earthquakes in their home country.

"The president made that a bargaining chip just like he did with DACA," Doocy proclaimed.

"I don't think it's about separating families," Earhardt chimed in. "It's about keeping our country safe. It's about patriotism, keeping drugs outside of the United States and keeping people, taxpaying citizens -- it's not fair for people to work hard, to go to work every single day to put food on the table of other people are getting a pass and living here for free."

According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, "undocumented immigrants are taxpayers too and collectively contribute an estimated $11.74 billion to state and local coffers each year."

"On average, the nation’s estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants pay 8 percent of their incomes in state and local taxes every year," the institute notes in a 2017 report. "While it is unlikely to happen in the current political environment, undocumented immigrants’ state and local tax contributions could increase by up to $2.1 billion under comprehensive immigration reform, boosting their effective tax rate to 8.6 percent."

CNN Money points out that "[u]ndocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law, even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years."
