Geraldo Rivera Absolutely Loses It: We Treat Migrants as if They’re ‘Zombies from The Walking Dead!’

EXCERPT:

RIVERA: "I refused to deal with this is a media issue, because it’s far too important. With all due respect, Jesse, this is something that goes to the very quick, this goes to my soul. Fulfilling my role as the designated pinata on Fox News, I want to say I am ashamed. This tear gas choked me, we treat these people, these economic refugees as if they are zombies from The Walking Dead. We arrested 42 people, eight of them were women with children. We have to deal with this problem humanely and with compassion. These are not invaders. Stop using these military analogies. This is absolutely painful to watch. We are a nation of immigrants. These are desperate people. They walked 2,000 miles. Why? Because they want to rape your daughter or steal your lunch? No. Because they want a job. They want to fill the millions of unfilled jobs we have in the agriculture sector, they want to wash dishes in the restaurants, they want to deliver the pizzas. For goodness sake. Can’t we suspend our humanity when it comes to this issue, and I fear that it is because they look different."
