Basketball Legend Charles Barkley Sparks Backlash After Launching an Idiotic Attack on Trump’s Immigration Policies During March Madness (VIDEO)

Americans who were tuning in to watch Sunday’s classic Duke-UConn Elite Eight NCAA Tournament matchup were treated to an immigration lecture from legendary NBA player and broadcaster Charles Barkley. And they were not happy.
As Fox News reported, CBS shared a legal immigration story concerning UConn star forward Alex Karaban during the pregame. They talked about how his mother arrived in Massachusetts from Ukraine with her parents and grandparents in 1996.
Meanwhile, Karaban’s father, Alexei, immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus on a work visa in 2001. One year later, Alex was born in Southborough.
Despite the story’s non-political nature, Sir Charles used the moment to launch an ill-informed attack on President Trump’s immigration policies, calling the treatment of immigrants in America “a travesty and disgrace.”
In the process, he not only failed to provide a single example of immigrants being abused, but also made no distinction between illegal and legal migrants.
Barkley then closed by saying that immigrants built America and said everyone should respect them. Once again, he failed to distinguish between legal and illegal aliens.
WATCH:
“The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace… I think what’s going on in our country, what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad.” – Charles Barkley on CBS pic.twitter.com/uEllZpD57u

BARKLEY: I want to be careful with my words right now because this is a really touchy subject for me. I love that kid and his family, but the way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace.
I think there’s a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants. I think what’s going on in our country, what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate, and it’s really sad.
And that’s a great immigrant story. We have a lot of great immigrant stories out there that their stories need to be told, but some of the stuff that’s happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate, and it’s really unfair.
But immigrants built this country, and we should admire them and respect them.
Unlike UConn’s miraculous game-winning three with 0.4 seconds left following a Duke turnover, this take from Barkley proved a complete airball with Americans.
Charles Barkley: “There’s a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants.”
No, Chuck.
The real difference is between LEGAL immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants.

I can appreciate Charles Barkley’s heart, but this is inappropriate and unprofessional.
He made the segment overtly political when it didn’t need to be.
Wanna share your thoughts about illegal immigration and ICE? Do it elsewhere.
Keep March Madness coverage apolitical.

Charles Barkley is too dumb to know the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant.

Charles Barkley: this is MARCH MADNESS. We don’t want to hear your unintelligent, indecipherable takes on politics. You’ve always been great with entertaining us (regarding basketball—even when you’ve not done your homework) but you’re bollocks when it comes to politics. STHU.

GTFO Chuck, stop the moral grandstanding. When Obama was being called the “Deporter in Chief” none of these people said a fucking word. They didn’t give one single fuck about the illegals. Now they just parrot all of these bullshit claims that all illegals are somehow being…

JUST IN: Judge Extends Restraining Order Against James O’Keefe, Asks Him to Surrender All Firearms


On Wednesday, a judge extended a restraining order against James O’Keefe until May 11 and asked him to surrender his firearms.
James was served with a restraining order while he was livestreaming at his West Palm Beach, Florida, headquarters on Tuesday.
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Deputy served James with a domestic violence restraining order.
The domestic violence restraining order was from Matthew Tyrmand, a former Project Veritas board member.
“Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department just served me with a domestic violence restraining order from Matthew Tyrmand. The former board member from Project Veritas who said he wants to murder me,” James O’Keefe said.
“Despite admitting multiple times on hidden camera wanting me dead, Matthew Tyrmand filed a restraining order against ME in Miami Dade County,” O’Keefe said.
“Saying such things as: “I would kill him [O’Keefe]. Because he is one of the most evil people I’ve ever known.,”” he said.
“He even shot up my book with rifle bullets through my heart on the cover. The audacity of evil has no bounds,” O’Keefe said.

Last month James O’Keefe honey-trapped Matthew Tyrmand at a restaurant.
During the encounter in Miami Beach that was recorded by camera, Tyrmand ‘admitted’ to being an FBI-Southern District of New York (SDNY) informant.

So Tyrmand responded by slapping James with a restraining order.
James O’Keefe appeared before a judge in a Miami court on Wednesday morning.
The judge extended the restraining order and ordered James to surrender his firearms.
James said he will be filing an emergency appeal.
Full statement from James O’Keefe:
Just got out of court in Miami. The Judge extended the temporary restraining order until May 11th. There will be a ruling then.
The court is now asking me to surrender my firearms. See documents below.
We are filing an emergency interlocutory appeal today.
Prior restraint against a newsroom is unconstitutional. Near v Minnesota. NYT v United States. This is a violation of our 1st and 2nd amendment rights. We are filing an anti-SLAAP, seeking attorneys fees and will appeal all the way, if necessary.
The TRO is also based upon third party’s comments, not our reporting. Thats a “hecklers veto,” where the government suppresses or restricts news reporting because of the reaction of an audience.
This is regarding our reporting on Matt Tyrmand. We published a tape of him threatening to kill me. He shot up an image of me on the front of my book with a rifle bullet through my heart. He bragged about being a SDNY informant.
Comments were angry at him. He just brought a “domestic violence stalking” Restraining order afterwards in Miami family court against my news organization, and the local Judge signed off. This is an extraordinary series of events. This is not an April Fools joke.
UPDATE: Just got out of court in Miami. The Judge extended the temporary restraining order until May 11th. There will be a ruling then.
The court is now asking me to surrender my firearms. See documents below.

Yet Another Illegal Alien Charged with Murder in Sanctuary Democrat Run Fairfax County, Virginia; Three Month Old Daughter Died From Blunt Force Trauma by Father: Police

An alleged illegal alien from Guatemala has been charged with the murder of his three-month-old daughter last Friday in the Democrat run sanctuary for illegals Fairfax County, Virginia.

This is the third illegal alien charged with murder in Fairfax County in recent weeks. An illegal alien from Sierra Leone with a lengthy criminal record was charged in the stabbing death of Stephanie Minter at a bus stop in late February. An illegal alien also from Guatemala was charged in another stabbing murder last weekend.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin posted, ” I’m told by two ICE sources that the “Virginia father” charged w/ murdering his 3-month-old infant daughter in Fairfax County, VA is a Guatemalan illegal alien who entered the U.S. as a gotaway. He is now charged w/ murder & ICE filed detainer.”

Fairfax County police statement:
Father Charged with Murder in Death of 3-Month-Old Daughter
Detectives from our Homicide Squad and Child Abuse Squad have charged a 28-year-old man in connection with the death of his 3-month-old daughter in Bailey’s Crossroads.
On March 27, shortly after 7:30 p.m., officers responded to the 3400 block of Lake Street in Bailey’s Crossroads for the report of an unresponsive infant. Upon arrival, officers determined the infant was not breathing and immediately began CPR until Fire and Rescue personnel arrived and continued life-saving efforts. The infant was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.
At the time of the incident, the infant was in the care of her father, Misael Lopez Gomez, 28, of Bailey’s Crossroads. During the investigation, detectives and hospital staff observed evidence consistent with abuse.
Preliminarily, results from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma.
Today, Lopez Gomez was arrested and charged with Second Degree Murder and Felony Child Abuse. He is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on no bond.
Both murders by the alleged illegal alien Guatemalan men took place in the Bailey’s Crossroads section of Fairfax County (near the city of Falls Church) which has long been a haven for illegal aliens. The Minter murder took place in the Hybla Valley section (just south of the city of Alexandria) which is also home to large numbers of illegal aliens.
The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for April 15 on Fairfax County’s deadly sanctuary policies (WJLA-TV excerpt)
Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid were invited to testify at a hearing next month before the House Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.
The hearing, titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies,” is set for April 15.
The following invitation was sent to Kincaid and Descano:
“The hearing will examine how state and local policies that prohibit cooperation with federal immigration authorities hurt public safety. Your testimony will assist the Committee and Subcommittee in developing legislative reforms to address sanctuary jurisdictions.“
The committee members previously sent letters to Descano and Kincaid. The hearing was scheduled after the murder of Stephanie Minter in Fairfax County.
The U.S. Department of Education is also investigating Fairfax County after an 18-year-old illegal alien high school junior, Israel Flores Ortiz from El Salvador, was charged with serially groping girls between their legs in school.
ED is opening yet another investigation in Fairfax County following reports from 12 high school girls who have credibly accused one male student – an illegal immigrant – of sexual assault. This is the latest in a long list of investigations into Northern VA school divisions:
FIVE Northern VA school divisions allowed students to access bathrooms and intimate facilities based on subjective ‘gender identity.’ Female students say they witnessed male students inappropriately touch other students and watch female students change in a female locker room. Many female students in the Divisions have reported that they avoid using the restroom at school because the policies make them feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
And, just last week, convicted sex offender Richard Cox – a man charged with possessing child pornography and exposing and touching himself in girl’s locker rooms in multiple VA high schools – had his trial paused. Arlington Public Schools and Arlington County allow the use of intimate facilities based on ‘gender identity.’ Cox now wants the charges dismissed, claiming that the women testifying against him just “don’t find my body beautiful.”
Virginia’s experiment with radical gender ideology, race-based admissions systems, far-Left indoctrination, and unlawful discrimination has inflicted immeasurable harm on our students. It must stop.
