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: African Charity Sentebale Sues Estranged Founder Prince Harry for Libel

Harry and Sentebale’s chairwoman Sophie Chandauka: lawsuit
An African headache for the self-exiled British Royal.
Twenty years ago, British Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded a Charity in Africa called Sentebale.
For Harry, it was reportedly a way to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, and help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.
Harry and Chandauka in happier times
In early 2025, Harry quit his role as a patron for the charity, following high-profile mudslinging in the press, in which he was accused of ‘bullying and harassing’ Sentebale’s chair of the board, Sophie Chandauka.
Now, it arises that Sentebale is suing Harry for libel at the High Court in London.

Reuters reported:
“According to a record made public on Friday, Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and one of his close friends Mark Dyer, who was also a trustee of the charity.
There were no details as to what the lawsuit involved. Neither Harry’s spokesperson nor the charity immediately responded to a request for comment.”
UK’s Charity Commission investigated Sentebale
Chandauka reported Harry and the trustees to Britain’s charity regulator ‘for alleged bullying and harassment’.
“After a review, the Charity Commission reported it had found no evidence of bullying, but said there had been weak governance and criticized all parties for allowing an internal dispute to become public.”

MUST WATCH: Senate Republicans Move to Lock in Full ICE and CBP Funding for Trump’s Entire Term by Bypassing Democrats Entirely


Senate Republicans are advancing a plan to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term through budget reconciliation, a move that would require only a simple majority of 50 Republican votes plus Vice President JD Vance.
This means funding for the agencies will become immune to Democrat filibusters or shutdown threats.
The announcement came Thursday from Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, who confirmed he and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham will meet with President Trump at the White House on Friday to finalize the framework.
Barrasso told Fox News, “I’ll be at the White House with Lindsey Graham…we’re going to be talking with the president specifically about funding ICE, Immigration Custom Enforcement, funding the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol, and doing it not just for this year, but through the entire time that President Trump is still in the White House, and doing it with Republican votes alone.”

The plan uses the budget reconciliation process, which allows certain fiscal measures to pass with 51 votes in the Senate (or 50 plus the vice president) and bypass the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Republicans aim to narrowly target funding for immigration enforcement agencies, as there are ongoing disputes over the broader Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package.
The move follows weeks of deadlock over DHS appropriations from Democrats.
A partial DHS shutdown has dragged on for nearly two months, with Democrats refusing to support full funding for ICE and CBP without concessions on immigration policy.

Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked Democrat attempts to fund most of DHS while excluding or limiting enforcement operations.
Barrasso emphasized that Democrats “aren’t interested in funding national security,” forcing Republicans to “go it alone” through reconciliation.
The plan would secure long-term funding for deportations, border security, and interior enforcement, which are all priorities of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.
Barrasso did not specify a timeline for a floor vote, but GOP leaders will likely move quickly after the White House meeting.
The Gateway Pundit will continue tracking developments from the Senate Budget Committee and the White House.
