Former ESPN Radio host Dan Le Batard has long been critical of President Donald Trump and his immigration policy – his parents came to the United States from Cuba.
During his show on Wednesday, Le Batard spoke again against the policies while mentioning the protests in Los Angeles, claiming Trump wants to make the United States a “whiter nation.”
“Of course, everyone can agree, yes, illegal criminals in this country, yes, get them out of here. But wait a moment,” “Dan Le Batard show with Stugotz.” “Who gets to decide what is illegal and criminal when you just want to violate the Supreme Court and Democracy and the Constitution and everything else in the name of, now you have an armed militia that says every protest is dangerous. Even the peaceful. And you can hit it that way because the people are brown.”

Le Batard added that it “feels like state militia (ice) rubber rolling on just basic American freedoms.”
Jeremy Tache added, “This is a use of the military against our own people. If this happened in another country, we would look at it as one of the most awful things that could possibly happen.”

“It is exactly what it is like you are bypassing what feels like American democracy to make sure the others never unite as a trade union. You can always make them the others and you will always have white people on your side …” Le Batard continued. “Trying to make this country whiter in a way that is obvious, it is political, it is hateful, and allows you to keep the right to do everyone but you criminals based on whatever you do the laws, including just being brown, not having a license or being a criminal because you are ‘like all the other dirty Mexican rapes we may build a wall.’

“We can hide during the semantic argument for, of course, of course, illegal people who are here committing crimes should not be here,” added the former ESPN host. “But that doesn’t mean you have to make all brown people and black people into it.”
Los Angeles Law enforcement has made dozens of arrests in the wake of days of protests and riots.
