CNN blurred legal and illegal immigrants. Pipko pushed back.

They tried to talk over her. Elizabeth Pipko wasn’t having it.

After the CNN panel blurred the line between legal and illegal immigrants for the third time, Pipko, the daughter of Soviet refugees, told them straight up: legal immigrants deserve to be treated BETTER than those who cut in line.

PIPKO: “I’m genuinely just surprised that we all think it’s okay to conflate immigrants and illegal immigrants. Genuinely baffled…”

PIPKO: “No, I have to get this out. I talked to my dad earlier today who told me that he got MORE PAPERWORK earlier today on the death of his father at the hands of the KGB, as he was trying to escape. The people who come to this country, who go through hell and back to respect our laws and do it the right way, deserve to be treated BETTER.”

FUN FACT: Drug overdose deaths are down 35% since Trump sealed the border and cut off the cartels’ fentanyl pipeline.

Funny how that never comes up on CNN.
