State lawmaker clip opposes amnesty, says Democrats opened borders to boost representation

A clip aired on the Illinois Channel featured a state representative from Ohio who said, "We should not have a amnesty bill" and called people who entered the country illegally "criminal illegal alien[s]." The clip's speaker also alleged Democrats deliberately opened borders to increase population counts for congressional apportionment in blue states.

The program's hosts used the clip to underline partisan arguments about immigration policy and reapportionment, and to contrast the clip's hard-line position with the victim testimony and Representative Gill's reactions earlier in the broadcast. The clip presented sweeping assertions about motive and policy that the hosts did not corroborate with independent evidence in the segment.
