When you think CNN’s Abby Phillip couldn’t get any worse, she comes up with a real doozy. On Tuesday’s CNN NewsNight, she went to bat for illegal aliens. No surprise there. But then she declared to The Federalist's Brianna Lyman that there’s no difference in an American being murdered by a fellow citizen or an illegal alien. Of course there is. We can prevent Americans from being murdered by illegal aliens by protecting our nation’s border and carrying out deportations. This is apparently news to Phillip.
Here’s more. (READ)
Abby Phillip actually attempts to make the case that there is zero distinction between an American murdered by an illegal alien vs being murdered by another American.
Lyman rightly points out that the former case is wholly preventable.
Phillip: "It's preventable when it's done by anyone."
Incredible levels of disingenuous hackery here, even for Phillip.
It’s truly amazing watching ‘journalists’ like Phillip act like the murder of Americans by illegal aliens is just part of life in the USA that we can’t stop from happening. This is insanity. (WATCH)

It’s insulting to people with brains that CNN thinks she is credible and intelligent.

Abby gets the gold medal in mental gymnastics every time

We think she sprained her brain pulling off that mendacious mental maneuver.
Posters see how Phillip could reach such a dishonest and illogical conclusion.
it probably is exhausting having to go through all those mental gymnastics to somehow justify a cold-blooded murder that could have been prevented by simply enforcing the law. I'm sure it's much easier for them to just say F Trump and ICE is gestapo and call it a day.

"people who have done nothing wrong". Other than enter our country illegally and break multiple laws.

Phillip, like other Democrats, doesn’t count entering our country illegally as a crime.
Commenters point out the simple reality that an illegal alien removed from our nation or barred from entering it in the first place can’t murder Americans on our soil.
Any crime committed by an illegal ( murder, rape, etc.) would never have occurred if we had a strong immigration system and did not allow illegals to walk across the border… The case of, well US citizens commit murder too so why not let illegals in… is preposterous

"We have our own criminals so we should import a million more" is just not a convincing argument to me, but they can't seem to stop themselves from making it.

“We already have murderers in this country. Whats the difference if we have a few more” is retarded.

I’ve never heard anybody reply to the “ Americans kill Americans too” argument by just saying “Oh I guess we should just add to it then?” It makes no sense to add to the US homicide rate. Who can argue with that?

Criminals who are in their own countries do not kill people in our country.

It’s so simple. But to accept this would mean that ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats would have to support a closed border and the deportation of illegal aliens. They’d apparently rather Americans die at the hands of illegal aliens than do that.
