Fox News host Laura Ingraham fearmongered as she claimed the tax cuts introduced by President Donald Trumpā€™s administration will be ā€œbled awayā€ by the ā€œhuge demographic shiftā€ caused by illegal immigration.

Ingraham lashed out at Republicans for not passing legislation to deter undocumented immigrants from coming to the U.S. when they controlled both houses of Congress in an episode of ā€œThe Laura Ingraham Show Podcastā€ released last week.

ā€œBecause they couldā€™ve done this and they didnā€™t do it and they decided not to do it. And they were doing other things, and the tax cut and all that,ā€ said Ingraham.

ā€œBut tax cutā€™s value is going to be bled away if we lose the country because of this huge demographic shift and bleed the country with all of these expenses we have now,ā€ she added. ā€œSo, itā€™s a massive problem.ā€

Check out the audio, that Media Matters surfaced on Monday, here:

Itā€™s an echo of the racist rhetoric that Ingraham repeated in August 2018 when she claimed, on her widely watched prime-time Fox News show ā€œThe Ingraham Angle,ā€ that ā€œthe America we know and love doesnā€™t exist anymore.ā€

Itā€™s just one of the multiple white nationalist talking points that Ingraham has hawked to her millions of viewers and listeners in recent years.

ā€œMassive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us donā€™t like,ā€ she added last year, relating it ā€œto both illegal and legal immigration.ā€

At the time, Ingrahamā€™s comments sparked outrage and a backlash among advertisers. Her latest claim is being equally criticized on Twitter:
