“IT’S NOT ILLEGAL TO BE HISPANIC!” — TYRUS IN FIERY CLASH With Democrat Over “Racist” Immigration Sweeps, Defends ICE As “Last Line Of De.fe.nse” In Gutfeld! Meltdown.

GUTFELD!’S BORDER WAR: Tyrus and CA Assemblywoman Trade “Racist” vs. “Lawless” Accusations In Nuclear Argument Over “Un-American” LA Protests

The debate over immigration enforcement exploded on the Gutfeld! set tonight in a vicious showdown between Tyrus and California State Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, with the Fox News contributor defending targeted sweeps as necessary for security while the Democratic lawmaker condemned them as unconstitutional, racist acts that have terrorized her community.

The segment began with host Greg Gutfeld setting the stage with his signature sarcasm. “So L.A. is melting down because ICE finally decided to do the job the city refuses to do. They’re arresting people who are in the country illegally. The horror. Assemblywoman, why is following the law now considered racism?”

ASSEMBLYWOMAN CARRILLO: (Visibly furious) “Greg, that is a disgusting and dishonest framing! These are not ‘targeted sweeps’; they are racial profiling, plain and simple. Officers are stopping people based on the color of their skin and asking for papers. This is not what America stands for. It is a violation of human rights and it is terrorizing entire communities, making people afraid to go to work, to school, to the grocery store!”

TYRUS: (Shakes his head, voice a low, dismissive rumble) “Terrorizing? No. What’s terrorizing is having people in your country who broke the law to get here. What’s terrorizing is a border so open that criminals, drugs, and who knows what else floods in. ICE isn’t terrorizing anyone. They’re doing their job because you, in your sanctuary cities, refuse to do yours.”

THE WAR OF WORDS ERUPTS:

CARRILLO: “Their job is not to profile U.S. citizens! Their job is not to tear families apart because they look like they might be undocumented! This is not about law and order; this is about cruelty and xenophobia!”
TYRUS: “Xenophobia? It’s not xenophobic to want a secure border! How else are they supposed to find people who are here illegally? Send out engraved invitations? You’re telling me if someone is here illegally, speaks no English, and is picked up near a known drop house, that’s ‘racist’? That’s called a clue! It’s not illegal to be Hispanic, but it is illegal to be in this country without permission!”

THE PERSONAL ACCUSATION:

CARRILLO: “You are sitting in that chair, safe and secure, dismissing the lived experience of millions of people! You have no idea what it’s like!”
TYRUS: (Leaning forward, pointing) “And you’re sitting in that chair defending people who broke our laws, while American citizens are dying from fentanyl and struggling to make ends meet! You care more about people who aren’t supposed to be here than the citizens you swore an oath to represent! That’s the betrayal!”

GUTFELD’S VERDICT:

Greg Gutfeld jumped in, a wide grin on his face. “And there it is! The unbreakable logic! The left’s argument always boils down to ‘you’re a mean, racist bully for wanting laws to be enforced.’ Meanwhile, their policy is just… feel-good nonsense that gets people killed. Tyrus, you’ve done it again. You’ve stated the obvious that makes liberals’ heads explode.”

The segment ended with Assemblywoman Carrillo throwing her hands up in frustration, declaring the conversation “pointless,” while Tyrus sat back, arms crossed, a picture of defiant triumph. The clash offered no solutions, only a stark, angry display of the two irreconcilable Americas living within the same country.
