Talk show host Megyn Kelly recently expressed her anger over an incident in which a group of illegal immigrants attacked police in New York City's Times Square.
“Go home! They come to America, they commit crimes, they beat up the cops. They get a free pass to get out of prison, and then they're a double take for the rest of America,” Kelly said during her show on February 2, according to the New York Post. .
As she mimicked suspect Joan Boada's two-finger salute to the media, she said the message was: “This is me taking advantage of your stupid system!”

When illegal immigrants are arrested, they should be sent to their places, Kelly said.
“It could be Venezuela's problem. I don't care. Get them out of here!” She said.
Of the six illegal immigrants charged in the incident, five were released without bail.
The toll of illegal immigration in New York City continues. A 15-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela was arrested Friday in connection with Thursday's shooting of a tourist in Times Square, according to the New York Post.
A police officer was shot in this incident, but was not injured, according to the report.
New York Police Chief of Patrol John Chill had previously described Jesus Alejandro Rivas Figueroa as “armed and dangerous.”
Rivas Figueroa arrived in New York City in September and is a suspect in a Jan. 27 armed robbery in the Bronx, Chell said.
On Thursday night, Rivas was stopped by a security guard Figueroa on suspicion of shoplifting. Police said the teenager opened fire and wounded a Brazilian tourist. Two shots were fired at the police while the suspect and another 15-year-old man fled.
“He had no problem shooting into a crowd of people in a store…and he didn't shoot the cops once, he shot them twice,” Chell said.
“And I must tell you, [if] One of those bullets hit a cop last night, that's a whole different conversation we're having today. “Our police showed great restraint in not firing their weapons into a crowd of New Yorkers,” Chell said. “We will not tolerate this.”
New York Post columnist Bob McManus spoke to the sad state of the city when he linked the two murders in an op-ed in the New York Post.
“All seven suspects are MIA at this time — after Bragg’s socially sensitive assistant district attorneys denied a bail request for the four who were arrested,” he wrote, attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“Cause and effect are mysterious things, sure. But when people who beat up cops are walked across [exit] The door – and in the wind – as a matter of routine, why would a mere thief fear the consequences? he wrote,
Speaking of the Times Square shooting, he said: “Really, does it get any more out of control? More terrifying? More predictable?”
