Right-wing talk radio host Chris Salcedo claimed on Fox & Friends that Democrats must lean on votes from “illegal aliens” now because they’re pro-choice policies have stopped the population of the black community from growing.

“A lot of people in the black community are recognizing that the Democrat party is throwing them overboard for illegal aliens,” Salcedo on Fox & Friends. “The Democrat party has been so good at promoting abortion inside of the back community — has been so good about curtailing the population of the black community it’s no longer a growing demographic in this country as compared to the rest of the country.”

He continued: “So the Democrats see their future of importing illegal aliens from all over the world into this country and those in the black community here in the United States are witnessing the Democrat party chucking them overboard and then have you got Donald Trump coming in with a prosperity message basically saying hey, look, what have you got to lose?”

Co-host Brian Kilmeade responded to Salcedo’s absurdly unfounded claims by saying Trump is “the first Republican president to give a true effort” on winning over black voters.

“That happened yesterday with prison reform, because there is an inordinate number of African-Americans in prison,” Kilmeade said. “Even Van Jones and other people have responded and say, ‘Wow, I really like the plan.’ It might have bipartisan support.”

Salcedo went on to say that conservatives can win over minorities by simply “talking directly to the folks” and “bringing the prosperity message that the Republican Party has been so timid and shy at bringing into these communities.”
