Coulter wants the United States to follow Israel’s lead on border control. Coulter: 'We're being invaded'

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter wants the United States to follow Israel’s lead and take a tougher stance on border control, saying, “We need a Netanyahu here.”

“We are being invaded, and I just wish people would talk about our border…the way we talk about Israel’s border,” Coulter said Thursday on Fox News’ “Hannity.”


“I’ll tell you how America would react to what’s happening in Israel right now,” Coulter added. “More than 100 tunnels have been found on our border to smuggle in weapons, guns, they’re invading, they’re murdering, they’re raping.”

She added, “We are a country, we have borders, and Netanyahu enforces them. Why can’t we do that in America?”

Tensions have been escalating between Israel and Palestine since early July, resulting in missile fire from both sides over a 25 day period. According to the Associated Press, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu works to destroy Hamas’ underground tunnels, the Palestinian death toll has risen to over 1,400 people. Back in the United States, unaccompanied minors are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border by the tens of thousands thousands.

Coulter appeared on “Fox and Friends” on Friday to discuss the border the morning after House Republicans pulled legislation.

House Republicans have delayed their August recess to work on the legislation, but according to Coulter the GOP should wait to solve this “fake emergency” until Congress reconvenes.

“We want nothing passed because this is on the border, this alleged emergency, and it’s a fake emergency,” Coulter said. “What is happening is Obama is violating the law as written, none of these kids should be getting in.”
