Greg Gutfeld proposes 'Adopt-a-Gang-Banger' solution for Democrats who don't want to deport gang members

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld suggested Monday that Democratic politicians who don't want to remove illegal immigrant gang members from the country should enroll in a program to adopt them into their own homes instead.

Gutfeld pitched the mock charity, which he called, "Adopt-a-Gang-Banger," in response to a call from Democratic politicians, including progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), to end the process of prioritizing the deportation of gang members.

In a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tae Johnson, Ocasio-Cortez along with 34 of her Democratic colleagues denounced immigration enforcement practices that rely on a "discriminatory criminal legal system."

Citing the nation's ongoing "racial reckoning," the lawmakers called for an end to the inhuman and unjust "carceral approach" to immigration — which effectively results in the imprisonment or deportation of criminal illegal aliens.

Failing to suggest any concrete alternative solution to the problem, the lawmakers merely urged the Biden administration to "pursue humane and just immigration policies" and "welcome those seeking humanitarian relief."

Gutfeld, on the other hand, had a couple substantive ideas to offer.

"So I have two solutions," he said. "If you are a Democrat and feel strongly about not deporting gang members, I have an Adopt-a-Gang-Banger charity. For just 350 bucks a month you can adopt a gang banger, OK? Each week you are going to get a photo and a handwritten letter from the gang banger telling you who he has assaulted and raped and murdered, and in three months he could be yours to live at your house."

Moving on to his second idea, which he called the "Idiot Thug Exchange Program," Gutfeld proposed allowing criminal gang members to stay in the country if two leftist academics or politicos could be deported in their place.

"It works like this," he said. "We will keep one of your thugs as long as they are under 25, because there is a possibility of rehabilitation, [and] in return you get two far-left media academics who are over 25 because they aren't — there is no ability to rehab them because the ideas are so poisoned in their brain."

"I will take a gang banger over a gender studies professor in a heartbeat," he concluded.
