Tucker Carlson has been flirting with white nationalist rhetoric over the past few months. Case in point, thursday night, he and guest Mark Steyn — a Canadian-born immigrant and conservative commentator — lamented openly that the number of Hispanic and Latino people in Arizona are making the state less American.

"In Arizona, a majority of the grade school children now are Hispanic," Steyn said. "That means Arizona's future is as an Hispanic society. That means, in effect, the border has moved north, and the cultural transformation outweighs any economic benefits." Just to emphasize the point there, Steyn has just implied that being Hispanic, regardless of place of birth, disqualifies you as an American.

As well, Steyn launched into a angled defense of white supremacists with Carlson nodding in agreement. "Chris Cuomo went on to say that the real problem is white supremacists in America, they are the real monsters, not these nice, hard-working illegal immigrants," Steyn said. "And that may be well and true."

Fine, but Steyn offered a very odd, offensive "although" to the above. "I mean, for the purposes of argument, let's just say he's right, he added. "It's irrelevant. The white supremacists are American citizens. The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn't be here. And every — the organizing principle of nation states is that they organize on behalf of their citizens, whether their citizens are cheerleaders, or white supremacists, or whatever. You're stuck with them."

So, yes — Steyn's logic goes — white supremacists may not be perfect, but at least they're Americans, and thus better than illegal immigrants
