If you thought it couldn’t get any lower. But it already has:
During the discussion, guest host Chris McDonald attacked CNN’s Jim Acosta for confronting White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the administration’s policy, insisting that the practice of breaking up families “is not America’s fault, it’s [the immigrant’s] fault …If you are here illegally, guess what? You’re family is at risk of being broken up because that is what happens in a law-abiding society.”
Valentine agreed, saying that she spoke with a high-level border patrol agent recently who allegedly told her that the people who are crossing the border illegally are the dregs of society.
“Rape after rape after rape,” Valentine said. “Children below 10 years old engaging in sexual activity. All kinds of sin and disgrace and darkness; the pit of the pits. So we’re not getting the top-of-the-line echelon people coming over this border, we’re getting criminals. I mean, total criminals that are so debased and their minds are just gone. They’re unclean, they’re murderers, they’re treacherous, they’re God-haters.”

She’s echoing Trump’s words directly. Trump used the framing “thy’re not sending the best, they’re sending...”. That’s what Valentine is copying here.
Along with “infest” this attempt to dehumanize children. 10 year old children, is exactly out of the playbook of the KKK, Nazis and other fascist, sectarian organizations. If this sort of rhetoric takes hold in a society, there are numerous examples of it being used to justify ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Along with peddling her hateful take on “christianity”, this woman has a “beauty” products line that she sells on Amazon and eBay (also on QVC in the past).
While we’re talking about Trump’s immigration policies:
