Where can i find M.I.A's Dallas rant about "illegals"?

So I've been trying to find her full rant but i only find clips of what's worse, is there's always someone talking over the video.
I wanna know exactly what she said to see if it was taken out of context. On one clip she says she's an "illegal" and she apparently is an asylum seeker, so there's the chance that she did the "Hollywood" thing of trying to make some political statement, but being too dumb to express it correctly, then getting cancelled for it...
...but on the other hand apparently she is a Republican which is wild bc Epstein's protector just removed asylum status to a ton of asylum seekers.
So the rant might have been an anti-immigrant rant.
I just wanna give her the benefit of the doubt and see the full rant. My guess is that in both scenarios she was too dumb to understand the situation entirely.

I’m not super familiar with her on anything beyond having heard a few of her songs, but I very much got the sense that she misjudged Dallas and thought that her statements were going to be rampantly popular, then tried to walk it back when the crowd didn’t give her the energy she was expecting; trying to paint that as some of her tour staff was not eligible for work visas she was “an illegal” for sympathy and then when that didn’t work pivoting to complaining about how things are political. It just all feels sort of pathetic.

There is no doubt.
She walked on stage and got booed. Then she threw a tantrum about her being booed for being a republican (no, she was being booed because she's a shitty human being), and insulted the audience by saying some of them must have scammed their way in to the concert the same way they scammed into the country. She made a comment about "illegals" and ths response was apt.

To me she seems like that co worker that seems cool, but them once you talk to them in the break room, they have the dumbest takes on every political subject

That's most celebrities. We give platforms to a lot of undeserving people.

Thanks, that definitely adds missing context

Read Kid Kudi's statement on the matter. She was talked to about this BEFORE tour. They knew this was not only possible but probable.

She's like that racist uncle that you're afraid is gonna say something wild during Thanksgiving dinner 😂
