BUT THEY ABSOLUTELY DO THIS.
THIS IS NOT NEW.
REPORTER: A LOT OF PUSHBACK FROM
DEMOCRAT CRITICS.
SHE SAYS IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
DAVID WEBB IS A FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR.
GILLIAN MELCHOIR.
LET ME START WITH YOU, ROBERT.
THE LAST QUESTION, THE IDEA THAT
THIS IS BRAND-NEW, THE IDEA THIS
HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE.
WE KNOW THIS MUSHROOMED IN THE
PUBLIC WITH PHOTOGRAPHS OF KID
IN CAGES THAT IRONICALLY TURNED
OUT TO BE FROM THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS GOING?
>> SIX WEEKS AGO WE STARTED A
ZERO TOLERANCE PROGRAM.
2,000 KID HAVE BEEN SEPARATED.
YOU HAVE SESSIONS SAYING IT'S
BECAUSE OF THE BIBLE.
YOU HAVE HONESTLY THE SECRETARY
WAS TOTALLY DISUP GENEOUS.
THIS IS CRUEL AND --
DISINGENUOUS BEHAVIOR.
THIS FEELS LIKE JAPANESE
INTERMENT CENTERS.
THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED
IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS HOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS
ENFORCING.
THERE IS NO RULE TO SEPARATE
CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY.
THERE IS NO RULE.
CHARLES: THE JAPANESE INTERMENT
CAMPS WERE AMERICANS WHO WERE
THOUGHT TO BE A DANGER DURING
THE WAR.
>> I'M MAKING THE COMPARISON HOW
WE ARE TREATING PEOPLE AND WE
ARE BETTER THAN THAT.
>> HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
THE DEMOCRATS PLAYED THIS GOING
INTO FATHER'S DAY.
THEY WANTED TO SELL EMOTION.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT'S
FATHER'S DAY, MOTHER'S DAY OR
CHRISTMAS.
THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO
BE SOLVED.
IN 2015 THEY CRITICIZED
PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR THAT
PROGRAM.
AND THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS IF
YOU ARE UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN THAT
IS A PERSON THAT BELONGS TO THAT
PARENT OR IF IT'S SOMEONE WHO
ACTUALLY IS CARRYING A CHILD
THAT'S NOT THEIR OWN.
THERE IS A PERIOD.
AFTER THREE DAYS THEY ARE
REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED AND THAT
20-DAY PERIOD COMES INTO PLAY.
IF YOU ARE AN ASYLUM SEEKER YOU
ARE NOT CROSSING THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY.
WE HAVE TO TO STOP WITH THIS
IDEA THEY ARE UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS.
IT'S THE SPECTRE OF LAWFUL EVEN
ENTRY.
CHARLES: WE UNDERSTAND THE LAWS
AND THE TERMS.
BUT I DON'T KNOW THE GENERAL
PUBLIC IS SEEING IT THAT WAY.
IT'S POLLING UNFAVORABLY.
SENATOR TED CRUZ INTRODUCING
EMERGENCY IMMIGRATION TO KEEP I
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
TOGETHER.
HE SAYS ALL AMERICANS ARE
RIGHTLY HORRIFIED BY THE IMAGES
WE ARE SEEING ON THE NEWS.
CHILDREN IN TEARS PULLED AWAY
FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS.
THIS MUST STOP NOW.
WE CAN END THIS CRISIS BYPASSING
THE LEGISLATION I'M INTRODUCING
THIS WEEK.
EVERYONE AGREES THE IMAGE IS
UGLY AND HORRIFIC.
BUT SENATOR CRUZ IS SAYING,
LET'S FIGURE IT.
IF YOU LET THESE FAMILIES STAY
TOGETHER.
THERE IS STILL THE ISSUE.
IF YOU BRING THEM IN AND PUT
THEM TOGETHER IN HOUSING.
>> THE IMAGES ARE EMOTIONAL.
AND THE IMAGES ARE HORRIFIC.
I THINK IT COMES FROM A FLAWED
LAW.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS EVEN
THOUGH 66% OF THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC IS HORRIFIED BY WHAT THEY
ARE SEEING.
BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
BEAR SOME BLAME.
REPUBLIC CABS WANT TO COME
ACROSS AS STRONG ON ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
I THINK YOU HAVE SEEN THEM
DEMAGOGUE THIS ISSUE AND USE IT
AS AN EXCUSE
DEMAGOGUE THIS ISSUE AND USE IT AS AN EXCUSE NOT TO FIND.
>> HERE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
WE ARE NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM
AND GETTING PARSE SOLUTIONS.
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THE BORDER
SECURITY ISSUE.
IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE COUNTRY
THE ISSUE IS LESSENED.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO SENATOR
CRUZ.
WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM, HOW DO
YOU HOUSE THEM.
WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM?
>> THERE IS A VALID HUMAN COST
THERE.
CHARLES: ACCORDING TO HIS BILL
THE PARENT-KID PROTECTION ACT.
THEY WILL DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF
IMMIGRATION JAWDGES AND
AUTHORIZE NEW SHELTERS TO
ACCOMMODATE THE FAMILIES AND
MANDATE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
FAMILIES MUST BE KEPT TOGETHER
ABSENT AGGRIEVED CRIMINAL
CONDITIONS AND THREATS OF HARM.
ALSO RESPOND TO WHAT JILL
JANUARY SAID IN TERMS OF THIS IS
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DEMOCRATS
ALSO TO ADDRESS THIS.
FROM A LEGISLATIVE POINT OF
VIEW, NOT FROM WHO GETS THE
HIGHEST P.R. MARKS.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO CUT A DEAL
WITH DACA.
>> WE ARE NOT SOLVING
IMMIGRATION OVERNIGHT.
THIS IS NOT A HOLISTIC
IMMIGRATION SOLUTION WE CAN
SOLVE.
THIS IS A SOLO ISSUE.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN.
IT'S AMERICAN AND YOU ARE JUST
WRONG.
THIS IS WHERE LAURA BUSH COMES
TOGETHER WITH MELANIA TRUMP AND
MICHELLE OBAMA AND TED CRUZ AND
BILL O'REILLY.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS.
I AGREE WITH TED CRUZ.
WE HAVE TO KEEP THE FAMILIES
TOGETHER.
THOSE WHO ARE COMING IN A
CRIMINAL PERSPECTIVE.
CHARLES: NOT A SOLUTION TO THE
IMAGE OF FAMILIES BEING
SEPARATED.
>> BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID
IT MADE SENSE THAT WE SHOULD ADD
TO OUR CAPABILITY OF HOUSING.
CHARLES: DO YOU THINK THE
DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE OPEN TO MORE
BORDER TURNING, MORE WALL
FUNDING.
LET'S GET THIS DONE ONCE AND FOR
ALL.
>> I'M FOR BORDER SECURITY.
I'M FOR DACA BEING CHANGED.
WE ARE NOT GETTING THAT DONE
OVERNIGHT.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SERIOUS
THING ON OUR HAND.
>> IT HASN'T BEEN VOTED ON FOR A
LONG TIME.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
BOTHERS ME ABOUT THIS NOW.
CHARLES: THEY ARE TELLING ME TO
WRAP.
>> WIDE TALK, BROAD TALK DOESN'T
ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
EVEN IN TES CRUZ'S JOB.
750 JUDGES, IT TAKES TIME TO
TRAIN.
YOU HAVE GOT TO PUT A SYSTEM IN
PLACE, MEDICAL CARE IN PLACE.
ALL THIS HAPPY TALK ABOUT LET'S
SOLVE THE OPTICS OF IT DOESN'T
WORK.
WE HAVE GOT TO CLOSE THE BORDER.
2,000 KIDS CAME FROM SOMEWHERE
BECAUSE OF A SURGE BEING
PROMOTED BY THE OPEN BORDERS
GROUPS OUT THERE.
>> I THINK WE HAVE GOT TO TAKE
SOME ROLE IN STABILIZING THE
ECONOMIES.
IF YOU LOOK AT SOUGHT OF THE
TRADE THINGS, THAT'S HURTING
THEM.
CHARLES: I DISAGREE WITH THAT
1,000 PERCENT.
>> CHAVEZ DIDN'T COME FROM
CENTRAL AMERICA.
