>>> I THINK WHAT’S HAPPENED TO EUROPE IS A SHAME.
I THINK THE IMMIGRATION ALLOWING
THE IMGRAGTS TO TAKE PLACE IN
EUROPE IS A SHAME.
I THINK IT CHANGED THE FABRIC OF
EUROPE.
EUROPE. AND UNLESS YOU ACT VERY QUICKLY,
IT’S NEVER GOING TO BE WHAT IT
IS.
IS. AND I DON’T MEAN IN THAT A
POSITIVE WAY.
POSITIVE WAY. I THINK ALLOWING MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO COME IN TO
EUROPE, IS VERY SAD.
I THINK YOU’RE LOSING YOUR
CULTURE.
CULTURE. >> THAT WAS PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP SPEAKING TO THE BRITISH
NEWSPAPER THE SUN, ABOUT
IMMIGRATION IN EUROPE THIS WEEK.
AND THOSE COMMENTS COME OOZE
THOSE REPORTS CONTINUE TO SHOW,
MIGRANT PARENTS STRUGGLING TO
REUNITE WITH THEIR CHILDREN HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES.
I’M JOINED BY DEMOCRATIC
REPRESENTATIVE DANGER BASS OF-I
THINK THIS IS A STORY THAT VERY
MUCH DESERVES OUR CONTINUED
FOCUS.
FOCUS. AND CONGRESSMAN YOU WERE JUST
DOWN ON THE ORDERER, WHAT DID
YOU SEE THERE, WHAT IS NOT UNDER
WAY, DID YOU SEE THE THINGS YOU
CAME TO LOOK FOR.
I VISITED THREE CENTERS WITH
SENATOR JILLGILLIBRAND OUT OF NE
YORK.
YORK. WE VENN CHURED TO BROWNSVILLE
AND THEN TO KEARN COUNTY, THERE
WERE LOTS OF PROBLEMS, YOU CAN
TELL THAT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WAS WOEFULLY
UNPREPARED TO DEAL WITH
SEPARATES SO MANY CHILDREN FROM
THEIR FAMILY.
THEIR FAMILY. AND I THINK THE MOST TROUBLING
THING THAT WE SAW, PARTICULARLY
AT THE DETENTION CENTER IN
MECHANICALcALLEN, THAT YOU HAD A
GIRL THAT WAS TWO YEARS OLD, AND
THEY WOULDN’T LET HERR NEAR HER
FATHER.
FATHER. AND ONE OF THE HHS FACILITIES
THAT WE VISITED IN BROWNSVILLE,
YOU HAVE EIGHT BOYS FOR EVERY
CASE WORKER THERE, WHEN WE WERE
THERE, THERE WERE 1,400 BOYS SS
THERE WERE THERE, THEY’RE ONLY
REUNITES 125 TO 150 A WEEK, AND
YOU JUST, WHEN YOU LEAVE, YOU
TELL YOURSELF THERE’S NO WAY
THEY’RE GOING TO MR. ABLE TO
UNIFY AL OF THOSE THIN WITH
THEIR FAMILY.
THEIR FAMILY. >> AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
ACTUALLY MISPLACED THE CHILDREN
WITH THEIR PARENTS.
WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THE PARENTS
AND CHILDREN ARE.
>> ONE OF THE THICKER THAT
WEWORK IS IMPROVING OUR FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM.
CARE SYSTEM. IT IS REALLY OUR GOVERNMENT
INFLICTING CHILD ABUSE.
THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD SEPARATE
PARENTS WITH CHILDREN, AND I’M
CONVINCED THAT OF THE 2,000
CHILDREN, I THINK FEW WILL BE
REUNITED.
REUNITED. WHEN A PARENT IS DEPARTED, HOW
ARE THEY POSED TO FIND THEIR
CHILD AGAIN.
CHILD AGAIN. ONE MOTHER KNEW WHERE HER CHILD
WAS, HE SAID IF YOU WANT YOUR
CHILD BACK, YOU NEED TO COME UP
WITH 100$1,500.
WITH 100$1,500. I BELIEVE THAT A LOT OF THESE
CHILDREN WILL WIND UNIN THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM WHICH IS
ALREADY OVERBURDENED BECAUSE OF
THE OPIOD CRISIS.
THIS IS JUST EGREGIOUS.
>> I WANT TO GET YOU GUYS TO
BOTH RESPOND TO ALSO WHAT WE
PLAYED AT THE PRESIDENT THERE AT
THE TOP OF THE SHOW.
ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT HE
THINKS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN
EUROPE, MEANS THAT EUROPEAN
CULTURES ARE LOSING THEIR CHUL
CHUR.
CHUR. WHAT IS HE SAYING?
>> I THINK HE’S TALKING ABOUT
RACE, HE’S ESSENTIALLY SAYING,
AS HE HAS SAID HERE, IF YOU’RE
COMING FROM NORWAY, IT’S FINE,
BUT IF YOU’RE COMING FROM OTHER
COUNTRIES HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH
THAT.
THAT. HE’S ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE FACT
THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
ARE OF THE MUSLIM FAITH.
>> IF YOU THINK ABOUT STEPHEN
MILLER, WHO’S THIS TOP
IMMIGRATION STRATEGIST IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.
WHITE HOUSE. THIS IS A GUY THAT GROW UP, AND
WHEN HE WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOLD
ONE OF HIS BEST FRIENDS THAT HE
WAS NO LONGER GOING TO BE HIS
FRIEND ANYMORE BECAUSE HE WAS
LATINO.
LATINO. AND THIS GUY IS ABSOLUTELY
WARPED, HE IS THE ONE THAT SAID
THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY HAPPY TO
SEE CHILDREN WILLING SEPARATE
FROM THEIR FAMILIES.
HE TOLD OTHER PEOPLE IN THE
WHITE HOUSE THIS, AND AS LONG AS
HE’S BEING ADVISED BY SOMEONE
LIKE THAT, IMMIGRATION IS GOING
TO BE A PROBLEM.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
>> CHILDREN IN WHO OUR COUNTY
THREW ARE COMPLETELY FRAUM
ADVERTISED.
ADVERTISED. EVEN WHEN THE PARENT IS NOT
APPROPRIATE.
APPROPRIATE. WE WILL TALK YEARS LATER AND SAY
YOU KNOW MY MOTHER HAD AFTERNOON
ADDICTION PROBLEM.
ADDICTION PROBLEM. WHY DIDN’T YOU SEPARATE ME FROM
HER.
HER. NOW YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
CHILDREN WHO ARE BEING SEPARATED
FROM POLITICAL REASONS, AND THE
DAMAGE THAT IS BEING INFLICTED
ON THEM, AND NOW WE’RE TAKING IT
SO FAR AS TO WE’RE MAKING
JUDGMENTS AS TO WHETHER THEY
SHOULD BE REUNITED.
>> IF YOU THINK THERE IS AN
ABUSIVE PARENT, OR IF IT’S A
SMULLER, THAT IS CATCHING UP
WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE
LEGITIMATELY.
LEGITIMATELY. WHILE I HAVE YOU HERE, I DO WANT
TO SPEAK POLITICS EVERY SO
CAREFULLY.
CAREFULLY. MY QUESTION FOR BOTH OF YOU,
CONGRESSWOMAN, I’M INTERESTED
IN, WE CAN START WITH YOU, DO
YOU THINK THAT WHOEVER IS THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADER COME NEXT
YEAR, WHETHER THAT BE THE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, OR STILL
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER, SHOULD
THERE BE CHANGES TO THE SENIOR
RULES IN THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
TO TRY TO MAKE WAYS TO NEWER
GENERAL RAGAL LEADERSHIP, THEY
PUT LIMITS ON THEIR CHAIRMAN AND
OTHER THINGS.
OTHER THINGS. >> I ACTUALLY CHAIRED THE
DRAMATIC CAUCUS RULES COMMITTEE.
AND THE IRONY IS THAT IT IS NOT
ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY. SO ALL THOSE --
>> DO YOU THINK THERE SHOULD BE
SENIORITY LIMITS?
SENIORITY LIMITS? I THINK IF YOU HAVE A MECHANICAL
LIMIT, I THINK THAT’S
PROBLEMATIC AND I THINK THAT’S
MANIFESTED IN THE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DOG
EAT DOG ENVIRONMENT.
>> THEIR LEADERSHIP IS A LOT
YOUNGER, CONGRESSMAN, DO YOU
HAVE A TAKE ON THIS?
>> I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE NEED
TO MAKE SURE AS DEMOCRATS THAT
WE GET THE 23 SEATS THAT WE NEED
IN THE MAJORITY, AND THERE’S
BEEN A LOT OF TALK AND
SPECULATION OF WHO’S GOING TO BE
WHAT, AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE
GOING TO TAKE SHAPE, AND AVENUE
ELECTION.
ELECTION. WHICH CHOOSE WHO’S GOING TO BE
ON WHAT COMMITTEES, BUT UNTIL
THEN, WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON
WHO GETS THOSE 23 SEATS, BECAUSE
WE WON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO FIGHT
OVER IF WE DON’T GET TO THAT
MAGIC NUMBER.
MAGIC NUMBER. >> I ALSO COME TO A STATE FROM
CALIFORNIA, WHERE WE HAVE TERM
LIMITS, I CAN TELL YOU THE CHAOS
WHERE THAT ENSUED.
FINALLY THE VOTERS WENT TO
