>> As we've all seen, Donald Trump's immigration policy has been a complete and utter disaster.
He has failed over and over again.
And he has proven to his base, that building that border wall will not be paid for by Mexico.
And it wasn't even a priority of his when he had some political capital.
Now what's been frustrating is that, no one in the mainstream media is calling it what
it is.
Until Cenk Uygur was allowed on cable news and he called Trump out, take a look.
>> Why do we have this problem in the first place?
Cuz Trump said he was gonna stop the flow of immigration and instead what did he do?
It's gone up 32% in the last month, and it's the most we've had, both legal and illegal
in in 13 years.
So Kayleigh I put it to you, Isn't Donald Trump a giant failure on his signature issue?
>> No, he's not a giant failure.
And first, I wanna correct your fallacy that he puts kids in cages.
A lot of those pictures were from the Obama administration, so nice try doesn't work.
We have a crisis on our hands, do you do acknowledge that at least Cenk that we have a crisis when
you have 1 million people start to come in this fateful year more than the population
of Miami and Atlanta?
>> So the statistics that she mentioned at the very end were false.
And she also lied about the photos featuring kids in cages.
Those photos were taken by journalists after Donald Trump implemented his zero tolerance
policy, we all know that.
But she's Donald Trump's campaign manager, so of course, she's gonna go out there and
put complete nutter nonsense up.
Actually Press Secretary for Trump's reelection campaign.
Let me be clear about what she does.
Anyway, what do you guys think about that whole exchange?
>> I mean, it's a lot for them to handle truth telling.
And so what do they respond with?
It's usually more lies and more lies.
Not only did she lie about the photos, there was one revelation that there were images
that were taken that resurfaced in the news that are sometimes used as B-roll photos from
the children that were trapped during Obama era.
Yeah, that happened a little bit, but most of those photos, as you were talking about
about did come from journalists going to the border in Texas and other places along the
southern border doing their job.
And we could see them here, they're also being hit by tear gas which is a violation of Geneva
convention standards in war, not even just a civilian population but in war.
So there are so many tragedies that are going on besides him failing on the signature policy.
Where people who I'm not a fan of but people who are part of the Republican base like Ann
Coulter have broken ranks with him.
Because she's so disappointed about his failure to follow through with the wall, to stymie
migration as well.
>> Right, and in fact if you're concerned about US taxpayer money going toward undocumented
immigrants.
The policies that Trump has implemented actually drains more of our resources.
Because he has this policy of ensuring that everyone is detained rather than allowing
people to maybe wear ankle bracelets and get released until they get their court date.
And I'm specifically of course, referring to individuals who are here seeking asylum.
So I wanna get your thoughts on the next video Nando, because McEnany continues on with this
notion that Trump has actually been awesome on immigration policy.
>> Under Obama, we had less undocumented immigrants than we do under Trump.
Trump said, I'm gonna get tough and I'm such a tough guy and I'm gonna separate the families.
I'm gonna put the kids in this place and their parents and their moms and other places.
I'm so tough, and what do we have?
We have more undocumented immigrants, not less and say 13 year record.
He's a miserable failure on this issue.
>> This has been.
>> So they voted for him thinking he was gonna stop on the undocumented immigrants, he didn't
even do that.
And now, we have an absolute disaster on our hands, cuz he doesn't know how he address
the core issue.
Why they are coming in the first place?
>> We have seen a study incline in illegal immigration, starting under Obama administration
and continuing to now.
The only person who has taken any interest in stopping this in the last four decades
is President Trump who secured money for 450 million miles miles of all.
>> Did it work?
>> Excuse me, did it work?
It's going to work, it's going to be built, the 450 miles by the of next year.
>> Any day now.
>> We've just got the funding for this, what have you got?
>> Zero chance it's built by next year.
>> I love Trump is freaking out and trying to strong on Mexico into somehow preventing-
>> Guatemalans, Hondurans, yes.
>> I mean, cuz I remember, the biggest criticism people had of the Cuban regime, the Castro
regime is that they wouldn't let people leave their country and come in to United States.
But when the Central Americans, we want them to build these sort of police states to keep
their people in.
And Cenk asks the absolute correct question which is why are they coming in the first
place?
>> Yes.
>> And it has nothing to do with border enforcement, clearly.
Because like as the border has gotten more militarized and more violent, people keep
coming.
It just goes to show just how desperate their situation must be in Central America, especially
in Honduras.
Which is the country that's driving the majority of migrants through Mexico and into the United
States in the last year or two.
A country that we supported the military coup in 2009.
The party that's been in power on the back of a military coup is privatizing all social
services including education, pensions, all that fund stuff.
There is huge protest throughout Honduras as a result and the social crisis caused by
that is what's driving all these people to come over here.
So this is the same story over and over and over again.
We screw up a region, and then the people wanna come over, because they're desperate,
and poor, and fleeing violence, and then we shut the doors.
So it's just- >> Yeah, it's like you break you leg and you're
in excruciating pain and you're just taking pain killers but you're not dealing with what
the problem is, which is your broken leg.
>> Yeah, and then you're getting addicted to oxy and then you're dying.
>> Exactly, so and we take this approach on pretty much every single issue including domestic
policy.
For instance, when it comes to the issue of homelessness, all right, we can go ahead and
build shelters, but why are all these people homeless?
What's causing the homelessness?
Could it be stagnant wages, could it be the fact that wages haven't kept up with inflation?
Could it be that developers are demolishing affordable housing to build these luxury apartments
and condos?
Let's talk about the root of the problem, but we never do that.
We only talk about look, what we can do to alleviate some of the symptoms?
>> Well, because people are obsessed with the simplified narrative of what's actually
happening.
So the narrative that the conservatives are trying to funnel out is that there's so much
migration into the US that they're taking American jobs and that's why there are depressed
wages, that's why the middle class is bottoming out.
But there's so much that is very complex about migratory patterns that are not incorporated
into this conversation.
Yes, there's an increase right now in terms of migration stemming into the US from other
places in Central America.
But Business Insider just a week ago reported that there's actually more Mexicans from the
US migrating back to Mexico.
>> Let me just tell you, okay, this is something that I've been trying to, I think I've been
yelling from the rooftops about, in fact, on CNN, the one and only time I was allowed
on Reliable Sources.
Yeah, there is actually more Mexican immigrants leaving the United States than coming in.
And as Nando pointed out, the majority of the migration is coming from these Central
American countries that are fleeing violence.
These are people who are desperate so desperate that they're willing to risk their own lives
not just through the journey, but through the brutality that people are now experiencing
at the border at the hands of our immigration or our Border Patrol agents.
Now with that said, I wanna go to the final video and I love what Cenk brings up here,
take a look.
>> Just last week we had a eight month old child who was taken across the Rio Grande
River by a 55 year old man who was not her father, why?
Because we have the TVPRA which incentivizes crossing with a child, cuz you are allowed
to stay in the country.
>> That is rule change that should be addressed.
>> Of course it should.
>> No, Kayleigh.
>> He must have a wall.
>> Kayleigh.
>> Do you care about the 70,000 Americans who die of drug overdose much of which crosses
our southern border?
>> First of all, the drug overdoses, it's largely Oxycontin and heroin that's causing
it.
Those are the giant drug companies giving Donald Trump tons of money-
>> And it's fentanyl.
>> To pretend that it's Mexicans that are the problem when it's people in suits who
pay off Republican Party one day after another after another, and they make billions of dollars
off of Oxycontin and you know that-
>> Don't play dumb and act like you don't know that drugs come across our southern border.
>> And Trump said he was gonna stop it and that was another lie, he didn't do that either,
okay?
And in terms of the kids coming from Guatemala, etc., think about those parents, how desperate
they have to be to put those kids on that parares track.
And they do it anyway, because the conditions are such deplorable situation.
>> And guess who else does it?
Smugglers, smugglers.
>> And part of the reason for that is our stupid drug war that created total chaos in
those Latin American countries.
>> All right.
>> And that's a complete and utter failure, that's also on you.
>> All right.
>> I love how they pretend, and I'm specifically referring to McEnany here, that they care
about the violence they might face, the migrants might face at the hands of smugglers.
They don't care, I mean, we have border patrol agents who literally go out there and they
destroy humanitarian efforts to leave food and water for these migrants.
So they don't die as they're trying to flee violence in their countries and find safety
here in the United States.
I mean, you really care about what the smugglers are doing?
First of all, I mean, I genuinely do care which is why it's important to have a better
system put in place so these people.
First of all, again, root to the problem, why are they fleeing, and what can we as Americans
do to help solve that problem?
And secondly, if you care about these people's lives, why are you putting them in cages?
Why are you ripping the kids away from their parents with the zero tolerance policy which
Trump had to abandon because it was so controversial?
I mean, they don't care about these people's lives and I'm so fed up with the disingenuous
but what about these kids, what about these people?
You don't care about these people.
And I love that Cenk brought up the issue of drugs, because that is another talking
point that we see from the Trump administration over and over again.
The drug smuggling, the drug smuggling.
We have the drug smugglers here in the United States, and as Cenk says they wear suits.
>> Yeah, ending the war on drugs tomorrow would be the best way to curb unauthorized
immigration from Central America into United States, right?
The demand for drugs in United States has remained stagnant despite the efforts of the
drug war.
Drugs are pure, more cheap than ever before, despite the efforts of the United States'
drug war.
All it's done is create violence and misery in the countries that are in the route of
the drug smugglers.
So that only creates more conditions for migrants to come, it doesn't address the problem of
drugs.
Drugs are just, let me know, you want drugs?
I can get you drugs today, it's not that hard, it hasn't changed one bit.
The only thing it's caused is all kinds of death, misery, and violence in Central America
which is leading to the migrant crisis we face now.
>> Yeah, and the other thing that they're pretending about is that they care about people
who are dying from drugs, right?
They care when it enters white suburban households, that's when they care.
>> They don't even really care.
>> A little bit, a little, a little bit.
>> A little bit too elevated to a national emergency and to find alternative paths that
don't include law enforcement.
Which was a stark, stark divergence from the Nixon administration calling it a war on drugs
very intentionally to seize and attack the black community.
And to seize and attack anybody outside, including Central America, but also got kicked up with
the Reagan administration as well.
And we know the disastrous effects, and we know the way that the media was also complicit
in elevating that narrative.
And so they don't care and they're a part of it.
And I love that Cenk pointed out that it is the guys from big pharma who are price gouging
you all.
Just so that they can have more expensive drugs to line their pockets and people get
addicted.
And they look for cheaper sources that are more dangerous and not monitored by doctors.
>> And just going back to the root of the problem and how we tend to only try to fix
things by alleviating symptoms.
Look, we're already creating a new root of the problem and it is our inaction with climate
change.
What is the United States gonna do, what is the government gonna do when people are displaced?
Massive amounts of people are gonna be displaced from their homes, because the conditions in
their countries will be unlivable.
Because of what we're doing with climate change, or inaction, I should say, with climate change.
So that's gonna be a huge issue and the Trump administration is certainly contributing to
that issue.
