Dr. Oz, who is running for
a Senate seat in Pennsylvania has been pushing the notion that he would do
something about undocumented immigrants in the country.
He's gonna have a tough on undocumented immigrants policy once he is
elected into the Senate.
But it turns out that not too long ago he actually had to pay
the largest fine in American history for employing undocumented workers.
And I'll give you the details on that in just a second.
But before I do, here's one of his latest tweets on immigration where he says.
As your United States Senator, I will fight to end illegal immigration and
soft on crime policies that released dangerous undocumented criminals into
sanctuary cities.
Now, those alleged, dangerous undocumented criminals are people that he
liked to hire and employ at a family business.
And when he was caught doing so he was slapped with a massive fine.
So, let's actually go to the next tweet,
DR Oz just tweeted that he will fight to end illegal immigration.
His family business was fined.
I can't even believe this figure $95 million by US immigration and
customs enforcement for illegally hiring thousands of immigrants using fake names.
It's the largest fine in ice history.
And, I'll give you the details on what the family business was and
how he got caught in just a moment.
But Genk, Dr. Oz will mini Trump, what do you and
the rest of the Turkish community have to say about this.
>> Okay, shot to, so first of all, Dr. Oz sell out.
So he's an immigrant.
Now he's throwing other immigrants under the bus.
He says, no, it's different because they're undocumented.
That makes them illegal immigrants.
Well, that's interesting because your family just paid a $95 million fine
because you did something illegal.
So what happened to, I care so much about the $95 million.
You ever understand the scale that must have been.
So that's apparently one of the largest privately held companies in the country.
I didn't know that owned by I think his father in law.
So there's no end to how much money Dr Oz has.
>> It was started by his father in law.
>> Okay. >> Yeah.
>> And so he has shares.
His wife has shares.
They say no our whole family has shares.
And that makes it better how, right.
>> We all broke the law.
>> Yeah, so don't tell me about people breaking the law and
don't tell me about immigrants.
And then put the two together because you actually broke that law more specifically
by hiring undocumented immigrants and had to pay a monster fine for it.
Not himself personally, but that company did.
And he's part owner of that company.
And it's a family business.
And so, but guys back to the immigration point.
So I'm a legal documented immigrant to this country, why?
Because I got lucky.
My uncle was here because he was a doctor.
So the country took him in because they needed more doctors and
he was able to sponsor us and bring us in.
The undocumented immigrants didn't get lucky.
They didn't happen to already have a family member here.
But it's the same motivation.
It's the same drive to make your family better to go to a place that you think
is filled with hope and opportunity.
But now Dr Oz is gonna turn around as an immigrant himself and say, these people
are bad and evil, etc nah, it's a terrible thing to do if you're an immigrant.
Something I also wanna add to this conversation is the fact that one of
the reasons why we never get comprehensive immigration reform from Congress.
Is because business interests in the United States love employing
undocumented immigrants.
They love that they have undocumented status so they can exploit them.
They can pay them whatever they want, what are they going to do?
What recourse do they have to go to the authorities and say, hey,
my wages are being stolen or I'm being abused at work.
No, it's a perfect scenario for
some of these companies who want to have workers who have even less power
than ordinary citizens who have citizenship in this country.
Now, let's give you the details on this family business.
It's a privately held business and it's a true tree-pruning
company with a very awkward name Asplundh Tree Experts Co.
A business for which Oz is listed as a shareholder on regulatory documents
settled with US immigrations and customs enforcement in 2017.
After a six-year investigation and
audit revealed a systemic effort to hire unauthorized workers.
The ice press release at the time said this.
The Tree Experts Company, one of the largest privately held companies
in the United States, pleaded guilty on 28 September 2017.
To unlawfully employing aliens in connection with a scheme in which
the highest levels of Asplundh management remained willfully blind.
While lower level managers hired and rehired employees,
they knew to be ineligible to work in the United States.
And by the way, the press release used the word aliens, please don't
clip that out out of context and use it against me like five years from now,
which someone will probably do anyway.
>> No question.
So first, just double down on what NS said this if you care about
undocumented immigrants coming in.
The core of the problem is the companies that are willing to hire them to make
money off of them.
And by the way to deny you higher paying jobs.
>> Mm-hm.
And so Dr. Oz is the cancer in that scenario that
he's pretending he cares about.
And it's like, my God, I am so outraged.
Did my family make so much money that we paid a $95 million fine and
didn't even bother us by using undocumented immigrants.
But I will now be so against undocumented immigrants because I
hear Republican voters are hateful, and I'm trying to be as hateful as possible.
And so to that point, and by the way, doctors don't come and
cry me a river, okay.
About, it's so unfair to me.
You chose to be a sellout.
>> Totally.
Donald Trump said that he wanted a total and
complete shutdown of any Muslim entering the country.
Dr Oz is a Muslim immigrant.
But now you're already here.
So you wanna burn the bridge after you cross it, right.
I know, but I would like more tax cuts.
You're already a gazillionaire, swimming in cash.
How much money, power and fame do you need?
>> Goddamn it!
But no other Muslims, you wanna kick them, right.
You wanna kick them in the mouth, and then say all this terrible thing
about immigrants when you're a goddamn immigrant.
Look into it, Dr. Oz, look in the goddamn mirror,
your name is Mehmet Oz, you are Turkish, you are Muslim.
You came to this country as an immigrant.
You think you're one of them.
>> Say his name again.
That was amazing.
>> Mehmet Oz, that's who he is.
>> We know the truth, okay.
>> So don't come here, but Trump gave me a little pet on the head, and
he said, I was in the club, are you Dr. Oz?
Are you in the goddamn club.
That's why you wanna kick the rest of us.
No deal.
I hope Fetterman obliterates him.
