Nancy Pelosi doesn't live in Washington DC Itself probably.
Probably dropping them off in San Francisco on her doorstep might make
more of a difference or dropping them off at Barack Obama's hometown.
Or some other hometown of where rich people actually live.
>> That was Fox News is Rachel Campos Duffy who
is not too pleased with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and
his latest immigration policy of essentially taking asylum seekers.
And offering them voluntary bus rides to Washington DC.
Now, Abbott is apparently not right wing enough for
them because these are voluntary bus rides, but he can't just kidnap people.
And force them to places they don't wanna go.
And I kind of love every part of this story because here you have
a governor who's flexing and
trying to give this illusion of being this effective tough guy on immigration.
In reality it doesn't go far enough for these rabid right wingers who
wanna brutalize people who are seeking asylum in this country.
And so we should get to a little more from compost Duffy.
And then I'll tell you how Abbott is responding to it.
Looks like they're getting greeted well by a bunch of NGOs who know they're going to
arrive and they're given packets.
And if they're el Salvadoran Honduran Central American.
They probably want that ride.
They have a huge community of central Americans who live in Washington DC area.
So I'm not sure I get this.
I wanted the constitutional crisis that would take this to the supreme court.
So we could get some clarity on this will.
>> There's no doubt they want this ride this is a voluntary bus ride in order for
one of those illegal immigrants to get on the bus to Washington DC.
They have to volunteer to do so.
We've learned that and we've learned that in the context of asking why doesn't
Texas, why doesn't Governor Abbott?
Why doesn't any other state just simply deport them?
If you're loading them up on busses and sending the Washington DC.
Why don't you load them up on busses and send them back to Mexico?
>> Why don't you load them up on busses and send them right back to Mexico?
It could be because he doesn't have the power to do that.
But anyway, Jink.
>> Yeah, it would be illegal.
And in fact the person who said that is Greg Abbott when he was asked about it,
he said it would be kidnapping.
I can't I literally can't do that.
So that's why the busses have to be voluntary which then makes them absurd.
So Fox is not wrong for saying, well this seems like you're giving them a free ride.
Yeah, that's literally what Abbott is doing.
That's why he's kind of clowning himself.
And now he's got new locations that he's gonna suggest.
>> Yes.
No, I love it because he's backed into a corner because
he's trying to appeal to people who want him to do illegal things.
And the number one thing that former Trump administration
officials wanted him to do was to declare a state of emergency in
response to immigrants coming to the border.
And after doing so use state troopers and the National Guard to
basically brutalize these people and expel them from the country.
Now he wasn't willing to do that.
I guess even Greg Abbott has some standards but
it's as a substitute to that that strategy.
He's decided to do this and it's not working out well for
him because the right wing isn't buying it.
And to be quite clear.
I mean since it's voluntary, a lot of these asylum seekers are like yeah.
Yeah.
That's actually great.
I would love this bus, right?
I'd love to go to DC.
That actually trying to get to the east coast and
what I love is how compost Duffy in that clip was like.
They're being created by NGOs that are trying to help them out.
Like aren't we supposed to be brutalizing them?
I mean they're fleeing violence and
terrible conditions in their own countries.
Like shouldn't we add insult to injury and treat them poorly?
Isn't that what we're all about here in the United States?
>> Anna you're so right.
I've gotten immunized to their brute.
Like how vicious fox news is and the right wing is.
But look at what they're saying they're like why are we treating them like
human beings, why are we being decent to them?
Shouldn't we brutalize them and that's what she's upset about?
It's unbelievable they have no humanity and decency left at all.
>> Yeah.
We should just be able to topple democratically
elected leaders in these countries destabilize these countries.
And then after people flee those countries because the conditions there are so
unbearable.
We should brutalize them as they seek asylum here in the United States.
Listen, we need to actually implement the policy of processing asylum seekers.
And deciding whether or not they have a case or
a good enough reason to be admitted into the country.
That is the system that we're supposed to be implementing.
But we have a shortage of judges to be fair.
I think Biden has failed in having a policy set to deal with this adequately.
And as a result Right Wingers are freaking out and
they're making up stories about criminals like flooding into the country.
And then you also have these political chest puffing contest with Greg Abbott
claiming like he's the tough guy when in reality there isn't really much he can do.
And what they're asking him to do again is illegal.
So how is he responding to this?
Well in my opinion, more nonsense, here's the latest clip of Abbott on Fox News.
>> As we're speaking right now Sean the seventh bus is in
route from Texas to Washington DC.
This bussing process is gonna continue.
>> Will you send every illegal immigrant that you find in the state of
Texas to Washington DC.
>> We're gonna load them up and send him to Washington DC.
If we run out of room there, Delaware looks like a great location.
>> I'm gonna send them to Delaware cuz that's where Biden's from.
He's trying to make a point right.
>> Yea.
>> Okay send him to that but you can't force them on the bus again.
It's voluntary.
So if you're offering rides to Delaware to nice I guess.
>> Yeah, next thing he's like you know.
>> What what about the Bahamas?
Are you gonna fly him out to the Bahamas?
Yes I'm gonna fly them out to the Bahamas.
Maybe pay for an all inclusive resort.
I'm gonna teach them.
>> To be fair, Bahamas is not an American so
he doesn't have the authority to do that.
But Hawaii on the other hand right?
So, yeah I'm gonna put him on a plane.
I'm gonna put him in first class maybe business class if they don't fit.
And then I would send them out to Hawaii.
Wait what?
[LAUGH].
Okay, I don't know.
I'm thinking of going down to Texas to get free riding somewhere else.
>> Right but
also notice he didn't really answer that question cuz Hannity was very specific.
Are you gonna send every, he said a legal immigrant to Washington DC.
You again, you can't kidnap people and force them onto the bus.
So he pivoted towards me?
I'm gonna I'm gonna send him to Delaware.
>> If they wanna go or Hawaii if they wanna go.
I don't know I'm doing a marketing trick and
it doesn't seem like it's working that well.
That's exactly right by the way.
Another reason why some Fox host might not be happy about
this particular employee is because some of them live in DC.
So all of a sudden they're like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yeah okay that's what we thought.
