you it is secure. after we have done that. our ill graduation cymmigration backward. right now low walls, narrow gate. we need high walls and a broader gate. we need to make it easier for people that want to come legally. learn english, adopt our values. want to work hard and improve our economy. one of the dumbest things we do is educate people and kick them out to compete against us. what would you do with millions of hard working decent people and young kids may have been brought illegally by their parents and grown of in the united states, would you kick them out? two things the american people are compassionate, pragmatic and will deal with folks here, compassionately, and pragmatically. i don t think they want to have the conversation until the border is secure. they re skeptical they have seen what happened before. they were told let s do it all at once. didn t work. after the border governors tell you it is secure. we can have a conversation how to deal pragmatically and
my advice would have been, go to the border, own this issue. send a clear message to the parents in central america. please don t send your children here. we ll work with you not only to see that the children already here are treated compassionately, but we ll work with you on the violence back in your home country. you don t have to make this horrible choice by having your child killed by a gang in honduras or sending your child 45 days through the wilderness and being raped and assaulted and walking past dead children. what a horrible dhois for these children. the president tried in his comments there, he didn t emphasize it significantly but he said it and i think with great purpose that he s deported 400,000 in a year. that was a record. a democratic president setting a record for deportations, something that frustrated a lot of people on the left. i want to ask the congressman about that. but something for the president is a point of pride. he s tough on immigration. will that m
the way we treat him. so we have to have a policy that s humane and that is a comprehensive way forward that deals with the sending countries, stainability, economic development, and when the children arrive here, treat them as humanitarianly and compassionately as we can. screaming at children is not a best reflection of it who we are as a nation. when you look at the messages that folks on different sides of this debate are putting out there, do you see much of faith coming, do you see that sort of in the narrative here? or not really? well, i think we can do better, but i am thankful for groups like the evangelical immigration table that s been working for over three years, groups like world vision and world relief, we re not talking about fixing the crisis, we re also helping these countries in honduras, el salvador to provide security, education, and relief. what we don t want is using
christians, of humanity is to take care of each other, but not for washington to steal money from those in the country and to give it to others in the country. the one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. so we have to be careful how we pick and choose verses out of the bible. one of the primary tenets of catholic teaching is don t keep people poor. don t make people dependent on government of the. i themean, this is somethingu do not see throughout history, the use of religion to justify poverty or justify income inequality. it s really upheard of. that s the problem, that s why the party has moved so far to the right. in many ways it seems to be tied to religion. and republicans need to find a wray to speak compassionately about the issue, about the poor, about women, about minorities. they are not other species. we are all people, and we want to be treated like we re people.
reading of the verdict, she stared at every juror as they left trying to make eye contact with them. does this help the court and jurors steer away from the death penalty and think more compassionately on mental health grounds. i think you re 100% correct. she s been trying to be manipulative and talk her way out of this situation since the first time she got arrested. a lot of criminal defendants think they can talk their way out of their problems. in all actuality, she can t. this is something where she thinks if i tell them i want death, they ll give me life. and she really needs to just stop trying to help herself and let her lawyers try to save her life. she really had a legitimate shot of getting life in prison because she has no prior criminal history. this is an isolated event. her age she was only five years
