from a place of like white american nationalism. donald trump has embraced this rhetoric of like racism and xenophobia not beneficial to this country. this administration totally has not done anything moral. this is really awful. the only problem is the comments that they re reacting to are from president obama in 2014. even as we are a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. undocumented workers broke our immigration laws. and i believe that they must be held accountable. that s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80%. that s why we are going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. steve: okay. so how did they react when they found out that it wasn t trump and it was obama. here with more is campus reform cabot phillips. good morning to you. thanks for having me on. steve: you red this statement and said this is from a president. they did the math and
right? it s barack obama in 2014. watch. undocumented workers broke our immigration laws. and i believe that they must be held accountable. especially those who may be dangerous. that s why over the past six years, deportations of criminals are up 80%. and that s why we are going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. ainsley: i heard on the sunday shows this weekend why are people up in arms? many of ice directors and people that work in law enforcement? why is everyone up in arms today when president obama had the same message and actually fiscal year 09 to fiscal year 16 when obama was the resident. 3,066,457 illegals were deported. brian: right. the question is not has the democratic changed. it has. has the american people s view of illegals here especially ones that commit crimes changed? i believe it hasn t.
