when barack obama refused to keep his promise on immigration, democrats are the ones that took him on, called him deporter in chief and had him change his ways. people within the party have to take the president of the united states on. we did it in the past and we need to do it in the future today. look, the majority of people in america in two polls, two nationally registered polls, a majority of people, how sad it is, believe the president of the united states is a racist. that s not me. i stand with the majority of the people of the united states of america. that s a sad commentary when the majority of people believe this president is a race ist. a racist president of the united states of america. we have a reaction from tim ryan from ohio, and also a democratic candidate for president. when the president concluded his remarks he seemed to reference the wrong city. of course the shooting was in dayton but he said toledo.
there s no way they would vote for rubio. there seems to be a split between rubio, cruz. arguably number three and number four in all the national polls among the republicans. yes, and, you know, it just shows how complicated immigration issue is politically. it s complicated politically for democrats as well. but if they re smart, instead of going at each other, they would unite and say what trump wants to do, even if you re ted cruz and you see everything as amnesty. what trump wants to do is impractical. if trump wants to round up 11 million people, needs to tell us exactly how he s going to yank 11 million people out of their communities, their churches, their schools, their jobs. i want details from a person who is very reluctant to give details elsewhere. we deserve that. what do you say to those who criticiitriticize obama on his deportations? some have called him deporter in chief.
these numbers are really puffed up by turn arounds at the border an not by actual enforcement in the interior. lauren? i think this number really proves what a difficult spot the president was in when he was talking about immigration reform for a long time. he had to look tough on immigration in order to convince republicans in congress that he was doing enough at the border to get them to trust him and pass some kind of comprehensive immigration reform. of course, that hasn t happened. now president has sort of been in this weird position where he s had to go out of his way to have this executive order. and of course, that affected 5 million people which is far more than the 2 million that he claims to have deported. all right. i have a little different approach to it. i don t know john if you disagree with me or not. but look, i think the president s done a lousy job on immigration. the house and senate in the july of 2010 when he gave that speech on immigration at american uni
