thank you for what you re doing. you re doing god s work down there. be safe and thank you. thank you to all the volunteers that have come in, also, a part of the great big cajun navy. you know the work that needs to be done. for weeks people will be down there in need. let s thank clyde cain, the cajun navy back at it again. unfortunately they re needed once again. let s bring back thad allen, a former u.s. national incident commander who led the response in hurricane katrina and rita. and lisa monaco, adviser to president obama. among her duties was coordinating disaster response. am i wrong in that? i rebekah. i remember rita. i don t remember the call going out so early. that if you re able to help in any way you uhave a boat people were doing it anyway down there in cajun country. but this call, this open if you can get after it, do so, somewhat unusual, isn t it? i think it is. but it s also a testament to the scale of what we re seeing down there. it s certainly needed
sheriff joe loves our country. sheriff joe protected our borders, and sheriff joe was very unfairly treated by the obama administration especially right before an election, an election that he would have won, and he was elected many times. so i stand by my partner, pardon of sheriff joe. and i think the people of arizona who really know him best would agree with me. point of fact this whole matter stems from an incident that preceded 2011 so it wasn t just about some election kind of finagling and this was supposed to be law and forward president and this was an order from a federal court sheriff joe decided to ignore. now, what does the law allow? the law certainly allows the president to pardon anyone he wants. this isn t about his ability to do it. it s whether he made the right call. what the law says about what sheriff joe was doing police can ask for documentation of immigration status while in the course of enforcing other laws.
