what john is talking about because he s using zero facts as per usual for somebody that wants to argue that immigrants should not be welcome in this country. that s not what i said. our economy depends on he did say they should follow the law. they should follow the law. my point is my point is cheap labor. my point is about daca, these dreamers, if we get rid of daca completely, then our economy is going to lose $4.65 billion in the next $465 billion in the next ten years. these are kids who contribute greatly to this economy. immigrants contribute greatly to this country, undocumented immigrants contribute greatly to this country and that is something that people like john and other republicans who don t want to see immigration grow in
graduated from high school. in of them are summa cum lauds in their high school classes. many of them bled and have died in our military. we had one who died this past weekend trying to save people in houston. and this is the way that we treat them? we are better than this as a country. this is a country that values this kind of work ethic, and we should show it. i ve got to go. so maria, you basically, you basically want to make up your own laws, right? if you agree with the law no. i want congress to change the law. scrap it to serve what the situation is today. he s given them six months to do that. let s see what they do. let s sue what they do. republicans haven t been able to do it in the past. thank you, john. i appreciate it. we ll speak to one of the dreamers whose life could be drastically affected by the removal of daca. a man who was brought here at the age of 2.
take responsibility for a decision that will affect millions and many say is cruel. is there truth to that and is that presidential leadership on a tough issue? well, look, i think you heard wa the president said. this isn t an easy decision for him to make. but we do have laws in this country that have to be followed. but look, i ve got a big heart also. and that s for american workers whose wages have been stagnant for 30 years. these are the facts. you just can t make up stuff like that. but that s not the bulk of these dreamers. in mail, the mail african-american community wean 18 and 25 is higher than ever. why? jobs are going away. jobs get shipped over. and there s the factor of john, hold on. but that s not john, listen. again, that is a talking point. the facts don t bear this out. you know why jobs are going
this country don t understand that we re a country whose economy depends on immigrants, documented, yerks and now undocumented. i agree that we are a country of laws, but guess what? the rule of law does not exist in a vacuum. it exists to make sure that they serve people s lives. and immigration laws no longer serve the way that we have our economy set up. so we need to change those laws. john, listen to what the president has said about dreamers in the past. here it is. they shouldn t be very worried. i do have a big heart. we re going to take care of everybody. some absolutely incredible kids. i would say mostly. they were brought here in such a way it s a very, very tough subject. we re going to deal with daca with heart. we love the dreamers. we love everybody. so john, president trump s saying this is all political that he s trying to please the base and pass the buck and not
