talking about deporting 11 million people. by the n way, a yale study puts the number at almost 20 million people. no one is talking about that. we are talking about getting rid of what donald trump calls bad h hombres. clearly, this guy was one. we had to be talking about doing something about all of this and it ought not to be an ideological deal. dan: leslie, you asked me what do we do. as ironic about what we do? we get rid of the sb 54 law, that s really ridiculous, when you commit a misdemeanor, you get a pass. will you agree and say, we both agree, it s a bad law? if you are arrested for a misdemeanor and here illegally, you ought to be reported to i.c.e.e. and set up for deportation? can we agree? i ll take a yes. no! by the way, it was dan who asked me about all of the undocumented people in the state. larry, you weren t listening to the host. i said, that is an element that needs to be changed and that a left and right in a state of
is a political redline and one of those moments where we absolutely have to stand up for something. are you getting the same thing from your constituents? one of the reasons you are lucky you didn t win when you ran for congress is it s disgusting to be in a town where people don t keep promises that they don t intend to keep. some of us have not equivocated. let me be real clear. the cost of human lives, straight-line cost, of not protecting our border would be equivalent to the korean war. thousands of deathsre per year, 4,000 murders per year. if you now say you are in illicit drugs, this is truly about protecting america. i am for a robust and healthy immigration plan. this is ridiculous and flies in the face of a sovereign nation ought to do it. it s tragic that it had to be done this way. dan: i agree. congressman, the exit question. the g.o.p. loses, republicans lose, when we don t advance our principles. i said this last night.
detainers with regard to this law?se it s clear he was let go because it was a misdemeanor but he was in the country illegally. what is yourse objection? here c in california, where both larry and i reside, this is anan issue where the majority of people that voted for democrats to pass and have protective measures against the hispanic community did not want this element in sb 54. if you look at the original legislation that was passed and how it was written, the changes that were made this past september, i woulde say that we agreed that the police should be able to notify i.c.e. when it is a violent individual. here was the problem, dan, this is where we get into the gray area that is a problem with sb 54, in my opinion. one, he was held on a misdemeanor, not a felony, and two, he does have a violent background. so it is a gray area that can be changed, as we saw changed in september with sb 54. to address this without making the hispanic community fearful
obstruction of justice. it is not, as chuck schumer said on the floor of the senate, a reason for disqualification of barr to the contrary, it is actually a very good reason to confirm somebody like william barr. he lays out how the firing of james comey s not obstruction of justice. the law is very specific on obstruction. i devote an entire chapter in my book to it. has to be a corrupt purpose that involves a lie, threat, bribe, concealing of evidence, destruction of documents or falsifying information. the firing of james comey is none of those things, even comey grudgingly admitted in his testimony, the president was entitled to fire him for a reason or no reason at all. so again, the media and democrats say, oh, barr must recuse himself or he is disqualified, frankly, they don t know what they are talking about. they have never read their recusal regulations in the code of federal regulations. dan: david, i ll go to you next. your legal opinion on the
coyotes. i will not surrender this nation to the whims of criminal organizations who pray on the vulnerable, who heard women and children, and to spread human misery and suffering. every day, ten known or tsuspected terrorists try to ge entry into our country. every day, 2,000 illegal aliens try to cross our borders. they try.. we get most of them. it s hard without a wall. every year, 50,000 illegal children are smuggled by coyotes and criminals into our country. dan: joining us now with the latest on immigration versus and more as trace gallagher. trace? dan, police say on monday morningol alone, he carried out1 crimes, including killing a stranger and shooting at others before he was killed in a high-speed police chase. authorities think he killed another man a day earlier. last week, garcia-ruiz was
