this is not the first time excessive use was used by the border patrol. he says three of his agents were hit by rocks and that they tried to target the men and more men were apprehended. the president is saying if anyone throws a rock at you, treat it as if they re shooting at you. that s not a message that should be sent. very rarely are they in mortal danger with rocks. we re going to investigate what s happening on the ground. tear gassing families seems unnecessary to us. anywhere between 5,000 and 9,000 migrants in tijuana, mexicali. what percentage of those people, human beings, mind you, do you feel have a case for asylum? that s an important question you re asking. it s very difficult for us to know but a significant number, based on past year. half? no, i don t think half will.
their car is not selling well, so they ll put something else. i have no doubt that in a not-too-distant future, they ll put something else. they better put something else i in. john, go ahead? i ve seen it, i ve read some of it and it s fine. they say the economic impact will be devastating. i don t believe it. you don t believe it? no, i don t believe it. and here s the other thing, you re going to have to china and japan and all of asia and all of these other countries, you know, it addresses our country. right now we re the cleanest we ve ever been. and that s very important to me. but if we re clean, but every other place on earth is dirty, that s not so good, so i want clean air, i want clean water, very important. mr. president, are you comfortable tear gassing children like what we saw at the border?
answer for that problem. but a wall in and of itself strikes me as much more symbol than substance. ana navarro is with us this morning. did you find that to be a compelling answer from chief scott about the use of tear gas, which was essentially, look, our job is to protect the border. by the time they re here or through the fence, what are we supposed to do? his claim that most of the people storming the fence were men not the women and children we see in the pictures. look, there are no easy answers here. and it s a very difficult situation, a very complicated situation. i don t find that a compelling answer. we ve seen the images of the children and the women and there has got to be a pragmatic and compassionate answer that does not involve tear gassing children. that is not who america is. that is not what we do. the eyes of the world are watching us. if we are going to be the beacon of human rights for the world we
a difference. mm-hmm. lastly, and we re going to talk to someone in mississippi in a second on what happened over the border and all of the you know, the meerigrant many of them storming the border and let s all remember, seeking asylum is legal, right, but they were tear gassed. and you know, maybe there were tougher elements, but there were also kids and families that got tear gassed. so he was asked, are you comfortable tear gassing kids. and he said that they had to, that the border was being rushed by some tough people, and then he said, the bottom line is, nobody is coming into our country unless they re coming in legally. right. and this is another thing. the president is not going to move off of this. he wants to build a wall. he will tear gas. last night, there was a report on 60 minutes about a child being separated from his mother and he tweeted about that, calling it fake. so, this is, you know, this is the president s policy right now. and he is mad at his, at
know it s going to vote for. right now the right wing of the base, they look at the images and go we were right. caravan, bunch of invaders, starting trouble, we have to secure the border. then the left goes we were right. donald trump hates emigrants. he is tear gassing kids and he s mean and you should vote for us. both sides politically prosper from the chaos and they are going to do it until 2020. geraldo: dana, what about kennedy s point that neither side wants to give the other side a win. dana: it s been true for a long time. go back to the thousand seven failure. i laid the failure of the feet of harry reid and barack obama at that time. ted kennedy was trying to help. by the way, i was alive when ted kennedy primaried jimmy carter. i have to correct the record.
