sheriffs who typically stay out of politics for the most part had it written an open letter condemning the comment. she had to pull back and so she is in a paradox of what race are you running for. the other thing, tucker, i would say is, sometimes in politics it s all about timing. in many ways, she should have run in 2016. she would have had the entire left field to herself. she didn t do that. and now that field is so crowded. tucker: that s i agree with you completely. it s the chris christie problem for years too late. that was her cycle. so is anybody concerned about the effect there are things about our system that are bad and could be improved, everyone agrees with that. but attempted to legitimize the entire justice system inevitably will increase the amount of crime and disorder in america and that has always been a pretty powerful political issue. are they worried about that?
taxpayer and even immigrants are receiving welfare on behalf of their children who are automatically treated as u.s. citizens. it has long been assumed that anyone board here is automatically a citizen and the constitution requires that. in fact, that may not be the case. in a recent washington post piece, michael antone argued the president could issue tomorrow an executive order that the children of illegal immigrantsic are not to be treated as citizens, and why wouldn t he do that? could the president do that and if so, why isn t he? victor anderson joins us tonight. and it s true that the constitution does not mandate citizenship for anyone born here regardless of status for the status of the parents. so then why are we acting that that s the law? i think it s because the 14th amendment following the civil war was aims to address
the problems of post-civil war s slavery. nobody really drafted that law and dreamed of that we would have 4 million people with foreign nationals. it s kind of murky and we have about 150 years of jurisprudence that can t quite adjudicate what that meant. but what that can do tucker is we are the only real people that can go here with the exception of canada that allows both tourism or people to become citizens as parents if they are not only not parents but they are not here illegally. europe doesn t do it. the most liberal countries, europe and asia, they do not do it and it s mostly a new world phenomenon. at that only applies to the united states because that s what people want to come. it s something that s archaic and i think we could modify it, we could say in five years we are going to gradually go into a
anchor, our friend, bret baier? bret, thanks for filling us in. what is going on with keith ellison, exactly? yeah, tucker. this allegation, domestic abuse from a former girlfriend came out in the final days of the campaign. he is denying the allegations. it s probably going to effect some votes there we don t have any numbers yet out of minnesota. the amazing part of this story is what you mentioned is that he is the current deputy chair of the democratic national committee and you really haven t seen this story many places. you haven t seen it picked up many places. and that really is a big deal, for not only minnesota but also nationally on the democratic party. i want to touch on a couple other things. one is there are a lot of primaries that tonight could set the table for some big races come the fall. if you think about it, on the governors in new england, which as you know, a pretty progressive area, region, currently republicans hold four out of the six states. the governor s
tucker: might as well give them real socialism, the crowd cheers. just ten years ago democrats and nodded to the idea of border security. they said there were for it. now the idea of immigration and enforcement of any kind, of borders themselves, is considered repugnant on the left. i have reason to believe that an agency that has repeatedly, systematically and violently committed human rights abuses cannot be reformed. just imagine, no wall. no wall and southern arizona. disagree you are immoral. the republicans will continue to practice politics of the division, they will attack anyone who dares to stand up to the rich and the powerful.
