precedent. there is suffering everywhere in the world. charity starts at home, let s take care of our own first and foremost. then we do it the legal way, not illegally. i see roy sitting next to terry, champing at the bit. go ahead, roy. trump says it when they don t want the caravan to come in, i m sure a number of women wouldn t want to be around donald trump. but first and foremost, i would say, let s go through the process. let s process each case, case by case. if there was a proper system of immigration in place then we could properly vet those that were trying to enter into the country and decipher who was a criminal and who was seeking asylum. julie, you wanted to say what? there is a system and how to come to this country. i am an immigrant and i did it the right way. you file your paperwork, get approved and come here. it s as simple as that. here s the problem. right now, our system is being gamed.
somebody asked you what do you care about, what would you say? losing your health care? equal pay. equal rights. what really, honestly matters to you? if basic human rights matter, then vote. if women s rights are human rights, then vote. don t lose hope. would that ad in any way motivate you to go to the polls. show of hand. in the back, why? if i wasn t going to vote or had no motivation, it it probably would put a fire under me especially with the misogyny going on. laura: what is the most important issue for all of you on tuesday. the most important issue? i think for arizona in general right now, the top issue clearly is immigration and driven by the caravan on its way here and i think we talked about it. but there s a two-fold there, the regulatory system that s
and sometimes it gets really messy and honestly, that s sad. how many people here will race effect your vote in this upcoming mid-term election? is race important to you in the way it s been depicted? race is always laura: in your vote. race has always been important. laura: i want to get into the idea that this election many people are saying it s a referendum on president trump. so regardless of which party you are voting for is there anyone here only voting on tuesday as a pro or anti-trump sentiment. raise your hand. is it about trump for you on tuesday? raise your hand. okay. that s a democrat i m not. you re an independent. you re paying pack now,
they are serving and sacrificing. border security is national security. laura: some of our focus groups that we just did say it s a big political stunt. absolutely not. no, it s not. look, we have cartels that are trafficking people and drugs through our communities right now. i represent ranchers on the border. they have endorsed me and so have the border patrol agents. representing 15,000 agents. they know the dangerous activities happening every single day on the border. laura: birthright citizenship, an important issue. arizona hospitals are affected by this. migrant families, women come, have their children, automatic passport and american citizenship. your view? then we see the chinese coming over because there s a whole fraudulent way to do that. i appreciate the president bringing this up and the abuses of it. if we actually secure our border and crack down on the illegal immigration and close these loopholes we wouldn t be having this conversation. he s highlighting th
gran migrants are expected in the next month. president obama is not responding. we want to play this for you and get your reaction. they are even taking our brave troops away from their families, and the men and willing to make women of of the families are better than that. is this a political stunt in your mind, raise your mind. laura: raise your hand if you think there is no reason to have the u.s. military at our border, it s purely politics. it is politics. laura: hold on. we have to give everybody here a voice. yes, sir. it is purely politics and i believe this rhetoric is dangerous. we are the greatest country in the entire world and we are scared of a caravan full of folks who are coming to seek asylum. i feel like we could have better use of our troops time and resources, here in arizona, we have over 500 homeless youth. one in four children go hungry. i don t feel this is a great way to utilize our nation s resources.
