One last question. >> thanks. follow up on the issue of immigration judges. why is the president so opposed to an increase in the number of immigration judges when it would expedite the asylum process and expedite deportation? >> what the president would be like to -- he would like to see us secure the border and people work through the system, through the ports of entry so were not dealing with things on the back end. we want to stop the problem before it starts. thats what the president is str...

To the border and ask for asylum, right? the numbers of those who are non-u.s. citizens who approach or cross the border number in less than 10% of those who are noncitizens who come into the united states. what is the process, are they being allowed to go through the asylum process, what are you seeing with the cases so far? >> i should say anecdotedly i have a book called "safe haven in america" coming out where i discuss profiled matters of defection and espionage and asylum. asylum law is ve...

Into this country unlawfully and release them into this country, so well never be able to track them and get them back. >> 75% show up at trial now. one of the programs the trump administration canceled at appointments of 90%. ill come back to you, laura coates, the law is a mess, the congress has done nothing, we cannot have an open border, you must enforce the law. how we enforce it, you may not like. settle it at the polls, not at the courts. >> the key word here is the word lawful. the presu...

You heard it yourself. since may 24th interviewing parents at the courthouse and spoken to 381 of them. we can not confirm that any clients have been reunited with the children. everyday we pass another day that the clients are not going to speak or see their childrefo have and the amount of people we need to get through and connect with legal counsel and make sure they have what they need to go through immigration case and find their children, its going to be a long drawn out process because th...

Finding another opportunity and safe space for their kids, they might not go through process you want. they may forget to dot an i or cross a t. they may just be running to safety. how do we solve the problem? it is not by calling me the queen of high per bow lee, we tried to separate them so by the time we detain them, they will see it as an acceptable solution. what you have tried wasnt working, lets come together and have a north american convention and figure out what to do to succeed? >> i ...

The question. unless you say is the economy better for you right now? i think that we dont have a deeper insight into whether or not people want him to be impeached which is important because it is a political process and going to come down to votes and popularity. >> im going to make two points, one which backs you up and one that doesnt. huge partisan divide. 88% believe says he should not and 81 believes he should. democrat cats take the antiand republican this take the pro. here is what does...

This is not the america, michael, you and i learned about from our parents and grandparents. a welcoming, loving country. that is why i believe that people of all stripes were aghast at what they were witnessing. >> i agree with the statement as you framed it. i also worry that those images and sounds from the kids have obscured the very real issue that we have a problem on the border. there are folks coming here and not playing by the rules and that cant get lost in the analysis. >> you know wh...

Basically have a destabilized human rights crisis proceeding moving forward. the executive order is inadequate. first, it has too many contingencies and does not show enough leadership in terms of the reunification of families. secondly, it does not provide enough direction to providing increased transparency, increased due process, and ultima ultimately more specifics as far as stabilizing an immigration process and an asylum process that both americans are entitled to as well as foreigners. th...

We reunite those over 2300 children to their parents. >> i hear what youre saying, but i guess im asking for specifics. if you think you have the answer how to reunite the families, what is the answer? >> well, we know what doesnt work. what doesnt work is forced family internment, which is exactly what the trump administration, as well as the paul ryan compromise bill does. it would create a scenario where all the family is detained together indefinitely, but if you want solutions, there was a ...

President to conduct himself in a manner that makes this the america that everyone in the world sees. let the television cameras go in, mr. president. let them document whats really going on. and then youll see that you have done nothing. >> does something need to be done, however, to deter illegal immigration at the southern border? >> of course. we need to have strong policies, but you dont separate mothers and children. you put them through the asylum process if theyre seeking asylum, and eig...
