sanctuary state and the sheriff of spokane county in washington said the governor should be arrested for that because he is violating the law. what do you think? i agree with that sheriff. the chairman for the border security we stand united. i challenge each of these leaders in sanctuary areas and cities and states to look at their oath of office which says support the constitution. these things were leaders, use that lightly, are putting us on the front line, sheriffs on the southern border, border patrol, trying to make this safe for our community and beyond and you have sanctuary cities and states get through the line and see us. that is a strong disappointment for sheriffs and federal partners. david: you are on the front line and we wish you the best because
member robert. what are your thoughts on this. well, of course our thoughts and prayers go out. my sister a member of the police department. we need to protect our officers and have the best equipment and stop things like this from happening. the idea that we want to get rid of sanctuary cities because of isolated incidents such as this is just unconscionable. sanctuary cities allow individuals undocumented to be part of the workforce, to enrule? cool and go to social services and come out of shadows. this points for comprehensive immigration reform and while we are doing the government shutdown over the border wall funding use this as an opportunity tone sure that we re putting forward a comprehensive plan to address our immigration system. charles: robert, some would say all of those things that you just ticked off that you just named become a very enticing red carpet and it actually entices folks to come into this country illegally knowing that they can make it to one of these s
to country. nationalism is about a search, an obsession with power, power for the country and indeed for the strong man and so you associate the day with people like hungary, the authoritarians who have risen in our midst, they are almost a person who is considered nationalists. that s why this sends a worrying signal across the political landscape. in addition, wes, to the baggage that the word has, the president has some baggage himself when it comes to issues having to do with race. on april 18th, he tweeted about sanctuary cities, writing, there s a revolution going on in california, so many sanctuary areas want out of this ridiculous crime-infested and breeding concept. when tweeting about caravans, he said, act now, congress, or our country is being stolen. last august, of course, in the wake of the charlottesville riots, he said, sad to see the history and culture of our beautiful country being ripped
when the president used the word breeding in a tweet about california and immigration, his critics saw it as an example of racially charged language. the basic question, what was the president s intention in using that word? cnn s jim acosta asked that question, reading from the tweet that sent off the storm. can i ask you about a tweet that the president put out last week, he tweeted a lot over the weekend, but last week, he said he was talking about sanctuary cities in california, saying there was a revolution going on in california, so many sanctuary areas want out of this ridiculous crime infested and breeding concept. was he making a derogatory term about latinos, that they are prone to breeding?
memos when he left. it just isn t how it works. so, april, i want to ask you about today s press briefing. because it was a significant moment. you were talking to sarah sanders and asking about the controversial tweet by the president, the one where he wrote, there s a revolution going on in california, so many sanctuary areas, want out of this ridiculous crime infested and breeding concept. and everyone tried to understand what the word breeding could mean that was not a racist interpretation. and here is the exchange that you and jim had with sarah. when he used the word breeding, was he making a derogatory term about latinos in california, that they breed a lot, or that they re prone to breeding? no. he s talking about the problem itself, growing and getting bigger. what did he mean by breeding? again, the president has recognized this is a major problem and a lot of people, even in california, want to see the issue of sanctuary cities
