Course if you show up for their deportation or immigration hearing. So at the start of the Trump Administration lost Immigrant Kids, they didnt lose anybody. When hhs tried to check up on these kids with their sponsors, at times, illegal immigrant families themselves caring for the children, 1475 failed to take the calls or even respond to the government at all. So the Immigrant Kids arent lost. Their sponsors just havent connected with the hhs, or made themselves available. But the media want to misconstrue that as losing a kid, okay. Lets do that for a moment. Hypothetically lets just say that thats correct. Obama lost nearly three times the number of kids, the New York Times reporting a 2016 Inspector General report show that the federal government was able to reach only 84 of
children it had placed leaving 4,159 undercounted 4,159 unaccounted for. Correct me if im wrong, i dont remember any Media Lashing out at obama for losing kids or separating them from their families. In fact, obama and his Homeland Security secretary try to a few times tried to adopt a hardline on the Unaccompanied Minors when there was a huge rush at the border as you will recall back in 2014. Our direct message to the families in central america, do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it they will get sent back. Our message, to those who are coming here illegally, to those who are contemplating coming here illegally into south texas, is we will send you back. Laura one problem, they couldnt be sent home. They couldnt be deported
because of the insane Immigration Laws we currently have in place. By the way, which is why trump is right, the law has to change, Congress Must act. Not only to end this Unaccompanied Minor loophole, but The Catch And Release program as well as chain migration, asylum fraud, all of it. So if you want to know why this antitrump Media Narrative is being advanced at this time. Why . Its because trump is close to making good on his promise to transform our Immigration Laws for the better. Even the left realizes this issue is a winner for republicans. Tom friedman, who is a favorite of the global elite, obviously New York Times bestselling author. Even he this morning was recognizing this issue as a vulnerability for democrats. I think there are several things that are true that democrats have to wrestle with. We cannot take every immigrant in a world that is splitting between a world of order and
disorder. Laura wow. Now is not the time to go wobbly on immigration or embrace some type of blanket amnesty. There is one point that the left and the right should be able to agree on, especially given the recent media indignation. We all want children to be together, unified with their parents. So lets make that happen in the country of their origin. It is immoral to allow laws on the books that incentivize people to send their children alone into a foreign country or to frankly make a dangerous trip with their parents. And until those laws change, immigrant children will continue to be separated from their parents no matter what the president does now, and thats the angle. President trump was on a roll at a rally that just wrapped up in nashville hitting on some of these issues. Taking some shots at the dams over ms13. And of course, the ms13 ms13lover nancy pelosi. She loves ms13, can you imagine . Remember . I said they are animals and she said how dare you say that. Crying chuck wanted to have a lottery system. Do you think they are sending us their finest . So they put names and we picked the names and they come in and then we wonder why we have problems. We are not going to be a stupid country anymore. Laura im sorry, i love that montage. Lets discuss this into nights angle with the chairman of the american conservative union, matt, im not laughing for your name. We are not going to be stupid anymore. Chris on, another favorite of mine. Great to see both of you. Great to be here. Laura lets take it away
on this. The president obviously taking a strong stand on the Immigration Issue tonight. The democrats i think know they have some vulnerabilities here on the ms13 issue, the Unaccompanied Minor issue as i pointed out in the angle. Obama was sending back people, even a huffington post, we have a great headline from the huffington post. This is from March Of Last year. The hard truths about obamas deportation priorities. From 20092015, 56 of all immigrants were removed from the country had no criminal conviction. Preliminary data from 2016 when obama was still in office suggested this trend of Deporting Noncriminals continued. It goes on and on and obviously had to deal with the Unaccompanied Minors that he claimed were going to be sent back in only 3. 4 of them were ever deported. I dont think he was great on immigration. Ive said that before, i will say it again. I think you probably could have worked with congress to have comprehensive Immigration Reform in his first term and he didnt. And thats a failure of president obama, but that Doesnt ExcuseWhats Going On right now. I understand that the story about people children being lost is a little bit overblown. They cant get in touch. I get that part. But there is still this bit where Jeff Sessions is separating children from their families when those families are coming here through regular ports of entry, seeking asylum, and that i have a problem with. I think most americans who have any compassion would have a problem with that. Laura do you think criminals could be separated from their family . You obviously know that. They are every minute of every day. The criminalized people seeking asylum is where i draw the line. Laura they are all legitimate seekers . We have a duty i want matt to chime in. We have a duty to take care of children in a different way than we take care of adults. Thats from the floors decision, the judges and so forth putting that burden on american government. Thats fine, thats what we do, but part of that is separating
children from people who are trying toame the system. Sessions was very car on this, otherwise were just going have a massive flood of family units. We dont even know if they are actual families at the time. Family units crossing the border. This is what happened. Obama did not follow the law. When an adult crosses our border illegally he or she is breaking the law. The Attorney General has no choice but to follow the law and what chris and other democrats are saying is that as we take the adult and put them into custody, which means they go to jail, that somehow the kids should go to jail to. That would be insane and inhumane and as a country we simply do not do that. One come Kamala Harris and his other folks who have also had the job of Attorney General in their states it would be the same thing to say that she is separating parents from their children in california when parents commit crimes. It would be the same thing. You are conflating. No im not very yes you
are. When you commit a crime you go to a holding facility. Its the way it is. The difference here is that the Trump Administration has decided to treat Asylum Applicants as criminals and thats what i have a problem with. Laura its not Asylum Applicants. You want people to come here through regular ports of entry will Jeff Sessions has said he will treat his criminals. Laura its not just people applying for asylum. We are all thinking about asylum as the great caravan that showed up in san diego. Its all people. Remember, obama and jay johnson said in those clips that i think nobody remember i play them all the time on my radio show. They both said dont bring your children here, we cant process this and you will have to go home. Both of them said that, neither of them wallow through. And all but 3. 4 of people who crossed our border illegally,
not seeking asylum, crossed illegally, for all those years, 3. 4 were deported. That is a screwed up system. What president obama was doing by the statements was trying to discourage Mass Immigration of unaccompanied children to the country. Laura which is what sessions is doing. When he gets here hes whipping a baby out of his mothers arms. Laura worried about ripping babies away from others. Lets talk about the illegal immigrant wife who was interviewed on cnn today about whether she was upset about her husband being deported. Lets watch. I am not upset at our government due to the fact that i am a u. S. Citizen and that our laws come first. Our laws are broken and need to be fixed but i cant be met at trump for doing his job. Laura chris . [laughs] how many women did you have to do it how many immigrant
women did you have to interview to get that clip . I got to know. Laura its a cnn bite. Occasionally they stumble on the truth over there at cnn. No ones watching but occasionally they actually find someone who has the common sens sense. Her point is that obama her point is that donald trump is actually following the law. If you are here illegally as jay johnson said, You Dont Have he said we are not going to give your permission. You are not going to get it. You are violating our laws. Chris, go ahead. I get that. Again, i believe in law and order. I believe in proper immigration. We have all failed in creating a system where we have an immigration that addresses the markets that are driving people to this country every day. Laura lets get the perspective of senator mike lee of utah whose new book is
already a huge New York Times best seller. Its on my facebook and website. Written out of history, the forgotten founders who fought for government. Welcome senator. As always its great to see her. I think our founders would be shocked to see what has happened to this country. Obviously a whole different situation than our countrys founding. You heard the debate we just had. You heard the statistics. President obama said these people are going to have to go home, then they all getos day. They are relocated to centers anwe a ting check on them. A lot of them are going off the grid because they dont want to be deported, they dont want the kids to be deported. Its a perverse system which set up. Thats exactly what is bringing these people here. Thats exactly why these children are being separated from their parents. We had a government that refused to enforce the law and a government thats it we will deport you and then didnt. When that happens you end up being a magnet for illegal immigration. Thats objects all kinds of children to exploitation, abuse, assault in many cases. But make no mistake, that is the
cause. Laura approximately 90 of all removal orders, that means deportation orders each year result from a failure for people to show up at their hearing. They dont show up for their actual immigration hearing. Thats 90 of the Unaccompanied Minors are not showing up at hearings. So they come here, they know they are going to be able to stay here. What is the senate on the house cooking up . I heat, keep hearing about the administration is going to come out and agree to an amnesty with an end to chain migration. Its not quite the bob goodlatt goodlatte, Whats Going On . I would love to see it be the Bob Goodlatte bill. I think hes done a remarkable job of balancing competing interests. I hope they are not coming up with Something Like that cooked up in 2013. They told us we are coming up with a deal. It was rumored for many months, years in fact, that they were working on it. And it was about a thousand pages of something nobody had read. People voted for it anyway and then they switched it and replaced it with a different bill. I fear they might be doing the same thing and i think they remember the consequence. Laura the Freedom Caucus doesnt want it. They are to come out and said we dont want amnesty, but can you get something positive . You could end his chain migration. That is a huge amplifier of immigration in the country, nonmeritbased. Thats a big driver. Absolutely. Thats one of the things i like about the goodlatte proposal. It addresses that an addresses the daca situation. It does so in a responsible manner that shuts off the magnet. Laura i want to ask about the other news over the last few days, your colleague marco rubio said something i think interesting on abc this week. I would like your reaction, lets watch. It appears that there was an investigation out of the campaign but if certain individuals who have a history that we should be suspicious of that predate this president ial
campaign 201516. The fbi should look at people like that but they are not investigating the campaign. So you are saying President Trump was wrong . I have seen no evidence that those people were part of an investigation on the campaign. Laura your reaction . His final statement might be true. He may have seen no evidence of any spying on the trump campaign. It doesnt mean it didnt happen. I think its very difficult to prove that a dog didnt bark. I dont think he saying he didnt laura youve got rubio, we will play a sound bite later on from trey gowdy. There are a lot of republicans who seem to be working overtime. A lot of them didnt support the president , working overtime to build a bob mueller, the mueller team. I think from the very beginning there have been a lot of people go up in surprise. Great to see you as always. Congrats on the book. Great read as always. Andy mccarthy is here next to
tell us why there is now no doubt that team obama spied on the Term Campaign, and more from the fbi agents who want to testify on how politics is destroying the bureau. Thats next. Review Andy Mccarthy says theres absolutely no question that the Obama Administration spied on the Term Campaign. The New York Times is trying to deflect from the news tonight with new information leaked from the doj suggesting that the president wanted Jeff Sessions to unrecuse himself from the russia probe and take control of it. Joining us now Andy Mccarthy along with attorney and democratic strategist scott bolden. Andy, a lot to get to hear. There are a lot of people coming out, rubio and now others in trey gowdy saying this whole thing about spying is kind of ridiculous. Lets watch. I am even more convinced that the fbi did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got in that it has nothing to do with donald trump. I think when the president finds out what happened is going to be not just mine, hes going to be glad that we have an fbi that took seriously what they heard. He was never the target. It russia the target. Laura i got lots of text on my phone saying whats wrong with trey gowdy . Nothing, hes perfect. Laura trey gowdy, we want you to come in the show. Hes never been on the show. Maybe now i know why hes not coming on. Theres no question that they spied on the campaign. Laura he and rubio. A lot of people are saying it never happened. Judge napolitano on fox tonight. What they are saying is what they think what the fbi did was appropriate. What they are saying is they had these guys they had concerns abouo had some russia baggage and it w appropriate for the fbi to check that out. I dont think anyone in his right mind would disagree with that. I think the question is how you go about doing that. Laura they are saying they were looking at russia. Russia trying to metal with our system. Didnt matter a democrat, they would have done the same thing. It happened to be trump, carter page on his list. If you were looking at a
corporation and you thought the corporation was being corrupted by three people you would go to the ceo and say i think we have a problem here, we need your cooperation. What they did instead was sent colbert operatives to pry information out. It well be that President Trump, was not personally the target. Laura why didnt they do the briefing . Why didnt they go to the head of the campaign. Paul manafort, its not going to go to him. Why didnt they go to President Trump . I will use your example. Im not starting at the top. Im starting at the source. What they did with his informant was went and talked and did outreach to two or three leaders in the campaign to test not whether trump was colluding with russia, but whether russia was doing outreach to the Term Campaign. How deep they may have gotten in there. And what would you want the fbi to do . And less you put a political overlay on it, they are doing their job. They were trying to protect americans and have the g. O. P. Would criticize this institution is if its in Subtype Of Deep State even in 2017. Even in 2016. You would be cool with this at this with the Obama Campaign . I would be cool if the fbi was protecting our democracy and doing their job. How dare us. The bush 2008 Justice Department and fbi send informants into the obama 2008 campaign. Go into the campaign. You are fine with that . It is the least intrusive
