Jim Acosta Rips DeSantis in Debate With Republican CNN Analyst: ‘This Is Not Owning The Libs, This Is Hurting The Kids’

ACOSTA Alice the White ░░░░░░░░ calling this cruel It ░░░░░░░░ I mean it sounds ░░░░░░░░ from just listening everybody ░░░░░░░░ many of these migrants ░░░░░░░░ misled about where they ░░░░░░░░ being taken They were ░░░░░░░░ into these buses and ░░░░░░░░ these planes Is this ░░░░░░░░ the best way for ░░░░░░░░ to shine the light ░░░░░░░░ this issue STEWART Look ░░░░░░░░ s cruel is the ░░░░░░░░ that the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ had their head in ░░░░░░░░ sand on this for ░░░░░░░░ And the days of ░░░░░░░░ playing Baghdad Bob with ░░░░░░░░ crisis at the border ░░░░░░░░ over Look when you ░░░░░░░░ policies in place with ░░░░░░░░ administration with regard to ░░░░░░░░ in Mexico and Title ░░░░░░░░ which sends a welcome ░░░░░░░░ to immigrants to come ░░░░░░░░ this country you have ░░░░░░░░ obligation to make sure ░░░░░░░░ they are processed and ░░░░░░░░ care of properly And ░░░░░░░░ they come into this ░░░░░░░░ the border towns of ░░░░░░░░ and Arizona and also ░░░░░░░░ of Florida they should ░░░░░░░░ be subjected to the ░░░░░░░░ burden of caring for ░░░░░░░░ people simply on the ░░░░░░░░ of proximity So I ░░░░░░░░ the proper thing to ░░░░░░░░ is this is an ░░░░░░░░ problem They do not ░░░░░░░░ to deal with this ░░░░░░░░ I think the governors ░░░░░░░░ correct in making sure ░░░░░░░░ this is an American ░░░░░░░░ and let other states ░░░░░░░░ bear the burden especially ░░░░░░░░ they are sanctuary cities ░░░░░░░░ states in many cases ░░░░░░░░ The border Alice was ░░░░░░░░ secure during the Trump ░░░░░░░░ They separated children from ░░░░░░░░ mothers during the Trump ░░░░░░░░ as a deterrent because ░░░░░░░░ border was not secure ░░░░░░░░ that point Why weren ░░░░░░░░ DeSantis and Abbott putting ░░░░░░░░ kids on buses then ░░░░░░░░ The point is the ░░░░░░░░ should not be on ░░░░░░░░ specific place or any ░░░░░░░░ state or city And ░░░░░░░░ crisis has gotten tremendously ░░░░░░░░ The Customs and Border ░░░░░░░░ are on track to ░░░░░░░░ with 2 3 million ░░░░░░░░ immigrants coming into this ░░░░░░░░ The numbers are simply ░░░░░░░░ And it is just ░░░░░░░░ much for these border ░░░░░░░░ to handle ACOSTA And ░░░░░░░░ do you think the ░░░░░░░░ House is doing enough ░░░░░░░░ this Should they get ░░░░░░░░ engaged Do they need ░░░░░░░░ go after these states ░░░░░░░░ a stop to this ░░░░░░░░ I think they absolutely ░░░░░░░░ go after these governors ░░░░░░░░ Look this is disgusting ░░░░░░░░ makes my blood boil ░░░░░░░░ this is personal to ░░░░░░░░ and so many Americans ░░░░░░░░ this country As you ░░░░░░░░ Jim I am an ░░░░░░░░ And there but for ░░░░░░░░ grace of God go ░░░░░░░░ and my family This ░░░░░░░░ is on this They ░░░░░░░░ processing these folks at ░░░░░░░░ border And this is ░░░░░░░░ is so vile twisted ░░░░░░░░ corrupt about what these ░░░░░░░░ are doing The Border ░░░░░░░░ and DHS agents that ░░░░░░░░ these folks have now ░░░░░░░░ them go and they ░░░░░░░░ going to go to ░░░░░░░░ their family members were ░░░░░░░░ processing occurred They are ░░░░░░░░ being lied to They ░░░░░░░░ these governors are being ░░░░░░░░ They are acting akin ░░░░░░░░ human traffickers and abductors ░░░░░░░░ are telling these migrants ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ reunited with their family ░░░░░░░░ They are telling these ░░░░░░░░ that they have jobs ░░░░░░░░ for them that they ░░░░░░░░ housing ready for them ░░░░░░░░ are telling these migrants ░░░░░░░░ that if they don ░░░░░░░░ get on these buses ░░░░░░░░ their asylum claims might ░░░░░░░░ be heard I have ░░░░░░░░ to them These are ░░░░░░░░ most vulnerable people that ░░░░░░░░ in our society They ░░░░░░░░ not here illegally by ░░░░░░░░ way We have a ░░░░░░░░ in this country that ░░░░░░░░ if you are afraid ░░░░░░░░ your life you can ░░░░░░░░ into this country and ░░░░░░░░ are coming through legal ░░░░░░░░ of entry They are ░░░░░░░░ sneaking in They are ░░░░░░░░ themselves to Border Patrol ░░░░░░░░ is the process under ░░░░░░░░ law And they are ░░░░░░░░ asylum So these governors ░░░░░░░░ putrid corrupt vile I ░░░░░░░░ they re criminal as ░░░░░░░░ And they are treating ░░░░░░░░ migrants like trash like ░░░░░░░░ class citizens And they ░░░░░░░░ saying to them we ░░░░░░░░ you We don t ░░░░░░░░ you And I believe ░░░░░░░░ this is a huge ░░░░░░░░ to all Latino voters ░░░░░░░░ this country to all ░░░░░░░░ voters in this country ░░░░░░░░ out Today it s ░░░░░░░░ migrants Tomorrow it s ░░░░░░░░ to be you ACOSTA ░░░░░░░░ do you think Alice ░░░░░░░░ out Should Republicans watch ░░░░░░░░ over this STEWART I ░░░░░░░░ Democrats need to finally ░░░░░░░░ out and acknowledge there ░░░░░░░░ a crisis at the ░░░░░░░░ and do what we ░░░░░░░░ to secure the border ░░░░░░░░ enforce the existing immigration ░░░░░░░░ Look Customs and Border ░░░░░░░░ numbers show that nearly ░░░░░░░░ percent of these people ░░░░░░░░ economic migrants So they ░░░░░░░░ t qualify and don ░░░░░░░░ are not classified as ░░░░░░░░ asylum for reasons that ░░░░░░░░ in the Northern Triangle ░░░░░░░░ But they have the ░░░░░░░░ to ask for it ░░░░░░░░ that s what they ░░░░░░░░ doing And then they ░░░░░░░░ going to be processed ░░░░░░░░ if that s the ░░░░░░░░ Alice if they are ░░░░░░░░ when they have their ░░░░░░░░ dates and they make ░░░░░░░░ assumption or they make ░░░░░░░░ claim that no you ░░░░░░░░ not going to be ░░░░░░░░ in here because you ░░░░░░░░ not an asylee per ░░░░░░░░ law then they will ░░░░░░░░ removed But that process ░░░░░░░░ something that they deserve ░░░░░░░░ human beings coming to ░░░░░░░░ country to seek asylum ░░░░░░░░ these governors are cheating ░░░░░░░░ out of that process ░░░░░░░░ They will still have ░░░░░░░░ opportunity to do so ░░░░░░░░ the bottom line here ░░░░░░░░ that these border states ░░░░░░░░ border towns should not ░░░░░░░░ subjected to the undue ░░░░░░░░ of this and we ░░░░░░░░ I remind you President ░░░░░░░░ and the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ flown people under cover ░░░░░░░░ darkness to New York ░░░░░░░░ and elsewhere across this ░░░░░░░░ under similar circumstances but ░░░░░░░░ But there s a ░░░░░░░░ in place You know ░░░░░░░░ they put them on ░░░░░░░░ plane and they land ░░░░░░░░ a different jurisdiction different ░░░░░░░░ different town different city ░░░░░░░░ people on the other ░░░░░░░░ know that they re ░░░░░░░░ This is just dumping ░░░░░░░░ in you know on ░░░░░░░░ s Vineyard or in ░░░░░░░░ D C in front ░░░░░░░░ the Vice President s ░░░░░░░░ to own the libs ░░░░░░░░ is not owning the ░░░░░░░░ This is hurting the ░░░░░░░░ And here s the ░░░░░░░░ that I you know ░░░░░░░░ Republicans like to talk ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are socialists and ░░░░░░░░ on You know these ░░░░░░░░ in many cases Venezuelan ░░░░░░░░ seekers people who are ░░░░░░░░ a socialist dictatorship Why ░░░░░░░░ these Republican governors thumbing ░░░░░░░░ nose at people who ░░░░░░░░ coming and fleeing from ░░░░░░░░ socialist dictatorship when you ░░░░░░░░ after Democrats as socialists ░░░░░░░░ I think a lot ░░░░░░░░ be done differently I ░░░░░░░░ the most important thing ░░░░░░░░ your point Jim there ░░░░░░░░ be more cooperation between ░░░░░░░░ the planes and buses ░░░░░░░░ coming from and going ░░░░░░░░ to help make sure ░░░░░░░░ is assistance on the ░░░░░░░░ end But at this ░░░░░░░░ right now this is ░░░░░░░░ way these governors want ░░░░░░░░ deal with it And ░░░░░░░░ nothing else it has ░░░░░░░░ called attention to this ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are talking about ░░░░░░░░ crisis at the border ░░░░░░░░ they never have before ░░░░░░░░ Well we ve always ░░░░░░░░ about the crisis of ░░░░░░░░ border And we re ░░░░░░░░ the ones who have ░░░░░░░░ pushed comprehensive immigration reform ░░░░░░░░ Alice you know this ░░░░░░░░ ve talked about this ░░░░░░░░ s always been Republicans ░░░░░░░░ have shut the door ░░░░░░░░ this And there s ░░░░░░░░ couple of points that ░░░░░░░░ want to make First ░░░░░░░░ all you re absolutely ░░░░░░░░ These are people that ░░░░░░░░ fleeing these dictatorships And ░░░░░░░░ s so ironic is ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Venezuelans ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Cubans ░░░░░░░░ lot of Colombians too ░░░░░░░░ are supportive of DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ at least were and ░░░░░░░░ were in the last ░░░░░░░░ as well But now ░░░░░░░░ caution my immigrant Latino ░░░░░░░░ and sisters in these ░░░░░░░░ Venezuelans Colombians Cubans look ░░░░░░░░ what your governor is ░░░░░░░░ perhaps to your familia ░░░░░░░░ re kicking them out ░░░░░░░░ the country out of ░░░░░░░░ state would like to ░░░░░░░░ them out of the ░░░░░░░░ because they don t ░░░░░░░░ that they have the ░░░░░░░░ dignity that we all ░░░░░░░░ that they should do ░░░░░░░░ that they should have ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ to be a huge ░░░░░░░░ on behalf of Republicans ░░░░░░░░ seeking the Latino vote ░░░░░░░░ the second thing I ░░░░░░░░ say is the Biden ░░░░░░░░ Republicans love to talk ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration doing ░░░░░░░░ in the cover of ░░░░░░░░ You know what they ░░░░░░░░ doing Alice in the ░░░░░░░░ of night They were ░░░░░░░░ the families that were ░░░░░░░░ brutally separated under the ░░░░░░░░ Administration This by the ░░░░░░░░ Jim is no better ░░░░░░░░ is akin to that ░░░░░░░░ of family separation It ░░░░░░░░ egregious It is inhumane ░░░░░░░░ it is cruel STEWART ░░░░░░░░ I think more than ░░░░░░░░ what we re doing ░░░░░░░░ calling the Democrats bluff ░░░░░░░░ President Harris says the ░░░░░░░░ is secure Mayorkas says ░░░░░░░░ border secure it s ░░░░░░░░ secure And these sanctuary ░░░░░░░░ and states say they ░░░░░░░░ welcome these people And ░░░░░░░░ are not CARDONA They ░░░░░░░░ welcoming these people With ░░░░░░░░ arms by the way ░░░░░░░░ Maybe we can all ░░░░░░░░ on one thing which ░░░░░░░░ don t use kids ░░░░░░░░ make a political point ░░░░░░░░ t use kids to ░░░░░░░░ the libs That s ░░░░░░░░ thing That s the ░░░░░░░░ that I think a ░░░░░░░░ of people disagree with ░░░░░░░░ right we re not ░░░░░░░░ to solve this debate ░░░░░░░░ But we ll do ░░░░░░░░ again.”
