Bill de Blasio: Mass Deportations Are Just Not American

CABRERA That s the ░░░░░░░░ for sanctuary city policies ░░░░░░░░ example when you were ░░░░░░░░ during the first Trump ░░░░░░░░ you mentioned opposing some ░░░░░░░░ these controversial moves like ░░░░░░░░ Muslim travel ban De ░░░░░░░░ Correct CABRERA for example ░░░░░░░░ what do you tell ░░░░░░░░ what should Democrats do ░░░░░░░░ are now facing threat ░░░░░░░░ arrest or even prosecution ░░░░░░░░ impeding enforcement of these ░░░░░░░░ immigration policies De Blasio ░░░░░░░░ I think we have ░░░░░░░░ have faith that our ░░░░░░░░ continues to function I ░░░░░░░░ the bluster of some ░░░░░░░░ those executive orders the ░░░░░░░░ day some of which ░░░░░░░░ clearly unconstitutional I m ░░░░░░░░ belittling the fact that ░░░░░░░░ president will get some ░░░░░░░░ the things done he ░░░░░░░░ But in the end ░░░░░░░░ court system will decide ░░░░░░░░ lot of this If ░░░░░░░░ track record of the ░░░░░░░░ 4 years when he ░░░░░░░░ president is any indication ░░░░░░░░ s going to lose ░░░░░░░░ fair amount of time ░░░░░░░░ s clearly going to ░░░░░░░░ on birthright citizenship in ░░░░░░░░ view So states and ░░░░░░░░ saying Hey guess what ░░░░░░░░ are given the power ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution to govern ░░░░░░░░ own folks And we ░░░░░░░░ making decisions about public ░░░░░░░░ This is something I ░░░░░░░░ needs to be talked ░░░░░░░░ more Not asking documentation ░░░░░░░░ is actually how you ░░░░░░░░ public safety Now look ░░░░░░░░ someone commits a crime ░░░░░░░░ forbid an undocumented person ░░░░░░░░ a crime there s ░░░░░░░░ process If they re ░░░░░░░░ they should be out ░░░░░░░░ here That s what ░░░░░░░░ York City law says ░░░░░░░░ think Americans believe in ░░░░░░░░ process That s another ░░░░░░░░ here I think Trump ░░░░░░░░ likes to leave out ░░░░░░░░ step and say If ░░░░░░░░ re accused therefore you ░░░░░░░░ guilty Well that goes ░░░░░░░░ American values for 250 ░░░░░░░░ We ve always believed ░░░░░░░░ due process I think ░░░░░░░░ have to go back ░░░░░░░░ the fact that he ░░░░░░░░ vulnerable many times in ░░░░░░░░ first term He s ░░░░░░░░ to be vulnerable again ░░░░░░░░ the court system and ░░░░░░░░ the court of public ░░░░░░░░ CABRERA Well speaking of ░░░░░░░░ court of public opinion ░░░░░░░░ ran on these hardline ░░░░░░░░ policies De Blasio Yeah ░░░░░░░░ He won And there ░░░░░░░░ recent polling that shows ░░░░░░░░ majority of Americans agree ░░░░░░░░ some of the broader ░░░░░░░░ approach to this like ░░░░░░░░ deportation issue specifically Now ░░░░░░░░ some of the certain ░░░░░░░░ of immigration maybe unpopular ░░░░░░░░ ICE being able to ░░░░░░░░ out deportations at churches ░░░░░░░░ Blasio Right CABRERA or ░░░░░░░░ or hospitals there is ░░░░░░░░ on that one You ░░░░░░░░ recall during the first ░░░░░░░░ term there was public ░░░░░░░░ for some of the ░░░░░░░░ extreme immigration policies De ░░░░░░░░ Yeah CABRERA family separations ░░░░░░░░ what if that public ░░░░░░░░ doesn t materialize this ░░░░░░░░ Then what do Democrats ░░░░░░░░ De Blasio I think ░░░░░░░░ did materialize for organic ░░░░░░░░ So I hear your ░░░░░░░░ but I want to ░░░░░░░░ that for example the ░░░░░░░░ unaccompanied minors And I ░░░░░░░░ to Tornillo Texas and ░░░░░░░░ one of those detention ░░░░░░░░ for those kids Americans ░░░░░░░░ outraged It doesn t ░░░░░░░░ our values to see ░░░░░░░░ separated under any circumstance ░░░░░░░░ believe in due process ░░░░░░░░ do not like the ░░░░░░░░ of the knock at ░░░░░░░░ door and government authorities ░░░░░░░░ people away So I ░░░░░░░░ what s happened is ░░░░░░░░ frustration that people felt ░░░░░░░░ their economic reality or ░░░░░░░░ frustration they felt about ░░░░░░░░ disorder at the border ░░░░░░░░ was real that was ░░░░░░░░ frustration that s going ░░░░░░░░ be quickly replaced I ░░░░░░░░ by people saying Wait ░░░░░░░░ minute We never signed ░░░░░░░░ for actual mass deportation ░░░░░░░░ and something that looks ░░░░░░░░ a police state That ░░░░░░░░ just not American Americans ░░░░░░░░ a very strong libertarian ░░░░░░░░ left right center So ░░░░░░░░ think what s happening ░░░░░░░░ in the first days ░░░░░░░░ sounds great We re ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░ who committed crimes who ░░░░░░░░ t want to get ░░░░░░░░ of someone who actually ░░░░░░░░ a crime of course ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ into something much more ░░░░░░░░ and that will push ░░░░░░░░ lot of buttons and ░░░░░░░░ people feel more and ░░░░░░░░ uncomfortable Last time Trump ░░░░░░░░ not hear that at ░░░░░░░░ When people started to ░░░░░░░░ including folks who even ░░░░░░░░ with him in some ░░░░░░░░ but they thought it ░░░░░░░░ inhumane they thought it ░░░░░░░░ anti family values When ░░░░░░░░ leaders started to object ░░░░░░░░ had a tenure for ░░░░░░░░ of that It s ░░░░░░░░ going to be worse ░░░░░░░░ time.”
