Gingrich: Dems Wants to Use Migrant Kids as an Excuse for an Open Border

‘The president has the right position, which is yes, we want to keep children with their families’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "Mr. Speaker, you did point out that the optics on this whole immigration issue were terrible. That Ronald Reagan would have picked up the first time he saw a child crying on television, he would have acted. How much damage was done to the president through this whether it was deserved or undeserved? Optics matter. What do you think?"
GINGRICH: "Look, I think it hurting him briefly. I think he figured out that there was not a sustainable policy. He signed an executive order. Oddly enough, the very Democrats who want him to act came back immediately and didn’t like the fact that he acted. But -- but the president has the right position, which is yes, we want to keep children with their families, but we also want to control the border. The Democrats want to use the children as an excuse to go to an open border where tens of millions of people could flood into the U.S.. Remember, there has been a huge increase because of the cartels and because of the Mexican government. There's been an enormous increase in the number of people coming out of Central America. And even the Obama administration had a zero tolerance policy. And you can find quote after quote of the Obama administration leadership saying we’re not going to let people come across the border illegally."
