Fmr. Acting Director of ICE: Trump Has Been Talking About This Crisis and People Ignored It

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "So when the President tweets these words, what he’s saying, is he wrong?"

VITIELLO: "He’s saying that this is — the situation is bad. He’s been talking about this crisis for weeks and weeks. For a long time people ignored it. People who could do something about it have ignored it."

BLITZER: "But when he says many of these illegal aliens are living far better now than where they came from?"

VITIELLO: "They're not living in those places, they're only there for a short amount of time so they can get processed and put into system and moved down the road. All of the people that come with their children are being released."
