Julian Castro Accuses Don Lemon of Using ‘Right-Wing Talking Points’ About ‘Open Borders’

‘I’m disappointed that some folks, including some folks on the stage, have taken the bait’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CASTRO: “You know, if you’ll elect me president, you’re not electing me to follow. You’re electing me to lead. And open borders is a right-wing talking point and frankly I’m disappointed that some folks, including some folks on the stage, have taken the bait. The only way that we’re going to guarantee that we don’t have family separations in this country again is to repeal section 1325 of the immigration nationality act. That’s the law that this administration is using to incarcerate migrant parents and physically separate them from their children. My plan would make sure that we put undocumented immigrants on a pathway to citizenship, that we do a 21st century marshal plan with countries so we can get to the root of this challenge so people can find safety and opportunity at home instead of having to come to the United States.”
