EXCERPT:

VILLARAIGOSA: "I can tell you this. It’s immoral to divide mothers from their children in the way that they are beginning to do now. There’s been a lot of issue about whether or not this is consistent with what President Obama or Bush did. Yes, both deported a lot of people. They focused primarily, though not always, on serious criminals. They have expanded the definition of a criminal offense to include crossing the border multiple times to come back to your family, to include using fake documents so when you are stopped that you are not deported, to include using driving without a driver’s license when you couldn’t get a driver’s license. Look, why don’t we fix this broken immigration system, Stephanie — both Democrats and Republicans agree that it’s broken — instead of terrorizing families, and dividing them in the way that they are doing here today and across the country.”
