Jennings: America Wanted ‘Deportation Policy,’ This Is Not Controversial

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "Not only did people know it, it's overwhelmingly popular. Poll after poll after poll, Americans wanted this policy."

PHILLIP: "Which policy exactly?"

JENNINGS: "Deportations."

PHILLIP: "Mass deportations?"

JENNINGS: "Absolutely. And even Hispanic Americans wanted it, a majority of Hispanic Americans wanted it as well. It's just not controversial. Everybody's trying to make this controversial. It's not controversial. A couple things. Number one, presidents always deport people. Barack Obama deported 3 million people. This is not controversial."

PHILLIP: "Yeah. Actually — "

JENNINGS: "And on top of that one more issue, there's 1.3 to 1.6 million people who've already received deportation orders from a court. They've already gotten due process. That's a good place to start. Not controversial."
