Batya Ungar-Sargon on Deportations: ‘We Do Not Owe Them the Same Thing, It Has to Mean Something to Be an American’

EXCERPT:

UNGAR-SARGON: “I don't know why the Democrats are not angry about that.”
MILLS: “So, why do you appeal for anybody else in that due process?”
UNGAR-SARGON: “Because they're not citizens, we do not owe them the same thing. It has to remain something to be an American.”
PHILLIP: “Batya, hold on a second, I mean, I get the passion, but I really think it's important to really scrutinize what you just said. The idea that people do not have the right to the processes of the law just because they are not citizens is your opinion, but that is not how the law works. You know that, right?”
UNGAR-SARGON: “The president has the right to deport people.”
