HYPOCRISY: Democrats talking about the border · Brett Keane and Eve Show

• 0:02
  Came back from the border. I LED a trip.
• 0:04
  I went to the border. Now we're here at the border, on
• 0:07
  the front lines joining us. Now from the border, I went down
• 0:10
  to the border. I went down there immediately.
• 0:12
  I. Was down there.
• 0:13
  With a group. Of 20 mayors.
• 0:16
  I went to the border, the lingeries that I sat.
• 0:19
  With went. Down to the.
• 0:20
  Border a couple times. Awful detention facilities that
• 0:23
  I've been to. I've spent the day in
• 0:25
  Brownsville, so guys, we're going to go to the.
• 0:27
  Border to do the book club you're.
• 0:29
  Not a detained We have a team here to bring a light as to
• 0:32
  what's happening. 10s of thousands of people are expected
• 0:36
  to protest in all 50 states. In coordinated protests.
• 0:39
  They formed a human chain. In the middle of the road they
• 0:43
  spread. Out a pile of baby onesies.
• 0:50
  See the way I. Got my eyes watering up.
• 0:52
  Just think I'm going to have to hand this off.
• 0:56
  Yeah. I cannot unfeel what I
• 1:02
  experienced. I refuse to.
• 1:05
  Not your fault, Mr. Speaker. We do have a crisis at our
• 1:07
  border. It is one of morality.
• 1:10
  I cannot. Stress this enough.
• 1:12
  It is not your fault. No child ever has to suffer.
• 1:16
  We need to save these kids. Look at her.
• 1:18
  She really cares. We're being called these names
• 1:22
  under an American flag. I told you that they would feel
• 1:32
  completely dry, got up on this ladder and immediately started
• 1:35
  crying. This is a very, a very
• 1:38
  overwhelming thing to see. So I walked down the road.
• 1:41
  I climbed the ladder and I looked over the fence.
• 1:43
  Let's cut to the chase. This is about racism.
• 1:45
  I'm addressing the. White elephant in the room.
• 1:48
  This is pure and simple racism. That's all this is.
• 1:52
  He's hoping that the people who support him will be ginned up
• 1:56
  and and and and running to the polls to make sure that brown
• 2:01
  people don't come into America. Those people who are supporting
• 2:04
  what he's doing here are racist. Period.
• 2:08
  You keep. Using the horde, I don't think.
• 2:11
  It means what you think it means.
• 2:12
  Who cares about the Trump voters?
• 2:13
  If you still support this president after his racism,
• 2:16
  after putting kids in cages, you're not going to change.
• 2:21
  You're for God. I don't care about you.
• 2:23
  Now what's happening at the border is racist.
• 2:28
  Securing the border. That was a dog whistle to
• 2:30
  certain constituents in the Republican base that did not
• 2:33
  want brown people crossing the border, did not want the
• 2:36
  Browning of the United States. Black immigrants from the from
• 2:39
  the Caribbean, from from the continent of Africa are equally
• 2:43
  equally afraid. Republicans who want to get
• 2:46
  reelected and they're afraid of their primaries.
• 2:48
  And they recognize that many of their constituents do not see
• 2:51
  these children who are being sexually assaulted and worse at
• 2:54
  the border, and they don't see them as humans.
• 2:56
  Flat out disgusting, inhumane and just depraved.
• 3:00
  A moral vandalism on the ideals of our country.
• 3:03
  Donald Trump has a dark heart when it comes to immigrants.
• 3:06
  Odious to, basically. Everyone's moral intuition, what
• 3:09
  I saw, has haunted me. There's no way that you can.
• 3:11
  Defend this. Mortifying the new moral low.
• 3:15
  State sponsored government sponsored violence and I'm
• 3:17
  ashamed of our government. Cruelty was the plan saw the
• 3:21
  brutality and inhumanity, the meeting of malevolence.
• 3:25
  Cruelty. I think that this is Donald
• 3:27
  Trump's Katrina, and it's even worse.
• 3:29
  I. Want to flag a PC?
• 3:30
  Here at nbcnews.com, 24 immigrants have died in ICE
• 3:32
  custody during the Trump. Administration I want.
• 3:34
  To ask you what we know that we know.
• 3:36
  If I want to ask. You How many migrants have died
• 3:38
  under President Biden? Texas morgues are reportedly
• 3:43
  overflowing as migrants, including young children, are
• 3:46
  dying in Eagle Pass, TX. Rows of makeshift crosses mark
• 3:50
  the final resting place of unidentified migrants, and the
• 3:53
  morgues in those border towns are running out of space, the
• 3:57
  remains of the dead now overflowing into the morgues
• 4:00
  parking lot where 5 refrigerated trucks hold 260 bodies and
• 4:04
  growing by the day. Do you know how many died?
• 4:06
  I do not. You do not.
• 4:08
  Of course you don't 853. 2021 What happens?
• 4:12
  You get in office and that Red line are dead bodies.
• 4:16
  What do you say to the Texas farmers and ranchers who find
• 4:20
  pregnant ladies dead on their property?
• 4:22
  Who find toddlers dead on their property?
• 4:24
  What do you say to them? I don't care.
• 4:27
  US Border Patrol agents are holding migrants in outdoor
• 4:30
  cages amidst a record setting heat wave.
• 4:33
  More than 100 migrants have died from heat at the border so far
• 4:37
  this year, 13 alone in the past week. 3 year old migrant died in
• 4:42
  US custody this week. Kyle died yesterday in Border
• 4:45
  Patrol custody. It's actually the 2nd.
• 4:47
  Cindy trailer now tied to the deaths of 53 men, women and
• 4:51
  potentially children left packed inside.
• 4:53
  Children were still being kept in said cages.
• 4:56
  Families were still being separated at the border.
• 4:58
  While the policy of separating families no longer exists, the
• 5:01
  practice continues under the watch of the Biden
• 5:04
  administration. Where is the 24/7 wall to wall
• 5:08
  24 hour fury? Don't let it.
• 5:12
  Let it get me. Down.
• 5:14
  Why? Why go?
• 5:16
  To a border. State and not.
• 5:17
  Fix it the. Border because they're more
• 5:19
  important than going on. In September, more than 269,000
• 5:24
  migrants encountered at the southern border, the most in a
• 5:27
  single month ever in a year that saw nearly two and a half
• 5:31
  million, also a record. Last 30-4 months.
• 5:34
  We've got 1.6 million known godaways.
• 5:36
  We've had 70,000 people in the last two years that have crossed
• 5:40
  our southern border, that have been released in the United
• 5:42
  States, most of them fighting age.
• 5:43
  Men from Iran, from Iraq, from Syria on the terror watch list
• 5:48
  skyrocketed to 172, up from 98 last year, 16 the year before
• 5:55
  and just three. Men, women and.
• 5:59
  Children pushing Mexican? Soldiers out of the way.
• 6:01
  In an. Attempt to enter the US The
• 6:03
  Homeland Security Department's internal watchdog says the
• 6:06
  agency lost track of 177,000 migrants inside the US An
• 6:12
  Arizona sheriff is sounding the alarm as border officials
• 6:15
  release migrants into the streets.
• 6:17
  Officials. Near Eagle Pass have been.
• 6:20
  Ordered to. Push migrants back.
• 6:22
  Into the Rio Grande. Raise your hand if govern if
• 6:26
  your government plan would provide coverage for
• 6:28
  undocumented immigrants. I guess I should be flattered.
• 6:35
  People are coming because I'm the nice guy.
• 6:37
  That's the reason why it's happening.
• 6:39
  We can get to the US because they're having a new president.
• 6:41
  It's Biden. He going to help all of us.
• 6:44
  The idea that Joe Biden said come because I I heard the other
• 6:47
  day that they're they're coming because they know I'm a nice guy
• 6:51
  and I won't deal with Trump. Do this.
• 6:52
  Yeah. Remember.
• 6:54
  You wanted this immediately surged to the border.
• 6:57
  All those people are seeking asylum.
• 6:59
  They deserve to be heard. That's who we are.
• 7:01
  We're a nation says if you want to flee and you're fleeing
• 7:04
  oppression, you should come. And those who come seeking
• 7:09
  asylum, we should immediately have the capacity to absorb
• 7:13
  them. This country can tolerate a heck
• 7:16
  of a lot more people. First time ever.
• 7:18
  We've told people they can't come to America.
• 7:20
  That ends. The cage is closed.
• 7:23
  We're not going to deport anybody.
• 7:24
  Who, in fact, has not in this country, committed a felony?
• 7:28
  If I can change, do you have to say quite clearly, don't come?
• 7:33
  Yes, I can say quite clearly, don't come.
• 7:35
  Don't leave your town or city or community or they attempt to
• 7:39
  cross into the United States unlawfully.
• 7:42
  They'll be returned back to Mexico and you can change.
• 7:45
  But what does Donald Trump do? He says Go back to where you
• 7:50
  came from. That is not reflective of our
• 7:52
  America and our values, and it's got to end.
• 7:56
  Everybody to change Do not come, do not come.
• 8:02
  If you come to our border, you will be turned back.
• 8:05
  Don't come back. Ever.
• 8:09
  We have to have a serious talk. President of the United States
• 8:14
  is putting children in cages tonight.
• 8:18
  That is the country we now live in.
• 8:20
  When we hear these recordings of kids who are trapped in these
• 8:23
  cages that it pulls at our heartstrings.
• 8:26
  The pictures of children being held in what appear to be cages
• 8:29
  are deeply disturbing. This is wrong.
• 8:32
  We've got kids in cages, things that look like cages.
• 8:35
  There's no empathy. We have kids in cages in our own
• 8:38
  country, human beings crowded into cages that put.
• 8:42
  Kids in cages. You know, if Trump really wants
• 8:44
  to put kids in cages, he should start with Eric and Donald
• 8:47
  Junior. Well, you know, Barack Obama
• 8:51
  didn't put. Kids in cages.
• 8:52
  That's not true. Either is it kids in cages, kids
• 8:55
  in cages. Putting kids in cages.
• 8:58
  It is a human rights violation when people at our border
• 9:01
  children are thrown in cages, not locking up children in
• 9:04
  cages. Well, I'm going to get straight
• 9:05
  to the point. More abuelas and kids.
• 9:07
  I look into these cages is you don't put children in cages.
• 9:13
  Yeah Lord, I will release children from cages.
• 9:17
  That's really great news. There's nothing he will not do
• 9:20
  to separate a family cage, a child or.
• 9:24
  Erase their existence. I'm not a smart man, Sarah
• 9:28
  Huckabee Sanders. It's just a mass of hair and
• 9:32
  teeth. But if you poke it with a, stick
• 9:33
  it. Goes hi guys.
• 9:35
  So your administration owns locking up children, but if kids
• 9:39
  in cages is too much for you to defend, there is one option you
• 9:42
  could resign putting children in.
• 9:46
  Cages has lost all claim to ever.
• 9:49
  Use religious language again. He doesn't just run his mouth
• 9:52
  about a fake brown menace. He pushes to put kids in cages.
• 9:55
  We have been putting immigrants in these quote UN quote, dog
• 9:59
  kennels. It's.
• 10:00
  A new format. Scandals in Animals fellow.
• 10:03
  Human beings were penned into cages like so much livestock,
• 10:05
  and they look like animal kennels.
• 10:07
  One of the worst things that I've ever seen in my entire life
• 10:10
  differ from the cages you put your dogs in, differ from the
• 10:13
  cages you put your dogs in. It's larger than a cage for an
• 10:17
  animal. Not that different.
• 10:20
  Meanwhile, the detention conditions that spark so much
• 10:22
  outrage under Trump go on. That includes the kids in cages.
• 10:26
  Very same people who saw kids in cages as the biggest crisis
• 10:31
  facing the US are suddenly silent.
• 10:34
  Joe Biden has built more cages. The cages are bigger and they're
• 10:37
  more full, and you're instructed to ask us to not have any
• 10:40
  pictures taken here because the. Political leadership at DHS does
• 10:45
  not want the American. People to know it so.
• 10:46
  You hate it that I have a little secret.
• 10:48
  Anything I do, you got to know all about it.
• 10:51
  More than 4200 unaccompanied migrant children are now in.
• 10:54
  US custody reporters, not. Allowed to.
• 10:56
  Go in. I've seen the Biden cages.
• 10:58
  How many children? Have you detained at the Donna
• 11:01
  Tent facility in the cages you built?
• 11:03
  Told Kids I. Respectfully, I'm not.
• 11:05
  Familiar with the term cages? They are not cages.
• 11:16
  These facilities, has any Democratic member of this
• 11:19
  committee given a damn enough to see the children being locked
• 11:22
  up? By Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
• 11:25
  because of your failed immigration policies.
• 11:26
  I don't. Want to mess around that shit
• 11:28
  anymore? Under Trump, it was
• 11:29
  concentration camps. The conditions on our board at
• 11:32
  the mass expansion of detention camps qualifies as a
• 11:34
  concentration camp. It's it's nuts.
• 11:38
  They followed the exact pattern that Hitler has.
• 11:40
  The United States is running concentration camps on our
• 11:44
  southern border. I feel that we are in pre Nazi
• 11:47
  Germany. These are in fact concentration
• 11:50
  camps. You know, just in case.
• 11:51
  Concentration camps based on race are something the Trump
• 11:54
  administration might want to pursue with people other than
• 11:56
  Central American migrants on the border.
• 11:57
  But of course, under Biden, they're not cages, but just
• 12:01
  building facilities, overcrowded detention facilities.
• 12:04
  Many in overcrowded detention centers of.
• 12:07
  Children in detention of overcrowded detention facilities
• 12:10
  in severely overcrowded detention facilities.
• 12:13
  Does it make you feel better? What a Democrat does it who
• 12:15
  doesn't tweet mean things? I gotta go.
• 12:18
  Where are you now? AOC.
• 12:20
  I am quite not really sure Where are you Jim Carrey?
• 12:24
  I. Don't care what happened to John
• 12:26
  Legend and Chrissy Teigen's activism.
• 12:29
  I got an updated COVID-19. Booster.
• 12:31
  It's worse under Biden. Outdoors and fenced off areas,
• 12:38
  essentially. Cages.
• 12:39
  Sounds familiar, right? It did tell us that every few
• 12:42
  days they were allowed to go into a courtyard for about 20
• 12:46
  minutes. That's under Joe Biden I.
• 12:50
  Don't care. Shit, I don't care either.
• 12:51
  I guess it's better when a Democrat does it.
• 12:53
  We didn't lock people up in cages.
• 12:55
  Oh, you have to lie. Oh, it's a must lie situation.
• 12:57
  Yeah. I don't believe we're a nation
• 13:00
  that thinks it's OK to put kids in cages on the border.
• 13:04
  I don't believe I heard you say that.
• 13:05
  Who built the cages, Joe? Let's talk about who built the
• 13:08
  cages, Joe, I'd love you to ask of that.
• 13:10
  Who built the cages that ends the cages closed.
• 13:13
  The rest of the world looks at us and.
• 13:15
  It's not who we are putting kids in cages at.
• 13:18
  The border Hypocrisy knows nobody.
• 13:21
  He's the one who built those cages that they put the Hispanic
• 13:25
  immigrants in. Joe Biden did that.
• 13:27
  I did it. I did it.
• 13:28
  He put the kids in cages. The same cages that he got mad
• 13:32
  at Trump for putting people in. Those happened to be the same
• 13:34
  cages he built when he was the VP.
• 13:37
  Impossible. Get rid of all the cages.
• 13:40
  Everybody out of prisons. Even Rikers Island.
• 13:43
  Prison isn't off the table. Whatever happened to keeping
• 13:46
  kids out of cages? I can't believe the guy who
• 13:48
  wrote the the Crime bill would do something like this.
• 13:51
  Huh. I have.
• 13:51
  A child please. I have a child.
• 14:03
  Please how much she has in? The world just play the.
• 14:06
  Sound of these children This is Pro Publica that recorded this.
• 14:09
  This was children at a detention.
• 14:10
  Center and so taking a child away.
• 14:18
  From a young, from a parent is child abuse.
• 14:23
  If you're going to leave your soul, you know, back at the at
• 14:25
  the soul center where they handed them out years ago and
• 14:27
  Republicans still had them, you should go to a center and you
• 14:30
  should hold a baby. That doesn't make sense.
• 14:32
  Sounds a lot like jail for babies.
• 14:34
  Let that sink in. You're.
• 14:35
  Just a woman with a small brain. I thought we weren't going to
• 14:37
  have a country left if we didn't arrest enough babies at the
• 14:40
  southern borders. God, you're done appropriately
• 14:42
  characterizing as baby prisons. Different children now cowering
• 14:47
  under the. Skirts of the statue of.
• 14:49
  Liberty a symbol of tolerance. Time magazine.
• 14:53
  Or with its cover of Trump. Staring down.
• 14:55
  A crying. Child at the border, the Statue
• 14:57
  of Liberty is really weeping today.
• 15:00
  It is difficult to listen to, but I wanted to get your
• 15:03
  response. Take a listen.
• 15:08
  I mean, it's heartbreaking, Ari. It's heartbreaking.
• 15:12
  It's it's really unconscionable. I'm really so that shit did
• 15:16
  that. Harshness as strength.
• 15:18
  That's his cell. What about heart, Fred?
• 15:20
  It was weak and stupid, searing images surfacing today showing
• 15:24
  what detention facilities look like through the eyes of the
• 15:27
  kids who are kept there. We came to the.
• 15:30
  US because there were people who wanted to hurt.
• 15:33
  Us. We have to ask for toilet paper
• 15:35
  if we want any. And now they cannot find over
• 15:38
  500 of sets of those parents. And those kids are alone,
• 15:43
  nowhere to go, nowhere to go. It's criminal.
• 15:47
  They real tough. We're really strong and it makes
• 15:49
  us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a
• 15:53
  nation. Think about the sheer number
• 15:55
  here. 545 kids. That's not a child on a milk
• 16:02
  carton. That's the whole dairy aisle.
• 16:05
  And if there are still people who haven't made-up their minds,
• 16:08
  there are still people who are going to vote for him.
• 16:10
  Maybe we feel too guilty to understand the magnitude of that
• 16:15
  crime and our responsibility. And tonight, lawmakers urging
• 16:19
  the Biden administration to provide explanations for the
• 16:22
  disappearance of 85,000 migrant children.
• 16:25
  You have managed to lose 85,000 of them, and the Times knows
• 16:29
  where they are, 2/3 of them, and they're with labor traffickers.
• 16:33
  We've never had such a bad problem with child labor
• 16:37
  trafficking and child sex trafficking, and it is enabled
• 16:41
  by the Biden administration's policies, the relocation of the
• 16:46
  migrants to their destinations with almost no questions asked
• 16:51
  and no vetting of the people to whom they're released.
• 16:54
  At least five HHS staff members said they were pushed out after
• 16:59
  raising concerns about child safety.
• 17:01
  The Biden administration's repeatedly ignored or missed
• 17:04
  warnings about a surge of migrant children as young as 12
• 17:08
  working in factories across the United States.
• 17:11
  Where's the screaming about it? That's OK.
• 17:18
  So it now approaches 100,000 children, according to public
• 17:21
  reports, 100,000 children lost by your department and the Biden
• 17:24
  administration. Migrant children sold into labor
• 17:28
  trafficking and sex trafficking. It's really astonishing how much
• 17:32
  the Biden administration is willing to look the other way.
• 17:35
  Migrant children who come to the US without their parents here.
• 17:40
  Are working 12 hour shifts or more at factories even though it
• 17:44
  violates child labor laws. The the three little boys that
• 17:48
  that died I mean you know were injured and died.
• 17:51
  One of them fell from a roof in the in construction they have to
• 17:54
  go work, the most punishing jobs in the country.
• 17:57
  How many children have been sexually assaulted by
• 18:01
  traffickers or other people when they were coming in illegally?
• 18:04
  I do not have that data. OK, so you don't know that
• 18:06
  either. What are What are these
• 18:08
  wristbands? I don't know what they are.
• 18:11
  You don't know what they are. Along the southern border you
• 18:15
  see thousands of these wristbands.
• 18:17
  These are children being sold into sex slavery and you don't
• 18:21
  even know what they are, that is.
• 18:23
  Astonishing. So.
• 18:26
  Now you know why you're a chump If you voted for Joe Biden
• 18:30
  because you cared about immigrants, Yeah, you're a
• 18:34
