00:00What happened?
00:01Parents were ripped, their kids were ripped from their arms
00:04and separated.
00:06And now they cannot find over 500 of sets of those parents
00:10and those kids are alone.
00:13Nowhere to go.
00:14Nowhere to go.
00:16It's criminal.
00:17It's criminal.
00:18Let me ask you about it.
00:19Kirsten, I will say this.
00:20They went down, we brought reporters, everything.
00:22They are so well taken care of.
00:25They're in facilities that were so clean.
00:27These 500 plus kids came with parents.
00:32They separated them at the border
00:34to make it a disincentive to come to begin with.
00:37Big, real tough.
00:39We're really strong.
00:40And guess what?
00:41They cannot, it's not coyotes didn't bring them over.
00:44Their parents were with them.
00:46They got separated from their parents.
00:48And it makes us a laughing stock
00:50and violates every notion of who we are as a nation.
00:53I'll be President of the United States,
00:55not Vice President of the United States.
00:57And the fact is, I've made it very clear.
00:59Within 100 days, I'm going to send
01:01to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship
01:04for over 11 million undocumented people.
01:07And all of those so-called dreamers, those DACA kids,
01:12they're going to be immediately certified again
01:14to be able to stay in this country
01:16and put on a path to citizenship.
01:18The idea that they are being sent home by this guy
01:21and they want to do that,
01:22is they go into a country they've never seen before.
01:25I can imagine you're five years old,
01:27your parents are taking you across the Rio Grande River
01:31and it's illegal.
01:33And you say, oh no, mom, leave me here.
01:35I'm not going to go with you.
01:36They've been here.
01:37Many of them are model citizens.
01:38Over 20,000 of them are first responders
01:41out there taking care of people during this crisis.
01:44We owe them.
01:46We owe them.
