Lincoln said in a speech to Congress in 1862 that nobody from this Congress or this administration is going to avoid history. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. And we can't avoid this question. I mean, this is...

But here's one of the problems, Pablo. I have found in my experience that if people have a general common understanding of the facts, getting to the proper solution is pretty easy. If they don't share an understanding of the facts, it's practically impossible. And in our country today, we have people living in different factual universes.

If you're conservative, you watch Fox News and Newsmax, and you get on the internet to various people that reinforce your views. In fact, somebody said they had a great line the other day. People are now seeking confirmation, not information. And if you're liberal, you watch Rachel Maddow. Sure. And so people are walking around literally with different views of the facts.

I think it was Barack Obama once said, if he watched Fox News for a week, he'd hate himself. And it's very hard to resolve these problems when people have different views of the facts. For example, what is the crime problem among immigrants? Well, the data shows that immigrants actually have a lower crime rate.

Recent immigrants that are being targeted by this administration have a lower crime rate than native born Americans. That's supposedly valid data from the FBI and other law enforcement.

But if that's the case, then the premise is not correct, that this is a national emergency and we have to forget about civil rights and we have to forget about the Constitution and due process because these people are dangerous and running rampant in our communities. We've got to understand the facts before we make the policy.
