I think actually the citizen action with regard to ICE, 98% of it, 2% of it's probably over the top, but has been really admirable, I've got to say.

People are taking risks and doing much more than they need to do to go out on the street and help people who are being harassed, and not more than harassed, I mean, being obviously...

seized by ICE and harassed as well.

So I'm impressed by the citizen reaction, but Congress can stop it.

Congress can put all kinds of rules in place on use of ICE, use of Border Patrol, standards by which they should pursue, under which they should operate and so forth.

I feel it was silly saying Congress, Congress, Congress, the Republicans in Congress.

Could you please do something?

It's like pathetic to keep saying it, I suppose.

On the other hand, as you say, there are some cracks and they really do need to do something.

Otherwise, we're going to have three years.

If you didn't like what you've been seeing in Chicago for the last month or two, we're going to have a year or maybe three years of that.

And city after city.

And what is it going to do to the country?

I mean, and then with tens of billions of dollars more behind ICE and the Border Patrol.

That's a good word for it, unfortunately.

I mean, really, unfortunately, that this is happening in this country.

And these are not marginal cases.

This is not the sort of reasonable version of a restrictionist agenda.

We should let fewer people in.

We should be a little stricter about the ones we find who have broken the law and maybe done something violent and make sure they really get expelled.
