the federal government has as a core duty the right and responsibility to enforce immigration law and police the
00:00:06
borders that's what the government is that's what the federal government is really so if you contest that it is like
00:00:12
a threat to disunion fundamentally i mean I think there's a lot at stake and we reached this point because a series
00:00:18
of paradoxically weak federal governments allowed sanctuary cities to continue literally for decades each one
00:00:25
its own form of insurrection against the central government and maybe don't believe that the federal government has
00:00:29
a right to pass laws restricting immigration but most people accept that those are federal duties and once you
00:00:34
accept that you can't allow states or municipalities to flout the law any more than you could allow Central High School
00:00:40
in Little Rock to keep black students out or whatever i mean certainly federal troops have been called in for much less
00:00:46
and I think the longer this continues the greater the threat of disunion the greater the threat of reaching a point
00:00:52
where you can't drive from New York to LA we take a lot for granted in the country and the main thing we take for
00:00:58
granted I think is freedom of movement between states but you could easily imagine that ending like soon in the
00:01:04
same way that you can't drive from cuz I've tried from S Paulo to Rio in Brazil pretty first world country it's too
00:01:09
dangerous to do that you could easily see that happening here so I think once the Trump administration commits to
00:01:16
putting down the riots to enforcing federal law by force it kind of can't back away from That
