Toobin Likens Trump Enforcing Immigration Law to Bank Robbery, Katrina #GreatAwakening
On Tuesday's The Situation Room, CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin likened President Donald Trump enforcing immigration law by separating families to both a bank robbery and to Hurricane Katrina as the group discussed HHS Secretary Alex Alzar defending the administration's progress in reuniting children with their parents.
And CNN analyst Jackie Kucinich displayed the latest example of CNN conflating legal asylum seekers with illegal immigrants who cross the border illegally and seek asylum after they are apprehended as she complained about some asylum seekers being separated from their children.
Host Wolf Blitzer asked for the group's reaction to his interview with Alzar in which the HHS Secretary pointed out that the administration's efforts had found that some of the alleged parents were either not the real parents, or had committed crimes, leading Kucinich to dismissively declare that "I guess they had to say something." She then added:
What he didn't mention was the fact that they are separating children from parents who are asylum seekers. That's legal -- that's how people come to this country, and they apply for asylum, and those parents are being separated from those children. He has not addressed that, and the administration should.
When he got his turn, Toobin trashed the administration as he began:
The whole thing reminded me of a bank robber saying, "I am working so hard to give the money back, and I'm trying to collect it." Don't rob the bank in the first place. I mean, don't separate the children so you have to work so hard to get them back together.
