BOB SCHIEFFER: “You just heard Rick Perry, some really strong words about the President. He said basically he’s just not interested in solving this problem on the border”.
REP. LUIS GUTIERREZ: “Well, Governor Perry’s just wrong on that issue. Let’s first go, he kept repeating “the border, the border, the border,” and he wants to put more National Guardsmen in and if he put more National Guardsman in, the children wouldn’t come. The children come, Bob, fleeing violence and torture, murder and rape”.
“And so, they’re going to continue to come as long as those conditions exist and we don’t fix our broken immigration system. Let’s just put in context what the governor just said”.
“So during George Bush’s Presidency, 1,600,000 people apprehended crossing the border between Mexico and the United States”.
“Today it’s under 400,000”.
“But George Bush, average of about 200,000 people deported a year, average over his eight years”.
“Over six years of President Barack Obama, 400,000. Over two million deported under already. So (unintelligible) border and border, in terms of deportation, there has been enforcement”.
GUTIERREZ: “So you can keep throwing money and talk about enforcement, enforcement, enforcement, but you’ve got to put money also into your judicial system, and you’ve got to put money in a comprehensive program that deals with the issue”.
“I want to make one last point to the Governor, look, these are children”.
“I’m happy he didn’t demonize the children, but there is a demonization that goes on”.
“And all I say to the Governor is I wish you understood and accepted the law of the land, Governor”.
“And the law of the land in 2008, we adopted in the Congress of the United States an anti-trafficking law”.
“But wait, it wasn’t only in 2008 that we said protect the children, we said protect the children in 2002 when we created the Department of Homeland Security. (unintelligible) signed by President Bush said, “We must treat children who arrive at our shores differently.”
