Local Rep. Ken Calvert discusses border concerns following end of Title 42

Published | Video Starts at 03:41

I spoke with him on Friday and he told me, quote, Republicans want to go back to a, quote, dehumanized system. They want to cut funds to local communities and deport children and migrants and detain them. Your reaction? Look, No country has treated migrants more fairly than the United States. It's not a matter of how we treat people. It's a matter of whether or not we have borders that we enforce. No country can have a country without enforcing the borders that it has. (03:41–03:48)
