Markwayne Mullin: “If you're over here, you committed a crime while you're…”

“If, if you haven't done anything or you have a criminal background, if you have a criminal background, we're not making exceptions for you. It just. There is no exceptions there, zero exceptions. If you're over here, you committed a crime while you're inside the United States and you're not [a citizen] in the United States, you're going home. There's no exceptions to that. If you're over here and you've overstayed your visa and you haven't changed your status or you came in illegally, you haven't changed your status, you claimed asylum, you have no asylum claim, there's nothing I can do for you.” (03:37–03:43)
