Gavin Newsom and Newt Gingrich Discuss Immigration, Trump's Policies, and Bipartisanship

Published | Video Starts at 06:30

Part of why we did Journey to America, was to remind people that it's okay to be against illegal immigration, but you want to be passionately for legal immigration and you want to recognize that there are dividing lines. I'm very concerned about the Dreamers, the people who came here at 2, 3, 4 years of age. They should be treated differently than they're being treated right now. It's just. It's wrong to toss them in as though they're illegal in any traditional sense. So is it just they're just a political football, then? That's right. (06:30–06:39)
