Look, If they actually cared about rounding up illegal immigrants, they would go where most of the illegal immigrants are, in Florida or Texas. No surprise. They're not going to those red states. They're terrorizing blue states. Because the Trump administration is not interested in even its stated mission, whether you agree with it or not. (03:19–03:27)
