Tim Walz Calls Trump's Tirade Against Somalis in Minnesota 'Vile'

Published | Video Starts at 12:55

On immigration. You heard that the DHS secretary yesterday is complaining with a made up number that 50% of our Somali neighbors are here on fraudulent visas and that's my fault. You would think if you're the secretary of Homeland Security that you would know the state has nothing to do with the issues of visa, that it's the federal government. So I will gladly comply with what they need. I would fully expect them not to do what Americans are asking them to do. (12:55–13:07)

CLAIM

Asserts that visa issues are a federal responsibility, not a state one.
