Steven Denies Racial Profiling in Immigration Crackdown

Is it the case that as Pritzker frames it, you are profiling brown people?

That, that this immigration crackdown is designed to go after people of color?

That is the... It's such a ... Oh, what a dumb question.

The illegal aliens who are here are taking jobs away from Blacks, they're taking jobs away from whites, they're taking jobs away from Latinos.

They're taking their health benefits away, they're taking their school spots away, and of course, in many cases, they're committing heinous crimes.

We cannot have a- So- ... system of law in this country that privileges illegal aliens over American citizens, and that's what they're doing.

You know it and I know it. So, so that's not exactly a no, Steven.

Can, can you just unequivocally state- I just said- ... that the immigration policy- Well, I did. It's, I said it was a dumb question.

Can, can you just unequivocally state- I just said- ... that the immigration policy- Well, I did. It's, I said it was a dumb question.

Okay. Well, I appreciate that. No- But can you, can you- ... and it's a dumb question So, so, no, this policy is not designed to- I thought when I said it was a dumb question, it meant no.

Well, I just wanna be clear and precise.

I, I appreciate you trying to- Yeah ... qualify my questions, but nevertheless- No ... I think it's a fair one that a lot of people have.

So, so- My full answer is no, that is a lie, and it's a dumb question
