1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: Lou Penrose sitting in for John this week.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 3: Good to have you along with us LA County voting

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 3: yesterday to declare a state of emergency, specifically a state

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 3: of immigration emergency, and it gives them a whole host

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 3: of authorities and we need to know exactly what those are.

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: Kfi's Michael Monks joins us from the KFI newsroom.

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: Was this a planned thing? This just kind of jumped

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: on the radar screen.

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: It's not something that was talked about, really, and now

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, a state of emergency.

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: Very dramatic, Michael Monks.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 4: The board has been talking about various options to assist

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: illegal immigrants who are here in the community. There are

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 4: many in Los Angeles County, and in fact, they've already

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: taken multiple steps to assist folks who they say are

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: impacted by immigration enforcement efforts by the federal government here

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles County. We're talking about me access to

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 4: benefits like food access or even some monetary assistance for rent.

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: All of this stuff has already been enacted, but some

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: on the board suggested that they needed to declare a

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: state of emergency, because in emergencies you can do things

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: in a way that may be expedited. You don't have

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: to go through all of the bureaucracy and the red tape.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: Keep in mind, we have something similar in the City

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: of Los Angeles around homelessness, and that has allowed programs

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: like inside Safe to operate in ways that they normally

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: would not have to wor the emergency not declared. So

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 4: this does open up the door to additional actions by

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: this board because they have declared an emergency.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: All right, So it's more than just window dressing, more

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: than just symbolic. But when you say it's streamlines a process,

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: because we're in a state of emergency, when we're talking

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: about rent relief or legal aid, what would that be

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: just that you don't have to put it out to bid.

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to figure out what would have

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: slowed down rent relief or legal aid in the first place.

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: Perhaps nothing there, and that's how they've already been able

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: to do some of those things. But one characteristic of

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: this that has been clamored for by activists in La County,

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: whether they're connected to a legal immigrant families or not

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: is an eviction moratorium. Now, if you cover local government

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: like I do, you often hear folks saying we need

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: an eviction moratorium for this reason or that reason. There

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: were folks calling for an eviction moratorium in the wake

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: of the wildfires from January, regardless of where people lived

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: or if they were impacted by it at all. So

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: there's a group of activists here that always see an

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: opportunity to pursue an eviction moratorium, and this group called

51
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Tenants Union, is one of those advocacy groups.

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: They've been pushing the Board of Supervisors for weeks to

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: enact an eviction moratorium. Basically, what that would mean is

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: landlords can't kick people out of their property. You saw

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: this during COVID, so when people were losing their income,

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: you know, to no fault of their own, they were

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: able to stay in their homes. And so this group

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: has called foreign eviction moratorium. There are members of the

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: Board of Supervisors that seem sympathetic to this, and the

60
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: County Attorney's report on this emergency declaration indicates that an

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 4: eviction moratorium could be enacted during a declared local emergency.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: But it would have to be temporary, and it would

63
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: also have to be narrowly tailored to address the impacts

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: of the emergency. It also has to protect landlord's due

65
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 4: process rights, and that's always a problem here in Los Angeles.

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: Landlords are often not happy with these various layers of

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: government that are added to their property ownership.

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: Oh, this is I mean, this is like the highest

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: level of confusion because property owners in Los Angeles County

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: cannot ask if somebody is lately in the United States on.

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Oro rental application.

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: So how would the Board of Supervisors know to place

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: a moratorium on any one tenant because of ice? Oh

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: are they gonna make that distinction since nobody's allowed to

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: know if you're in Los Angeles legally enough?

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: Do you raise an excellent point, Lou, Because it's not

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: just the eviction moratorium, it's basically every policy that's been

78
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: put in place, whether it be the City of Los

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: Angeles or the County of Los Angeles, to assist illegal immigrants.

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 4: Because these are advocates for legal immigrants who suggest we

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: need to protect folks who are here illegally and not

82
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: necessarily getting up on them because of their lack of

83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: legal status. But in order to receive some of these funds,

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 4: it looks like you would have to prove how you

85
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: are adversely impacted by the immigration raids. What we heard

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 4: from supervisors is that there are families where there is

87
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: a mixed status they call it. So somebody may be

88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: here illegally. Let's say the father is here illegally, the

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: mother is not, so the mother's a legal citizen, and

90
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: then they are children involved, but the father has been

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: detained and or deported, and now the main source of

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: income is gone. In fact, here's what Supervisor Lindsay Horvath

93
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: had to say about those sorts of issues.

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: For months, families have been living under threat, workers have

95
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: been kidnapped from job sites, and children have been coming

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: home to empty dinner tables. Los Angeles County has the

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: responsibility to protect every resident, no matter where they come

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: from or what papers they carry.

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: And that was Supervisor Lindsay Horvath. We also heard from

100
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: Supervisors Janie Hahn, Holly Mitchell, and Hilde Slice who all

101
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: voted for this. Supervisor Catherine Barger, who is currently the

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: chair of the board. This year, she was the loan

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: vote against it, but she says her opposition to the

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: motion is about good governance, not immigration status. She says

105
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: that this type of action could set the county up

106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 4: for legal challenges from the federal government, and goodness knows

107
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: whether it's the local government or the state government. Here

108
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 4: the federal government, they've been at odds for months now

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: at various court levels on various issue So if this

110
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: does become a situation where the federal government gets win

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: of it and they're not happy about it, it could absolutely be.

112
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: Challenged, and the fight back and forth between DC and

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: LA goes on and on.

114
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: All right, lots of questions about this that I still want.

115
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: To just unpack as we move forward, because this, as

116
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 6: you said, opens up a whole host of challenges, especially

117
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 6: when you're getting into mixed status households.

118
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Michael Mounts from the KFI newsroom. Thanks so much, appreciate

119
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: you hopping on and giving us the details you got

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: to go.

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 3: All right, So when we get back, how exactly does

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: this work? So does the county boarder supervisors expect people

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: to go on record and say, yes, we knowingly had

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: a foreign national illegally working and in fact working so

125
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: hard that they were the breadwinner of this household and

126
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: now you people deported him, and so I need the

127
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: taxpayers of Los Angeles to pay my rent until what

128
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: the bread winner gets settled back home and starts first

129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: remittance payments. This is a real problem and we need

130
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: to explore it, and we'll do that next.

131
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 7: You're listening to John coblt on demand from KFI AM

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 7: six forty.

133
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Sitting in for John coblt all this week Loup Penrose

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: on I AM six forty. So the state of emergency, now,

135
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: the state of an immigration emergency is in effect at

136
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Board of Supervisor.

137
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 8: Joly County Board of Supervisors voting four to one on

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 8: Tuesday to approve a quote immigration emergency declaration in the

139
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 8: county in response to recent ice raids here.

140
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: In La So.

141
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: According to the reports enforcement raids since June six have

142
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: grown to a point where they cause undocumented residents extreme

143
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: peril of being deported or losing their livelihood. Also they

144
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: say financial strain, loss of food security, isolation, mental distress.

145
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: And homelessness. And this is what is so amazing to me.

146
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: The level of hysteria at the County Board of Supervisors

147
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: is off the charts. Now we are in the process

148
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: of removing foreign nationals illegally in the county. We're in

149
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: the process of removing foreign nationals illegally in the country.

150
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: It is illegal to be.

151
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: In Los Angeles illegally. It is illegal to work in

152
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. If you're in Los Angeles illegally, you are

153
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: ineligible for employment. And the Border Supervisors is the governing

154
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: body of the county. They're the law and order place

155
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: and they're rooting for the illegals. And it's quite astounding.

156
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: Here is Supervisor Han.

157
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 9: We have entire families who are destitute because their fathers

158
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 9: or mothers were taken from their workplaces and they have

159
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 9: no way to pay their rent or put food on

160
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 9: the table.

161
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: That's right, Well, that's the process, is to remove them

162
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 3: from housing and the labor, the illegal labor force. That's

163
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: part of the process destitute. What are you talking about.

164
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: More money is sent in the form of remittance payments

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: to Mexico than any other thing that goes on. There

166
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: is so much money that is sent in remittance payments

167
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: to Mexico from California that it shows up on the

168
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: books in Mexico City. It's like part of their economy.

169
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: And then they you know, look for public assistance here.

170
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: But this is this is just astounding that they don't

171
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: understand the difference between legal and illegal, and they continue

172
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: to talk about residents of Los Angeles and ethel alien

173
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: is not a resident because by literal definition, you are

174
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: not able to reside if you're in in the United

175
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: States illegally. This is why I'm always screaming when they

176
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: talk about children in schools in La County. In order

177
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: to enroll your child at a public school in Los Angeles,

178
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: there are residency requirements, right.

179
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: That's how you know which elementary school to go to.

180
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: That's how you know.

181
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: That's people talk about I want to go to a

182
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: good school district. Though, is that a good school district?

183
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is we're going to buy a house,

184
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: is it? What's the school district like?

185
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: Because you have to have residency in order to be

186
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: eligible to get into that school, or you have to

187
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: apply for some out of area acceptance and you got

188
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: to go on a waiting list.

189
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: I did this with my own kids.

190
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 3: So you have to have residency, you have to establish residency,

191
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: improve residency.

192
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: A person in.

193
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County, by literal definition, cannot reside because it's

194
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: illegal for them to be in Los Angeles County, so

195
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: they're not a resident.

196
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: So lou Penrose Rule number four words matter.

197
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: The county will take whatever actions we have within our authority.

198
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: We need to call on our region to stand up

199
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 5: and protect our community members.

200
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: Oh, community members, that's a good one, community members.

201
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's just call this out.

202
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: In the process of removing people that are in the

203
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: country illegally, it's going to put pain on the people

204
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: that relied on that otherwise illegal income, but nevertheless income.

205
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: And that is a pity I and not so heartless

206
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,479
Speaker 3: that I don't acknowledge that this is a real problem

207
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: for a lot of people that built a life around

208
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 3: a lie, and that is it's okay to work illegally

209
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: and start a family and just be But these are

210
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: not Los Angeles residents. These are foreign nationals masquerading as

211
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: Los Angeles families.

212
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: They are.

213
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: They belong to other countries, and they are masquerading as parents.

214
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: Entering their children into our public schools.

215
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: The public schools in Los Angeles are for the children

216
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: of Angelinos, not people masquerading as Angelinos, which is what

217
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: foreign nationals in the country illegally are doing. I don't

218
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: know how else you go about doing this without causing

219
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: pain to the dependence of the illegal worker. By the way,

220
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: if somebody is a burglar and that's what they do

221
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: for a living, and they support a family, and we

222
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: catch them and convict them and put them in jail,

223
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: doesn't that cause pain to the dependence of the cat burglar?

224
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: So why is this different? So let's define our terms

225
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: here a little bit. This is what happens. And again,

226
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: as I said, it is a problem. It is in

227
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: fact their problem, not your problem, not my problem. Who

228
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: told you to come into the country illegally and start

229
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: a family? Like, don't let them make you feel bad.

230
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: Don't feel bad. I don't feel bad.

231
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 8: Now, that emergency declaration will give La County the power

232
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 8: to provide taxpayer funded rent relief, legal services, and other

233
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 8: assistance to those the county says have been affected by

234
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 8: recent ice rates. Now, the two LA County supervisors who

235
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 8: first introduced this declaration say immigrants in La have been

236
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 8: quote living under.

237
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: Threat from ice and help is needed.

238
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: Anybody that's in the country illegally is living under threat

239
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 3: of immigration and custom enforcement. Anybody breaking federal law is

240
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: living under the threat of the FBI. Anybody violating interstate

241
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: commerce is living under the threat of the Department of Commerce.

242
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: Anybody selling knockoff Louis vatam purses at santi Alli is

243
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: living under the threat of the Department of Treasury. This

244
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: is absurd, like this is some new thing. It's illegal

245
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: to be in Los Angeles.

246
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: I legally, it just is.

247
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: When we come back, let's talk about how the landlord

248
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: somehow deserves to get screwed on all this.

249
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: That's all coming up next.

250
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

251
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 7: six forty.

252
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: The County of Los Angeles declaring an immigration state of emergency,

253
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: giving the County Border Supervisors the authority to provide taxpayer

254
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: funded rent relief, legal aid, and other services to illegal

255
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: aliens and their families now immigration Customs enforcement.

256
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: And I'm surprised to see.

257
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: That they issued a statement, but they issued a direct

258
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: statement to the LA Board of Supervisors.

259
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 8: ICE is blasting LA County's decision to approve this declaration.

260
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 8: They write, in part quote, the only state of emergency

261
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 8: is the one residence of Los Angeles face after electing

262
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 8: officials who give a middle finger to the law.

263
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: Wow, that's tough stuff. Middle finger to the law. But

264
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: that's not untrue. They are flooding the law at flouting,

265
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: they are not helping the process. And I, for the

266
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: life of me, don't understand how the property management company

267
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: or the property owner has to wait for rent relief

268
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: from the county and Comma, Why do the legal residents

269
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: and actual Americans of Los Angeles have to cover the

270
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: rent for the dependents of illegals.

271
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: And even if there is any.

272
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: Truth to this idea of a mixed household, a mixed

273
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: status household, I think, is the term that was used

274
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: where some people are in the country illegally and working illegally,

275
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: and some people are legally here and dependent. I don't

276
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: even know how you get to that, since only an

277
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: idiot would marry an illegal. But whatever, can't people still

278
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: work at home and send money to their family like

279
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: it is possible?

280
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: It used to happen.

281
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: My great grandfather came from Italy and worked on the

282
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: New York City subway system and mailed money home to

283
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: my great grandmother, who was an Italian citizen.

284
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: So does that is not not still a thing?

285
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: People don't do that anymore, like you can get deported

286
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: or self deport, which is still the best way to go.

287
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: For all you illegals out there. The jig is up.

288
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what you're thinking. Remember the

289
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: lou Penrose rule. There are no tears in the back

290
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: of the ice van. I don't want to see any tears.

291
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear any crying. We gave you

292
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 3: a goodly amount of time to get your affairs in order.

293
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: We told you what was.

294
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: Coming down, and the best thing you could do is

295
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: take the deal. Have your sister in law sell the

296
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 3: truck and get the one thousand dollars from the Trump

297
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: administration and get that free ticket and scram and get

298
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: back to Guatemala City and get yourself an apartment a

299
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. It's a thousand dollars US dollars, so it

300
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: goes a long way in Honduras or Turkey or Venezuela

301
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: or India or wherever.

302
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Get yourself a.

303
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: Small studio apartment near the US embassy, and then hang

304
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: out for six weeks, wait for the smoke to clear,

305
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: and then go apply. If you legitimately have family here,

306
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: apply like you know legal people do. So that's the

307
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: best deal. Going waiting around for the ice truck to come.

308
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 3: Not a good plan, But if that's what you insist

309
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: on doing, go for it. Just I don't want to

310
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 3: see any crime, I don't want to see any tears,

311
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: and I don't want to hear about it. So how

312
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: is this rent relief going to make it to the

313
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: person that actually has to make the mortgage payment on

314
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: the apartment building? Taxpayer funded rent relief and legal aid.

315
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: That's the other one that I fully don't understand.

316
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: I worked for three members of Congress from California for

317
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 3: fifteen years, which means for fifteen years I did immigration

318
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: casework or I managed staff that did immigration casework. There's

319
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: nothing that an attorney can help you with that your

320
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: local member of Congress can help you with for free.

321
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: I see these designs all the time in various communities

322
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: in La County Immigracion, and I'm thinking, what is going

323
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: on here? There is no such thing as an immigration attorney.

324
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: Immigration law is pretty clear for the most part.

325
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: It's a scam. A lot of these immigration attorneys they're

326
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: praying on foreigners.

327
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: They're really just simply providing translation services at three hundred

328
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: dollars an hour. That's really where the crime is. But nevertheless,

329
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: immigration attorneys, what are they going to help you? Having

330
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: an immigration attorney it would be like having a DMV

331
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: attorney in state government.

332
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: You can just do it yourself.

333
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: So I don't know what the legal aid is going

334
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: to do, and I don't understand what these lawyers are

335
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: telling these dependents of illegals. Again, if you are a

336
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: US citizen and you are married to an illegal alien,

337
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that your spouse is staying. I think

338
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: that a lot of illegals got that wrong. I don't

339
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: know if it was pop culture, maybe some movies, I

340
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 3: don't know, but I think a lot of illegals thought

341
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: if they just somehow marry a local that they'll get

342
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: to stay, or if they knock up a local, they'll

343
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: get to stay, And that isn't how it works. So

344
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what the long term plan is. But

345
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: if I were you, I would go home and then

346
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: find the US embassy and apply like a normal person.

347
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: Despite cutting twenty five million dollars from La County's Sister

348
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: Attorney's office, Wow, that's politically bold to cut the DA's

349
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: budget to give rent relief to foreign nationals living in

350
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County illegally. I still, for the life of me,

351
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: I do not understand how the border supers expect to

352
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: qualify that.

353
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: How are you going to prove this?

354
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: People have to come forward and say there wasn't illegal here,

355
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 3: he got deported, or there's illegals here and they're afraid

356
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: to go to work.

357
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: They're not going to say that.

358
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: I think if you say they were in the country

359
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: and they got deported, but they were the breadwinner, you're

360
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: opening yourself up to a lot of back payroll taxes.

361
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're going to say that.

362
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: I don't think this is really thought through by Jennis Hahn,

363
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: and I don't think Lindsey Horvath understands law at all.

364
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see where this takes us.

365
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: But to be sure, what happens now is the rental

366
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: market becomes even more tight because those that are in

367
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: the business of renting apartments to anybody, because those individuals

368
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 3: become a lot more suspicious of those rental applications, so

369
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: that it just makes things worse yet again LA County

370
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,200

Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt

Speaker 3: Show coming up following the news of two.

377
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: So I knew this would eventually happen.

378
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Former congresswoman and gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter had to break

379
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: her silence at some point and attempt a recovery tour,

380
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: and she did right here in Los Angeles, inside California

381
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 3: Politics with Nicki Lorenzo, and it didn't go well. I mean,

382
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: there is damage control consultants in politics, just like there

383
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: are damage control consultants and media control consultants in business

384
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 3: and in showbiz. And you've got to address these things quickly.

385
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, unless you plan on just avoiding it all

386
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: together and letting the chips fall where they may. But

387
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: if you have a live campaign for the Democrat nomination

388
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: for governor and you're the leading contender, which according to

389
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: Pohle's Porter is, and you have this much damage to

390
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: your candidacy, you need help. You can't get out of

391
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: this on your own because clearly your instincts are flawed.

392
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 3: And that's the case here now is recovery possible. Sure,

393
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: Californians easily forgive character flaws.

394
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

395
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: Mistakes happen. All politicians flubb they all do. They all

396
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 3: make mistakes. They all say something and artfully and sometimes

397
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: they can't get.

398
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Out of their own way.

399
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 3: It's never the fumble in politics, it's always the recovery.

400
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: So when somebody fumbles, I mean, we all watch because

401
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: it's a train wreck.

402
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: And this was a train wreck.

403
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 3: And the first thing you do is to find out, Wow,

404
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: was this just a bad day?

405
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: Was this sour milk in the coffee? Is she hungover?

406
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Is she drunk?

407
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: What's going on? Does somebody kick her dog? Why is

408
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: she in a bad mood? So you find out.

409
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: Is there a pattern or was this just a really

410
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: bad day?

411
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: Is there zero evidence of this happening in the past,

412
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: And in Katie Porter's case, there is growing evidence that

413
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 3: it happens continuously. So there is a pattern of behavior

414
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: for which in this latest interview she has not really addressed,

415
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: and there's no sense that she is going to change

416
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: her ways. She actually took it as a bit of

417
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 3: a badge of honor, saying that it shows the voters

418
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 3: that she's tough. So we'll listen to the parts of

419
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 3: the interview together and then go back and contrast it

420
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 3: with the one interview that got her in trouble, and

421
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: then of course the now famous get out of my

422
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: shot treatment of the staffer. And I'll tell you a

423
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: little bit about what goes on behind the scenes and

424
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: these kinds of situations, having been a senior staffer for

425
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: three members of Congress, and Porter was a member of

426
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: Congress when she was in that conference call with the

427
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: Secretary of Energy.

428
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: But from my read, this didn't do it.

429
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: The questions will continue to be asked about her temperament

430
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: because it's now it's not a character question, it's a

431
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: matter of temperament. She doesn't seem to mind that she

432
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: came off as a class A B.

433
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 9: Ch Hylou Regarding Supervisor Corva's statement this morning about this proclamation,

434
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 9: she stated that it's La County's responsibility to protect every resident. Well,

435
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 9: what about the landlords? What about people who who are citizens,

436
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 9: are legal residents? Why don't they have protection? Very infuriating.

437
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 3: It's infuriating because a member of the county Board of

438
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: Supervisors in this case, Lindsay Corbat doesn't understand what a

439
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: resident is and doesn't make the distinction between people that

440
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: live and work in Los Angeles and people that make

441
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: believe they're Angelino's and are masquerading as residents and workers

442
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: while lying because they're in the country illegally.

443
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: She refuses to make.

444
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: That distinction, and it's because it's probably more so in

445
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: California than it is elsewhere.

446
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: But I see it in Chicago, and I see it.

447
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: I used to see it in New York, and you

448
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: see it sometime in Austin, Texas and in Denver. Democrats

449
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 3: care about illegals more than they care about you. Certainly,

450
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: Democrats fight harder for illegals than they fight for you.

451
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: Certainly in Los Angeles, Democrats care about the children of

452
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: illegals more than they care about your children. They never

453
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 3: talk about your children. They always talk about the children

454
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: of illegals. They call them the children of our migrant community.

455
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: But you and I both know what they're talking about.

456
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: They're not talking about you. You never called yourself a

457
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 3: member of the migrant community. You never consider yourself part

458
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: of all residents.

459
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: You live here, it's your city. My favorite one is.

460
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: The undocumented community. That's my favorite. That one was around

461
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: for a while. We went from illegal aliens, which is

462
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 3: what they are. They're alien nationals in the country illegally,

463
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 3: and that is a federal term from the Department of State.

464
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: So that's not a made up pejorative. That is US code.

465
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: That's what you are. And then they that was too unkind,

466
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: so they just became immigrants, and Republicans pushed back and said,

467
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: there's immigrants and there are illegal immigrants, and so they

468
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: moved on because they couldn't get out of that one.

469
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: And they said, well, they're just undocumented. You don't know

470
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: what's going on there. They're just undocumented. And I said,

471
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: that's not even an accurate term. If you are on vacate,

472
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,160

473
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: your backpack stolen at Heathrow Airport and your passport's in

474
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: the backpack.

00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: Now you're undocumented.

476
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,520

477
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,840

Speaker 3: into the United States in the middle of the night

479
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: while throwing rocks at border patrol agents.

480
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: You're not undocumented. You are an illegal alien.

481
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: And somehow all of us understand that distinction, except for

482
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,560
