Immigrants.
They're the one thing Donald Trump hates more
than reading and suits that fit.
And who can blame him?
Immigrants are responsible for two of his worst marriages.
Since Trump began his campaign,
he's had it out for illegal immigrants,
and it feels like every week
the Trump administration rolls out a new policy
aimed at drop-kicking immigrants out of America.
But this week was a doozy.
An exclusive NBC news report
has revealed a new plan within the White House
that could target over 20 million immigrants
living in the U.S. legally.
The trump administration is preparing to take its hard line
approach to immigration to the next level
With a program that would make it more difficult
for legal immigrants in this country
to become citizens or simply to get green cards.
REPORTER: This proposal comes from White House
senior advisor Stephen Miller.
That's right. Trump is now coming for legal immigrants.
And I just wanted to say, thank you so much for having me.
I, uh...
I've had a wonderful time.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I always thought
I would get kicked out of America,
but I thought it would be for the way I say "zeh-bra,"
uh, not just for being an immigrant. Yeah.
And I'm-I'm gonna stick with that. It's "zeh-bra," okay?
It's just like "Debra," but with a zed.
And it's not a "Z"-- it's a zed.
But, l-look, I'm getting carried away. I'm getting carried away.
(cheering and applause)
Trump is coming for legal immigrants.
And, really, it's no surprise
that this latest anti-immigrant policy
is the brainchild of Stephen Miller,
-senior White House advisor and young Mr. Burns. -(hissing)
Because although we don't often hear from Miller,
don't ever forget, he's the mastermind
who shaped many of Trump's cruelest policies,
including the Muslim ban, uh, overturning DACA,
and kids in cages.
Yeah. So this guy is so evil,
Satan has a signed Stephen Miller jersey in his bedroom.
He's like, "Now, that guy's a pro.
I love him, man."
Because where less creative people might say,
"What excuse could there possibly be to get rid of people
who already live here legally?"
Stephen Miller found a way.
REPORTER: The White House effort led by senior advisor
Stephen Miller would make citizenship
or legal status tougher to obtain
if they or anyone in their household has ever used
some public assistance programs in this country.
This could affect up to 20 million legal immigrants
in the United States who are trying to get green cards
or move toward citizenship
if they use programs like Obamacare,
child health insurance, food stamps,
even some tax incentives already built in.
Goddamn.
Cranium over here is an evil genius.
Because you-you see what he's done, right?
They're saying the U.S. won't allow legal immigrants
to stay in the U.S.
if they've ever used what they call "public assistance."
And what's interesting is that that description ranges
from food stamps all the way through to Obamacare,
which, by the way, you had to get by law.
So, thanks, Obama. Yeah.
Some of us don't want to go back to Kenya, okay?
And under this new policy, if you're an immigrant,
they could kick you out for breaking the law
or they could kick you out for following the law.
Yeah. And l-let's just take a moment to acknowledge
just how far this escalator we've come down, right?
Because when Trump began his journey,
his message was this.
We have some bad hombres here, and we're gonna get 'em out.
They're removing the bad ones,
and that's where-where our focus is.
It's the bad ones.
We're looking at the bad ones.
And I said that from day one.
I said, from the day I'm president,
we're getting rid of the bad ones.
Okay, fine. So, first, it was bad hombres. Out.
Right? And who could argue with that?
I mean, "bad" is right there in the name.
Why did they call themselves bad hombres?
I mean, that's the price you pay.
But then, as time progressed, it moved to
"I know there are good hombres,
"but they came here in a bad way.
So adios, muchachos."
Yeah, but that was it.
I mean, those people were "illegal," right?
Everyone else was cool because they came in legally.
And no one loves legal more than Trump.
Donald Trump stands for the rule of law.
He respects the immigrants who came here legally,
who played by the rules,
who waited their turn.
I promise you, he is gonna remain completely focused
on American citizens and people who are here legally...
JAKE TAPPER: I don't understand why--
I want people to come in. I want...
I want immigrants to come in,
but they have to come in legally.
"Legally, folks. Legally.
"Now, it can also be barely legally.
"In fact, I prefer it that way.
But legally either way. Legally."
But now we also see that that's-that's not true anymore.
Right? If you came here legally and you used certain services
you were allowed to use legally,
now the Trump administration is telling you
to get the (bleep) out. Right?
Bad hombres, good hombres, hombres.
And I'll be honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised
if one day he goes after people he considers hombre-ish.
Yeah. And, look, I know, I know in the Constitution
the 14th Amendment says if you were born in the United States,
you're a citizen.
But if Donald Trump had his way,
I think he would get rid of that, too.
The 14th Amendment is very questionable
as to whether or not somebody can come over, have a baby,
and, immediately, that baby is a citizen.
The 14th Amendment, you know, I had these guys tell,
"Oh, you can't change the 14th Amendment. It'll take so long."
On that I agree. But, you know what, an act of Congress--
The 14th Amendment, I was right on it.
You can do something with it, and you can do something fast.
-You can do something fast. -(cheering)
Trump really doesn't know anything
about American politics. He thinks
Congress can do something fast?
That's what he thinks?
That's his idea?
"I've seen them so fast.
"Reminds me of that story, 'Tortoise and the Hare.'
Both superfast, same speed."
But-but you heard him, you heard him.
If Trump had his way, even being born in the U.S.
wouldn't guarantee that you can stay.
Yeah. And I know a lot of people always think
that Trump's immigration "policy" won't affect them.
But here's the way you got to think of it.
Trump's immigration policies are a lot like an STD.
It can get to anybody,
no matter who you are or where you come from.
And the more people it spreads to,
the more likely it is that you'll be the next one
to get Donald-rhea.
