<\/p>\nRUSH: Grab sound bites number 4 and 5. I want to share this with you. I mentioned earlier in the program, there was a hearing at the House Oversight and Reform Committee on child separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, and one of the witnesses was the former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director, Thomas Homan, who is the epitome of a patriot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This guy has been defending ICE ever since people like Cortez and her Squad began to defame it. He\u2019s a fixture on Fox News. And he pulls no punches. He loves this country. He very much appreciates his old job and the people who do it now. And he is resentful as he can be that he and his Border Patrol agents are now being compared to concentration camp guards, that they eagerly and excitedly separate children from their parents because that\u2019s what America does, that\u2019s one of the flaws, America needs to be fixed, Americans separate children from their families.<\/p>\n
What an absolute crock! If you really think that, then you must hate this country. That\u2019s not the policy. We\u2019re not evil and devious in that way. Plus, we\u2019re talking about people illegally here. We\u2019re talking about people illegally seeking asylum. So it was time for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to do what she thought was going to humiliate and embarrass Thomas Homan. She says, “You provided the official recommendation to Secretary Nielsen for the United States to pursue family separation?\u201d<\/p>\n
HOMAN: I gave Secretary Nielsen numerous recommendations on how to secure the border and save lives.<\/p>\n
OCASIO-CORTEZ: But it says here that you — you gave her numerous options, but the recommendation was option 3, family separation.<\/p>\n
HOMAN: What I\u2019m saying, this is not the only paper where we\u2019ve given the secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives.<\/p>\n
OCASIO-CORTEZ: And so the recommendation — of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation.<\/p>\n
HOMAN: I recommended zero tolerance.<\/p>\n
OCASIO-CORTEZ: Which includes family separation?<\/p>\n
HOMAN: The same as it is with every U.S. citizen, parent gets arrested when they\u2019re with a child.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (imitating Cortez) \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Well, if you\u2019re driving along and you\u2019ve got your crumb cruncher in the car and you\u2019re arrested for speeding or mowing something down, guess what happens? You get separated from your kid after you get arrested. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not quite sure what to make of this. She kept plodding.<\/p>\n
