00:00Yes, he is.

00:01Are you supportive of those and do you feel that they make up for some of the less popular

00:05provisions he took earlier this month?

00:07It is very important that we permit families to stay unified when someone is married to

00:17a U.S. citizen, permitting those families to stay together so that little children don't

00:22have to wonder when they go off to school in the morning whether or not mama or daddy

00:27will still be there when they get home late in the afternoon.

00:32The President, once again, is doing what Joe Biden does best.

00:35He is using his tools to try to advance the values of the American people and that means

00:43treating our families as important and helping those families that have mixed legal status

00:51on immigration.

00:53I strongly support him on that.

00:55Should you have taken that executive action earlier this month, turning away people at

00:58the border?

00:59Look, what should have happened, if you want to do the should-its, is Congress should have

01:03acted.

01:04And you may remember that there was a deal negotiated between Democrats and Republicans,

01:09what's it been, eight months ago now?

01:12And once it was negotiated, we thought we had a plan to move forward and Donald Trump

01:17said no.

01:18He wanted chaos at the border because he thinks it's going to be helpful to him in the election.

01:23The President is now in a position of saying he wants Congress to act, but if Congress

01:27won't act, he's going to use every tool in his toolbox to try to both give us security

01:33at the border and to try to protect families.

01:36Did you support that executive order?

01:38It is not how I would have approached it, but I do appreciate that right now what the

01:43President is doing is he's saying families are important to Americans and that we are

01:48going to do everything we can to protect the spouses of American citizens.

01:52They should not have to fear deportation.

01:55And the fact that we have gotten this far before this has been done is actually pretty

01:59outrageous.

02:00So, I applaud what the President's doing, I thank him for that, and I still say it's

02:05on Congress's shoulders to act.

02:08If the Republicans and Donald Trump hadn't blocked us, we would have.

02:12And we've got to get land.

02:13Thank you.
