“There are those who believe that we already have too many people of color in this country,” Green told DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday.
Rep. Al Green used his time Wednesday during a hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to provide a brief history of immigration into the United States, and he accused President Donald Trump of being in the camp that believes the country has already reached its “color quota.”
“They’re required to enforce a corrupt policy,” Green told Nielsen. “A policy that separates babies from their mothers, places them in cages. I was at the border, I saw those babies locked up on top of each other. We would not treat animals … the Humane Society wouldn’t allow it the way those babies were treated.”
Green paused, and said, “and these,” and Green began tapping his finger before continuing, “one of whom happens to be the President of the United States of America.”“White babies would not be treated the way these babies of color are being treated, Madame Secretary,” Green said. “This is about color. We’ve opened our doors. Your tired, your poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Except now we have our quota of people of color.
Green said “Scarface” was a “bootlegger, dealt in prostitution, gambling, one of the greatest criminals this country’s ever suffered.”
