DNC Chair Goes After Trump And Sessions For Deportation Comments
Tom Perez, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Chairman on Sunday called Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions “cruel” for their deportation comments.
“Jeff Sessions just verified Trump’s radical and extreme plan to target 11 million undocumented immigrants for mass deportation,” Perez said in a statement.
“Trump and Sessions’ cruel proposal to target millions of immigrants will rip apart families, deport integral members of our communities, create chaos across our country, and will take critical resources away from law enforcement. This is not who we are as a country.”
Sessions indicated that Dreamers would face potential deportation under the Trump administration. “Well, we’ll see. I believe that everyone that enters the country unlawfully is subject to being deported; however, we’ve got — we don’t have the ability to round up everybody and there’s no plans to do that,” Sessions told ABC’s “This Week.”
