President Donald Trump recently came out with a new proposal meant to combat illegal immigration, suggesting that migrants be relocated to so-called sanctuary cities. The president is putting pressure on Democrats, looking for a way to, he claims, relieve border towns suffering from the consequences of what he describes as an immigration crisis.
New Jersey Senator and Democratic presidential contender Cory Booker discussed the issue on Saturday with CBS News, opining that Trump’s plan would make Americans “less safe.”
The host, Margaret Brennan, asked Booker about Trump’s threat, suggesting that the president is deliberately creating “friction” in order to pressure the Democrats to comply with his agenda.
“You say ‘friction’ — I say he’s trying to pit Americans against each other and make us less safe,” Booker said. The Democrat added that Trump is “injecting fear” into the United States, refusing to answer whether he takes Trump’s threats seriously or not.
