On Friday\u2019s broadcast of CNN International\u2019s \u201cThe Brief,\u201d Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) objected to President Donald Trump asking for more money for ICE when \u201cWe have American citizens whose parents are undocumented in this country that are being deported.\u201d<\/p>\n
Host Jim Sciutto asked, \u201cI wonder how your constituents are experiencing this war and the economic effects of this war. Gas prices are now 37% higher than at the start of the war, and California, in particular, seeing big jumps in gas prices. What are you hearing from your constituents?\u201d<\/p>\n
Correa answered, \u201c80, $90 to fill my gas tank this last week, okay. You talk about the war, prices are going up everywhere, food prices, gas prices, you talk about the war. We have American citizens whose parents are undocumented in this country that are being deported. I say this to you because, now, the President is asking for more money for ICE, more money for the Department of Homeland Security, while he\u2019s cutting back on TSA. I don\u2019t understand the logic behind this ask for more money for the military and cutting back everywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n
