YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump addressed the nation Tuesday night in his first primetime speech from the Oval Office. He urged Congress to approve $5.7 billion to build a wall on the U.S.Mexico border, but he opted not to declare a national emergency to force construction of the wall, in a xenophobic speech riddled with falsehoods. We speak with Oscar Chacón, executive director of Alianza Americas, an immigrant rights group based in Chicago.
