6:14Now PlayingAccording to multiple sources at CNN, during Donald Trump’s recent trip down to the border he instructed border agents to lie to federal judges by saying that the “country is full” and we can’t accept any immigrants. Instructing someone to lie under oath is a felony, and at this point we can just add it to the long list of felonies that we know the President has committed. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

So last Friday, Donald Trump traveled down to the southern border to check out his little stretch of border wall. Saw his little plaque there hanging on the border wall saying this part of the border wall was Donald J. Trump. Oh, it's a beautiful plaque. Unfortunately, that was actually not the part of the border wall that he had anything to do with that part was already there. So I'm sure future generations, it can be a little confused about that. Um, but sure he went down to visit his monument of xenophobia is what we should call it. But while he was there, in addition to patting himself on the back for something he didn't actually do, what he did do was tell border patrol agents according to multiple sources who spoke to CNN and CNN being present there. He told border patrol agents to break the law.
He instructed federal agents to commit perjury when they have to go in front of judges, immigration judges. Here's what he told them to say, we're full. Our system's full. Our country's full can't come in. Our country is full. What can you do? We can't handle anymore. Our country is full. Can't come in. I'm sorry. It's very simple. Um, then he said if judges give you trouble, say sorry judge, I can't do it. We don't have the room as if the United States has some kind of crappy motel on Labor Day weekend. Oh, sorry. Yeah. We got a ton of people in here. We can't accommodate you right now and maybe come back next weekend. I think we got some openings in Montana. I won't know. We're just gonna have to play that by ear. Let me put it this way. Countries not full. It's not, not by a long shot.
You know, actually that's part of the, the, the thing we've been talking about recently with everybody talking about the electoral college and you've got all these, you know, Midwestern states that have the population size as an entire state, that it's smaller than some cities along the coast here in the United States. Yeah. Those states have plenty of room. We're not full as a country. On top of that, 75% of people in this country think that immigration immigrants coming here is actually a net positive for this country because it is. I've used this example before and I'm going to use it again in Georgia a few years ago, they passed the law eliminating the H2B visa program or its equivalent at the state level. Basically they wanted to keep immigrants out. Even migrant workers. Do you know what happened? State lost billions of dollars in economic activity. Farmers went bust because they had nobody to go out and pick the crops.
