Scott Jennings Reads Crimes of Convicted Illegals Sent to South Sudan: The Country Is Too Good for These People

SINGLETON: “But my point is, broadly speaking, for the most part, we have no idea who the people are, who are coming into our country illegally. Number two, it is an excessive strain on all resources across the board: health care, crime, school, education, health care. We don‘t have — I keep saying this, I don‘t know why Democrats don‘t understand. We don‘t have unlimited resources — “
PHILLIP: “Okay, but my question was — I know, but my question was, why are they — “
SINGLETON: “ — to not — as a deterrent, to make it clear, if you‘re coming to the country, you will get sent somewhere you do not want to go.”
PHILLIP: “The idea here is that — is that we are going to deter people by saying, ‘You committed a crime here,’ maybe they did, ‘and we‘re going to send you — ‘“
SINGLETON: “No, there’s no ‘maybe.’ They did.”
PHILLIP: “Hold on.”
SINGLETON: “Okay. Sorry. Go ahead.”
PHILLIP: “‘We‘re going to send you to a country where we‘re saying there‘s a civil war happening, there‘s a genocide occurring there.’ We don‘t know what‘s going to happen to them. Why not send them back to their countries of origin, which is what we do with everybody else?”
SINGLETON: “We don‘t know what‘s going to happen to them there either.”
PHILLIP: “I think that’s exactly the point.”
SINGLETON: “And they have broken the law, Abby. When you come into the country, you‘ve committed a felony. And number two, you have to deter this behavior from continuing to happen because it has become a problem for this country.”
PHILLIP: “Okay. So the deterrence is like, El Salvador will send them to places where they might face imminent death?”
SINGLETON: “Absolutely. Because that sends a message: If you come to the United States and break our laws, violate our immigration laws, it will have severe consequences.”
PHILLIP: “Okay. So for unspecified crimes, we don‘t know exactly what all these people were convicted of — “
JENNINGS: “I know what — I wrote it down. Can I read it?”
PHILLIP: “Hold on a second. They were convicted — maybe they were convicted of very serious crimes.”
JENNINGS: “I‘ll read it.”
PHILLIP: “The penalty that the Trump Administration says is appropriate, potentially could be death. Right?”
JENNINGS: “I mean, I‘ll read it. Sex offenders, homicide, kidnapping, murder in the first degree, battery, larceny, cocaine possession, murder, robbery, DUI, child sex abuse and sex assault on someone with a mental illness. Sudan is too good for these people. And I‘m not sure any other country would take ‘em.”
PHILLIP: “What about their home country?”
JENNINGS: “I‘m not sure they‘ll take them. Would you take that person away?”
PHILLIP: “How do you know that?”
UNKNOWN: “Well, one of them came from Cuba. I have to say — “
PHILLIP: “No, no, how do you know that?”
JENNINGS: “I don‘t care what we do with them. These are heinous, violent criminals, and they do not need to be here. That‘s all I know.”
