'Hearts break, right?' Eric Trump says 'compassionate' for kids his dad plans to deport

0

Eric Trump called himself a "compassionate person" and said "hearts break" for immigrant children who his dad wants to deport if he wins a second term.

During an interview at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, MSNBC host Katy Tur asked Trump about how so-called Dreamers would be treated in his father's second administration. The former president pushed to remove deportation protections from Dreamers during his last term.

"What about the kids who were brought here, who have been working hard, who've only seen this as their home, who only know the U.S.?" Tur said.

"Yeah, and hearts break, right?" Trump replied. "And I'm a compassionate person. I'm actually a much more compassionate person than you could ever possibly imagine."

"You know, but what about, what about our citizens?" he added. "You know, what about the illegal immigrants who are literally taking up every single room in New York City hotels at taxpayer dollars while our taxpayers struggle, while veterans in this country are sleeping under underpasses all over the nation?"

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that cities could punish homeless people for sleeping outside.
