Walters, however, said, in an interview with Fox News Digital, that such movements may be needed to prevent family separation.
‘Are the Democrats and now the left -wing media the party of the Separation family? If you have adults being deported from this country, do you not want the Trump administration to know where their children are, where they are registered at school, so that if the family has to be deported, they are actually deported together? “He asked.
It led to a furious back and forth with CNN-Gastheer Brianna Keary, who asked him if it would be traumatic for children.
“Do you think it would be traumatic for students to witness a raid at their school and students who have been removed from their school violently? Do you think that would be traumatic?”

Walters replied: “I think what would be traumatic is if your President Trump would not give the information needed to keep families together. So what you would rather have is just the parents deport and the children have no idea What happened to their parents?
“That is not what I ask. I ask you … That is not at all what I ask, chief inspector,” Keile interrupted again.
Many members of the media also have problems with a recent change of rule due to the Oklahoma State Board of Educationentitled “Enrollment Transparency”, which requires that each school district reports the number of students that are registered in schools that cannot provide proof of citizenship or legal status. According to the rule, the new policy is designed to “offer more transparency” and to “support the needs” of the schools and students.
“We say we want to see your driver’s license, we want to see which country you are coming from, if you have come to the country illegally. I think that is a very commons and requirement that we post there. We want you to make sure we are for this Ask information so that we can accurately use resources and staff in the state to train our children, “Walters explained. “I think our taxpayers or our citizens understand that. And on the left, the American people try to gas lights in order to worn, a kind of absurd question.”

And we try to ensure that the Trump administration has the information to continue with the most aggressive deportation policy In the history of our nation, the American people support it clearly, “he said.
“The president won an overwhelming victory with his election. He won every swing state. He won every province in Oklahoma. So you look at this and you say: ‘CNN, left -wing media, democrats, you don’t want it really conversation because it requires you to admit that you have made this problem. “Now the adults are in charge of repairing it by closing the border, to deport illegal immigrants,” he said.

Walters also pointed to the impact of illegal immigration in schools in Oklahoma, including the necessary distraction of resources.
“While the left continues to go out and defend the cause of illegal immigrant criminals, we look at the American citizen, Oklahomans, and we are saying here: ‘Listen, what about the child who is more than a year behind reading who we we Have now submitted in a guidance program? “
“Outlets such as CNN and other left -wing points of sale refuse to talk about the compassion for the families of the victims who are the target of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. They refuse to talk about compassion when it is your students of American citizens who are left behind who are hit at school to come back and yet all their resources are moved at the last minute, “he said.”
He also pointed to the current drugs and criminals to the US via the porous southern border.

It is complete fake withdrawal that they behave like that,” he said. “They feel sorry for illegal immigrants. They have no compassion for the American citizens, for the American people, for the American employee. And Americans are tired of it.”
Walters also said that other states should follow the example of Oklahoma and support the deportation and border security Effort of the Trump government.

We don’t have to allow illegal immigrants to register for our schools, to work at our schools and not to get that information for the president, for the entire country, before The whole country, “he said.
