Interesting. A lot of people joking around really don't know anyone or have any connections or money to put behind migrant rescue. But then, people criticizing the rhetoric usually don't have such resources either.
It is good that he's using his platform to call attention to this, and I'm glad he seems to have evolved his stance on immigrants. However, I would hope a former US President who's Vice President is now President would have made a few phone calls about this before yelling at the layman.
