Carson compared his HUD plan to flight attendants telling passengers to put on their oxygen masks before helping others.
In defending the Department of Housing and Urban Development's plan to evict undocumented immigrant families from their homes, HUD Secretary Ben Carson said Tuesday that the U.S. needs to"take care of your own first."
The HUD secretary drew a comparison between his plan and flight attendants telling passengers to put on their oxygen masks before helping others. “If someone can tell me how to follow the law and still take care of their issue, I’ll hear it,” Carson said. “Until we’re willing collectively, both Democrats and Republicans, to sit down and solve the problem, we’re going to continue to have these problems pop up.”
“I don’t think you’re mean-spirited at all,” Vargas said. “I have to say, taking these 55,000 children and putting them on the street is mean-spirited. I don’t think it’s your nature.”
