EXCERPT:
DE BLASIO: “Americans do not like the notion of the knock at the door and government authorities taking people away. So I think what's happened is the frustration that people felt about their economic reality or the frustration they felt about the disorder at the border -- which was real, that was honest frustration -- that's going to be quickly replaced, I believe, by people saying, 'Wait a minute. We never signed up for actual mass deportation and -- and something that looks like a police state.' That's just not American.”
