Speaking with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Thursday night, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) accused President Donald Trump of wanting a version of the United States that does not have any people of color in it.

“Do you think that a bill can be made or do you think this is fundamentally existential and cannot be made,” Hayes asked.

“It is fundamentally existential and if he continues to insist on a wall—you just said it so beautifully, Chris; this has never been about a wall. He actually could have gotten funding a couple of years ago, or a year ago, for a wall,” Jayapal replied.

“It was part of a deal that was proposed, not all of us agreed with that deal but it was proposed to him and he turned it down because his ultimate goal is, as you said, to make America ‘pure in the sense of not having immigrants, not having folks of color here, and shutting down every form of legal immigration,” she continued.
