this lucy flores situation is a microcosm of if joe biden decides to run.know what else if anything is going to come out, but over 36 years as a senator, he said and did a lot of things that he didn't think were inappropriate at the time. but that democratic voters today may have a very different view of. that's not just anita hill, the crime bill, the bankruptcy bill in 2005, his vote for the iraq war. >> the democratic establishment types voted for the iraq war. they all damn well did it. >> many of the other presidential contenders today never cast that vote and won't have to explain it. >> john kerry, they all did it. i didn't like it either. during the 2016 campaign, more than a dozen women, by the way. let's not forget what's going on in the world, accused candidate trump of sexual assault or misconduct. many of them spoke publicly about their experiences. let's listen to that, for memory's sake here. >> it was a real shock when all of a sudden his sands were all over me. he started encroaching on my space. and i hesitate to use this expression, but i

what the judge did though, jenny flores was an unaccompanied minor at the border. but judge and her decision she explained that the children accompanied by mothers -- in the case that she rolled on, it was a mother. it was accompanied by a juvenile. now you hear traffickers, drugwa cartel, those who want to traffic these individuals, those who want to get into this country illegally telling these migrants, that is your visa. they know what is going to happen, she also ruled that the release as quickly as possible. within 20 days. she actually put a number on it. and so they know that if they come with a child, they will be incarcerated for 20 days and then released into the country. so that is there visa into the country. that is why we see between now and 2013 that is almost like a 2000% increase in the number of unaccompanied children being seized at the border. and really if you watch a video of the border, you see -- you don't seem migrants running from cbp, they are running to them. because they know how catch and release works. so they are not trying to avoid
