“In this current climate it is for me … what happens to immigrants,” replied Obama. “So it is no longer the fear for me. I drive around with a police escort in a four-member car cooling … my fears are what I know happening out there in the city in the city.”

“We have a guided tour that is indiscriminately defined and who does not, and we know that these decisions are not made with dishes and with proper procedure,” she said.
