Charles Barkley Calls Out Trump
Administration Over Unfortunate & Unfair Treatment Of Immigrants: They ‘Built This Country, We Should Admire & Respect Them’

#CharlesBarkley is calling on the Trump administration to do better.

The NBA legend and sports commentator took a moment during a CBS March Madness broadcast on Sunday (Mar. 29) to address #PresidentTrump’s controversial approach to immigration. Following a feature on University of Connecticut star Alex Karaban, the son of Eastern European immigrants, Barkley said, “I love that kid and his family, but the way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace.”

Barkley also emphasized there’s a difference between “amazing immigrants” and “criminal immigrants,” noting that what’s taking place in America right now is “really unfortunate and it’s really unfair.” “But immigrants built this country and we should admire them and respect them,” he added, highlighting that many more immigrant stories deserve recognition and appreciation.
