Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., challenged panelists on a CNN segment Sunday to give their home addresses to people hoping to cross the U.S. border if they are so concerned about family separations occurring in the aftermath of the Trump administration’s decision to prosecute all illegal immigrants.
