"In fact, if more border security and more and more deportations were going to bring our Republican brothers and sisters to the table, it would have happened long ago."
"The fact of the matter is, and let's say it in our debate because you'll never hear this from that immigrant-bashing carnival barker Donald Trump," O'Malley said, to applause and a smile from Hillary Clinton.
