's "Squawk Box" crew discuss.

SquawkCNBC andrewrsorkin - I tend to appreciate and support most views that you express. On this issue, IMHO, you & proposed Wexton Bill are wrong. Even if passed, it’s effectiveness would be about zero. You cannot fix societal issues by simply adding laws.

SquawkCNBC Didn’t see so much discussing as one host shouting down the other host.

SquawkCNBC Far more people are killed by illegals than mass shooters in any give year Did you know these same banks lend $ to help pay the coyotes ? That makes banks accomplices to crime by enabling the lawlessness Why no outrage at this Sorkin?

SquawkCNBC It's is also a way to get into good people's affairs. Gun runners do not use bank accounts you can see. And after your report for sure, they won't. Sorry, the news can be so stupid.
