As CBS set the stage for Sunday evening’s Elite Eight game between UConn and Duke, the network aired a feature segment on Huskies forward Alex Karaban and his family, who are immigrants from the Eastern European country of Belarus.
In an emotional, off-script response to the Karabans’ story, TNT Sports commentator Charles Barkley used the opportunity to call for fairer treatment of immigrants in the United States.
After stating that he wanted to be “careful” addressing the “touchy” subject of immigration policy, Barkley delivered a fervent defense of “amazing immigrants” in America and called for better treatment of foreign-born individuals in the U.S.
“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 said.
