You never know what you're going to get when you put Charles Barkley on TV.
The legendary NBA star turned TV personality is known for sounding off on a whole number of topics, from basketball to San Antonio women to food and more.
Barkley's latest unpredictable rant happened during an NCAA Tournament halftime show. The former NBA star got very political, sounding off on President Trump's immigration policies. He did not hold back.
The Turner Sports analyst was speaking about UConn star Alex Karaban, who was born to immigrants from Belarus and Ukraine. Barkley said that he loves Karaban and his family, but noted immigration is a "very touchy subject" for him.

Barkley ripped President Trump's administration for how immigrants are being treated in this country.
"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace," Barkley said.
"I think there's a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants, and I think what’s going on in our country, what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad."
"That's a great immigrant story ... but some of the stuff happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate and is really unfair, but immigrants built this country, and we should admire them and respect them."
President Trump made immigration policies a major part of his campaign, and he's following through on that, though clearly not in a way that Charles Barkley is in favor of.
