Before President Trump greeted the children waiting on the South Lawn for the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, he fired off tweets and spoke to reporters about his views on ending DACA, before including his thoughts on immigration in his speech to an audience full of young kids and their parents.

On Monday night's Late Show, Seth Meyers took "A Closer Look" at the day's events, questioning why Trump used his Easter Egg Roll address to talk DACA.

“Who could forget how Christ rose on the third day and said unto his followers, ‘We gotta do something about all these Mexicans!'" Meyers said. “I bet every kid who found an egg on the White House lawn is getting a bill within the next week. ‘We have had terrible egg deals for too long! Kids have been taking our eggs! They’re laughing at us!'"

Meyers also dug into criticisms of Trump's DACA comments, imagining a conversation between one of the event's child attendees and the president.

“Now, obviously those kids didn’t say anything,” Meyers said. “But if they did, I imagine it would be something like, ‘In order to qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, you have to have lived here continuously since 2007 and been under 16 when you arrive, which means no one arriving now would qualify for the program. And on top of that, you’re the one that canceled it last year after which you rejected multiple bipartisan compromises to save it. So what you’re saying makes absolutely no sense. Now shut up and give us our (expletive) eggs!’”
