It's on old — 2024 — clip, but his sentiments and his actions haven’t changed. (Updated)
/I’ll correct one thing: Murphy refers to them (26 seconds in) as “undocumented Americans who are in this country”, not “migrants”. Telling, that.
Senator Chris Murphy: "The people we care about most, the undocumented migrants"

UPDATE
Fox News provides the context:
In the clip, posted on Monday night by the conservative influencer account End Wokeness, MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Murphy in 2024 about negotiations between Democrats and Republicans happening at the time about a border security bill. Hayes pressed Murphy on why Democrats were pushing to get funding for Ukraine instead of pushing for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, as the party had done in the past.
"Well, I mean, Chris, that’s been a failed play for 20 years," Murphy replied. "So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country."
