romney got back in 2012 from the hispanic vote. that is the lowest ever for a republican president, and that is what sent republicans into scramble mode in order to get this done so they can try to repair the damage that they really admit they've done with the hispanic electorate. >> so you can see how border security can sound like a good thing and bad thing all in one sentence. gloria, is beefing up security problematic when it comes to democrats? you can't just assume they're in the bag for this. >> democrats -- the problem the democrats had was that there was a goal of a 90% apprehension rate, or with a requirement, i should say, in the original bill that you have a 90% apprehension rate. now that may become a goal instead of a requirement in exchange for all these boots on the ground at the border. very important.
