why would you pick a 22-year-old white male if you re just shooting anybody? so you have a white person does that change the dynamics of the discussion? we re going to find that out. but i will say this. what s the most common form of interracial hate crime is black on white. greta, when i did a book one of my recent books i went down to the fbi statistics because the post doesn t do it. more than one year, 2007, 433,000 attacks by black on whites. one eighth of that by whites on black. at the same time, the black community was five times as small i mean one fifth the size of white community. add it up. the idea of racial hate crimes is 40 times more prevalent in the black community than the white community. and nobody talks about it. we could also join we could sort of bypass this whole race issue whether trayvon martin or balance ondowns people, also join together and

it was a turning point. in is where nixon s southern strategy and reagan infamous visit to philadelphia, mississippi, in 1980, in the demise of liberal republicanism. this is where they all have their roots. in the 13 presidential elections before 1964, that s the elections from 1912 to 1960, if you added up all of the electoral votes won by each party in the old confederacy, you would get 1,355 for democrats and only 231 for republicans, 54 for third-party candidates. now take the 13 elections since 1964. from that goldwater/lbj race through obama/romney last year, add it up and you get the complete opposite. 1,359 for republicans. only 423 for democrats. 47 for third parties. the third party was basically george wallace, segregationist democrat who ran as independent in 1968. it s gotten progressively worse for democrats. for a while they could win back some of the south by nominating
border security, are those goals realistic? i think everyone hopes they are but the question is can they be. but i think overall, it s important for the country first for the republican party second that we get a bill that s workable and it s a good bill and that can be enforced. it s not going to be easy. implementation is going to be a hurdle too, but i think we can do it. the simpson mazolli bill was passed in 86 and signed into law in president reagan. while it was touted as a solution to the immigration problem, something on enforcement, something on legalization, it failed badly. here are a few reasons why it failed. we ought to know this when we pass this bill. it failed to curtail the flow of illegal immigrants. the original system got watered down so much, all employers had to do was make sure an immigrant s paperwork reasonably appears on its face to be genuine. there s a pretty good piece of counterfeit. if the documents were decent fakes, the boss wasn t responsible. add
if the documents were decent fakes, the boss wasn t responsible. add it up and the number of illegal immigrants soared to 11 million today. victoria, i want to ask you about that question. my belief is if we pass a joke again, we ll have just as much anger about illegal immigration. this issue is never going to go away. the social turmoil is not going to go away. assimilation is not going to be any better. we ll just have hell on wheels again for 20 more years. do you have confidence or do you believe in a bill that is going to be tough as well as lenient in terms of the path to citizenship? chris, i do. and when we re talking about the 1986 law and we compare it to the present legislation, we re comparing apples to oranges because even though there were provisions for border enforcement, they were really minimal. in 1993, there was only about 353 million allocated to border security. now we have close to $7 billion allocated to border security. again, you pointed out e-verify really
