Boarder is being secured but that report comes back and is voted on in congress. this is my idea that i have been promoting and it will be an amendment for a substitute for their bill is that each year over a five or six year period we have to have a report by an investigator general from the gao that comes back and says the boarder is secure. conservatives like my myself have been for is step wise immigration reform if the border is secure. i think a promise from president obama is an empty pro...

Moving along quite well. that said, the president wants everybody to get this thing done before the august recess, the senate it if it does not happen ongoing with senate democrats. if they dont get it done by then, the president will introduce his own legislation which in all likelihood would not include border enforcement. a lot of republicans see that as a poison pill. that said, virtually everybody who is in attendance at todays hearing says that the immigration system today is broken and is...

The fact that somebody like eric cantor, who is in some ways obviously in the house and a leader there, the fact that he is willing to talk about this, a pathway to citizenship at least for those children who were brought here illegally. youll see the president lay out a much more left position on this, saying that the 11 million should have a quicker pathway to citizenship. that is where i think the sticking point will be, how quickly these folks who are here illegally, how quickly theyre going...

Jobs component to it. this has to be a compromise in the end. we have to have smart, not just tough border enforcement. let me say something about that. because ive heard a lot of talk that we got to toughen the border. according to the migration policy institute, we have a net minus and flow backwards, not to the united states. so the idea that we have to increase the budget for border enforcement when we already spend 20% more than the entire budget for the fbi, the dea, and the atf really kin...

Were stinging from the 2012 election are open to a comprehensive fix of some kind. >> theres a growing recognition by republicans. they want to get the issue behind them so they can make inroads among latinos on the issue of jobs, opportunities, values. this is a culturally conservative and entrepreneurially minded part of our electorate. >> any kind of a deal will come down to a balancing act between better long-term border enforcement and offering the pathway to citizenship and a trigger wheth...

So they understand border enforcement and what happens, is that the republican party, you will only hear the outrageous statements about send everybody home and pick up the 11 receive -- million . take the kids born here and brought here illegally and send them home. ronald reagan parts of the dream act that ronald reagan would not support and he has president would bring people in the white house and find areas of agreement and sign that legislation and sign on to that piece of legislation. we ...
