Should immigration be tied to this spending bill . This is a subject at hand for the week. This is the number for republicans. You can land by six social media. You can send us an email. This immigration story is front and center as you can imagine on a lot of the papers this morning. This is usa today. Friday is the deadline for congress to act. This is wall street journal. Deadline nears on security funding. There is the setup this morning on what should be an interesting and active week on this topic. Join us by phone is jeff mason from reuters. What is the president s posture on this bill . Is it likely to change . Guest i think it will not change. His posture is he believes the congress should fund dhs. He believes he was within executive authority to issue the orders announced last year. That would shield up to 5 Million Immigrants or undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Schools, where less than half of the kids that graduate. And those who graduate are nowhere near ready to go to college or go to work. We have seen across the state and across the country and in most states, Charter Schools public Charter Schools popping up. And giving parents hope, giving them a chance to get those kids out of failing schools. I said the other day in the rules committee, because it was so moving to me, i went to a Charter School in north minneapolis, 430 kids in that school, their parents are delighted with the education theyre getting now and thrilled to have gotten their kids out of failing schools and when i asked the principal and founder of the school if she could take more kids she said no, this is the right size for this school. They would like to replicate this school and thats what this bill allows and how successful is it . There are 1,000 kids 1,000 kids on the witnessing list to get into that Charter Schools because parents want to get out of failing schoo
Students. That was pretty interesting. Looks i was so happy when i saw you guys together. You will be together for the rest of your lives. As over 5,000 people attend the funeral of the three Muslim Students murdered in chapel hill, we will hear one of the victims, yusor abusalha, in her own words. Last year, she went into a storycorps booth to record an interview with her third grade teacher. Then to the case of Jessica Hernandez, the 16yearold girl shot dead by Denver Police last month. Five teenagers, no reason for you to open fire on any teenager a matter what. I understand if someone pulled a gun or something, but there was no incident whatsoever. He got hit by a car. My cousin got shot dead. We will also go into a Denver Church where a mexican undocumented immigrant has sought sanctuary in an attempt to stay in the United States with his nineyearold and 15yearold daughters and wife. And we will speak to david sirota on the plot against pensions. All that and more, coming up. Welc
Thank you very much. [applause] thank you, im happy to take questions, eager to take questions which i understand there are mics at both sides. Sitting in the middle, please come to the aisle, thank you. Question over here. So thanks for a great talk. My question is related to how you get everybody and their individual issues to align this greater issue, right, whether its either health care, environment, the lists go on. It seems like there is an emotional piece. How do i place my emotional fervor around Climate Change and if leslie, the bigger issue is the first issue. Its hard for me to get emotional about this bigger one and take that same emotion and pour it into this underlying piece. That is my discussion, my question. Right. So and this is a general problem that people have described around this Reform Movement for many years. I think the first step is to recognize something about how you cannot get what you want. I dont think its enough to think about how i cant get what i wan
