Assets to control the border that ought to be a straightforward idea. ask will this enable us to control the border? if the answer is no it is inadequate. the fact is this is inadequate. >> greta: maybe im paying too much attention to this bill. it feels like it has been pulling teeth to get the united states to get things moving in congress. president obama in 2008 said he was going to make sure when -- at least he was going to work on immigration reform. is this pulling teeth or is this unwill...

Shadows. >> greta: everyone really does want our nation to be safe and secure. republican, democrat, independent, everybody wants us safe and secure then the question what to do with the 11, 12, 13 million. guest worker program is we know who is here we keep track. why is it that republicans tell me they are for it democrats tell me they are for it, yet we fight? >> i dont know. i think frankly the people who have been the most aggressive at trying to deal with immigration have insisted on some ...

To do so. >> i guess that is my point, just to follow up on this, there seems to be strong support at some level for securing the border but not the parts, including, you know guest worker program and so forth. how does this differ from that snuff both parties can support. where does the rest come from? >> well, i think the efforts on overall immigration reform are ongoing, but the point im making is that you need to multitask. you need to secure the board and have a safe and secure border area ...

Argument that the law would have led to massive discrimination. he files a lawsuit with the justice department arguing pre-emption, not discrimination. why did he do it? the lawsuit is a political ploy. obamas concerned the latinos are losing faith in him because he promised he was going to do something on immigration the first year of his administration and he didnt do it. he talks about hes for immigration reform. he gives a speech at american university in july of an election year. is he real...
