Youre denying you are in your denial. in this case, eric cantor. second, know who your friends are. he believed she was a friend because he thinks hes to the right of the other candidate. but either she doesnt agree or shes so certain hes going to lose tomorrow that she doesnt want to look like shes backing a loser. now on the policy, lets look at the pledge. its a right wing litmus test, which poses the question to candidates, will you promise to protect american workers? >> so you wont sign th...

The flow of illegal immigrants and guest workers into america to take jobs that americans need to be having is just rejected by the people once its clearly articulated. >> and senator, were just about out of time so i need a yes or no answer from you. do you think immigration reform is dead or alive right now on capitol hill through the midterm elections? >> the big business and special interests and political interests want it still and im trying to make it happen but i think this election was ...

Citizenship? that is not clear. there is a very, very tenuous coalition over labor on how to deal with guest workers that are brought here to the country. how do they structure that program, can they keep that coalition together? there are a lot of unanswered questions here and a one-page document is not going to be enough to get it through congress. we need meat on the bone. >> well see what the meet looks like. maria teresa, what weve seen so far, from what youve seen, is this enough for the c...

Constituents and important to the constituents of the others, but how do you con rinse other republicans to join you? >> i think thats an economic argument as well. >> for me, not only do i have a large latino population, we have a large ag community. we have a district that depends on guest workers. we have a large latino population in our schools so we have to address this from a california perspective, but across the nation, right now we just saw the fiscal shutdown. well be dealing with that...

Dont like it necessarily. we know we dont like it. thats more what theyre trying to overcome. its more talk radio than any organized opposition. >> are people like cory gardner. is there a reason to think there wont be an immigration bill? i would have to think his most preferred option is not to vote for it or against it but to never have to take a position on the issue. it wont necessarily be a big campaign issue in a future senator race or governors race for him. are people like him putting p...
