We see it. >> her lack of experience or lack of diplomatic experience going into this post, does that give you any cause, or is it a positive that someone who was critical during the primaries of donald trump and is a woman and is a person of color, from an immigrant background, brings at least some diversity to this cabinet, despite the criticism that it is all white male billionaires? >> well, it does. and i actually appreciated her responses to my questions. i wish it was her positions that w...

This is a latin american man speaking with that accent as an immigrant to a country where immigrants are really under duress right now and being targeted by bigotry. i think that in and of itself was so moving and really wonderful. >> he started that way bringing up immigrant background as son of immigrants coming from italy. it is interesting that the president pronounced the capital of argentina with a very spanish accent. he just said buenas aires. >> i believe the excitement around your visi...

Decades, who are good people, who have no criminal record, and just to give them a work visa, i dont know if thats enough. i think we should definitely give them a path to legal status that goes beyond just a work visa. let me say, his proposal is constructive and would be well received by latino voters. i think on this issue, ben carson was very constructive. >> i want to get to marco rubio. he says we should use an e-verify system to track immigrants and also quite effective when he spoke of h...
