Welcome back to "hardball." there are 11 million people in this country illegally right now, we know, so what would be the cost of the government allowing them to become full participating citizens? well, the conservative heritage foundation says the cost of legalizing those people, as outlined in gang of eight immigration bill, being led by senators rubio, schumer, mccain, and others, could be in the trillions. in fact, up around 6 trillion. heres what heritage foundation president, jim demint,...

Does manchin have a dance partner on this. >> he shed one of his dance partners. we call this the manchin-toomey bill. it was chuck schumer. my favorite part of the interview only thing the senator said would change with perhaps this reduction that chuck schumer is no longer involved because he is highly controversial to those who think he is much more liberal than what this bill is trying to pretend it is for republicans to jump on board. schumer of course was the one in congress spearheaded th...

Schumer, a big part is border security and identifying the individuals that are here in doing this. it also comes as whether you want to call it amnesty or legalization or whatever your term of art is, it comes with this. it creates anxiety for a lot of people. because not all 11 million people will be subject an f.b.i. background screening. >> megyn: dzhokar tsarnaev who did not raise the red flag with the f.b.i. other he was a family member and who was granted citizenship. this is the man were...

Important question that well find the answer to. was there anything the fbi, could have, should have done. based on what frig my prior experience, the answer is probably no. there was an end of the line here to what they could do. and i think were going to have to learn when taermland came back and started posting these videos, was there any trigger that should have alerted not just law enforcement but the local community within which he resided. were talking about the top down element of this. ...

Different government saying could you check on this guy, or we think this guy this, or we think that guy that. and he points out that russia has not been -- and chechnya has not been a place from which terrorists are training and then come to the u.s. he said he couldnt think of a single case. >> then you asked in your show whether this could potentially slow immigration reform, the efforts already in the pipeline right now on the milhill. do they believe it will? >> they believe it will be atte...

You will have a lot of republicans raising reservation. >> just from a fact-based point of view -- im not naive enough to think this matters but i want to say it once. national security professionals want to know who is here. having a status to legalization and decreasing the number of folks who are here out of stat us, decreasing the number of people who are hiding from authority, who might be afraid to go to authorities if someone they know is doing something they dont -- you know, national se...

She blames the president. and i think he had four democrats that he could have brought over but even if he got those four she up to 58. he could have gotten coburn. no way they get coburn at this point. the politics of the internal politics of new york and andrew cuomo is -- poll polarizing figure in some way. nowhere near the polarizing figure obama is. the idea that obama could have won over more republican votes i think is preposterous. >> i think that the critique from the left on the presid...

I can answer your second question. i believe we can. as far as the increased crossing of the border, i think part of it has to do with the economy. part of it has to do with sequestration. anyone who came after december 31st, 2011, will not be eligible for this legalized status and eventual path to citizenship. i want to thank chuck schumer for coming to the border and seeing it and seeing the immensity of the problem. frankly, being an advocate for arizona and border control. people are skeptic...

>> this is not about making a process thats hard on people for the sake of being hard on them. we need to stand the problem here. the problem is it cant be cheaper, easier and faster to come illegally than it is to come legally. >> for the estimated 11 million here illegally, the proposal would create a 13-year path to citizenship which would include paying a $2,000 fine. passing a background check and having a job. early reaction from the white house was positive. >> these are compatible ideas....
