Immigrants, coming it reasonable. Colleen it reasonable. Calling it reasonable. The phone lines are open and we will get to your thoughts in a moment, but first, here is the nominee up on capitol hill in the heart of the day one of the confirmation hearings and her answer about executive action on immigration. [video clip] senator demint i looked at the issues therein from my senator, as i looked at the issues they written from my perspective, i viewed it in the way in which the department of Homeland Security was seeking legal guidance on the most effective way to prioritize the removal of large numbers of individuals. Individuals, given that the resources would not permit everyone who fell within the respective category command that was a framework within which i viewed that. From that perspective, the department of Homeland Securitys request and suggestion that they prioritize the removal of the most dangerous of the undocumented immigrants among us, those who have criminal records for those who are involved in National Security and terrorism, those involved in gang activity, violent crime, along with i believe, people who have recently entered and could pose a threat to our system seem to be a reasonable way to marshal resources to live deal resources to deal with the problem. Host nearly eight hours of questioning theirre. We want your opinion. From the Washington Post, they write you just saw her answer to that. Further down in the article, it says that senator david bitter republican from louisiana, plans to vote against lynch. Also from the Washington Times the report that senator Jeff Sessions said it goes way beyond the law with the president did. Way beyond the law, what the president did. Take a look at what senator sessions had to say yesterday his argument against exam executive action. [video clip] two people apply as a truck driver, one a lawful citizen and the other is not. Under the president s order, the one that is lawfully unlawfully here magically becomes eligible to compete against a not employed american truck driver. I think that is bizarre. And the idea that there are rights you might attach to someone who is here unlawfully to take jobs from an american given the working conditions as they are today is antithetical to common sense. Somebody needs to be asking themselves who is protecting the American Worker . The people who are paying the salaries of view, the president , and all of us. The people who elect us are the people we are most readily accountable for, and that is citizens of the United States. Im worried about that. What kind of claim have you thought about this . Somebody who loses out to a person who claims they are legal to work now because of the president s order, and they did not become a drunk driver a truck driver, and a person who is recently legalized to get the job. Host senator sessions yesterday. Many of you will remember that senator sessions led the fight against the funding of government Purity Department of the Homeland Security department and says now he will vote against the nominee Loretta Lynch, to become the next attorney general. She needs three to clear the Judiciary Committee. We will talk to the chairman of that committee in about 40 minutes or so. But first, your thoughts. Jim in chicago, go ahead. Caller good morning. I was shocked when she made that comment saying that illegals have the same right as american citizens. I know she is a bright lady, but for her to make this comment, i dont know where shes coming from. She is from proobama. Shes basically going to be a puppet for him. For her to make those comments shes antiamerican. The lady is smart and has done a lot in the past, but those comments are really unconstitutional and my void her from being the might avoid her from being an expert attorney general. Host you think they should vote against her . Caller a strong know. Host joe, what you think . Caller i agree with the first color. Im a construction worker. The white collar man seems to be making all the rules for the bluecollar worker. There is a good population out here that should not even be in the country, yet theyve taken the price of construction and pretty much cut in half, the wages. There are not many construction jobs going on anyway with the economy being what it is. Host are you in construction joe . Caller yes. Host and you have experienced that competition . Caller oh, absolutely, it ruins my business. If you use to get for items four dollars for items to work on any building, illegals came in at . 75. And if you dont go after the people that hire them, there is that will happen. If the companies that hire them that are making the money. And these contractors, enlightening, they are traitors. Not everybody is going to be going to college. A good third of the population will be bluecollar workers. And just working of the latter forget it. It used to be in a lot of these trade good work up the ladder and within three years, you could be making 25 an hour. The top pay is 12 after two years. Its because of supply and demand and to many illegals. Host from new jersey, go ahead with your thoughts. Caller yes, i dont agree host youve got to listen to me through the phone. Internet tv off. Caller ok. Host im going to put you on hold. Hopefully, we will be able to come back to you. Going to ray in california. An independent, good morning to you. Oh, i dont think we have ray yet. Let me go back to egypt. Are you make to edith. Are you ready to go . Caller yes, i am. Im a black american and i was organist country. I dont agree with lynchs comment. I just think she wants the place of attorney general. I feel obamas presidency has not made it better for americans. It seems like ive been doing better since the Bush Administration that i am doing now. I have nieces and nephews and children that have graduated from college that cannot find a job. They are working at foot locker. The young peoples Unemployment Rate is like 20 . There are no jobs. They just talk about, you know that they want Illegal Immigrants to come in this country and take all the jobs. There are not enough jobs that for the people that live in this country. I just feel that obama has been a disappointment will stop host did you vote for him a disappointment. Host as you vote for him both times . Caller i voted for him the first time. I went out and registered hundred something people to vote. I just feel like he is i registered 600 something people to vote. I just feel like he is more into the politics than the American People and what our needs are. Host the tuesday home the second time . Caller yes. I was going to vote for romney because hes a business person but i was not really sure. But this time, i have to vote. Even if i have to vote for the book and vote for the republican, i hope that they come out with clear issues and what they are going to try to do for this country. I just hope they get a business person, but because the political mess is going to far. Host is immigration a big enough issue for you to caller i think immigration is the problem with the economy and this country. There are not in that jobs for the people that live in this country. They cannot have people come over here and the that they have jobs for them. And think that they have jobs for them. Host all right, we get your point. Grading california, independent, go ahead. Caller in europe, im a little im an electrician and i just retired. In europe, they did an experiment where they could kill a whole bunch of people with the grounding the way it is now. But i dont know if you know, but they are putting all of these Power Supplies everywhere and i got to do is connect this to your house all you have to do is connect with your house. Host how does this relate to what we are talking about . Caller all you need is people who do not have the american ice way as you will have faulty equipment, batteries burning a lot turning out. You will use a lot of equipment and you will have people not very educated. And maybe with the intent to sabotage. Host senator schumer democrat from new york, came to his defense of president obamas nomination. Heres what he had to say yesterday. [video clip] my friends across the aisle seem to be suggesting that the enforcement policies for the department of Homeland Security is tantamount to the announcement that we will not enforce our own immigration laws mother that is the third that is absurd. Congress, this body, only allocates enough money for dhs to deport 400,000 of them. 11 million Illegal Immigrants kind of money to deport 400,000. Obviously, you have to make choices here. Host senator Charles Schumer yesterday, day one of the hearing for the dreaded Lynch Loretta lynch to become attorney general. Unauthorized immigrants, the deportation of them needing to be prioritized. The nominee, she said she found it reasonable. Those are what are making headlines in the papers this morning. We will get your reaction. James, north dakota. Hi, james. Caller good morning. I havent gotten through in a while. Nice to see you guys here again. Host glad you got through. Go ahead. Caller i came across the river to get a better paying job, like thousands of men have done in the modernday grapes of wrath. The things that bothers me most, because a couple of earlier scholars have called about this callers have called about this, because there are tens of thousands of bluecollar workers that are working as roofers and waitresses and believe it or not, most of these people come from two places. Most of them are lawyers corporate executives. They are not citizens like smith, citizen shopkeepers going to congress. They really believe this. They believe that the only people that work with their hands are brown people. I have blue eyes and blond hair. I grew up in a middleclass home, but i roofed houses for years. I have waxed floors. I worked with African Americans italian boys, german voice. Im sick and tired of this. Weve got to stop the lily white progressives in power, like Mike Matthews and the scum like the morning joe show that says, these guys are not taking our jobs. Sure, if you sit on your seat and talk for a living. That will be a great job. They keep talking about global learning. Their policies led to the amnesty and the chain migration of ted kennedy. And now the numbers will swell by 2060 and it will be a 100 million more cars on the road. Host new jersey, democrat, go ahead. Caller how are you doing . Host good morning. Go ahead. Caller i agree with the president. Everybody says, oh, obama is doing this and obamas dream that. The lady that called from orange , she clearly doesnt know what shes doing if she is going to vote for obama and then switch to romney. Two different pictures. You must be part of that 47 . Everybody has to be accounted for, not just half of the people making the money. Everybody dont want to sit home and do nothing. People want jobs. If you get up and look for a job, you can find a job. It might not be the best job but there are jobs out there. Youve just got to find one. You cannot say that everybody is taking your job. Host more thoughts on the nominee, Loretta Lynch, on her first day of confirmation hearings on capitol hill calling the president s executive action on immigration reasonable. The phone lines are open, so keep dialing in. But some other news, the Financial Times has put together the next policy twist that this congress faces. They have put together a chart of what those different issues will be. The deadline is february 28. The issue is, department of Homeland Security funding is uncertain, despite a sixmonth extension. Another deadline is march 31, dr. s fees. Doctors working under medicare will receive a pay cut. Unless lawmakers find money for them. May 31, for anything for roads and bridges dry up as a key fund is replaces replenished. And on june 30, the exit bank will be shutdown of its charter is not reauthorized. The eximport bank will be shutdown if it is not the authorized. These are the fights that are happening on capitol hill as we continue in this 114th congress. Speaking of that today, the new majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell , sat down with a paper and said he is unyielding on iran sanctions, legislation to bolster sanctions against that country, and defined on the coke spending koch spending. And then in the New York Times this morning, the headline is John Boehners decision to invite the israeli Prime Minister. And then in the Washington Post this morning, democrats have left washington for their annual retreat and they will hear from president obama tonight and then Vice President joe biden on friday. According to the headline, they will be looking for ways to rebound at this retreat. And finally, the rampage of the Washington Times this morning has this headline. Hillary clinton, apparently was pushing for this country to go to war against libya. The Washington Times as tapes has tapes. Joint chiefs and a key lawmaker saw no need to go to war and how their own talks with gaddafi. Those are some of the front pages this morning for you. We will give you more as we go on, but first, back to your calls about day one of the confirmation hearings for Loretta Lynch to become the top enforcement officer in this country. Denise in kansas, independent color. Go ahead. Caller i watched the hearings yesterday and i thought mrs. Lynch conducted herself very professionally. She was very composed. She was very intelligent in her answers. I particularly like how she did not allow herself to be bossed in those hypothetical questions that were posed. I really commend mr. Grassley on how he conducted the hearing. It was very civil. I was very disappointed, however with ted cruz and mr. Sessions. And the fact that they continue to perpetuate this lie on the american working class and middle class about jobs being taken away from them by Illegal Immigrants. And that the president is acted illegally. The fact remains that if they continue to tell these life, the american working class people are going to let the employers off the hook tell this lie that the american working class people are going to let the employers off the hook, and in fact, a large number of persons to invite Illegal Immigrants here to take jobs. Im hoping that the american middle class and working class will begin to pay more attention to that side of the immigration issue and press their congressman to do something about a comprehensive immigration bill. Host you mentioned senator ted cruz, that you are disappointed in the way he was conducting himself in that hearing. Here is wrote called piece this morning. Here is role calls peace this morning. Thats what the texas senator said in a brief interview with cq will call as the daylong Judiciary Committee hearing went on nearly eight hours into the evening. Here is another reaction Judiciary Committee member john cornyn. Senator Patrick Leahy, top democrat on the Judiciary Committee. Robert in alaska, republican color, go ahead republican c aller, go ahead. Caller good morning. Host we are listening, robert. Go ahead, please. Caller oh, im sorry. Im an old field oilfield worker in alaska. So far, we have not seen a bunch of immigration taking over because we are a union. But ive been down in texas and in florida and california, oregon washington, and this is the problem right now. There is not enough work in this country for all of us. There is not. What is happening, these people coming over have been given Social Security, free housing, food. Why dont we just leave them over there, send them money over there, bill them hospitals schools, where they got plenty of land and need the work. Why dont we leave them over there . Is causing chaos and confusion. That is what is happening. Host what about the drive to come here to better their lives . Caller i understand that and i feel bad for them, i really do. But what they are coming over here and finding is not that will stop not that. A lot of these people are not getting decent jobs. They are still having to be on food stamps, housing assistance, free medical. And like, the obama deals on tv they come up and say, this medical is free. Nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it. Host ok, robert. Listen to what the chairman of the Judiciary Committee has to say, Chuck Grassley of iowa, talking about Loretta Lynchs duty as attorney general. [video clip] on november 20 last year, president obama said he would refer deportation of millions of individuals in the country and documented. Not only is this dangerous counter to our laws, but a dangerous abuse of his authority. If you are confirmed as the next attorney general, you will take an oath and raise your right hand and swear support the constitution of the United States and to bear truth and allegiance to the same. Your duty to the attorney general is not to defend the president and his policies. Your duty is your oath to defend the constitution. Host the chairman of the senate Judiciary Committee there republican from iowa, Chuck Grassley. He will be our guest in about 15 minutes. We will ask him abou
