Patience, all things are difficult before they become easy. Despite the intense efforts of negotiators from seven countries, and the european union, we are still in that difficult stage. We must use the remaining time wisely, and with a sense of urgency and purpose. In closing, let me affirm that the United States and its partners are prepared to take advantage of this historic opportunity to resolve our concerns regarding Irans Nuclear program. We hope the leaders in tehran will agree to the steps necessary to assure the world that this program will be exclusively peaceful, and thereby end irans economic and diplomatic isolation, and improve further the lives of their people. If that does not happen, the responsibility will be seen by all to rest with iran. We encourage iran to make the right choice. Meanwhile, we remain steadfast in our determination to take the steps necessary for americas security and for peace across the globe. We hope iran will make the right choice. We are ready to do so. We thank you very much. And now id be pleased for a short period to respond to some questions. Thank you. [ applause ] as you heard, secretary sherman is just off a plane, so shes entitled to a good break here but shes been gracious enough to take a few questions. And ill take one or two from the audience. But im going to take the privilege of asking one myself. The conference focuses on the iran discussions. But i continue to be struck in a very positive sense by the solidarity of the p5 plus 1. You touched on this in your remarks. How is it, despite all these intentions, other than the skilled american diplomats, that such a Diverse Group with so many differences has been able to hang together throughout these negotiations . With a Staggering Amount of hard work. We spend a lot of time with each other. We understand what matters to each other. What we all absolutely agree on, though, is iran should not have a nuclear weapon. And that we must put forward an arrangement that meets the needs that theyve identified, where we believe they are legitimate, in a way that makes sure that all the pathways to physical materials for Nuclear Weapons are shut down. So that in fact the issue of irans program in fact the issu real in a verifiable way. And quite frankly whether it is france or russia or britain or china, thats why i believe the u. N. Security council was to deal with this issue, because it was not in okay. Thank you. Im very happy to see you, im also a graduate, so im very happy to be here too. My question is considering something you said, the engagement to one issue will not lead to silence on another. I understand that youre talking about all the sanctions that are imposed on iran. Does this mean that the terrorism sanctions and the human rights sanction also stay on the books . Thank you. We have been very clear from the givening that human rights sanction us and terror sanctions are not related. So theres been discussions about nuclearrelated sanctions have been discussed. And indeed, if we can come to this arrangement they will be suspended and ultimately lifted and it will make a substantial difference for iran. Other questions . Thank you so much, wendy, i know the focus is on the Nuclear Issue and it has to be so, and perhaps isles not always the right time to talk about other dimensions, such as regional dimensions until were in a more confident phase in the nuclear tux. But would you engage a bit in explaining what positive repercussions for regional policies you can see host in your video, what could be done in syria, in iraq, against isis, if there first is a deal . I think thats a hypothetical thats not worthwhile to discuss right now. We as the president and secretary kerry have said kwil clearly, iran isnt very happy with isil, were not very happy with isil, we need to degrade and defeat isil, but we are not coordinating any fashion at this poirve point. We are all focused on this nuclear negotiation, it should be because as i said in my remarks, if iran were to acquire a nuclear weapon, it would have profound consequences on stability in the middle east, and so that is sort of the number one priority. Last question right here. Patience. Yeah, pashtience. You have to have a lot. Everybody anticipates and is following closely what youre doing and everyone hopes for success and others are more skeptical. What does a perfect agreement look like . And i sometimes worry about the perfect being the enemy of the good, if we dont arrive at agreement, and the jpo goes away a, what does that world look like . Obviously congress will pass sanctions, but what will iran do in the absence of these constraints . If negotiation goes awayas people debate the elements of a deal, as people debate, is this good, is this good enough . Is this better . We tend to forget what this is all a about. The stakes here are very high, now, that doesnt mean we do a bad deal or even a half bad deal, of course. We need an arrangement that meets our objective, that iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon, that all of the pathways to nuclear fissile material, all of the poifbts that you want must be there, its about getting an arrangement that works, that is verifiable, that is good and meets that objective. And were striving towards that objective because the alternatives are quite terrible. I want to express personal gratitude for your willingness to come here on behalf of all of those participating in this conference, for the insights that you have shared. It is important for everyone to understand, how you have laid it out, and i ask you all to join me once again. In thanking secretary sherman for joining us once again tonight. This thanksgiving week, cspan is featuring interviews from retiring members of congress. Watch on thursday at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. I have often said, the republicans do have a legitimate argument here by the way, and theyre not being allowed to offer amendments, theyre not being allowed to offer amendments because of filibuster bills, and theyre not allowed to filibuster, its one of those chicken and eggs thing. We need to get rid of the filibuster, but we need to guarantee to the minority in the senate, that the minority will be able to offer a germaine amendments, germaine amendments for debate. I wont even qualify to say probably, the most eloquent order in congress, henry hold me one time, i think i remember this correctly. He said im not wild about this impeachment. By there are 13 americans who have serving active prison sentences for perjury, how do you do that and turn a blind eye to the president. I always remember him saying that.

Next the center for Immigration Studies, about unaccompanied immigrant children. Later a program on minority stuf stinlts and higher education, followed by Cyber Security issues. Next a look at how one city in america is dealing with immigrant children, placed there by the federal government. The main speaker is republican mayor Judith Kennedy of na ma. She talks about efforts to provide undocumented children and education and health services. The centers for Immigration Studies hosted this hourlong event. Good morning, and my name is mark corcoran, we wanted to host an event that puts some context and some real life numbers and real life acts on to the fallout of what were seeing and have been seeing now u for a while in the border surge of Central Americans, especially coming across south texas. And what what we have seen really bears out the observation a that every state is now a border state and every town is now a border town. And so one of the border towns that we wanted to hear from was lynne, massachusetts, ways some 1,500 miles from the border with mexico, its outside boston. And it has been dealing, not just for the past few months, but really for the past couple of years with the consequences of this growing surge of Central AmericanIllegal Immigrants, many of them ostensibly, unaccompanied ostensibly minors. And we have the mayor of massachusetts, Judy Flanagan kennedy is the sixth which is an interesting long pedigree there, shes been mayor for about almost five years now. And even before that, her work kind of gave her an insight into some of these local effects. She was on the School Committee and practiced real estate law for a long time and a so has, really has an up close intimate familiarity with what local communities have having to deal with, because of this failure of the federal government to do its job. So mayor kennedy, jfk, mind you, is the initials, will be telling us, some of her thoughts, some of her experiences and then after that, Jessica Vaughn, whos one of our top analysts at the center for immigration study also give some National Numbers and some of the Public Safety issues were seeing on the border and then well open it up for questions. So mayor kennedy, its up to you. Thank you, mr. Kerkorian, i usually drop the flanagan, its kind of formal for casual speak issing here. As you know, lynne is a coastal city, about 10 miles north of boston. We have a population of about 90,000 people, making us the ninth largest city in massachusetts. But we have the fifth Largest School system. We have seen a great increase in our School System over the past couple of years. And in the fall of 2012, my School Superintendent came to me and said, i have been noticing a large number of unaccompanied minors, unaccompanied children coming in from guatemala, and theyre all coming, she thought it was a city, it turns out it was a province, theyre all coming from san marcos, so i dont understand how all of these people from san marcos are making their way up to lynne. So we look at the numbers, from september 10, through june 2010 from september 11, through june of 2012, we had 26 out of country admissions from guatemala into the School System. Now from september 12 to september 2013, the period at which the superintendent noticed this, we had 84 new admissions from out of country from guatemala, so we started to look into this a little bit. And a lot of these children, that were coming in to our city were coming through a blase called the Jubilee Center in san antonio, texas. So our first thought was to find out what is this Jubilee Center and whats going on here . As best we could determine, it appears to be a type of clearinghouse, that is used to resettle these people who are coming across the border. And they are not all children. One of the things that we did notice when we were processing some of these students coming in, was that they were adults. They were all claiming to be somewhere between, well, the vast majority of them were claiming to be between 14 and 17 years old. But there were people with graying temples, hair around the temples, there were people with more wrinkles than i have around their eyes and we were told through a directive from the department of justice that we were not to question or verify or attempt to verify these ages. A lot of the children gave a birth date of january 1. A lot of them could not sign their names, they had to sign their names with an x. And a lot of them were illiterate. Not only in english, but also in spanish. And spoke a tribal dialect, a mountain dialect, so that it really made it difficult to place these students in any kind of a classroom setting. So what we decided to do in that 2012 to 2013 school year, there were 56 of these unaccompanied minors that were placed in a night school. And they were fed, they were given a meal, at the night school, and during the day, they were allowed to go about their business, some of them close to work, many of them worked in landscaping in those warmer months. And that was working fine, until the lawyers stepped in, i consider myself a recovering lawyer and when i tell you Something Like this, youll understand why. And they said, you are not giving these children an education equal your fulltime daytime program. You have to have 990 hours of education, so you either have to expand your Night School Program to 990 hours, or you have to integrate them into your regular public high schools. Well, the superintendent chose to do the latter. But because we have these students who are illiterate, were not putting alleged 15 and 16yearolds in classrooms next to 6 or 7yearolds. So we decided to put them into the ninth grade, so that meant from september 2012, through june of 2013, we had 56 unaccompanied minors from guatemala placed in the ninth grade alone, we decided we need to find out from the federal government, what was going on, why were we getting all these new students and why were they all coming from the same province. So we with started to mete with senator scott brown from massachusetts. And unfortunately, he lost his election a couple of months after that that to Elizabeth Warren who became our senator and for a variety of reasons, we did not pursue this with senator warren. We kind of suffered in silence up in lynne and did the best we could with these students. Now from september of 2013 to june of 2014, this trend showed no signs of abating, ninth grade admissions for children from guatemala societotaled 101 from school year 2013, to 2014, thats almost double what we had gotten the year before. As you recall, that number was 56. At the same time, they were starting to be some National Exposure about this issue. So the superintendent and i decided we were no longer going to sit back and just take these students, but speak out and let the federal government know, that all of the places they were housing these unaccompanied children, you mean, places like ft. Sill and places like marietta that were getting marietta, california that were getting a lot of these students were not the only communities affected, that there were people as far north as little old lynne, massachusetts that were being affected by this. And i have to tell you an interesting story, and this made us sit up and take notice, and it showed us that these children really are illiterate in both languages. Because he couldnt read, he didnt realize he was presenting his own arrest warrant. So we called the local police, who in turn called i. C. E. Who in turn delaware kleined to detain this gentleman, we know hes enrolled in school, but we dont know what happened to him. So we have been struggling with the number of students that we have received. Just to give you an idea of whether the trend is continuing or not, if you believe to the press, sorry to those of you here. If you believe what the federal government tells us in the press, these numbers have curtailed significantly. We all know that the train broke down, we also know that during warmer weather, theres been a decline in 2 border crossings because who wants to go through the desert in july . But right now, prior to the opening of the 20142015 school year, we have ten new students enrolled, just between that number i gave you from june of 2014 and now, we have ten more ninth glarade students enrolled and one more tenth and one more eheavy vennth from we have the fifth Largest School department population. We have to hire aides for these students, we have to find classroom space for these students. We have to also spend more money on all of these students. Massachusetts has a School Spending fospen spending formula, for each school district, froms a dollar amount that has to be met. In this particular case n all cases actually, we have to have that baseline amount to spend per student. Thereafter, if the student is an english language learner, there is a premium put on that base requirement. And if the student comes in with special emotional needs, which many of these students do, there is yet another premium put on that base. Now unfortunately, i cannot separate out refugees from legal immigrants, from unaccompanied minors, but i can tell you that the trend for out of country admissions for the School System, in total from all countries, has gone from 54 in 2010 to 2011 school year, from 329 from 2011 to 2012, to 421 from 12 to 13, and we had from 2008 to 2013 to 2014. And as i said, we have had tachb in guatemala already. We have been trying to accommodate this, we have built a new middle school, however that school is not scheduled to open until september of 2016, and it is already deemed to be overcrowded before its doors even open. We have also seen a real uptick in our Public Health services that are required. Because all students have to be vaccinated before they come into our School System. So just by comparison, in let me see, july of 2013 well, lets take july of 2011. My Hea
