Not just vulgar but straight up racist terms. The worldwide reaction has been harsh. There may be nothing more consequential to our economy than what gets done to change americas immigration system. United states, nation of immigrants. President trump and republicans in congress are under the gun to come up with deal on immigration and Boarder Security as part of a spending bill deadline thats only days away. At issue are daca waivers. They came to the United States as kids. The waivers allow them to stay and work in this country and then theres the debate over how much the president promised the border wall with mexico. Why is he gets anything . Isnt i supposed to be paid for my mexico . Ding, ding, ding. Thats what i say. From an economic point of view are the big cuts from Legal Immigration that trump and the gop are pushing for including ending family provisions what trump refers to as chain migration. Its not comprehensive Immigration Reform. People in government seem to have trouble understanding when you talk about Immigration Reform, you might be talking about securing borders and sdilsdil skilled workers. The h1b visas that a lot of people go to Silicon Valley to do computer work on, thats not included. Its not full scale Immigration Reform. Its Immigration Reform of a sort. We look at the job openings all the time. Then the people who dont have jobs or high paying jobs and say well connect the two. You cannot connect them if that worker and the skills needed are not aligned. Who are the Daca Recipients . Around 800,000 eligible for daca. The average age, 24 years old. How do you get in the program . You have to have a High School Degree or get. It tends to be someone higher skilled, higher paying jobs than undocumented immigrants. They pay taxes. Most likely they came to the United States in the arms or many the hand offens of their p. This is the country they know. Theyre not allowed to have felony offense. You sa if you were picking immigrants, they would look like the pool of dreamers. This is economics. Never mind there are a lot of people who support the dreamers because they say its the right thing to do. A study found that repealing or rolling back daca, it could cost us nearly 280 billion in lost tax revenue over the next ten years. 280 billion. Bear in mind, these people arent necessarily going to leave the country. Theyre just going to go back in the dark and when they do, theyre not going to be paying taxes, contributing to social security. Theyre not going to be participating in the real committ economy and if they start getting paid under the table, that pushes wages down. This week President Trump arded one of those industries specifically. Applauding the great things hes done for americas farmers. They are a constituency. Rule americans that voted two to one in favor of donald trump. This is what he had to say to them in nashville. We have been working every day to deliver for americas farmers just as they work every single day to deliver for us. Oh, are you happy you voted for me. You are so lucky i gave you that privilege. The question is for fact sake, has President Trump really delivered for americas farmers as much as he says he has . Despite claiming to do all he can, President Trumps policies arent doing much to help them. Trump won 62 of rule voters because of a widely held belief that they are the america he promised to make great again. What has he done for them so far . Not much. For example, trump is happy to boast of the burdensome regulations his administration has rolled back for farmers but he revoked the farmer fair practice rules that protected farms against the worst abuses of agra business. Big meat business pay farms to manage poultry and livestock but the companies squeeze farmers on costs threatening their lively hood. The rules sought to level the Playing Field and help farmers stay in business. Now, no more. Livestock producers are losing market share in some Key Countries because trump is tearing up trade deals with the rest of the world. After trump pulled out of the transpa sirveg Partnership Japan cut tariffs on australian beef leaving americans in the lurch. Experts warn of labor shortages that could slash output on americas fruit and vegetables farms by as much as 60 . The new trump tax cuts dont do much for Small Farmers even though he said millions would benefit. 96 wont see what annual sale offense a homillion dollars or more will see. Only estimated 80 farms and Small Businesses out of thousands of estate were hit by the tax in 2017. Thats before the new law took effect. All in all americas farmers arent the real winners in trumps america but big agra business definitely is. Sound familiar . Fwl thats the take away. This isnt necessarily partisan. Its not about farmers versus everyone else. It does look like big business versus small business. We heard that specifically from republican senator chuck grassley. He said they are just pandering to big corporations. Not interested in family farmer. That family farmer voted for President Trump. He was there in those towns on the campaign trail saying im here for you. We always believe that americans dont really maybe respect farming enough. A lot of us think that stuff grows at the Grocery Store and we dont really understand the struggles that family farms have. Theyre real. Part of the problem is only 4 of farms produce twothirds of the countrys agricultural output. Farms have been consolidating into these massive things. The family farmer has real struggles. Thats the largest proportion of Big Companies putting out output since they began tracking this in the 1980s. Deregulation has made farmers happy. It gave the epa power to find land owners for accessing streams, rivers, water thats on their property. Thats now been rolled back. Thats one example of something thats got those farmers happy. Well stay on top of the many reforms that are needed in farming industry. Moving on, President Trump is no stranger to conflict of interest accusations but this week three things fueled more. His Trump Organization engaged in tense of millions of dollars in real estate transactions with guess who, anonymous shell companies. As that was coming out, the president issued an executive order opening up the pacific and Atlantic Coast to oil drilling but then he issued an exemption of the order for the state of florida. Guess what happens there. That is the site of his beach front property. Those are two things. The Labor Department issued a federal reprieve to a group of big banks convicted and fined for manipulatining banks. Maybe much more. Is that a coincidence or are these conflicts of interest . The white house saloves so ty there cant be a conflict of interest. Hes the president. In this case while these fines may have been put in place during the Obama Administration and even obama may have waived them and pushed them back. Because President Trump and his Family Business is so entang led and can directly affect tens of millions of dollars, these companies thats an issue for a lot of the people. Its one of those things where lots of properties are bought and sold by anonymous shell companies. Its every other accusations of conflict of interest against the president. We tend not to get it. When you combine the fact theres lack of credibility and no valid explanation, ones mind could wander into conflict of interest. Its the problem i have with my kids, when they lie so much but when something is wrong, i dont believe them. Theres a poll that the president likes to reference but he had twothirds of americans say the president s not an honest man. When america thinks that and you have this history of kind of fuzzy math. It leads to a problem. 40 of people think the economy is doing well. Most of those people credit barack obama with that. Credit aside, im going to say im glad the economy is doing well. The president s big tax cuts are reaping some big pay bonuses for workers. Thats great. There are a couple of caveats i want to point out. The president says trade deals with job killers and scrapping them will help make America Great again. Is he right . Pizza when your stomach is all, oh yeah but your brain says, yeeeah.

As the president continues to rail against the Free Trade Agreements reports are swirling about a possible break in trade relations with canada and mexico. Trump thinks it takes away u. S. Jobs and send them overseas. The president is not wrong but like most things thats only a portion of the story. When it comes to trade its not just a zero sum game. Take a look. One of president s trumps first acts is to scrap a partnership. A Free Trade Agreement making up 40 of the worlds economy. Now the president has his cross hairs aimed at the american Free Trade Agreement or nafta with canada and mexico. Every trade deal we have is d disasterous. Reporter the free trade deal aim to promote peace and prosperity in the world. It did that by opening up the country to trade and removing the barriers between them. Everybody grows more and makes more money. That was the start of trade. Its been growing ever since. Reporter this is how free trade is supposed to work. Lets say country a has a lot of one product the rest of the world wants, say corn. It can use its competitive advantage to export an excess of supply to country b, which doesnt produce enough on its own. Its a win win for both countries. If country a lacks somebody its Consumers Want that country b has an excess of, say bananas, it can import them from country b. In theory the system works when both countries lower barriers to trade. The benefits of free trade are lower prices, more product growth and more creation. Reporter the reality is more complicated in todays economy. Many manufactured products, fans can be made almost anywhere. Countries that can pay their workers less have a competitive advantage over those with higher labor costs. That, in part, explains why many of the worlds cheaper manufactured goods are made in asia and not in america. That has ramifications. Thes the cost of free trade is loss of jobs. Reporter President Trump has threatened to hit china, mexico and others by slapping tariffs on their imports. In general the president is serving notice to any country that has a trade deficit with the United States. Meaning, they export a lot more to the u. S. Than they import from it. When the president says deals are unfair, hes looking only at part of the picture. Hes looking at manufacturing mostly cars and steel, which is what he talks about most of the teem. If you look at the whole picture, which includes agriculture, services, thats 75 of our economy and all manufacturing, hes not right. Free trade, winners and losers. We were talking about farmers. Farmers love free trade. Nafta, they want to keep that in place. If youre a farmer, you want your butter and eggs and beef to two to canada. Those factory workers who lost their jobs, they are angry they want those jobs back. Its not the same. Heres the issue. When you have free trade, it generally, for both countries involved, it increases their gdp, corporate profitability but those factory workers do lose out. Weve never been able to scaqua that circle. If your gdp goes down and everybody lose out. The idea is does everybody lose out or does a certain sector of society lose out. If youre in that sector, this fiphilosophical argument doesn sit well with you because youre out of a job. This is where the government could step in and say this is about job retraining. Lets put you in the job of the future rather than send us into the past. We all talk about the past. This is an issue that exists within the white house. You have the Peter Navarro that were on truPresident Trumps campaign. This will be a war with who gets the president s ear last. As the resident canadian or k kenyan, we get a whole lot of electricity, we get water. I dont see the threat to nafta. I dont think it will get ripped off because it will hurt the countries involved but it would be an Economic Disaster for cana canada, United States and mexico to rip up that deal. The answer is most likely in the middle. Were talking about this whether were talking health care, immigration or trade. Take the base that we have and improve it. Coming up, Corporate America is celebrating the tax law by announcing big pay bonuses for their workers. Not all workers are celebrating. Health insurance for millions of children is days away from disappearing. Guess what, you have run out of excuses lawmakers. We want answers. We want this back. Well be right back. This is frank. Sup this is franks favorite record. This is franks dog. And this is franks record shop. Frank knowns northern soul, but how to set up a limited liability company. Whats that mean . Not so much. So he turned to his friends at legalzoom. Yup they hooked me up. We helped with his llc, contracts, and some other stuff thats part of running a business. So frank can focus on the beat. You hear that . This is franks record shop. And this is where life meets legal. Not in this house. cause thats no average family. Thats your family. Which is why you didnt grab just any cheese. You picked up kraft mozzarella with a touch of philadelphia for lasanyeah kraft. Family greatly. Welcome back. Please Pay Attention to this one. The Childrens HealthInsurance Program or chip is in serious trouble. It provides Health Coverage to lower income households that make too much money to qualify for medicaid but who need care. The program has gone 105 days without funding for congress. Lawmakers thought they secured enough funds to hold them over through march giving them much more time to come up with a long time funding plan. After crunching the numbers it seems some states could run outd of funds as early as january 19th. Do you know how big this flu problem is in this country . Theres a new report finding that a tenyear extension to chip, are you ready for this . Would save taxpayers 6 billion. Save, not cost. Why are lawmakers waiting . Why . I cant find a single lawmakers who will make the other side of the argument. Its just a political pawn used in ongoing negotiations about government funding thats the only thing in the constitution that congress has to do. Its a massive failing of congress. Were hearing that a deal is close. Weve been hearing this for a long time. Why is this a pawn . Its such a masmall thing. Your political pawn are sick, low income kids. This amount of money is nothing compared to the massive tax cut we saw. Walmart is the latest company to announce raises and bonuses as a result of the new republican tax plan. They are raising minimum wage to 11. It announced pay bonuses for long time employees. Not all good news for walmart. It made the announcement while underplaying another piece of it. The country will shut 63 sams clubs stores. Walmart is a laggard in pay. Target, t. J. Maxx has increased wages. Walmart operates in a number of state that will have 11 minimum wages. I want to put it in context for you. Its good for the walmart wor
