>> they'll be deported. >> the north-west immigration has reached a lawsuit. >> they don't have anyone at their side to represent them. >> some of them we may return them to that. >> mlb gave a-rod permission to use testosterone. >> fabien back on dry land. we begin in texas. with tens of thousands of undocumented children flooding into the u.s. politicians call for the president to visit the border and see the crisis in person, while travelling to texas on a gunned raising trim. teme

texas governor rick perry met him in dallas. >> there's nothing taking place that i'm not intimately aware of and briefed on. this is not theatre, this is a problem. i'm not interested in photo ops. problem. >> after meeting with governor perry the president said the only did the was that the governor wanted the president to pay for more border security without asking cobb yeses for the -- congress for the money. >> he was concerned some of the positioning of border patrol agents was too far from the border to be effective from deterring folks from coming in. >> the president asked congress for 3.7 million in emergency spending this week to deal with the surge, just as protests over the undocumented children got louder. the spending request started

another battle in congress with republicans and democrats. >> if we don't secure the border, nothing will change. if you look at the president's request, it's to deal with the problem. we have to do something about sealing the border, and ending the problem so that we can begin to move on with the bigger question of immigration reform. >> joining us from capitol hill is californian congress woman, a senior member of the homeland committee. a pleasure to have you with us. the president is in texas, a few hundred miles from the center of the crisis. border? >> if you went to texas me may have gone to look at what was happening. i am sure many people on the border have been updating him. i think if he had had a chance, he should have gone. >> what about what some of your democratic colleagues in the house say. have they criticised him for not

going to the border, especially if he's in texas fundraising. your colleague hopes the border crisis doesn't become the katrina moment. is that a fair question. many criticise george bush for not katrina. >> we have a humanitarian refugee issue at the border. if he'd been in the area, if i had been him i probably would have gone to take a look at what is going on. it's not like he can't see it, he hasn't been told about it. i think it looks a little bad for the president to go to a state and not take a look at the - you know, the issue that is rite in front -- right in front at the time. >> at a senate hearing, ron johnson questioned the amount of money it will cost for taking care of the minors, giving more aid to central american

countries. let's listen to some of that. >> i can't think of a more humane thing to do. maybe it sounds cruel, but then to deter parents from sending children to the united states, take the minors, identify where they came from. i have gone online. it costs $207 on a one way trip in terms of plane flight. put them into a hotel and feed them, return them to the country of origins. >> there's a bipartisan law signed by president bush that doesn't allow that. the president is saying we'll deport them, but we'll have to give them due process and it will cost $3.7 billion, is there no other way. >> there is a due process issue, and just as the republicans wanted the president to follow other lives lost with respect to the border, we have to take a look at the fact that we did sign a bill, and the president signed a bill.

not this president, but bush, to talk about having a realistic procedure with respect to minors. we are talking about children. that's what the issue is here. i have, over the years, on the committee that deals with this, the homeland security committee, for example, i dealt with a minor issue, some of the issues of how we deport and let people off in the middle of the night. what did the detention centers look like? why did we not have enough. we have tried to address many of these issues over the last year. the problem is the republicans, while we pass the bill in the homelands refused to bring them for a vote to the house floor. that is why the president is really left with his hands tied, without us being able to change those things. >> the other side of the equation is border security, which is what the republicans

have been focussed on and the president said how he secured the border. this is obviously proven that that is not the case. house majority leader john boehner said if we don't secure the border nothing will change. you worked on a bill to secure the border. we are not talking about 3.7 billion. it would be enough defense about a third of the border with mexico. problem? >> well, in fact, we have been building, and it's not just a fence. we have been building a barrier of a border. that looks different. it's expensive. it's about a million or $2 million to make some of these. we have been doing part of that. the other part of the process is unaccessible areas, and that may be where some of these are. especially adding to the texas wild lands. the fact that we are catching - that we are apprehending these

people tells you something. that's a security position that we have. you know, if they are acting how secure is the border. the fact that we are getting the kid and have them in detention means the process by which we set up is working. it's the ones that get through. that would be an unsecured border. the fact that we have got and continue to get children, more are sent, but we are apprehending them means that, in fact, we do have a secure border. physically. it may not be possible. environmental issues that are going on. think about the rivers. you can't put a fence in the middle of a river. prop owners have -- property owners have individual right. many are up in arm when you block the ability to use the it. >> the issues, and two issues you brought up there, the defense is pushing people into

what you refer to as wild lands. it's leading to increased debts. people are trying to cross in areas that are rougher that where they crossed before, and they are dying. the problem you raise is that if we are catching them as they cross, if they are from central america and canned be sent back, it costs a fortune to keep people here. what is the solution. where do we go? >> one of the biggest areas, we, the united states, and congress has not paid a lot of attention to central america. why are these people leaving? some is a civil right, civil wars that go on in this middle portion, the central minister portion. much of it is poverty or a lack of jobs or parent who see a lack of a feature. you see propaganda going on, they'll move anything. drugs, guns, papers, some people. whatever it is that will make

money for them, they use the same. one of the things we have to do is we have to invest more in the other countries so they have a viable economy. they have institutions they can trust. if we can invest and make the countries worth living in, these people will not send the kids up on a lie from the cartel people. more importantly, they will be staple. they'll keep the the children where they want to be. i never met people who said "i don't love my country", they may say there's no work for me in this country or there's too much gang violence, they are parents like anyway of us would move our kids. we would. the problem is how many countries have the issues and how much can the united states do. it's a change. >> it's a pleasure to have you with us. thank you. >> a part of the border crisis

that received attention was highlighted when innovation advocacy groups sued the federal government. currently it's not required. little kids can find themselves standing in a courtroom pitted against prosecutors, and representing themselves in front of immigration judges. joining us from los angeles is a senior staff attorney with the aclu's immigrants rite project. and the aclu foundation of southern cody calafiore. good of you -- california. good of you to join us. you are suing the federal government for failing to provide representation for children. some of the children are in themselves? >> absolutely. every day in immigration courts around the country judges address children. 8 years old. six years old and 10 years owl.

it's a travesty of justice. many of the kids get reputation from nolle prosequi profit groups. how big a problem is this. how many are not having legal representation. >> we don't have great numbers. at one point a recent study thought it was about half of children. it's probably gone up since there are so many children now. >> you are working on the lawsuit before the surge in immigrants happened? >> that's right. we won a court decision last year saying the government had a legal obligation for those going through deportation proceedings, and we wrote a letter to the government saying if you have

done this for that group of children. how about for children. they have increased funding. we fund prosecutors, only to fund government attorneys for a handful. there are prosecutors, but the attorneys. >> that's right. we don't know the number, but in half of the cases children go it alone against a trained prosecutor on the other side. that is not due process, and it's not fundamentally fair. >> again, the numbers involved here, the dollars involved, if lawyers are provided for all the immigrants. i understand your point about due process and fairness. at what point? how could you balance that? >> well, i think we have to ask ourselves as a nation whether we are willing to send children, many of whom are ref goes, and the united nations has done an

analysis in the unhcr and said 58% of these children in the study they had done had claims to refugee protection or other forms of relief. yes, it's no question that we have to spend money to do this. if we spend the money to pay for the prosecutors, can we spend the money to represent the children, can we support them to persecution or death, separate them from families without giving them a fair day in court. >> what do you think about perhaps to expedite court proceedings for unaccompanied children and families. they say they are planning and expanding local assistance. what impact do you think your proposals? >> well, we have concerns that

oftentimes speeding up means cutting cornerings. it doesn't have to mean that, but we are going to watch the situation. there's no problem running deportation cases at a faster rate if they are conducted in a fair way. studies have found that providing coup speeds up -- council speeds up cases. judges gi children ca time to find lawyers, and everything runs smoothly when you have a person that knows what they are downing, defending -- doing, defending someone in a courtroom. things have to be done in a fair way. the government has to do that. it's incumbent upon them to make sure every child goes through the preparation. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> tonight, a life saving new drug...

worldwide distain greeted youtube pictures of marines urinating on dead afghanistanies. allegations surfaced showing superior officers tried to be excess ofly harsh in the punishment. more so that procedures thought appropriate. the prosecutors said it compromised the case and violated the proper chain of command. david shuster sat with emmy award winning cheryl atkinson who covered the story as a tracker." >> a terrific story, shane how the action of general amos compromised the case. >> he's the head of the mar each core. he refused to it were over discovery in the case, the allegations are, that defense was entitled to and improperly interfered with it. the general said he got out of

it when he realiseded actions were inappropriate. he continued to intersent himself in the case, oorgd the marines to -- ordering the maroons to be crushed when the prosecuting authority determined that court martial was not appropriate. it's unlawful command. this. i gather he sought to replace an original set of prosecutors and brought in another set. >> the original prosecuting authorities testify that there has been an inappropriate conversation with the general, in which he was ordered to take actions and crush the marines, which the prosecuting authority told the germ he was not planning to do. the case was pulled. the prosecutors could not get the answer to the question of why the case was transferred. they say they were stone walled when they tried to get appropriate discovery that the defense was entitled to and it

compromised the cases. >> you spoke to a prosecutor. watch. >> the command on the said he wanted the marines crushed and if the lieutenant was not willing to take the cases to a felony general court martial, he'd remove him and replace him with another commander. it's hard to come up with a scenario that more clearly illustrates the problem of unlawful command influence. >> how is this played this the pentagon, and what is the fear of general amos, given what has come out. >> the commandant general amos acknowledged that he probably said inappropriate things to the prosecuting authority. he said the case was handled appropriately. in dispute from the prosecutors that took over the case who say, again, that there was improper

meddling on the part of the higher ups and they were stone walled. in my opinion cases were disposed of, you can see each one, how it was handled. according to the prosecutor that you hard from, two marines who pled guilty to charges he believes have been denied the due process and the justice they fought for and that's why he's speaking out now. >> there are other cases that have been rue gipped by the -- rue gipped by the commandant's zeal to punish those possibly. was it political, was he worried about the public image. what drove him to be so aggressive? >> another part of the unlawful command influence concerned speeches given to the jury pool, the officers and senior enlisted men in which he urged harsher punish the. serious felony court martials,

saying the marines weren't holding each other accountable and he acknowledged he was upped pressure rur from congress, in the wake of allegations of rape cases and it appears as though he was under a deal of political pressure and wanted it handled. it's not improper to say he wanted crimes prosecuted. according to the prosecutors, he was commenting on evidence, taking part in making dids that he's forbidden from copy, and that's where it occurred. >> essentially it taints or moistens the case, and the reaction from the pentagon, from your reporting. it looks like a lot of folks covered up what he was doing? >> according to the prosecuting authority, he had trouble from start to finish getting cooperation from the pentagon. in the end they have no comment. they do have a link to general amos, and the only comment he

made, he did speak in a radio interview and that's on the website where it is acknowledged. some bad decision, i think, is how he put it. in the end it turned out all right. it's unusual for an officer in the marine corp to file a complaint against the head of the marine corp, with the inspector general, and speak out on camera, which he didn't do lightly. the interview is very interesting. he's been stripped of local duties since september. but selected for program owes to lieutenant colonel. it's lying having a guy allowed to be a pilot, allowed to remain in the navy and be told me can't fly. timely. a lot of people not following the details saying why should i care of the the marines were doing something awful. why does this matter so much? >> first of all, i don't think

people know what became of the cause. wh you think they -- whether you think they committed a serious crime, the alleged disappointment from the germ, if you felt they were not as serious, you should be september that the general ordered them crushed. this tells the outcome of the case that people hadn't heard much about. the prosecutor explains in america, the system of justice, it doesn't matter what you are accuse of, you are entitled to a fair trial. a general can't come in and say this is how the case has to go. it's unlawful. >> cheryl atkin con, terrific reporting. thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> we like to believe justice is blind and courts will find the truth. sometimes justice is blinded to the facts, and innocent people suffer. na is what happened to michael who came home to find that his wife had been brutally murdered

in their bedroom to learn that he was the prime suspect. because of a system that preferred victory over the truth he was sentenced to life in prison while his wife's killer was free to kill again. we are joined by michael, the victim of the wrongful conviction in texas. he spent 25 years in prison before being exxon rated with the help. innocent project. he is the author of a book "getting life - 25 years from prison to peace." and joins us via skype. what a story. thank you for joining us. after your wife's murder, why did police and prosecutors focus on you, ignoring all sorts of evidence, ind clue the the -- including the testimony of the son. >> thank you for having me. to answer your question, i don't think we'll know. the main players - the person

closer to the answer is no longer with us, but it appears by their action or whatever was said, for whatever reason the sheriff in my case, he just surmised because of certain items at the scene, that i had done it. after that, nothing else seemed to matter. >> talking about nothing else, it wasn't just what your son said. there were neighbours statements about a van, a man near the house, a bandana with blood on it. why was that exculpatory attorneys? >> welling legally it shouldn't have been. case law states - supreme court case law states, and ethical rules require that everything exculpatory meaning things that point to your innocence or guilt are to be turned over. while part of this is a systematic problem, part personality, here it should

within rite, but people involved did not follow the law or obey the rules. >> you faced an incredibly long fight, 25 years to get out, and years for the innocent problem to win permission to do the dment na testing that -- d.n.a. testing that eventually exonerated you. how did you get the innocent project pay attention to you. >> i was fortunate. it was a hand to god things. an attorney at trial happened to be a friend long before the innocence project came about, before my wife was kill. the two guys were friendful after my a -- friends. after my appeals ran their course my attorney contacted the friend and said "barry, do you think you can help out. i feel horrible, maybe you guys can any fresh eye and a new perspective", that's what happened. they were friends, but i didn't get special treatment. i had to work through the stack

of applications, people pleading for help. stack. >> as discussed before, they get thousands of calls every year. it's a big stack they have. you wrote that the worst fact about my being convicted of chris's murder was not the long inches, it was the -- long sentence, it was the fact that the real killer was fro to take a life. a nobodile sentiment. you -- nobel sentiment. you must harbour anger to the police, judge, jury, prosecutor - after losing 25 years of your life. >> yes, but deborah baker was killed 17-18 months after my wife was. i had to learn to let go of the animosity and the hate and all the vengeance that i planned. i spent years, i hate to say, but it is the truth, years planning the murders of the people i felt were responsible

for my incarceration. and only after my epitome , did i realise that i had to release all that animosity. and as a lawyer friend of mine said, holding that hate in your heart is like drinking poison and hoping the other guy dies from it. when i let go of that, when i made the effort, the physical sensation was like losing 20-30 unwanted pounds, and i was lighter and impressed every day after that. >> it's incredible. i know barry shak, who you mentioned and is the head of the innocence project says there's no epidemic of prosecutorial misconduct, but the man that prosecuted you, ken anderson had

a successful career, he was a judge, he was convicted of a misdemeanour and felon for the conduct in your case, of evidence not turned over. he served five days in gaol. do you think that's fair? what kind of message does that send? >> believe it or not in the legal community it's a huge message. if you or i go to gaol, that's one thing. if somebody from a bad neighbourhood with a bad life and a rough situation goes to gaol for six months, a year, you may get the attention, you may not. but, when somebody in the judge's position, who was my prosecutor, someone of his social economic status, his position in the community - all eyes are op him all the time. you send him -- on him all the time. you send him for a few days in gaol, it affect him in ways that

may not affect you or me or anyone else. when people ask the question i point to the mug shot. i don't think i have seen a more broken man. it impacted him. >> i know you re-established a great relationship with your son, who you were estranged from in prison. i know you have remarried and gone on with your life and have an incredible attitude, it's great to have you with us. the book is "getting life", >> on the stream, >> what's the real impact of the group calling itself islamic state? does it have the power and reach to effect global oil prices and your security. join us on the stream >> the stream on al jazeera america >> now inroducing, the new al jazeea america mobile news app. get our exclusive in depth, reporting when you want it. a global perspective wherever you are.

do you have to be a jerk to succeed at work. researchers found nice guys finish last, at least in the short run. the surprising results raised questions about behaviour in the work space. seth led the study and joins us. he is an assistant professor of organisation ace. your research found people that

were not nice tended to have success. we are talking about people that are referred to as the dark triad. can you explain it? >> unsurprisingly it consists of three traits. nazi six is people that are well-known, want to be the center of attention. they want status control and elevate themselves by making others feel small. the second is machiavellianism, which is a map itch u lative personality, and the last is sye cop athy, it it's characterised empathy. >> let's start with the manipulators. what are the characteristics, why do they succeed. >> one way that a manipulator succeeds, they love getting one over on people, they enjoy, and

don't care once people figure it out. they like it when people think they are bad. they have that going for them. they put themselves first. all threes of the characteristics put themselves first. the man imulator -- manipulator is willing to use a wide raping of tactics to do it -- wide range of tactics. an a lot of people use flattery. these will use anything, making threats, forming political alliances, and will try to get their bosses boss to work on the boss. things hike that. >> that can work out for them, at least at first. >> it can. they have to be smart about it. you can't try to mann im you late people. if you do it in a way na is obvious, it doesn't work, and

you'll wind outcast. if you are smart and do it well in a way not perceived. it can help you get ahead. you are advancing the agenda, getting your goals accomplished. >> you talked about the bad things that narcissists bring to the table, but at the same time narcism can help people succeed, because they want so much to succeed they manage to operate energy. >> yes, they are enthusiastic about their own ideas and project. anything that they care about directly. they can show enthusiasm for. it's part of how they can make a good first impression. how in a one-off sale they may do a great job. >> the third is an antisocial parliamentary. you hear na and think how can

that work for someone at all? >> one of the key things about the anti-social personality. often called psychopaths. they are - their key feature is they don't feel guilt, shame. they are impulsive leaving them to take risks, associated with stuff they want. they take a lot of risks. sometimes it pays off. if you think with pa psychopath. they take a risk. it pays off. they start to lock like they have a -- look lie they have a reputation for getting things done, accomplishing big risky things. risk is risk. they are probably going to run into problems. >> you say these are not full-blown psychopaths, they operate at a lower level that is not extreme. you say there are ways of spotting the bad apples.

mostly you want to watch the way they interact with other people, not directly with you. someone who is mapp ip u lative will try to manipulate the way you persee them. watching the way they work with other. these are people that are nice to you, but rude to the waiter. they are respectful to superviso, and awful to their peers. subordinate. >> you can't fool all the people all the time. and all the folks at some point that they show true colours and don't always succeed in the long run. >> most people with high elevation, one or more of the dark triadd traits will alienate people and will develop a reputation as being hostile, rude, any number of interpersonally negative things.

the poison that coined the term, calls these things socially noxious traits. >> hopefully karma will catch up to them over time. thanks. >> thank you. as casual observers of baseball know, alex rodriguez is not playing. he was inspected by major league baseball for improperly using performance enhancing drugs. doctors his 2006 mvp season the lowing gave him permission to use banned substances. according to our next guest the arrangements did not stop there. during the 2008 season rodriguez was granted permission to take medication designed to increase testosterone levels. we sit with the managing editor of the miami "new times", and an investigative reporter for "news day."

book. great to have you both here. tim, this is a revelation that rodriguez had prime ministers. is that the -- permission. reveal. >> it was a surprising fact. we dove into the book with a great set of records from tony bosch's cryogenesis clinic. we had a transcript from amex's ash -- alex's arbitration hear, and one of the amazing things it showed was that, you know, under baseball's policy if you take a medication that is banned but you believe you have a medical reason to use it you apply to a doctor appointed by the league and union, explain the case and he'll decide if you can use the medication. in alex's case he asked for permission to use testosterone which one baseball official called the mother of all anabolic steroids.

the doctor granted the prime ministers. for the course -- permission. for the course of 2006 alex had permission to use the tess to ter open. in 2007 he won the mvp and signed a contact with the yankees for $275 mullion. given that major league baseball approved this, why the efforts to keep it under wraps? >> there's a confidentiality agreement between the youpion and league where these -- union and league where it was kept confidential. it didn't come out until alex's battle against the league. an interesting aspect, it'ses to ter own exemptions are rare. a young man like alex, 31 - there's few reasons why he would need testosterone, his levels boosted, unless he used pds in his career before that date.

we know that's the case with a-rod because he tested positive in 2003 for steroid. so for that reason, it's almost never happening in sport. >> what is major league baseball saying about this, what is alex saying about this. >> major league baseball is stopping by the process, saying it's a rigorous process and they check is to make sure. major league baseball says it tues. >> what is that. >> therapeutic use exemption. a-rod wants to move on and play in 2014. snow is it iing op -- >> is it egg on the face for major league baseball. he is banned, suspended because of performance enhappensing drus, and now we find out they said he could use it for a year. >> it's clear from the arbitration transcript that they were not thrilled about the

exemption, or when he was given permission to use cloe med, a female fertility drug that can boost testosterone. it was approved after a tug of war between the union and the league. they both agreed. it's not unusual in other sports to have this. what is unusual is to give exemption for it'ses to ter open. and they'll review this. >> how did alex get caught up in more and more of these drugs. what was going reason with him at the time. how did it come to pass? >> one thing we wanted do was put the scandal into context. alex came to the heing in the heart of the steroid era. the league stock permissive use, a large number of players were using, there was no testing, in 2003 he was one

of 104 players who failed. that kick started test. and now he's a central figure in a topping scandal, ending up with 15 players suspended. >> sounds like alex didn't change as much as major league baseball did, and alex bass there from the be -- was there from the beginning, and as the aggressive. >> that's true. >> he came when it was permissive. it was his rookie year, the attitude towardster outside. one thing that we -- towards steroids. one thing we learnt was we learnt the details of anthony bosch's testimony. >> explain who he is. >> the chof of biogenesis, the steroid clinic that provided to alex and other players, more than a dozen other.

anthony bosch sided with major league baseball after they pursued him aggressively. he testified against alex rodriguez. we learnt the details of the testimony. it shows how brazen they were, and sloppy as well. bosch would visit am-alex in his new york city apartments and miami beach mansion. at one point they met in a men's room of a nightclub. the fountain blue hotel nightclub in miami beach and bosch drew a-rod's blood and put the vial in the breast pocket. instead of taking it to the lab or home. he went to the dance floor, danced, lost the vial, frantically looked for it and found it. it's incredible that these are the guys that caused so much trouble for major league

baseball, and blew up the game. >> and the recklessness, it must have been important to alex rodriguez if he's having blood drawn in the bathroom of a nightclub or dance club. why is he around people that reckless. >> it was effective. tony bosch had a doping regiment. he instituted how the regiment worked. and he never failed a blood deft, a-rod. it's the first case in history where all the players were suspended without a positive test. bass ball brought in their department of investigations. which almost conducted a police-like investigation, and was alt prove the charters, even though they evaded the test. >> you guys are more familiar with the statistics while juiced up. he doesn't have the drugs, the

performance enhancing drugs. how does he do it? >> when he comes back, he'll turn 40. his body appears to have been destroyed by his steroid use and ageing. it's going to be rough in the bronx, i think, given that he took on the league and took on other players when he sued the players union. it will be a rough season. if we learnt anything about him, he's determined and will fight back i think he'll be back and more drama next year. >> it's a terrific book called "blood sport", thank you both for your time. >> al jazeera america presents >> i want to prove them wrong. i want to make 'em regret rejecting me. >> 15 stories one incredible journey edge of eighteen premiers september 7th only on al jazeera america

joom today's data dive hits a home run. babe ruth was known as the sultan of swat for his home-run hitting. he started his baseball career as a pitcher for the boston red sox at the age of 19. he was a star, hemming the red -- helping the red sox win three series before he was sold to fund a play. it ran for six months. new york because ball fans made off better than new york theatre fans and better than red sox fans who suffered through the curse of the bam beano with the team not ripping a world -- oning a world series for the rest of the 20th century. the first stadium opened in the 1920s, dubbed the house that

ruth builtment it led him to the first of four world series win. he had a long list of the records. most walks, extra base hits, total bases, runs scored and slugging percentage. his mark at 714 home runs stood until hank erin broke it. he has been portrayed in tms and tv shows. sometimes he played himself. more than a million teams played in a league bearing his name. and we have all eaten the baby ruth candy bars. signed let's and rookie cards, the first ball he hit, and earliest contract in existence - it shows ruth getting paid $5,000 in 1918. that's only about $79,000 in today's money. the irony is that the contract
