presumptive republican nominee slammed the move to the latino vote he blasted president obama. romney bashed the president and even though asked repeatedly, four times in fact, he refused to say if he would repeal the order if evicted in november. >> would you repeal this order if you became president? >> well, i'd sit back and look at the issue. >> what would you do about it? >> as you know, he was president for the last three and a half years and did nothing on immigration. >> would you repeal this? >> it would be overtaken by

events, a long-term solution with a legislation that creates law that pertains to individuals such that they know what the setting will, not just for the term of the president but on a permanent basis. >> would you leave this in place while you worked out a long-term solution or nurepeal it? >> we'll look at it. i'd come into office, we need to get it done 0 a long-term basis and not a stop gap measure. >> romney didn't offer specifics what long-term decision he has in mind. think of the primary season where romney wasn't hedges on specifics and took a hard line on immigration issues. take a look. >> if i were elected and congress were to pass the dream act would i veto it, the answer is yes. i think we have to follow the law and insist that those who come here illegally ultimately, return home, apply, get in line with everybody else. >> return home, get in the back

of the line with everybody else that wants to come here. >> get in the same line, at the back of the line. >> immigration can be a big issue in the election. president obama had a 34-point lead among latino. some of romney's surrogates believe he'll need around 40% to have a shot at winning. both candidates are scheduled to speak at the annual meeting of a span, organization, the national latino appointed officials. president obama is accusing romney of playing politics saying the timing speaks for itself. we'll let you decide for yourself and keeping him honest, romney's refusal to say if he's overturn the policy is raising eyebrows for the same reason. the timing bep asked the romney team to come on to discuss it, they declined. joining me, former white house press secretary for president george w. bush, ari fleischer and maria, democratic strategist and former hillary clintillary

campaign what about the decision to repeal this? isn't that about politics? >> yes. both positions have a lot of politics in them. they both have a good dose of substance in them, too. and as anybody has followed the immigration debate going back to the years of ronald reagan, this issue is full of extraordinarily complicated substance and politics. it's also full of deep sealeded emotisealeded -- sealeded emotion on both sides. president bush tried to get immigration reform enacted. a lot of people love this country and want to come to this country. i'm the son of an immigrant. the same token, we pay a lot of homage to this law. >> many rub -- republicans are

reacted carefully. is there a chance the president will be able to draw the contrast he might have been hoping to? >> no. no chance of that, anderson. he's already drawn the contrast, which is why you see the majority of latino voters, even before this announcement, are supporting president obama on this. and, look, this is the problem with mitt romney. kniss is the box he painted himself into, because of what you just ran. what he has said during the primaries in order to shore up his conservative base, he would veto the dream act. his long-term solution if we listen to his words during the primary, for all undocumented immigrants to self-deport. his words. he said that the draconian arizona sp-1070 law should are a model for the nation but also understand, you mentioned this as well, he can't get to the white house with at least 40% of the hispanic vote and there is no chance that he's going to be able to get anywhere near that

if he doesn't soften his stance on immigration. that's going to be difficult for him, because then his conservative base will be all up in arms. >> ari, latino voters vote or more than immigration issues, but do you see problem with romney's outreach to latino voters? >> i think republicans have a problem with hispanic voters just as democrats have a problem with white voters. democrats have a problem with senior citizens. if there were no gaps in politics every race woend up tied. both parties have issues with different constituencies. if president obama doesn't get more than 60% of hispanic vote, he can't win. he's trying to rev up his numbers on a very political basis and, of course, what the president did is very -- it's not the dream act. if the dream act is a full act, this is just an act. it barely touches all the broad ple measures the dream act gets into. children, that's all he really is doing in this change that

he's making. and there's also a lot of basis for whether or not the administration even has the legality to be able to do this. the bush administration looked into doing it and did not have authority from the legal executive branch to do it. >> joining us on the phone with breaking news about marco rubio. told he was working on an alternative to the dream act that would be appealing to republicans, we're now hearing he's backed away from that. >> right. look, i think one of the reasons that the white house and the administration did what it did is because marco rubio had not proposed a piece of legislation that everyone kind of thought was forthcoming. the fact he hadn't proposed it aloud the white house, sort of a big hole there, allowed the white house to drive a mack truck right through it, and to do what the president did. i think whatever rubio had proposed if he decided to go

ahead, would have become a real litmus test within the republican party. if he doesn't propose anything, it allows him to say, you know what? the president is wrong on the process. what he's doing might well be overstepping his constitutional bounds, and allows them to kind of remain vague on the substance of what the president has proposed, until after the election. if rubio were to propose a specific piece of legislation, would you be dividing conservatives in the republican party on one side, and people like marco rubio who were a little more liberal or immigration issues on the other side. so i think they decided to take a pass. >> i want to get a reading from ari. how do you read this? >> i spent a lot of time talking to rubio's staff, actually. it's a little different than what gloryia said. getting bipartisan action together on capitol hill, that

the president in taking executive action and just doing a narrow slice of it poison theed well, as senator rubio himself used those exact words, but he's been up front about it today saying this damages the chances of congress getting anything done. that's arguable. the administration has its point of view. i still think they have a legal constitutional problem, that's a separate issue but there's more to it than gloria indicated. >> maria? >> i think marco rubio realized he didn't have the support he needed within his own republican party. i mean, let's remember that speaker boehner, when he first heard about marco rubio's idea and it was just an idea, he nerve put anything on paper, he said clearly it would be very difficult to get anything like that proposal through congress right now. but i also just want to say, republicans will obviously criticize the president to say that this was strictly political. why didn't he do anything before now? the fact is, that he has tried to do something before now. he's always talked about trying

to fix the immigration system. let's remember that in 2010, he pushed very hard to try to pass the dream act. the majority of democrats supported him and voted for it. he was only able to get three republicans to vote for it. right now, there are 11 republican senators in congress who just a few short years ago supported comprehensive immigration reform. not one stepped forward to say i support it now. that's the reality of it and why they're in trouble. >> jessica yellin on the phone. you just got off the phone with a rubio aide. >> hi, anderson. yes, i have. the aide in rubio's office says the reason the senator has told the legislation, never really introduced it, but they've been working behind the scenes to try to craft the kind of legislation it would have introduced and say it's not going to happen now. within time. they thought there was momentum, consider the approach ahead of

summer vacation. kids going back to school in the fall and facing deportation before school this fall and they thought there was a sense of urgency to pass this before school began. from rubio's perspective. >> now the president produced the new executive move that there's no longer that sense of urgency and that -- they're not going to reach consensus on anything. there's a hardening and nothing will be passed before the election. that's rubio's position. the white house has a different perspective and likely say there is not likely to be a consensus on this measure anyway. but that's what's coming from rubio land. >> this underscores how difficult this is. when president bush tried to do it and essentially tried to build a center shts the center couldn't hold because of opposition from conservative

republicans. also from a lot of the afl-cio democrats who don't want an injection of labor come into this country. they view it as competition to keep wages down. there really is -- this is one of the most complicated issues in government. president obama, though, did run on a promise that in this first year he would introduce a comprehensive fundamental to deal with immigration reform and never followed up on it. what we're dealing with now, a narrow slice. nobody's talking full immigration reform anymore. >> remember, when he came into office, he had to deal with, frankly, trying to rescue this economy from a second grade depression, and by the way, already legislation calmed the mccain-kennedy bill the president was trying to push. i go back to 11 senators who supported -- one of best things he ever did. the things i agreed with him on, but no other republicans, because president obama was president, and their focus was to make sure he was a one-term president, not to solve our

great problems like immigration they turned their back on the american people pand on this president. >> it's politicized. you can't blame one party. >> the afl-cio came around supporting comprehensive immigration reform. the republicans never came around. >> only built in that the afl -- >> but they came around. the republicans never came around and will never do comprehensive immigration reform and that's why -- >> we're going to leave it there. maria cardona, appreciate it, ari fleischer and glor allred thanks for calling in. let us know what you think. tweet about it now. a new chapter in the child sex abuse trial of jerry sandusky, the prosecution rested its case. we thought it would happen friday, it happened today. making the job a lot more difficult. surprising and shocking video next on "360."

crime and punishment tonight. prosecutors in the jerry sandusky trial rested their case today. that does not mean they're done bringing evidence against the former penn state football coach. nbc revealing today a member of

the prosecution team recently reached out to the network asking its lairs to reauthenticate the full interview from bob costas. that interview includes potentially damaging clips like this one that never made it to air. watch. >> it's entirely possible you could have helped young boy a in some way that was not objectionable while horribly taking advantage of young boy b, c, d and e. isn't that possible? >> well, you might think that, i don't know. and in terms of my relationship with so many, many young people, um, i would -- i would guess that there were many young people who would come forward, many more young people, who would come forward and say that my methods and what i had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. and i doesn't go around seeking out every young person for

sexual needs that i've helped. there are many that i didn't have -- i hardly had any contact with who i have helped in many, many ways. >> this could complicate the job for sandusky's attorneys who call their first witness today. the judge telling jurors he expects the defense to finish presenting their case on wednesday. jason carroll was in court today. i spoke to him about today's testimony. >> so, jason, this is the first time we've heard from one of the accuser's moms in court. she said her son never spoke to her of the alleged abuse. if that's true, it falls in step with what the other accusers have testified. right? >> it certainly does, anderson. what we've seen throughout this trial so far is this pattern of accusers saying they did not want to talk about these allegations, not to their friends, not to their family. the mother of accuser number nine, when she took the stand, you got the overwhelming sense over the guilt that she felt over what happened to her son.

she talked about how her son repeatedly said he did not want to go over jerry sandusky's house. how she basically forced him to go over there because of jerry sandusky's upstanding reputation in the community. she even said to this day, she still has not spoken to her son about the allegations. she talked about them on the stand. saying "i just didn't really want to hear. i just knew it would be tough for him to tell me. and" -- she was in tears when she described this. and it was definitely one of the most emotional parts of the testimony today. >> the defense began presenting their case. they put a couple character witnesses on the stand. were they able to call into question any of the allegations of abuse? >> not today. perhaps we'll see some of that tomorrow. basically, there was several character witnesses who were called. one is a former second mile participant. second mile of course is is the organization that jerry sandusky founded to help young boys. also, two former penn state football coaches who talked very much about this culture of showering with boys.

as you know, jerry sandusky has admitted to showering with young boys on several occasions. two of these former coaches talked about this idea of coaches showering in locker rooms. they said sometimes when they were there, young boys were there, they did not think it was anything out of the normal. one of the former coaches when asked about jerry sandusky's character said "i'll wait for the full story. i think he's a great guy." this, coming from booker brooks. again, a former assistant coach at penn state. just a final note about mr. brooks. we told by mr. brooks, after testifying that he was just chose ton testify in jerry sandusky's defense just this past ob monday. that just gives you a sense of how quickly the defense is still putting together its case. >> jason carroll, appreciate it. so what can we expect once the defense team lays out their case? let's bring in former l.a. deputy district attorney marcia clark. she's the author of the book "guilt by degrees." also with us, criminal dense attorney mark geragos.

and rush university medical center and child psychiatry to the american medical association. mark, so these two former penn state coaches say it wasn't at all uncommon to see a coach showering with young boys. that many of the coaches did that. adult males did the same thing. this isn't really a legal question, but i've been on teams in college. i've never heard anyone on the planet do that before. does that really sound like a good defense to you? >> well, actually, i can make some jokes, but i won't. the thing i like about it. remember who they're speaking to. their audience is not me in los angeles or you in new york. their audience are 12 jurors. six or seven of which have penn state connections. strong penn state connections. they start parading witnesses, especially character witnesses, who have a penn state

connection to say this is what goes on. it's not something out of the ordinary. and i'm going to tell you something. before people say this is a complete slam dunk for the prosecution, understand, from the defense standpoint, all they're looking for is one or two jurors who have a reasonable doubt. you start to get character witnesses on there and, frankly, contrary to what the report what character evidence can be very persuasive. because you get a jury instruction that says the character evidence alone can provide reasonable doubt. so you start to get people who are part of the penn state community. the jurors are part of that penn state community. and you may start to see the building blocks to reasonable doubt. >> interesting. that's why we have a defense attorney on the panel marcia, do you agree? >> of course not. i've heard other people say they were criticizing the prosecution for leaving these witnesses on. the witnesses who are associated with penn state. because they feel they'll be sympathetic to znd. sandusky.

they'll actually want to cover their own communal behinds by acquitting him. i don't think that's the case. i think they're going to show we take care of our own business here. we are not going to be swayed by this. we are not going to be -- you cannot lean on our loyalty to penn state. i think that if this is true that coaches at penn state routinely shower with young boy, penn state is about to see a huge drop in enrollment. be that as it may, i don't think these jurors are going to be impressed by this defense. >> marcia -- marcia, you know, one of the things that i think, there is this residual feeling at least i get from my 30,000 foot view, that there's a lot of people in that penn state community who feel a lot of resentment about outsiders coming in there, painting them with a broad brush, basically killing joe paterno. and i'm not so sure they're not the defense isn't plugging into that.

>> interesting. >> i take the opposite view. >> i want to bring in dr. kraus on this. the defense is expected to call in an expert witness to testify sandusky may have histrionic personality disorder. has this been linked to sexual abuse or pedophilia? >> no that i'm aware of. histrionic personality has certain character structures to it. over emotionality. some issues with sexuality. there is no connection that i'm aware of in regards to that diagnosis and sociopathic behavior, pedophilia, anything related to that. >> you also obviously have not examined sandusky personally, but, does it make sense to you if he had this thing, that he would be able to maintain this job have a long successful coaching career, be married to the same woman for decades? does it fit his profile? >> sure. with any type of moderate to severe character pathology, you won't see it just apply to one issue in your life. you'll see it pervasive over everything. you wouldn't expect if somebody has problematic relationships, superficial sorts of relationships, that in one area

of their life they can handle it perfectly but in some other areas it's completely path logic. patho logic. that wouldn't be consistent with, say, for example, histrionic pathology behavior. >> how damaging is this nbc transcript? the transcript with bob costas. i'm just looking at the transcript. sandusky says at the end of his long rambling answer, he say and i didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that i've helped. there are many that i didn't have -- and then he pauses. i hardly had any contact with that i helped in many, many ways. did he do himself any favors by giving this interview? >> no, not at all. that's precisely why if you're the defense lawyer the last thing you want to do is put him on. we talked about last friday, however it would not surprise me if he does take the stand in this case, because he's the one who ultimately makes that decision, no matter what his lawyer tells him. you saw in the jury selection

where he was keeping somebody on that joe wanted to excuse and he said no, i think he can be fair. and to the defense's credit, i don't think they're using this disorder to say that's what caused pedophilia or this some kind of confess and avoid. what they're doing is trying to explain what is at least seemingly a potentially damaging piece of evidence which are these letters, and they're trying to say, look, i know these letters look bad, but you don't understand what's really going on here is he has this disorder which lets him be flamboyant or exaggerated or have this kind of bizarre idea of expressing himself. they're not saying for a second, at least -- >> right. >> -- unless they get some of that other stuff on that yeah, i did it, but this is what this isn't the twinkie evidence. >> marcia, if they add in this interview, do you think that

that's -- continues to be very damaging? maybe i'm interpreting it harshly. >> no, i have to say, anderson, when you played it now, it sounds implicitly like he's saying i don't run after every child for sexual favor, just some of them. so, you know, therefore i'm not a pedophile -- >> why that got edited out of the original interview i don't know. seems to be pretty blockbuster piece of tape. we're out of time. appreciate you being on. thank you. really interesting discussion. more breaking news toercht. roger clemens, a big win for baseball may have just scored his biggest victory in the courtroom. jurors finding him not gl on all six counts lying about steroids to congress. what does today's verdict really say about the case? we'll take a closer look.

breaking news now in the federal perjury trial of

baseball great roger clemens. the seven-time cy young award winner celebrating his freedom tonight after jurors found him not guilty in the steroids investigation. after an eight-week trial, a tearful clemens. >> really, all you media guys that know me and followed my career -- >> way to go, rocket. >> whew. i put a lot of hard work into that career. and -- so, again, i appreciate my teammates that came in and all the e-mails and phone calls. >> roger clemens was never charged with taking performance enhancement drugs, but

allegations he used banned substances were front and center throughout the trial thanks to the statements he made to congress back in 2008. >> can i look at my two children with a straight face and tell them a you, roger clemens, have always played the game with honesty and integrity? >> yes, sir. >> there would be no doubt that that's true? >> without a question. i took no short cuts. >> today's verdict ends the second trial for clemens. and is a big blow, obviously, for federal prosecutors. just over a year ago, a judge declared a mistrial after they showed inadmissible evidence in court. we're joined by senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. so how did he -- what happened? >> first of all, look at the record of steroids prosecutions. they have been mostly, not entirely, but mostly a failure. barry bonds. acquitted on all but one chang and he was sentenced to 30 days of home detention.

essentially less than a slap on the wrist. >> lance armstrong -- >> nothing at all. clemens, total acquittal. i think jurors are not sure this belongs in federal court. you know, whether this kind of policing of professional sports is something for a federal criminal case. >> it also was about lying to congress, but is lying to congress always a crime? >> not necessarily. one of the things i thought rusty harden, the attorney, did artfully, he sort of put congress on trial saying, look, they weren't intending to do any legislation about this nep just wanted to show, and he didn't really say that clemens was entitled to lie to him but it's part of the theme that, why are they making such a big deal out of this? >> and a crime if they are actually going to do legislation? >> right, if it's what they call a material matter, which is broadly defined.

what harden did, he wasn't talking about the law specifically. he was basically saying congress was just putting on a show. they just wanted clemens to come up there. they weren't planning to do anything with the testimony. and he had a point there. congress really wasn't -- there was a lot of that stuff going on in congress. politicians are not famous for telling the truth. clemens being, maybe, you know, less than honest in front of congress, it was sort of part of the whole, no big deal defense. >> so this is it? no more trials? >> no more trials. he also had a terrible lead prosecution witness who admitted lying before. it was not a great case. but this is a real blow to the justice department. >> jeff toobin, thanks very very much. a lot more of more we're following tonight. asia's back. >> since john mccain is calling for the u.s. military to lead a coalition to help syrian opposition fighters seen here in battle. three of the top four vote

nightmare conditions for crews in colorado. dames when we come back.

digging deeper tonight, new concerns about an alleged epidemic of sex abuse being covered up in new york's ultraorthodox hasidic jewish community. it's a sect where ancient traditions collide with the new world and also a powerful voting block for brooklyn politicians. that includes a veteran district attorney who some say is willing to sacrifice justice for the young victims to win the support of powerful rabbis. gary tuchman reports. >> reporter: the ultraorthodox are a small percentage of jews as a whole. brooklyn, new york, is the largest such population outside of israel. one of them is rabbi rosenberg. so your judaism is as strong as ever? >> yes, it is. >> reporter: but rabbi rosenberg is troubled. you're saying you believe 1 out of 5 children in your community has been molested? >> yes. we believe that. we know that. >> reporter: allegations of a widespread sex abuse cover-up in this community has led rabbi

rosenberg to launch a hot line for victims and their families. he's now subjected to things like this. if you thought that wa good you'd be wrong. posters with his face on a snake with the words corrupt trader traitor spelled out in the hebrew. also -- so you say you received death threats because of this? >> death threats. on daily basis. >> reporter: the ultraorthodox jewish world is very insular. life is lived like it was many centuries ago. the problem with cutting yourself off from people like police is child molesters and xond scoundrels often take advantage. because of this, report to rob religious leaders not to police. people will almost never talk to a stranger on camera. can i ask you a quick question? if there's a crime -- i'm with cnn, we're doing a story about the community. when they do talk, you're likely

to hear something like this. do you think child molestations happen in this neighborhood? >> no. >> reporter: not at all? >> not at all. >> reporter: so when you hear about things like that happening, you don't think they're true? >> that's not true. >> reporter: you think people make it up? >> yes. in this neighborhood, cannot happen. >> reporter: why do you think that? >> never happened. >> reporter: don't tell that to pearl, a faithful member of the community who says her son, one of her seven children, was molested by a school official starting when he was 8 years old. >> it pains me. it pains me terribly. >> reporter: she and her husband never knew about it while it was going on. she told leaders in the community when she found out. for the most part she says it was kept quiet. almost 20 years later, it's almost too late to go to police. the statute of limitations has expired. >> the cover-up is what devastates me. because we're not the kind of people to cover this up. we stand for the truth. we stand for, for justice. >> reporter: her son, now 27, has left the community. so has this man.

he says he was molested for years by a tutor. you were how old? >> i was 9. >> reporter: he was how old? >> probably in his late 20s, mid-20s. >> reporter: that's the man who molested you? >> yes. >> reporter: one would presume that brooklyn's district attorney and his chief of sex crimes would be all over these allegation. they say they are. >> anytime we have a single case, it's very serious to us. >> they know exactly whether i'm doing when i'm prosecuting people from their community. they know the people we send to jail. >> reporter: but disturbingly the people you met in this story as well as others believe 22-year veteran d.a. charles heinz is part of the problem. they say this catholic d.a. protects suspected molesters so he can stay in office. >> this is a block vote. when the rabbis say vote for charles heinz there will be nobody here that will not vote for charles heinz. >> he cares about his election. he cares about staying in -- as district attorney, he doesn't

care about the victims. >> reporter: there was anger heinz does not release names of suspected molesters. releasing suspect names is standard procedure in offices all oevlg are the united states. your position is you don't release the names of accused orthodox jewish suspects? >> correct. >> reporter: and why is that? >> because in releasing the names, within days, magically, they find the name of the victim. and then it starts. >> reporter: do you do that with any other community? >> no. i mean, if the amish people were living here, i suppose i'd have the same practice. >> reporter: not the roman catholic church? >> no, there have never been any allegations of intimidation by catholic priests. >> reporter: don't you see you're trying to gain favor with a certain voting block for you? >> no.

>> reporter: he says he's been able to increase arrests after starting a special program to reach out to victims. pearl engelman doesn't believe much of what the d.a. says but notably admits she, too, did not tell the police when she found out her son had been molested. >> it didn't even enter my mind. >> reporter: how come? >> we don't go to the police. we take -- we take care of things in the community itself. >> reporter: taking care of the community at the expense, it seems, of the victims. >> it's an incredible statistic. one in five potentially kids have been abused in that community, if that's true, and that's unbelievable. has there been an increase in arrests since the d.a. started withholding names? >> the d.a. has been in office more than two decades. he admits for the first 19 of those years, there were very few arrests. he says over the last three they've had 101 arrests. is that a big number? i don't know. i don't know how many more people are out there, and is that because he's holding the names? don't know the answer to that either. but i do know that the d.a. has just made a decision that he

will release the names of people arrested in the victims in his or her family wants the names to be released, but it's a tough onus to put on victims to make that kind of decision in an community where it's so insular. >> fascinating. we'll continue to follow it. coming up, a porn actor who's accused of killing, dismembering a university student in montreal, mailing body parts to politicians, he's back in canada tonight. dames ahead.
