white house officials say more definitive proof is required and that the united states is not ready to take more direct intervention in the country, including military intervention. the response comes from the administration's legislative liaison to congress, not the president, who has repeatedly asserted that syria's use of chemical weapons would cross a redline. is not clear what amount of chemical weapons may have been usedo win. no word on how many casualties might have resulted. in other words, much more intelligence is required. who will be taking this issue up along with many other foreign policy challenges with pulitzer prize-winning journalists, and judith miller, and former prosecut and author andrew mccahy. to the immigration debate, the senior senators from new york and arizona have a message for critics of comprehensive immigration reform. charles schumer and john mccain say, any bill that does not have

up at the citizenship will go nowhere. at a judiciary hearing today, our first steps prosted the rush to pass the gang of eight immigration proposal. joininus now, senator jeff sessions, a member of the judiciary on services in carmen the public works and budget committee. good to have you with this. first,t, your reaction to the schumer mccain declaration and challenge. >> this is the way they have donehis whole process. they reached an agreement in secret in have agreed to stick together on all of the major principles in that bill. and so its unsurprising that they are telling the world there not going to consider any other way to deal with people compassionately. other than giving them a full path the citizenship. now, my view has been for quite a number of years that after

1986 anyone that enters the country illegally should never be given to every benefit that we give to people who come legally, and i think that there is no moral or legal case to provide ful citizenship for people who have entered our country illegally. lou: the gain of eight, you have asked, and senator roberts in senator grassley have asked for more information on how immigrants access to, as you define them, a different means-tested benefits programs, what the impact on the budget would be in the economy. you still have not received a response. this seems a egregiously, if you will, i different to reasonable requests on the part of colleagues in what is suppose to be a highly collegial u.s. senate. what is going on? >> well, first off, they don't even know. apparently they don't give much concern to it.

they don't even know how many people will be allowed into the country legally in the next ten years under their belt. asked about that today. senator schumer had no answer to the question. monitoring how many people will be admitted. this is what we know. there will be 11 million people illegally here but on a guaranteed pat the citizenship over two years or so. then you have four and a half million in the family-based -- lou: senator, i have to interrupt. if we could, we are looking at a picture ofenator marco reveal right now talking about illegal immigration in the senate. what i would like to do, if i may ask our producers and director, please, if we may for just a moment we will go to the sender in just a moment. but if we can focus our attention on senator sessions right now as he is responding to my question. senator, if you would go ahead. >> we know there will be

11 million people plus for a half million that would be immediately legalized. eleven of them being here illegally now. and then in addition to that it looks like there will be at least a 50% annual increase in the number of immigrants into the country, which would be another 15 million, so right there you're looking at about 30 million over the next ten years when the current immigration flow would be 10 million. so polling numbers show, majority of the american people think the legal number is too high now. so the message going out is we will have tougher enforcement andess immigration. this is a dramatic increase, and there will be huge costs because most of the 11 million in the families that they will bring three chain migration, most of them will qualify for benefits, either after ten years or ler because they have tried to avert

an amount of time. the cost financially to the country will be huge overtime. lou: is dinformation -- let me say this first. i am very disappointed that the senate, the house of representatives, the administration has not set forth the republican party and democratic party alike, an independent objective study of what would be the result, the impact of the public policy choice here. i know you have struggled to do precisely that and bring as much information board. the heritage foundation has done as much. on the left, similar studies, similar judgments. will we don't have, an independent objective assessment of what the impact will be. that is to the american people who are being foreclosed from a

participation in hearings as well, this seems a strange, if you will, iteems a conscious, highly manipulative effort on the part of both parties to shut down the voice of the american people and to resist a dialogue and a discussion of the facts because i think most americans want this issue resolved. they want a rational, effective, humane solution. but there is, if you will, a conspiracy of confusion, and insistence on ignorance about the very important issues you bring a.m., many of them here tonight as you have to draw your career. we have to assess them. why that the case? >> that no one that american people to of fully understand the ramifications of this legislation. the people who have written this bill are some of the opponents of very large erasion close.

ey're notoncerned about the cost. they don't want to talk about the cost. they have a political will to achieve. they think is the right thing. those of us in the american people, those of us in congress need to know what it will be, just like you said, lou. need to know how many people come, how much it will cost, what the ramifications are, how much it will impact wages and job employment rates in america. it will hurt the working american with these numbers. there is no doubt about that. and so the political goal has got to give way to what is in the best interest of america and the american people. a lawful system that treats you decently and compassionately, people have been here a long time. i am for that. i am for an immigration system that allows the rest to come in, but they should be lawful and serve the national interest. is to bring the kind of people who have the best chance to be successful in america, not the

ones that don't have the education or the skills to be successful. those of the kind of rational questions i have. lou: senator, we thank you very much for being with us. rse jeff sessions, good to talk with you. much more on illegal immigration and the debate and the latest on the boston bombings throughout this broadcast. much more straight ahead. stay with us. most americans are disgusted with congress and even congressional leaders know why. we will tell you all about it tonight "chalk talk." good news on the economy today. jobless claims falling to a nearly 5-year low. what does it mean? harvard economist martin feldstein with his outlook on prosperity for america. ♪ the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card to fly home for theig family reunion.

it is the secret that the sequester was, despite repeated denials that suddenly could be overcome the fact, those repeated denials fadeaway. and it was, after all, the obama administration's idea after all. they proposed as part of the agreement. in fact, it resolve the debt ceiling spike two years ago. pretty impressive. it was their idea, and now they are upset. they didn't want to admit it. there are almost $17 trillion in debt. well, i mean, just last month president obama said we don't have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. well, that amounts to $16 trilon, and the american people don't agree. a new fox polls shows 40%, 40 percent of those surveyed would describe the nation's debt
