obstruction just to lock the best chance we have had in years to address this problem in a way that has spared business owners and legal immigrants. reporter: later in the day the gang of eight cleared that hurdle a wide margin. eighty-two to 15 after a push from tim kaine, who livered s speech in spanish. [speaking in native tongue porter might even senate republican leademitch mcconnell voted to mov forward on thedebate. though he warned other roadblocks could be coming. >> i think senator cornyn ha the key amendment to put us in a position where we can actually look at the american people with a straight face and say that we are going to secure the border. repoer: that amendment by john cornyn would force the department of homeland security to reach specific metrics, such as apprehension of at least 90% of all illegal border crossers

for the overall stand. the key publican negotiator, senator marco rubioacknowledge that preventing a future wave of illegal immigrations critical toecuring conservative support. >> we are going to do that is as part of this bill. cause if we dont, it will not pass n the american people will not support it reporter: rubi had some momtum after lly ayotte backed the bill, helping the gang of eight edge clser to a filibuster proof majority. >> this is a thoughtful bipartisan solution to a tough probm. that is why i amoing to supported. reporter: by t republicans ar seizing on the fact that the spsors will not say how many peoppe they expect to enter into the country. >> you don't know or you won't say. either one is an indictment of this monstrosity. reporter: the president noted today that it would take 1 yes for most even apply, but

he said that is no cawalk. but says that bill is not strengthen in the senateit will crash a and burn in the house. lou: ed henry from the white house, our chief corresndent for the white house. ourfirst g guest tonight disagrees tonight whether there is meaningful security requirements in this legislation. joing us now is the executive director of the national immigration forum, kris kobach, the co-author of numerous immigratn laws, the secretary of state of kansas in both of these men have been engaged in these battles over these years. gentlemen, iis sgood to have you both with us. let me turn to you first. the prident is employing the pathogen at the same time, there iso amendment on border security, even marco rio says thatill not happen if theleft continues to ggin theissues.

>> up to this point we have ad an open and traparent topic. when we lookack at the judiciary committee, there are bipartiian votes about a number of amendments supportedy both republicans and democrats and that is the best part about where we are right now. we areabouto start a thoughtful and intentional debate about how to fix our system. all of us are goig to be abe to see exactly how this ll is going to come together. i do think that will see additional measures to make sure that people are protected as well. but that is what w want ngress to do. there is no other issue right now that has this kind of bipartisan momentum like immigration. i thinit is going to be very interesting. lou: chris, this may shck you, but i'm going to agree nd tell you that i think that right now they he the best shot but they ve ever ha. that is for those seeking new immigraaion law, if they have

the sense and the judgment and the humility to actuallysecure the border if they lk nonnse about numbers and meics rather than an actual border that is secured, the border patrol especially. you know, i think your side wins. if they don't, ihink they prevail. what do you think? >> the bill that is writtenas noing that will help law enforcement and indeed, this includes the status uo. it does all kinds of things that we cantalk about so the amenents inthe commttee that were serious amends to increase border enforcement will reject it. for example, thereas an amendment ofred to finis the 0 miles that was promised way back in october of 2006. that was rejected. there was a amendment to stop the newly legalized income tax

credit. that amement was rejected. if this pattern occurs in he sete and these reasonable amendments are rected, you will see the vast majority o republicans vo against this bill. happens. >> heris an example. we just received tis in which patrick leahyreintruces equality to same-sex cples which he ha withdrawn in this procedural vote. this is nothg morethan righteous ideological iistence upon deeming it again. he nveyed one message. w he reintroduces it and that is hardly the work of lottie legislation. >> you h the nail on the head. we do not need gimmicks and

metrics and we do n need soundbite policies. what we need is resources to border patrol agents on the ground ang the border o make sure that they are doing their jobs. they are the experts in this situation. we do not need politicians determining our homeland serity. >>o the point is when chris says that this bill guarded border security, the fact is this bill is ading $6 billion to security and this ill leader nation to spend this on federal immigration enforcement. lou: how do you masur succss in controlling not? because we have seen border patrol almost double. >> exactly. lou:hat is the metric by which he will judge sucess? it is suggested that 90% apprehension rate exit. >> along the southwestern border, aprhensions raised as

to new record los. the other thng about this is we tuly have a comprehensive ckage. lou: i am asking youhat is the metric by which to judge this? >> the metric is having smar enforcement measures on the ground in high-traffic areas. lou: lete try this again with kris kobach. what is the measurement? >> you have to have thingsthat e objectively quantifiable. even the90% metric is out o the blue because we don'know what the denominator is. we have 20% of the people that tried to come in. we d't know the number of the people attracted to men. you have t have things you can quantify like this number of miles or etc. >> that is exactlyhat i think. >> increasing the number of federaemployees, for example

we have almost tripled the number of i.c.e. ages since 9/11. >> the obama administration is ordering tm to break federal law d to look the other way. lou: let me ask the question this way. why won'tomeone tell us how many illegal immigrrnts would be give legal statu with this legislation over the course of the next decade? when will someone not give us a numb. is it because they don't know or because they won't say? >> this is why it is sch a good piece of legislation. what will happeno them is that they will go through a criminal background check. lou: i know the process. i'm asking for a numberof. >> then you actuay get to a nuer. giving you an estimte nw is speculation. that is why this office is et

up and people are going throughh it. lou: so any number is fine?3 >> at this pointin time of the forecast. >> it will eventually bring in what is relative, we culd be talking about 30 million over time. this is a huge numb. one thing we heard from marco rubio is e admitted the amnesy comes first and there is no trigger at the beginning that says you have to enforce anything. they get legal status on day one as soon as the department of department of homeland security services a paper to congress. so that means that this is first and the promise of nforcement later we have seen this administration shatter its promises and basicall disarm in @%rms of enforcement. i just don't think that we can trust this government anwe cannot trust ts bill or this administration, i should say.

>> let me give you the last word very quickly. does yr side to believe that they can gain this and get away with it atat this time? >> our side that includes law enforcement and businesses ross the spctrum wants something that creates a 21st century immigration system. the status q is unsustainable. we are wasting billionof dollars in tax money. >> i think you will win if you choose not to gayness. you say you're going to be honestnd straightforward. >> we don't want games, e want a lost. >> sealants he will not try to game the system? >> i feel lke you are leading me somewhere. u: no, am not. i am asking a question and

asking for a straightforward answer. >> there are lots of amendments that are vot down one after another. lou: we thank you gentlemn. i have a feeling that this conversation continues. coming up next we will touch base about the gang of eight immigration bill. edwa snowden, the nsa leaker. ifou hero or a traor? a lot of people are makg their mis early. that's coming up up in tonis "chalk talk." fundraiser and ambassador to belgium epicenter of a state departnt scandal. james rosen th the story coming up
