10:09 pm
security. lou: about 10% of the overall measure. and what comes into play, as you know is whether or not it will be efftive and wheth the triggersill work, there is -- at least a i he read it -- still no role for anyone but admistration to decide whether or not there is a secure border. that is kind of tough for a lot of these republicans to swallow. how do y you respond? >> understand all of these things are triggers. there is no green card, no l full permanent residents status for anye that has entered illegally, until all of those triggers are met. and with -- we have a $4.5 billion comehensive strategy edge plan that must be depled. that is wrien i with the

seno and radars, and drones, and planes, and the fin and rdergencies, to make sure that bored ser secured. e-verify and the entry-exit systems to design if people are here when people come in, we make sure they don't over sta their visas and requi enenforcement against people who do. that is why cbo came out today an said, not only will it reduce illegal immigration, but it will help revent the visa er stays which is 40% of the problem. lou: if i may the numbers 25% of illegal immigrants entering, that is on -- who would be affected by this legislation. lou no. that is the underlying bill, that is why it is clear we need these kinds of amendments we put forward to secure the border,
10:11 pm
th is the underlyg bill without our amendment. lou: let me show new the same report what congress budget office sai although cbo cannot predict precisely estimate the impact on population provided coittee approved version o proposed amendment the agents expect amendment would fur reduce annual flow into u.s. under the committee approved bill that is a l f words to say, they don't know. >>f i may -- >>-->> the unctain associated wi future population flows under current law as approved by the committee o the amendment
10:12 pm
is very great. you tell me, how i can divine much that is specific authoritive or reliable from what theongression budget office said, if that the ca. certaintys very great. >> two thing fir the llst part you are reading relates to financial aspec they talk about financial benefits that come wi comprehensive immigration reform of all most a trillion dollars over next 20 years are still atlay. that i what uncertainty refers, to if you look in middle of the report it says a signicant reduction, as well as making sure we fine and prosecute them so we don't every state visas. lou: senator it say precisely, the unctaty, if we may put it up again. >> i underand that is in there. lou: want audience to see what

10:15 pm
coressional budget was on the has only 25% of illegal immigration will betopped by this legislation, and whatever your amendment is to thatt is still, frankly too little, when we have a proposition that i think you will agree there is a -- that wor, you cannot reform immigration law unless you control immigration, you cannot control immigration if you did not control the borders and ports. >> we agr. wegree we need to control the border. that is what we're trying to do. no that ishye that have build the fence but also triggers there is no lawful permanent status until that is done i agree we have to find a way to isic cureconomy isure the -- secure the border. lou: thank you senator. >> thank you lou.

>> militarizing our border. that is gang of eight member center lindsay gramm urging support for the immigration legislation becauseccording to the senator it but dry as the border. despite theangf eight vy best efforts a drive througg the legislation not everyone is buyinn that. opponents said the bill is simply too long, that no one seemedo have read it, and it has been nngotiated behind cledoors and doesot come cle to doing what has been promised. here are just a few of the examples in contingence. one, border security itsel the amendment promises to add 20 dozen border paol agents.
10:29 pm
but the path to citizenship begins on the one. the agents cannot be hired. 20,000 extras that they cannot that -- starr hiring before 2017 which is quite a twist. meland security secretary janet napolitano has been given five years to raise the total number of tires to 20,000. experts say the hiring of some many agents could take up to 20 years. and there is the cost issue as always. according to the congressional budg offe the immigration bill would cut the defic by nearly 200 billion over the next decade. critics say that conclusion is based on washington accounting tricks using social security and medicaid perrot contributions fr newly legalized workers to fund spending elsewhere.
