12:02 pm
, one of the volunteer groups that started their own border patrol's to try to help stop illegal immigration. >> caught between two governments. so many politicians pontificate. john: the border fence to n cover the old border. >> as smart smuggler is not going to go to where the security is. he will take the weak spot. john: lots of weak spots like this and guarded tunnel that led him what to mexico. >> you are in mexico now. you're in violation. john: even where there was fans, people vetiver. they bring ladders like this one we found lying right next to the fans', they c holes in the fence. this one has been passed, but it does not matter howigh fences if you can cut holes in it. john: many illegal are caught

12:04 pm
miti dance. impervious, scalable. then all the sudden it just hands. this right here is absurd. >> despite the billions we have spent, there are still lots of balls in the fence. especially the older part. >> this looks like a pretty good-sized already your. >> this is an area that we have volunteers who came down with a welding track and well that up these holes. i mean, it is patchwork. >> i'm touching mexico. john: not that hard to g over the fence. drug dealers bui ramps. this car happens to get stuck. kennedy found it was pretty easy to climb the fence. >> you could totally get over this. john: in fact, there were >> pointy. >> easiir to cross from the other side.
12:05 pm
jjhn: thank you for going there and clearly there are problems with both sounds. but proponents of the wall say, hey, this deters pple. this keeps a lot of people out. >> not really because there are only 33 percent of the border that is actually protected by some kind of fencing. as you saw, -- john: suspect at downtown every 2,000 miles in the mexican border. >> just the southern border. john: the other part is harder to get to, mountainous. >> it is mountainous, boris. there were holes all over the part of the fence that we saw. arizona, texas, you're going to see the same thing. it is the -- chain is only as strong as its weakest link. the chain is only effective as pistol. john: this is the age of cool, amazing technology. i would think with drones, the cameras, president bush found it a virtual fans. >> he did promise a virtual
12:06 pm
fans, t it was costly, still reques a lot of border patrol manpower. john: they give up on it. >> they did. it was costing billions of dollars. the gao, a general accounting office issued several skating reports about the virtual fans because itas a boondoggle, too expense and it was enough time to work and still require just as much if not more manpower. john: they could spend more, but most of the people who sneak in the country now, 40%. >> forty to 50%. forty to 50 percent of the peop like him into this country and stayed illegally are here on student visas. john: illegal visas and then just she was there already in the country. >> they hang out and stay past their visa stamp de. john: all wall does not solve the problem. thank you. currently congress is working on an immigration reform bill. many people are optimistic that there will come up and it , but an agreement and an easier path to citizenship. i, for one, up they do.
12:07 pm
many conservatives are nervous. for years they wanted more done about thht stream of people crossing the border. >> we cannot shut that off unless we build a fence and a wall. i want to put all wall in. i designed one. >> a little bit of wire on top to provide. put a letter there. @% can also electrify this wire. the kind of current that would not kill somebody the simply b a discouraging for them to be fooling around. livestock all the time. john: immigration problem should improve, he says. >> you can take it back now. if somehow they got their economy working and got their laws working and in mexico we could pull this back and just as easily as reported in. john: former presidential candidate in colorado congressman, more security and wants other measures to deter illegal immigration. congressman, thank you for joing espirito would u do? we showed the holes in the wall3
12:08 pm
that does not look likehe answer to me. >> it isn't. and the reporter is absolutely correct when she says it is only as good as its weakest link. there are some places where there are not at all. it is almost a joke. for the most part it is done for the purpose offand coming to thh congress and the american people and saying, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the border. it is now secure. the fact is, you can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the border and istill not will be secure. here is what can be done. all you have to do his mandate and then enforce e-rary. the mandated for eveey single employee. they have to simy take social security. elle on line and it takes two minutes of the most. d.c. the person wanting a job, let they're social security nuer and put it and because bat-to-bat.
12:09 pm
i don't know what's wrongith it. the number is bad. if you do that, if you mante and un force to important things , e-verify. most of this problem goes away. you say enforce. john: meaning that somebody uld punish the business that hires someone without using e-verify. >> correct. or if they use it, even if they use it and still hire a person who is coming back with the wrong social security number, that could be a violation and after enforce it. john: this sounds very appealing. just one computer database where you can check. but youre a conservative. you don't trust the government. why would you trust them to run e-verify correctly? >> well, right now about 250,000 businesses use it. they use it on a voluntary basis. it is a relatively easy thing to do.
12:10 pm
we require businesses to do all kinds of things in terms of hiring practices. this is probably the easiest step in the process. a simple entry into a database. right now is like 98 percent accurate or better. john: think about that, 98 percent. 98 percent accurate sounds pretty good. and it a gao audit into dozen 11 found it was even better. 99 percent accuracy. but that means about 450,000 people who are legit get flagged as illegal. that is awful. >> first of all, they don't get the job is the issue. you know what, this is not 100 percent. it is not 100 percent.
12:11 pm
@%t it just. yo wantn answer? that is my question. you actually want to do something about it all would you rather have, as you said, labor force that is affected only by rkets? demand. people come. the wwge rates and lowered because they're is a lot of demand. so be it. john: what's wrong with that? >> well, what is wrong with i okay. how about the millions of americans whose wage rates are depressed and/or the people who are displaced. the employer like that and a lot of consumers would like it, b the workers are oing to be negative affected. john: whatbout the americans to do have just because their wo for gloria who were these businesses created by emigrants.

>> let them keep working. immigrants, we are not trying to stop every immigrant from coming into the count. why not take in that we need desperately, people coming in with capital to actually do exactly what you said, invest in business. people coming in with skills3 that we need. right now we don't need a lot of people with low skills and low wage rates. they are just not necessary. john: i'm going to talk later in the show about age onbe visas which is for skilled workers. you called them fraudulent. >> they are. john: h1 be visas were originally designed for the person that has unique underlying -- unique qualifications nowhere elsen the world can we find that person. that it -- that is what it was designed for. john: nowhere else in the world? >> yes. i'm sorry. no one in e united states defined person with that qualification.
12:13 pm
what it has turned into unfortunately, again, a lot of the oddest that you referred to earlier have identified the problem. they're now being used to bring people in who have skills but will work for less than people who are presently employed in the united states. john: people in america are just as skilled and could take the people fro india, the computer engineers are not better. >> in the of the ititutions of higher education. are you really not turning out ybody that has these particular skis? it will tell you all the time that they are, but they are in direct up -- competition. john: a lot of the graauate students are from china and india. they are skilled, but they're not americans. we bring them over and give them a colleg education and then put them out. >> that's right.
