>> i think that the government blew it. they said basically we're not spying on any americans. but it is like, oh, wonderful. melissa: mark zuckerberg takin his information, but he's okay sharing yours. saying they are not cashing in on private messages. some say they have a case. >> this is a very interesting case or it the class representative of all the facebook users. what they are saying is that facebook is violating their privacy rights under state and federal laws because they are going into the private messages. we'r talking about and that is
6:12 am
being scanned by facebook and shared by others. melissa: there is an argument that this is violating the electronic communities and privacy act. >> that is the argument. but really we need to look at what the user agreement is between facebook and its users a master copy of a complaint. and it shows that facebok warns people about what they will do what tir with their data. and some of it includes giving it to advertisers or at they have access to just about everything. >> under the complaint that says that it compensates the data related to the private messages.
6:13 am
and so it does. melissa: decided their hope of? >> it doesn't do them off the hook though. the facebook user agreement is ambiguous on this topic and i think for a reason. to take advantage of its privacy -- user privacy for profit. google was recently sued and a judge ruled against google for this exact same thing. google is appealing a trade-off has also been talking about this type of privacy invasion and if that is going to have difficulty defending this. because it's not as if you're posting it forthe whollorld to see. melissa: they are there using algorithms to see what you're saying and then sell your interest in what you're doing to ther people so they can take advantage of that a sell that and sell things to you.
6:14 am
so even though they are appealing. >> the judge has ruled that it's too big and they violated their own terms. against facebook to see if there user situation is as vague as that. bjorn from what you heard, it sounds like it is part of this remark i think it's probably more ambiguous and i also think that reasonable expectation of the facebook use is that those private messages will be private. they won't be part of any other purpose for profit or for any other detrimental costs. melissa: it means big money to them. i don't want to gloss over the point. but that is how they make money on facebook. and if you are honored during your business and posting your pictures, the only way facebook
6:15 am
makes money is you look at the stock price or. and so this is a big blow if he loses. >> it is. i take issue with the fact that anyone who really believes that they could have a private message on something as big as social media. if you don't like facebook, you don't have to belong to facebook. you can turn it off. soon i don't expect the government to be listening on my phone calls either. >> let's keep in mind this lawsuit is coming in the wake of a federal judge that says that investors in the public offering last year can go forward forward with our lawsuit against resort. severe dealing with lawsuits on so many different kinds you and thank you to both of you, we will talk about it more.
6:19 am
>> a lot of people follow and i know florida is basing this same issue and i really think that they were both waiting on us to act. melissa: that is sergio garcia who can practice law in california. the california supreme court giving him the green light. that is the latest giving more rights to illegals and many lawmakers in washington are pushing for immigration reform as well. the heritage foundation estimating that granting amnesty to illegals would cost taxpayers more than $6 trillion.
6:20 am
and that is exactly what our editor is afraid of. here to clash out wih her is adam lashinsky. the kiwi, let me start with you. because every time i do this today, there are so many individuals on either side. the cost to all of the social welfare programs, versus how much productivity, what work that they would do and what they can consume. sohow do you come by the numbers? >> i actually ascribed to paul ryan's view that entitlements, yes, that's something we need to look at. and it doesn't actually allow som to have entitlements. so that is part of the debate. but when marco rubio, when he approached the chief actuary, they said 3.2 million jobs will be created over 10 years and gdp growth will actually be one third-grader over 10 years. so as long as, in my opinion, as
6:21 am
long as we can push aside the entitlements an allow people to get jobs, it will be that good in the ong run. melissa: adam, what do you think about tha >> that makes good sense to me. there's no question that our entire economy in the history of our country is built upon the backs of immigrants. so everything that we can do to make illegal immigrants legal in a sort of responsible and measured process, it ll be good for not only those people that the entire country. melissa: but you know this whole idea of pushing it aside, already you're seeing illegals in this country become part of the system, whether it's sending their children to school where they are not legal residents or paying taxes. and it is a drag on the economy. we were talking about this the specific case of sergio garcia in california. and it makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. someone who has been living outside of the law illegly is
6:22 am
not supposed to respect nd uphold as legal advice when he is still here illegally. >> yes. he is someone whose immigration status is pending. he was born in mexico and he came at a young age. he went to law school and so the court said in this case, he is someone who can practice law. until it is in a very special case. he's not some criminal who hopped over th border in the dark of night. melissa: but by virtue of coming here legally, you say he's not a criminal. but the law is the law. >> to comment. his status is pending and that's part of it. >> when it's been pending, we all know people have come to this country illegally.
6:23 am
melissa: let kelly get a word. >> ironically, the questions were so probing all the way down to have you, if i had had a traffic violation, there there's an illegal immigrant who doesn't even have the goods are there has to be respect for the law. melissa: you can of the last word. >> i will talk about that. and that i just told you how upstanding you are as an individual.

that relates to your prior story, there is a fundamental issue in this country. the law is a law. americans get frustrated when laws are not enforced, wetherbee the immigrationssue or the obamacare issue. it was just months ago when the president came out and said obamacare is the law of the land and people need to abide by it. we have seen that along care is supposed to be enforced. the obama administration then sells realized it could not be enforced, so they keep changing the law which violates the constitution because only congress, not the president, has the power to change laws in this country. melissa: it is incredibly frustrating, and americans share your sentiment in both stories. you feel like, i am forced to live my life within the law or risk going to jail and did you see other people who are supposed to be enforcing an embarrassing loss in the country or violating them, the president to launch your point of being one of them. how worthing supped tbe
6:29 am
changed as we get closer and closer boat -- we passed the deadline, but as the president saw that it will be hard to meet, what could he have done? >> i actually -- action was taken to fix the present -- problems. the united states house of representatives passed laws that fix these problems. all the president had to do is pick up the phonn, call harry reid and say, i need you to have the senate agree with the law passed by the house which would have fixed the problem. that is the constitutional way to address this challenge, not by these e legal fiat's. melissa: what is it that you are doing now? banding together with these other attorneys general. what to you hope to achieve? >> the first is to give the secretary of health and human rvices, at to get her to agree to no longerake these illegals changes and to ensure that navigator's comply with the law
6:30 am
and rise to higher standards, but failing that, this is team is set for other potential legal challenges to the way that obamacare law is being enforced. it is now no longer the law of the land. the obama administration has written a lot. melissa: and they are running for her -- to the majority of people and texas not like obamacare? >> texans are completely frustrated with the obamacare law. fresh credit with the federal government tried to tell them what to do, make them buy products that they don't want, but presser with the president's that has no regard for constitutional principles. yes, taxes are in agreement with me that we need to do all that we can to overturn the overreached. melissa: the tremendous lack of
6:31 am
security. doesthat surprise you? what duties to be done about that? >> this is a part of the letter that we sent to secretary sibelius. the second time we broke -- pass this issue. we're in the process of covering -- coming of the new standards not try to compromise the private individual information. melissa: thank you for your time. good luck. it is important that we provide coverageor all people. if everyone has coverage then they're not going to the emergency room for treatment. melissa: enrollees are actually 40 percent more likely to visit th emergency room. the daily caller jamie wines teen says the numbers directly counter that the president's
6:32 am
promised a health care reform would cut costs the hospital. you know, i found this study -- welcome to the show, shoing. it found that people that were on the roles of medicaid, and this is in oregon, i believe, went on average to the emergency room one-and-a-half times per year as opposed to closer to once a year for people who are not. had the race when this? >> a national study program. let's get the researchers. they expanded their -- so researchers would compare the 10,000 that got medicaid for those that didn't. aziz said they frequent the doctor more often than not. melissa: one of the logical assumptions.
6:33 am
the logic behind thinking they would go less is that if you had coverage you'd have a primary care physician. so you would rather go see a regular doctor then go to the emergency room. let's be honest is a nightmare to the riser room. takes forever. you don't know what can of -- even the new york times is supported that theirs is not enough doctors up there to take care of medicaid patients. that is certainly a possible explanation. that is the only way one can explain that. they're even coming in for routine things like colds, which would not think he would need to get emergency care for, the emergency room, especially if he did not have insurance. melissa: i have to look at this personally because it makes no sense. no one in my household has gone
6:34 am
to the are even once. you would basically need a gunshot wound in my house because it is awful. you sit there for hours, have no idea who you will see, and it is much easier to wait and go to the doctor. what are the poly implications of this? does is get john? is a lot more expensive to send someone to the right to zero and then to send them into a doctor's ffice for visit. >> a goes to one of the planks of what president obama use in order to sell the law, that this would decrease the deficit. tens of millions of more people, they get is short and the deficit will go down. there was a lot of gimmickry. now we know that one of the plankshat people would not use emergency care as much if they are on insurance. turns out not to be true. melissa: thank you for your time >> thank-you. melissa: remember when former vice president dick cheney said this? >> what do youw
