country and that means if we need an aircraft carrier in the gulf, and i believe we do, i thought we needed one more, that he should do it. i think if there are people who are incarcerated, he should make sure that we're able to keep them in jail. using the sequester as an excuse is in my opinion the wrong way to go. look it, again, it's politics, it's how do we do something to get a headline to make it look like the terrible republicans aren't willing to come together. >> harris: and there is more of chris wallace's interview with the romneys beginning tomorrow only on fox news channel. so, governor romney joining a course of republicans pushing back on the claims that spending cuts forced immigrants to go free. and reportedly releasing 2000 illegal immigrants from immigration and customs enforcement custody, or ice. now, internal documents reportedly showed that number could have been higher.

dominic di-natale is in los angeles with details on that. as many as 5,000 of these illegal immigrants may eventually be released. how is that possible after the administration said only a hundred either the white house didn't know or suddenly seems to be pushing the blame on the department of homeland security. you're right they said originally a few hundred, not 2000 of those illegal immigrants who have already been released have been celebrating their release and here is what one of them said earlier. >> of course i had fear, i want to comply with all of the laws, i want to live here well, and go to my court and hope that we have an immigration reform so i can stay here safely. >> reporter: a massive barrel of criticism as a result of not knowing or perhaps the problems and concerns just who

the people are that have been released and even though the government says they're very low risk, harris. >> harris: we may or may not find out what they knew and when they knew it, but plainly the white house is putting responsibility on the department of homeland security. so what's the response to the leak? >> well, the homeland security says it doesn't anticipate any more additional releases, but all the same, it issued this statement on saturday saying this is what may or may not happen. they're saying that it could change based on sequester, we do not yet know what the cut rate will be. priorities to detention remains serious criminal offenders and other individuals who pose a significant threat to public safety. now, some of those that have been released will have tags and have to report in quite frequently, but the republicans have been saying, look, they're still a threat or a flight risk to public security. you shouldn't have these illegal poeople running around

the country and there's no indication that really, many more of those might be released obviously, with the round that we know have and the governor wants to release as few as possible and see if they do, harris. >> harris: i have to say that statement was rather mind-spinning. basically they're saying the numbers may go up, but they don't know? >> basically i think they're trying to manage expectations and probably hard for them to pull back now because it's expensive to keep the prison,with the budget cuts, they've still got to happen and what is the department of homeland security going to do. probably have to let them go. >> there's more on the story, dominic di-natale, thank you very much. >> a march in alabama today marking a historic chapter in our country's story of civil rights known as the bridge crossing jubilee, honoring the 1965 march from selma to montgomery and vice-president joe biden in attendance, paying tribute to martin luther king, jr. the march in 65 took place on what became known as bloody

yet the situation in egypt could get worse in coming weeks as opposition parties are set it boycott next month's elections. some opposition groups protested kerry's visit and refuse today even meet with them, they believe that the u.s. is too supportive of the ruling muslim brotherhood party which they say is anti-democratic and islamic extremist. secretary kerry says they don't want to pick, they want to see reform. >> harris: a bombing at a house of worship as we go around the world in 80 seconds. pakistan.
