keeping asylum in mexico to come here for our taxpayer-funded benefits? >> it is clear they are coming here for asylum and the benefits of being in america and part of that of these taxpayer-funded benefits. they will get a better education then they came from. more than half of america's immigrant population is on some kind of means tested program. about half of the immigrants have hardly a high school education if that, they pose an enormous drain on public schools and the public welfare system and pull down the wages of ordinary working americans. >> in your estimation what is the cost to the us, federal, state and local taxpayers? the number we have is $116 billion a year but do you see different costs? >> that is a cost that can be calculated for means tested benefits and all that but on top

of that think about the problems it creates in public schools. in fairfax county, virginia, there are 50 different languages spoken and resources they are diverting from native americans for their education and consequences for them in the job market. when the public school system is completely distracted by these kinds of problems it is very difficult to provide a quality program for the people it was put there for. >> in your estimation what should be done? >> these people should be turned back. of mexico wants to let them pass through their territory than it ought to keep them. the second thing is we need to finally reform the immigration system so we don't have chain immigration, get rid of the lottery system. the canadians and australians face similar problems and are very strict, you have to bring a skill the country needs, half of

our immigrants qualify that way and those are people that should be getting it. todd: what happens with the migrants caravan? >> >> how to what donald trump will do about anything but if they get across the border it will be hard to send them back. >> always a pleasure, thanks for getting up early and giving us great insight, appreciate it, 37 minutes after the are, senate race in west virginia gets downright vicious. >> your new jersey approach of trying to interrupt, why don't you let me finish? >> i take offense to that jersey approach. the war of words reached epic levels in the mountain state, not so happy hour, where you can get bounced out of the bar just for wearing a make america great again had. ♪
