john is in port st. lucie, florida. on the republican disagree line. caller: thank you for that wonderful news about mr. waxman's retirement. you made my day. for the postal-- service. i love how these numbers change. how did we get to 11 million? it was 12 million just a few years ago. that mantra was spoken for many years. i guess they did self to port during the let -- self-deport during the recession. areink the republicans shooting themselves in the foot. if they gain anything, it will be negated from their base. one last thing, if anything, if you listen to all of the calls over the years from c-span -- into c-span, this unites everybody. blacks, whites, hispanics that are here legally and have been for years, paying their taxes -- nobody wants this to go through who is here legally. all of you here is the special interest groups, the special left-wing groups for the hispanic community -- but if you listen to who calls into your station, if there is one thing that unites us together as a country it is this illegal immigration that we want stopped
