humble individual and a person who has humility in their life that understands the presidency of the united states, i want to work for the americanple not the other way around. i don't know if everybody really understands that. i want to go to washington d.c. and try to make washington as inconsequential in american's life as i can make it. >> governor, how long can you run the campaign with the amount of money now. how is fund raising. >> we've had the best fund raising since june, last week. everybody has had challenges in their life for money, i certainly have as a farmer out there in west texas back in the '70s and '80s, i've had-- in my personal life, i've had it as a governor. we had 10 billion dollar shortfall, you address it by cutting spending. that's what we've done. we've cut spending. it's not going to change anything from my perspective of me being in iowa, me being in south carolina. i have the best turnout in the last 48 hours and going back to south carolina, later in the week. >> good morning, we're going to be watching. >> we'll continue on with our campaign. maria: thank you for joining us, governor, great to c

united states since children and lived a more typically american life. they went to public school, graduated from high school and inspired to go to college. there were immigrants who lived for years in florida or chicago or virginia and got tripped up at the border going home to visit their family. s saddest and most determined were the parents separated from their children. i rarely saw the kids who lost a parent but when i did it was painful. the little girl i saw crying under the table in the family visiting room the day i visited yolanda haunts me still. here name was jaclyn. she was an american citizen and she was four years old. it struck me this child is bearing the full burden of the country's immigration policy on her shoulders and the weight of it was crushing her confronted with the scary jail, angry guards, unhappy mother, and the father who was a stranger to her she responded the only way she could. she through herself on the floor, clenched her first and wailed. so that is what this book is about. it is about the two sides of this issue. the detention and the deportation. i thought i would tell you about how i came to this topic. my first book was primarily ab

american at the death of that woman. and that nobody has come here to look for excuses or anything else. that woman should be alive. that woman should be enjoying life in the united states of america. mr. lopez should never have been allowed on the streets of our nation again. but i think it is important that we have the facts straight. that our system does work. and sometimes it fails us. he was sentenced 63 months, 51 months 21 months 46 months four consecutive times he was sentenced to over 10 years. and he served them. over 10 years in jail because he illegally entered the united states of america time and time again, violating. this is a career criminal that we had on our hands. so i think we should just try to figure out a way, because i really believe this. and i will put it on the record even though it may cause you great damage back in south carolina. for you and i and the men and women wanted to solve this problem, we could save future people from harm. this man is not an immigrant. immigrants come here to work hard, sweat and toil. we should be warm and receiving. this man is a foreigner. who came here to cause damage. and let's fix our broken immigrat
