this is the face of amnesty. children held in detention centers with chain link fences going up 18 feet separating them in separate pens. this is the face of amnesty. our heart breaks for these kids. but if it really breaks for these kids, we should do something about it. the only way to stop this humanitarian crisis is to stop president obama's amnesty. as long as the president continues to promise amnesty, these children will keep coming and they'll keep being victimized. and sadly, as long as senate democrats are unwilling to stand up to their president and say let's actually show some leadership to fix this problem, then the senate will continue to be the democratic do-nothing senate. we won't solve these problems, and we will fail in the fundamental obligation all of us owe to the men and women who elected us. thank you, mr. president. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from alabama. mr. sessions: i would just thank the senator from texas, because it, indeed, is the face of amnesty

now the another proposal is to grant amnesty to their parents. and they were the ones who did knowingly break the law so the rule now is going to be bring a child a legally -- illegally in you will get amnesty to. lou: that is a loud and clear message that has an emanating from the white house literally for years now. so let's turn to the idea that illegal immigrants are now picketing the white house because they want to have representation, direct representation, if you're welcome in the of and ration. so what is a reaction to that demand? >> a sense of entitlement is extraordinary. so this is absurd, here they are having meetings with the white house presenting lists of demands. there is no ending that process. so we have state after state and city after city making it as easy as possible to be here illegally and they get away with it. so everyone gets away with breaking the law. and then what we have, as we said, no more does region between illegal and legal immigration. sumac isn't it interesting that we have a president whose administration

they are coming because they believe they will get amnesty, president obama's amnesty and if we want to solve the problem, the only way to do it is to eliminate the promise of that. >> all right. so we have the situation we have. how do you sort of reverse engineer? let's say the president is watching this and senator ted cruise got a great idea. now we still have all those kids at the border. we still have that problem. what do we do? >> well, your first question about how do you eliminate the promise to amnesty the most simple and director way i have introduced legislation in the senate. it's very short just two pages. it says the president does not have the authority to grant amnesty to any new immigrants who come into this country. you know, one of the things that's really disturbing just a few months ago if the president can't do this, that lois ghost a long long way to eliminating the promise of amnesty which is why these kids are coming. >> let me go to the related topic authority of the president. he clerked in the united states supreme court for the chief justice renquist an

it prohibits the president from granting amnesty. >> when you say amnesty, from allowing these deferred deportations. >> from refusing to enforce our immigration laws. we got immigration laws. the reason that is going straight to the source -- look so much of washington ignores what causes a problem and washington likes to say we pass ad bill. the bill doesn't fix a problem. then it's not helping the children. the objective here is to help the kids. the way you then kids is eliminate the magnet which is president obama's amnesty. >> some democrats say, you talk about helping the children this is a humanitarian crisis above all else and the key is helping the children. harry reid blames you, attacked this year saying radical republicans are trying to hold these kids ransom and then he said this -- >> had we don't comprehensive immigration reform we wouldn't have this issue and everyone here, the border is secure. >> senator, your reaction? >> president obama and harry reid both engaging debates divorced from the facts and divorced from the reality. harry reid lives in the ritz-carlton in

and now, he is claiming that the solution to this border crisis is yet, another amnesty. so this is completely perverse. and yet -- especially when he, excuse me, go ahead. >> he is getting away with it. lou: well he has gotten away with so much, but i get a kick out of, heather, is the president talking about it he is going it alone. that happens to be his, his modus operandi, no matter what he is doing. he in fact is saying to congress, you have to pass the bill that approved and constructed, that is the senate "gang of eight" bill full-on amnesty and open borders or i will go it alone. he will give them only two ways, his way and his way, and acts if no one picks on the lack of distinction between the two. >> exactly. and yet bashes the republicans for not being willing to compromise but he is the one not willing to compromise here. he is already recently been rebuked by the supreme court for engaging in unilateral executive actions. so, this idea that we have this marvelous constitutional law professor up here which is, rather stretching i think what his actual accomp

amnesty looks like a complete district of our rule of law. amnesty is unfolding before our very eyes and i would suggest he only response that will stop this humanitarian disaster is for president obama to start enforcing the law, to stop promising amnesty to stop refusing to enforce federal and the gration law and finally to secure the borders and indeed i would call upon our colleagues in this body in both parties to come together and secure the border once and for all and to stop holding border security hostage for amnesty. >> senator matt asked the question really to all three? i think he described the catastrophe that continues to unfold and indeed grow but i know speaking for myself and i met for all four of us we are actually interested in trying to solve this problem and the president sent over an appropriation request that is essentially a blank check. the senior senator from arizona prep league knowledge of the majority of the monies for health and human services to continue to warehouse these children with no solution. the senior s

would get amnesty.ey believe the president's words. >> that's right. this is that 2008. the new york times came up with that to defend the obama administration. george bush did it. that's what it did not change until 2013-14. it is something this president did and now he wants to slough off. lou: the 2012 executive action in which he deferred deportation for two years. let's turn now to israel. i have to say to you, i cannot believe how constrained the government of israel has been. we are talking hundreds of rockets. the equivalent of 200 million americans in shelters. >> and it is not just the same of rockets. ranges greater. i believe, as you seem to, that there will be a ground invasion. i think that israel cannot tolerate this kind of weaponry. it has to go in and get the weaponry and crushed. and i am not clear on whether they're able to restock its supply. has been cut off by egypt. that is a big change. lou: well, the ambassador knows that they have an inventory of some tens of thousands of thes

or here, you pass a amnesty.t into action without any congressional support, and you bring in more people. is, this is reversed. lou: excuse me. go ahead. >> he is getting away with it? saying to congress have to pass a bill i constructed. senate "gang of eight" bill, full on amnesty and open borders no one picks on the lack of distinction between the two. >> exactly. and yet, bashes the republicans for not being willing to compromise. but he is the one who is not willing to compromise. already recently rebuked by the supreme court for. marvlous constitutional law professor here. stretching what i think his actual accomplishments were is preposterous. lou: with 13 unanimous decisions against his administration, i don't think will pretend effectively that much longer he is a savant on constitutional law? particularly again after losing on so many important cases and, i mean it is striking that he would even maintain, attempt to maintain the fiction. let's, with his own appointees voting against him for crying out

i know you do not support amnesty. that problematic for republican runoff voters? >> i think it is. i think that's why david perdue is coming up with this ridiculous charge, reading polling, knows that he is losing ground because he sat on a board that said the senate amnesty plan was a step in the right direction. we hit him for that. now he has come up with this, which is ridiculous. i'm strong on securing the border. no amnesty, no welfare for illegal aliens and crack down on employers who knowingly hire. not only do you know that, but the constituents know that and david perdue knows that. when you're behind in the polls and it's the last hours of the campaign, you come up with anything you can to try to gain some ground. >> you said in an interview with the atlanta journal constitution there was a possibility that the house would consider impeaching president obama. you've not necessarily given the position whether or not you support that. do you support that? is that something you want to be involved in as you ru

obamacare, amnesty. all republicans are against obamacare, that only leaves amnesty. so, first, i am not interested. i'm out unless you can tell me he voted against amnesty, and second, you better have somebody pretty good who can actually beat him, and, third, make sure it's in a race where we're not going to lose the seat altogether. >> well, thank you very much, ann -- [applause] >> thank you. [applause] oh, one more thing, if you don't mind my saying, i'm going to be signing. we have some books out there, and then there's one sort of crazy thing you won't have seen before, these ann coulter dvds. we're down to the last ones. some liberal friends of mine made it because they told me, who was it, they were doing some boring liberal politician, they said he's boring, can we do you. it's won awards, it's supposed to be great. i haven't seen it because i don't like watching myself, but it is now on sale because i don't want to have to carry them back on the plane with me from $30 to $20. so please buy them so i don't have to carry them on the plane.

amnesty international says it has evidence of deterioration of human rights in egypt. a study was produced by the egyptian center for economic and social rights, amnesty says at least 16,000 morsi supporters have been detained. at least 80 people have died in custody. amnesty says torture was used routinely in police stations and unofficial places of detention. almost 1500 men have been sentenced to death, but the grand musti has yet to give his decision. since january almost 3,000 civilians have died in political violence and more people have lost their lives in the past few hours. we have the report. >> reporter: denouncing this a year ago, these are supporters of president morsi fighting with security forces in giza. police fire tear gas to disperse the crowd. he wants to return to office. he was deposed by sisi last july. a year later, egyptians remain bitterly divided. >> translator: we don't see any change. we haven't seen any change in the past 30, 35 years. we won't see any change in the next 100 years. >> translator: egypt needs a military man to fix things. i

do you think amnesty can work now? >> well, i think that sunni tribes would say that it didn't work out for them. it would have happened in the intervening period. it's made it difficult to make the same argument gain. no, i think it's the right argument to make. i think the most effective counter strategy against the islamic state is one involving the mobilisation of the sunni tribes with iraq. at this point i don't think they would claim the government as a force they'd support. >> talking about the islamic state in an appointment of a caliphate. they anointed himself as leader of all groups. is this attempt at taking power - is it tearing the movement apart. i think there is a sincere chaps that the islamic state has exposed itself to a strategic vulnerability by occurring nonsupport or that it is an appropriate time for the correct circumstances. >> what is important for us to do is see that this is occurring strategically for this organise augusts at a moment that showcases military strength and they tried to sinn

amnesty means no penalty. >> would you send them back? >> absolutely. we need to be compassionate and we need immigration reform. >> we need a legal path. it's clear. there is no solution from the white house in terms of how. >> we go back to no leadership. >> it's politics. >> i would like to see speaker boehner, senator harry reid, the secure border and the president sit down and provide leadership. >> the first step has to be enforcement that works. not just at the border but at a placement so you dry up jobs for illegal immigrants and do amnesty in exchange for lower levels of legal immigration. if you do the amnesty first, we saw it in 1986. >> they will come from air and the ocean. >> it's the divisiveness that comes from the white house. >> panel, thank you. >>> a police officer gunned down. down. now violent fwan ♪ you want to save money on car insurance? no problem. you want to save money on rv insurance? no problem. you want to save money on motorcycle insurance? no problem. you want to find a place to park all these things? fuggedaboud it. th

it could also be amnesty for the parents of the dreamers. >> we don't know at this point. they've got a bunch of trial balloons out there and see which ones work and which ones blow up on them. look for something to happen shortly. >> 'cause the senate passed an immigration reform bill. the house did not. they do not believe the president is going to reinforce the border, so they see no point in coming up with a plan because that ultimately is an executive decision. so now the president is going to do this, almost baiting congress, believe it or not, to try to impeach him. the democratic mantra is look, the president is going to get impeached. >> taking an oath to abide by the law and uphold the law of this nation while at the same time violating it if he does take executive action. >> brian, to your point about impeachment, only democrats are talking about it. republicans, conservative, not talking about it. only democrats. it's to gin up the base before november. time for some weather and we start with heather. boston? tornado? >> totally

send them all back, john mccain, he wants to give them amnesty.there's no unified republican response. >> no compromise also, either. >> steven moore writes -- over a solution. it isn't working or making a difference. we must influence. bad move for gop, because potus has 18282 executive orders for days, the lowest for presidents in the past 50 years. there's no standing. >> steven moore had it right, julie. we knee solution to problem lice immigration, like an economy that's growing at less than 2.5%. bottom line, we're not getting them, we need them, not lawsuits, progress. >> let's move on to immigration. >> sorry, go ahead. >> let me throw into the second tweet there. yes, the president has made less executive orders, but the ones he's made are so huge and so far beyond the lines. >> give me an k356r78. >> well, the health care, suspending the law, putting out -- even though ignoring statutory deadlines, statutory issues, same things with the appointments in which he was slapped down by the supreme court 9-0 on i get to maim appointments, even

eligible for this immigration, this amnesty. so what then? will the f.b.i. open investigations, check when they entered the country or who they entered the country with and where they came from? they're not going to do that. of course not. the officers are going to be totally unable to resist false claims from applicants, the people they have arrested. it's going to demoralize immigration. i.c.e. officers will again be issued orders basically to stand down, no enforcement is going to occur. it will be the effective end of immigration enforcement in america, in my opinion. you cannot maintain an effective, lawful, consistent, fair immigration enforcement policy with these kind of regulations occurring and these kind of orders from the white house, who is the chief executive officer of america, who is empowered and directed to ensure that the laws of the united states are carried out. not empowered to violate the laws of the united states. so we have also heard from officers who process immigration applications. these are people w

no because i support amnesty. and i don't know why you say amnesty is not fair.on't know is not fair about it. >> it here is why it is not fair. please don't tell me people go to the front of the line that's your argument. >> can i answer why you don't -- i will make it pithy so you can reply. here is why it's not fair. it's not fair to the people who spent years trying to get here illegally. not fair to the communities who are now overrun in south texas, arizona, new mexico with illegal aliens who broke our law to come here. and it's not fair to the american taxpayer who is going to have to fund enormous underclass of people who are trying to work their way up. that takes money and resources to teach them english it, to get them in the schools, to deal with their health problems. it's not fair to any of those people to give them amnesty. go. >> they are not -- we have had immigrants coming into this country in. >> in an orderly way. >> it's in an orderly way it's a problem that we don't have way to bring people in orderly today. >> there have been generation aft

this is what amnesty looks like. would it cause you to change your mind now?we have more of a problem with the 12 million a we have here already that those are coming across the border. president obama told us in 2012 the border was secure. obviously it is not. he would not have the need to spend over three and a half billion of people came here if they never get it to begin with. the president, this is his failure. the president is the person charged a foreign policy in relationships between countries. we should be coming down on those countries and who, who are bringing their children here. the president's obligation, this will bring the republicans to their needs. now he is blaming republicans for the crisis that he created. the american people are not buying it. lou: this is his political problem, not the republicans. it is clear this administration is trying to exploit politically these children and this crisis of his making. >> he is making the country more unsafe. at the end of the day we have 14 million illegals. it will add another 40, 50, 60,000. it

this is why amnesty doesn't work.nd the president won't take responsibilix'kyk it's going even longer. trace gallagher has the latest. >> it could go another hour, megyn, because they have one more witness. very unclear who that witness is, but remember, aside from andrew tahmooressi telling his side of the story to the judge for the first time today, we were also supposed to hear from the border agents in mexico who arrested him, and tahmooressi's mexican lawyer said he would not stop questioning those agents until he felt like they were telling the truth. and that might be why this hearing has gone so long. tahmooressi's lawyer also says it's unlikely the former marine would be free tonight because this is an evidentiary hearing and the judge might take two or three more weeks to decide. then again, it's always up to the judge, so who knows. this thing, no media, no public was allowed inside. this has gone now the better part of seven hours, but the lawyer for tahmooressi and his mother has said that after it's over

the three billionaire amigos then praised legislation that would have granted amnesty to more than 11 million illegal immigrants, at a time when 20 million american citizens are already unemployed, underemployed, or who have simply given up looking for work. those american citizens deserve, it seems to me, much better from their government, from this president, and better as well from the extravagantly wealthy offers of an op-ed that doesn't contain a single statement, a single explanation as to how working men and women, our middle class and those who aspire to it, would benefit from either amnesty or open borders. the billionaires forgot to mention it. billionaires can be wildly off the mark, i recall vividly the occasion, well, seven years ago when bill gates told a senate hearing that, in his opinion, there should be no limits on each one visas. he said the number of granted visas should be infinite. that's a lot. americans are watching the crisis overtake our southern border and clearly a crisis of this president's making, and adelson, buffett and gates know that. nonetheless, th

deal with granting of amnesty. he '86 experience under reagan taught us that that was a lanket policy of that nature has consequences way beyond that time. now it even effects this time. i don't think the amnesty issue is part of it but certainly will be the accusation. >> congressman you talk about many democrats are talking about the violence and the with us ous circumstances from which hildren are fleeing to the border. republicans are citing a dhs memo.from a i think a lot of it it's close 70% saying it's close to f asylum claims end up being fraudlent. over 50% of children claiming to have atus are found credible claims says another. two o you reconcile those statistics? >> i reconcile them by going through a third party validater that to me is the report that the united nations came up -- they interviewed 50% they felt had a legitimate claim asylum based on the violence issue. legacy for this nation america, l banana republic issue and the corporate influence in that region, that's legacy and we're still deal

the republican platform specifically says no to amnesty and we know that lamar supports amnesty with his vote in support of senate bill 744. we know that lamar votes for higher taxes as he has on repeated occasions and the platform specifically says no more higher taxes, we have to get the federal government and regulators off the back of working americans and small businesses so there are a number of issues. that's our fireable offense where lamar departs radically from the national republican committee platform. they want a reliable republican. >> you brought up the republican party platform. the same republican party last year in autopsy on what went wrong in 2012 presidential election specifically called for comprehensive immigration reform which is of course what lamar alexander supported. >> some republican leadership may have done that to cowtail to interest groups who have a vested interest in driving down american wages with oversupply of labor. the party platform did not change, chuck. until the party platform changes, that's the position republicans have regard to the rule

that is the problem with any of these kinds of amnesties from a practical standpoint. signal a sense that you can get away with that, so next time you want to gain or hold political power, if you do the same thing, confident you'll be able to walk again. that is not how we want to enforce the law in our country or anywhere in the world. but fundamentally, from an international point of view, it is one thing to say you can go, and at the time of their -- time they go, they may not be a court a it'se may not be another thing court. it's thing to give them a get out of jail free card for the rest of their life. they have different policies and different approaches, but there is a lot in international law that is not possible. it would not prevent a prosecutor like myself going after them, full stop. these crimes are too serious. e> sentences -- since you'v aloud many opening of a hypothetical question-- >> i don't answer hypotheticals. >> perhaps you give this one a try. -- assad's a side attorney, and if you were taking potential, about his is personal potential liabilit

-- for administrative amnesty or work authorization for unlawful immigrants. however, the majority leader with the support of his conference has blocked all amendments to this border supplemental. if we do not stop this presidential action, we will ensure that the border crisis continues a catastrophe. the president's planned action would also represent a total breach of our constitutional system, and it would be a hammer blow to millions of unemployed american citizens. and we do have the power to stop this. we ought to stop it. we have a duty to congress, we have a duty to the rule of law, we have a duty to the constitution. what we can do today by voting yes on my motion to clear the amendment tree and to consider an im-- and pass senator cruz's amendment, would fix this problem. it would say, mr. president, you're not authorized to take -- utilize any money of the united states government to spend on a program to grant amnesty and work permits to millions. the vote we are about to have will be a vote on whether to support the president's illegal amnesty or

if you're not amnesty,against c. what does amnesty do?esident obama's, a lot of his constituents. if you plook at young black unemployment, 24.4%. 16 to 24-year-olds. they need jobs that are -- they're entry level jobs that everybody does. where will those jobs go if there's amnesty? that will hurt them if there's an influx of 5 million or 10 million. cheap labor does nothing for them. it hurts them. >> but greg, they're already here. these are 12 million people here. most of them are working in this country. >> he's talking about the most recent influx, and what the president calls a humanitarian crisis. >> you simply don't become a citizen by showing up. there is a line. what the republicans have to do is reverse the priorities. the last thing president obama has put the world before america. put america before the world, or we become the world. unfortunately there's no america for us to flee to. we cannot be refugees in another place, as we watch our borders crumble. that's what we have to do. was that common sense? >> it was very foll

they want an opportunity for amnesty. what we have is a humanitarian crisis. and what the president is saying, let's deal with this humanitarian crisis. let's help these children, and have the rest of it as part of the larger discussion, which he would argue he's been trying to have, which is comprehensive immigration reform. joy. >> indeed, thank you so much, chris jansing. >> meanwhile, as congress and the president engageige the political back and forth over how to handle this humanitarian crisis, advocacy groups have filed a class action suit against the u.s. government, alleging, as the l.a. times reports, that the government is violating due process by allowing some children to navigate the complex immigration system alone, meaning without attorneys. meanwhile, communities across the u.s. remain deeply divided over whether to even temporarily house children who are fleeing their drug cartel and gang ravaged homelands. >> if we don't have a border, we have no nation. >> they are still our neighbors. if your neighbor comes to your door and knocks on it and

at children, w we will not solve ts humanitarian crisis unless and until we end president obama's amnesty. lou: house republicans will try agomorrow, partly because g.o.p. leaders are concerned about the political fallout of was not doing anything, that is president obama's favorite attack line, one he repeated again, today. >> look, any time congress wants to do -- work with me. it help working families, i am right there. door is always open. more than that, i will go to them, i will you know. wash their car. walk their dog. i am ready to work with them any time. lou: we'll take up the economic and political impact of president's policies, and talk with real estate ma magnate mort zuckerman. >> and fox news national security analyst ktmcfarland will join to us discuss what will happen with the israeli and hamas truce. whether it will be sustained. >> stocks ending the month with a more than 300-point sell-off today, steve forbes with us to discuss the market meltdown. now we begin with a border crisis, number of minors crossing the border continues to rise, there is a huge increase in fa

more amnesty.what it produces -- this is the face of amnesty. this is what it looks like. tens of thousands of children being victimized. this is why amnesty doesn't work the president won't take responsibility for it. he just wants to shift blame, which sadly is the pattern he's taken on issue after issue in washington. >> senator ted cruz sh thank you for being here tonight, sir. >> it's a pleasure. >> also, a u.s. marine spent 100 days in mexican custody has a day in court. the hearing supposed to last just hours. you heard us updating it on the factor, so far, it's gone seven hours, we just learned it's going longer. trace ghallager has the latest. trace? >> could go another hour, there is one more witness unclear who that is. he told his story to the judge today we're supposed to hear from the border agent in mexico who arrested him, and his mexican lawyer said he would not stop questioning those agents until he felt like they were telling the truth. that might be why this hearing has gone so

let's move on it. >> the president wants his amnesty bill. if he doesn't get that, he's going to borrow power, is what the democrats say. >> let's go with marco rubio. >> he doesn't support the bill, because he thinks it's the wrong bill. >> let's go with your proposal. >> my proposal is secure the border first. >> you have to do it at the same time. >> all these people are coming over getting amnesty. >> we have an obligation, terrorists may cross that border one day, and blow up an american city. we need to have -- >> we need to have a secure country. >> you're intent on disagreeing with me when there's no disagreeing. >> stunning proof, dirty politics at play in the mississippi senate runoff, and later, did hillary clinton call president obama incompetent, ffectless? a bestseller is here and says she did. starts with back pain... ...and a choice. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief.

they get amnesty. and the president reaches out and says essentially to the world, we're not going to enforce immigration laws. it's a progression on his part. it was bill clinton that did the most deportations. in the year 2000 he had more deportations than anybody in history before or since. more than george w. bush, more than ronald reagan, more than george h.w. bush. but as -- those high deportations that took place under bill clinton have diminished substantially under this president. they diminished under george wrnlt of w. bush and again nder this president. this president has put the welcome mat out. he advertised to people in foreign countries, if you can get into america, you get to stay in america. that's been his policy. while they will announce he has more deportations than anybody else. it wasn't true the moment they uttered that. it's not true today. the president has confessed that they count differently than any other administration. we have a circumstance on the southern border that -
