dan stein, who are you looking to lead? guest: the strong expert on the issue know what is going on. a lot of expertise. john boehner, sometimes the leadership wants to take a balanced view. unless they figure out how to attract latino voters first, it is like going over a political cliff. not that latino voters were really important in the outcome of this last election, but ultimately the quixotic effort to gain latino voters by passing amnesty is a big fat political illusion. host: who are you looking to for leadership in 2013? guest: there are bipartisan conversations going on in the house and the senate. in the senate you have senator mclane -- senator mccain, rubio from florida, folks like senator shubert -- senator schumer, harry reid, and men mendez. they know in order to get something done, you will need folks from both sides of the aisle. similar conversations are going on in the house. people now in order to get members of both parties something for work it will require compromise. that is what we are talking abou

dan stein is the president of fair, the federation for american immigration reform. t with you. this has been an issue which conservative republicans said no, anything that grants legal status or citizenship to someone who crossed into the country illegally is amnesty. is it a different climate now and can you support this framework? >> no, we can't support this framework. and while the climate may be somewhat different, depending how you interpret the election, it is basically the same bill for the most part, what we see is identical, almost identical to the 2006 proposal. in the end -- >> forgive me for interrupting, but senator rubio says you have de facto amnesty anyway. if you have 10 or 11 million people who came into this country illegally and here, if you do nothing, essentially they have amnesty. what is your proposal that the government spend the money to find them and toss them out? >> look, we had 30 years of commissions that have made recommendations on how we can enforce our borders and make our law work and make it enforceable. and we had four years of

. >> dan stein, it's not liberal democrats and a lot of conservatives.ham were all out there saying the time has come to deal with this in a comprehensive way. >> we heard this before. i have video of chuck schumer saying this will be the last amnesty. we will do it again. look at the debates in 2006. this is the only time. marco rubio said he was not going to support a path to citizenship. they said they were not going to support the program. we have a labor market and we have job displacement and see a lot of americans who were struggling. how is this by giving amnesty and setting off a tidal wave and going to help the average american get a job and better wages and improved working conditions. how will it help the fiscal situation? the bill is a skeletal draft. these guys go into it holding arm and arm like they are going in the tunnel of love. it's like they have been in a lion's den. when you get down to the details, what you see is all the enforcement provisions and things we have on the books anyway. if the president would enforce the law, it's a
