they are just back from the region, and the number two democrat in the senate dick durbin. then we take a back from the news for our annual review of summer beach reading. we've got five of the best thriller and mystery writers in america. they'll all be with me here at the table. , karen slaughter, sandra brown, jeffrey beaver and lee child. they've sold among them, literally, millions upon millions of books. and provided great entertainment, from for a loft years, now, so i am really looking forward to sitting down with them, it could get really scary here on "face the nation". >> or really fun, good time to know about good beach reads. bob, thanks. >>> okay, thanks, nicole. >>> 8:42 right now. still to come this morning: cool and comfortable. no complaints when it comes to the wet they are holiday weaken. but the heat we're told is making a come back. carol has the eyewitness weather forecast for the work week. that's coming up next. >>> and, on the move and living well into their 90's. they say they've one secret to their longevity. and it is something you can do yourse

dick durbin said -- they literally shove the garbage in the middle of the stride so people can go through it rather than starve to death. let's take care we don't send them back into a deadly situation. will you be sending children back to a deadly situation? >> i'm a son of an immigrant. my father came over as a legal resident from mexico. i understand what it is to be an immigrant. i also understands what this is to be a nation of laws. we're trying to enforce the laws that we have right now. if somebody can tell me why mexico is so different from other countries, please tell me what the difference is. number two, the legislation we're going to follow will probably extra protection to make sure that we have a day the court for those young kids who want to claim asylum, they'll want to claim credibility fear, whatever they want to claim. right now, what is it? i think yesterday they testified in the senate hearing there's about 375 kids who have not had a hearing, might be three to five years. is that process? is that what you call process? you know, how will we let them have a day in co

coming from think deportation is not necessarily the answer here and there are democrats, including dick durbin said any changes to the 2008 trafficking law, i don't know about that. >> i was on the hill all of yesterday and that was certainly what the democrats were subtly at that point arguing with each other. that gives the republicans another excuse, not that they need one to go slow and/or go nowhere with any kind of broad proposal because if they not only think they have the issue as luke was pointing out in most of those districts that they control that don't have many hispanics and if they get the added political benefit of sowing divisions within the democratic party then they'll do it and they'll be glad to have a big debate on that, if they were the democrats debating with each other? >> i think the short term gain is the republicans in that respect, but the long-term liabilities given the fact that the republicans refuse to move on a bill that is sitting on the house side that would really resolve this on the long term. i just think the longer republicans stay on immigration, the lo

dick durbin, a close ally of the white house said he wants more money for kids to get lawyers. other lawyers -- other democrats in both chambers are saying that this is really an unfair tradeoff just to get some money to take care of these kids. the blowback has been pretty sharp and been pretty heated just in the last couple days since this start materializing. >> and what about -- we went through some of the history. i remember when i was covering congress in '06 when cuellar beat rodriguez in the primary. he bragged to us. i just gave him a south texas beating. i remember that's the expression he used. so obviously, you know, he's been getting a lot of, you know, sort of blowback, the democratic party the last couple weeks for how he's been talking about the president and the president's handling of the immigration crisis, the border crisis right now. with his fingerprints on a bill like this, does that actually make it more radioactive with democrats? is that how they're now responding to henry cuellar? >> you can see it a couple different ways here. i mean, join look at th

you've got people like dick durbin and rand paul working on sentencing reform. think senator booker and i will be able to find republican support for our idea as well. it just marries together two great ideas, helping kids and saving money. so ultimately, i hope that this is going to be one of the few areas of bipartisan achievement that we can get. the trends, as you said, are going in the right direction, but we're still the most powerful, most affluent country in the world, and we lock up more adults and more kids than any other first-world country. that's something to be ashamed of as a nation. >> indeed. senator chris murphy from the great state of connecticut. more "cycle" right ahead. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips. i just saved 15% on cari'm insurance in 15 minutes. don't live in beatrice's world. live in the modern world where 7
