host: doris meissner?guest: the chinese, indians, the science and engineering types of jobs that you're talking about, there is a big shortage in the united states because most american kids are not like your son. most american kids do not going to math, science, and engineering courses. that being said, i hear frequently what it is you are talking about and what it is to your son is saying. and one of the reasons for that is that american workers tend not to be as mobile and flexible as foreign-born workers. foreign-born workers will tend to go anywhere in the country where there is a job, and particularly the ones that are brought under the h1b be set, which is probably a category that -- visa, which is probably a category that you and your son are familiar with. those are the workers that are brought into the country with a high skill. those are the people that tend to make changes in the labor markets. i think you will find -- i do not know. i do not know what your personal situation is. science and en

in closing i will use my favorite quote from john henry clark and i know that irene dory irene height knew him. she said history is the clock people use to tell their time of day. it tells them who they are and what they are. it helps them find themselves on the map of human geography. those who live their lives well know that is what they do every day that writes the history of of tomorrow. dorothy irene height wrote a lot of history and allowed us to germany with her on the road. like you, i will miss our good friend. like you, corporate america, will miss her, too.

took care of the urban crossings you take care of the illegal immigration and i have a quote from doris meissner, commissioner of the ips back in those days. she said we did believe that geography would be an ally to us. it was our sense that the number of people crossing the border through arizona would go down to a trickle. that thinking was wrong. as i have said we have found in the last ten years close to 2,000 bodies and those are only the bodies that we've found. and i know i don't have a really long time to speak here but i would like to tell you the story of one, the body of one person who was found. it's the title of my book. i named the book for this young girl. she was 14-years-old and she died about two hours from here in arizona into wilderness in january of 2008. josephine was a young girl living in el salvador. her mother was an e illegal immigrant in l.a. and she had a young brother who was ten. they had been left behind in el salvador until the mother could find the money to bring them up. they were living with their grandmother. the mother scraped together the money go

you mentioned doris lessing sir. is she still employed with fox news? i didn't see the same indignation when-- were marginalized. the same with a tea party. there seems to be an attempt to address deficits specifically, yet deficits were incurred during the bush administration. i didn't see any tea party movements than. >> and i think i mentioned this in the beginning, laura does still work specifically because we push back on the attacks on her. and i am happy about that. when it comes to the tea party, as i mentioned earlier, i think the reaction to george bush was the election of barack obama. barack obama was elected because he was not george w. bush. now what i think the tea party movement is and it is a brand-new framework. these are stakeholders that have never come out before. they notice something shifting with bush and we believe that things will always be okay, and there is suddenly a sense that maybe it wouldn't be a maybe the other party would reverse a certain issue. when we have seen that in fact, barack obama is doing what george bush wa

two questions, and it will settle down and greece and these countries will grow and it will be hunky dory. host: europe will be stable. guest: yes, and then the other scenario that greece's situation is too bad and it doesn't get growth and the problem remains and resurfaces. and then you have to ask the question, look do these countries that are relatively weaker, do they need their own curren currency. because they need to be able to grow. if you devalue your currency your exports increase. so the fact that these countries don't have their own currencies, is that a problem for them to manage their economies and grow over the long-run. if you have the same currency as germany, and they are consistently more productive than you. you are going to be importing more and more and exporting less and less. and that's what happens is happen in europe. germany is an export powerhouse and all the countries are importing. host: it's a drag on the system. guest: it's a drag on the system and these smaller countries can't grow fast enough and in the long-run that may not be sustainable. to have a com

good morning to doris on our democrat's line. go ahead. caller: good morning. he's already answered the question. but my question was that i think mr. hemmingway has his facts incorrect as far as federal employees. now, it may be the senate and the house that get good benefits. i worked for the d.o.d. and we, i get like $53 for every year that i worked in retirement. so when i retire next year in 2011 aul i'm going to get is 1176 with no cost of living raise because the social security is not getting a cost of lig raise. when i get 62 they're going to take half of that back. i have to live on 623 a month. now, they're going to force me to take social security. so for people to get all their information out there, the federal employees get so much retirement benefits. that is not so. host: we'll let you go there with a reminder we'll be talking about military pay and benefits in our next segment. mark. guest: obviously not every federal worker gets a sweet deal but the bottom line is if you average it out, you don't take one specific instance whatever on the who

hi, doris. caller: good morning. we can see how rupert murdoch directs the media. but the name of the person that ronald reagan and ed rollins wanted to get out of the way was s.i. they offered him the job of ambassador if he dropped out of the california g.o.p. primary in 1982. nothing happened. it was a nonissue. now, abraham lincoln's cemetery that president obama is going visit is a veterans cemetery. and i buried my husband there two years ago. he was a member it was 173rd airborne, vietnam, and i think my husband and all of them buried in that cemetery are just as good as veterans that are buried in arlington or any other cemetery. so i don't think that's a problem either. thank you. caller: i was on another ship that was hit by enemy fire and we lost people, so i know what combat is. and c-span is negligent because you still have not shown on your screen the actual wording of the statute which says that it doesn't make any difference whether it's part-time or full-time, whether it's compensated or not compensated, but there is a clear violation of law. these
