to say today. host: harold is up next in illinois. go ahead. caller: good morning, c-span. think we are going about this all the wrong way. it seems to me that we go after the immigrants when we should go after the employers. maybe like our drug laws if you get caught with drugs in your car they can confiscate your car. maybe they can confiscate your business if you get caught with immigration violations. i think instead of building a billions ofere for dollars, if we enforce the laws of the company cannot hire immigrants, you cannot rent a house to an immigrant, if they got no place to sleep and it got no place to work, they are not going to come up here. we don't need a big old wall. it seems we go after the little guy instead of going after the big guy in this country. host: there are some of the statements you have heard regarding secretary kelly's speech from yesterday to legislators. he says the message of either change the immigration laws or shut up as far as enforcement work that is done by dhs. we want to see if you agree or disagree with those concepts or you beli

go ahead. caller: thank you to c-span and ms. dowd i have two things. one, it seems to me that we are all licking our wound after that elections, those of us who are to the left and it seems to me they are looking to the answers as to how this-- how it could donald trump get elected and i think in my mind the elephant in the room was personality. it was celebrity. it's what people today because of the media and because of our access to quick information, they gravitate towards his personality. the democrats don't seem to see that, that hillary did not have that dynamic personality it seems to me and i would like your opinion, don't the democrats need"-- 2020% with an incredible personality to win in the second thing-- host: we are almost out of time, i apologize. guest: michael, i agree with you 1000%. i think the democrats ignored that at their own peril. in this age you can already see all of these celebrities like oprah and mark cuban and maybe george clooney are sort of-- and howard schultz are circling around because they think it back i can do it

so i could vote for president trump because he was going to be doing something different besides all of the other politicians. i just want to say, c-span coming you guys are awesome that we actually get to speak to you and tell you what our opinions are common set of being spoken at all the time host: i appreciate that. host: a quick question for you. do you think the reason why president trump might be having some problems in the republicans to jump aboard the trump train is he approaches things in a way a politician doesn't? that is probably a part of the problem, you know. chmooze people.o and he does not live. .hat he does not lie he does not lie to that person to get votes. he is speaking the truth. this iss saying, look, the way ahead. are you going to get on board or not? if republicans think they are saved, they are not. we are not done with them. there are a lot more that can be gone. if they don't start coming around and getting on board the trump train. that is the direction the country wants to go in. host: ok. let's go to william cowan from anderson, south carolina, and independent. hi, william. caller: how are you? host:
