jon: do graham and gowdy have any support?reporter: -- launched a counter campaign in favor of immigration reform. they want every evangelical church in south carolina to get on board this. dr. richard land of the ethics in religion and liberty commission says immigration is good for the country and good for the republican party. >> i think that the reason that the republican party did so badly among hispanics and among asians is that they are viewed as many of those people as being anti-immigrant. and i think that's a losing position politically and i believe it is an immoral position. >> reporter: congressman gowdy cautions though if the republican party embraces immigration reform purely for political gain it is not likely to work but he does add, jon, if you're talking to someone and they think you don't like them, they're not likely to listen to anything else you have to say. jon? jon: that's a good point. john roberts in atlanta. thank you. jenna: there is some growing controversy surrounding a proposed plan it crack dow

congressman tray gowdy chairs the subcommittee in the house.gue states like south carolina need a large pool of immigrant workers to service industry like agriculture, tourism, other areas of the service industry but they are being targeted by opposition groups trying to kill immigration reform. groups like numbers usa which back in 2007 played an integral role in torpedoing a deal. >> who elected lindsey graham to demand millions more immigrant workers when so many south carolinians are job letters. >> not me. >> this "gang of 8" eight of working night and day to legalize illegal aliens. show me when people up in congress are working night and day to put americans back to work. >> reporter: evan gel kal are working with ad campaign to support gowdy and gram. it will use them to light hundreds of grassroots fires across the country to try to kill a deal this time around too, martha. martha: what does senator graham say about all that, john? >> reporter: he is hanging tough in this battle. opposition groups know if you can sell immigration refor

gowdy held a hearing. they'll get started on immigration legislation. it's now waiting for the senate to complete work on its own immigration bill. the house committee's legislation will deal with guest worker programs and employer verification of immigration status. this conference is about a half-hour. >> everyone among us can go back a few generations or several generations to find relatives of our own who came to america to search for a better life for themselves and their families. we are also a nation of laws. it is important that any immigration reform bill honor both our history as a nation of immigrants and our respect for the rule of law. unfortunately our immigration system today is broken, past legislative efforts have failed and today we have 11 million people living in the shadows. this issue is not about abstract statistics and concepts, but rather about people with real problems trying to provide a better life for their families. while we all agree we need to fix our immigration laws, we have -- there are many ideas about how to get to a

when these house republicans get after this subject and we've heard from trey gowdy and others in the house about this. when they get after this and start swearing people under oath and start going on this, the stonewall will crack and it will get real difficult and you're going to see people in the state department and other places say i'm ready to tell the tale, i don't care whether i've got a lawyer or not. >> these are career, we're told career state department officials. these are not folks that change with the parties of, you know, who's in the white house. they're career officials who want to say what they think is the truth and what their lawyer said this morning will contradict the state department's own review they put out on this. yet so far they can't do it. chris, thank you. we'll have much more on this in our next hour as we go in depth on what is going on and why we cannot hear from these employees who just want to tell us their perspective. >>> plus, we are tracking a nightmare situation for a mother and father today after a trip to the er with their little baby ends w

melissa: you have congressman gowdy.oing to join lou to discuss the "gang of eight"'s immigration bill. >> he is one of the terrific public servants on capitol hill. he is smart as a whip an engaged on all really important issues. melissa: look forward to it. thanks lou. >> good to be with you. lori: what with you do with $3.7 million? chances are you wouldn't do what the ceo of britain's biggest department store did. he gave his entire bonus to his employees as a way to say thank you. that is what lou does for his staff. the gift was split between 20,000 employees, adding up just to $200,000 a person. still his generosity has been applauded by --. melissa: $200 a person. lori: that sound more reasonable. wow, he is so generous. >> sign me up. lori: lou is not that generous. melissa: careful. i don't know how you got involved in this. it was $200 per employee. it is a clothing company. very cool. >> would be nicer. melissa: would have been much nicer. coming up on "money" a former treasury department senior advisor under

interrim report, 48 pages worth, i think if i haves a good overview but as chairman issa and tray gowdyre not stopping this. there will be hearings in may. at least one hearing in may. and we will continue to get after this. there is no good excuse. rather than democrats complaining about the process, why don't they argue that they should get after truth and justice? nobody has been held accountable and nobody has been brought to justice. we have four dead americans and we're not going to rest until we get to the truth. martha: we know the president the day after promised that that investigation would find justice and would find the killers of those four americans. so there is still a lot of big questions on this regardless of the fact that a lot of people seem to want to put it on the back burner. representative chaffetz, good to speak with you as always. have a good day, sir. >> thank you, martha. martha: a lot of big questions still out there. and you know, when you look at those documents and the fact that they were robo-signed he raises a really good point, which is that wouldn't t

thank you and i now want to yield to the chairman of the subcommittee, trey gowdy. >> thank you, mr.n. the resultant process to me are inextricably intertwined. the best result or product in the world is sometimes mitigated by a process that is less than confidence inspiring. the is true in the civil to stem a justice system and legislative system. even ideas that enjoy broad support need to be examined in the public square. it is more time-consuming, it can be argued it is more fraught with peril but those of us interested in a remedy that will sustain us for a lifetime, i'm convinced the extra time spent examining all aspects and suggesting them to cross -- and subjecting them to cross examination will be well worth it. thank you for letting me be a small part of this process and the yield back to the gentleman from virginia. >> we are happy to take questions. [inaudible] >> we are not to that point yet. but if we talk about adjusting the three aspects of immigration, you have to get to that point. we are looking with interest to see what the senate is doing that. we are interested

the house about how they're working on their bill and when we might be able to see that, chairman gowdynd chairman goodlatte you're talking to later today? another thing for senator schumer, you discussed trying to curry some republican support for this. you talk about the diversity visa and what happened to that. is something, a bit of chief supporter of for a long time. talk about, you know, happens to the diversity visa in the negotiating process? >> we've had conversations with some our colleagues in the house and we will continue to but i think the time to do that is probably after we finish on the floor of the senate with, with a completed package. so we can go over specific points with them. we've had several conversations with them and we'll continue. lindsey graham and i went over, republican policy committee. not too long ago and had conversations with them and, we've encouraged their negotiations, which in many ways are particularly given the makeup of that group, somewhat encouraging. >> on diversity visas i was the author of it back in the '90s, so i care about it. we had s
