our population in hazelton grow by 50% but our tax revenue remained the same. our population grew by 50% but our tax revenue remained the same. small cities, small towns, like hazelton, pennsylvania, are crushed by the burden of illegal immigration and people all over the country, i was sued for creating the first law of its kind in the country and i couldn't find politicians who would come near me, it was refreshing, nobody came to hazelton but i thought i was standing there alone until i started getting cards and letters and checks from people all over the united states, in fact, i got checks from every state including alaska and hawaii, to help defend our city in that lawsuit. we raised over a half million dollars, most of it in $10 and $20 donations from people all over america who felt the same way. i am not alone. the american people understand what illegal immigration means. that doesn't mean we roll up the welcome mat to new immigrants. we ask them to come here through the proper channel, respect the rule of law and then give them the opportunity that t

let's bring in todd hazelton ton. welcome back to the show. let's talk apple first. what do you think about the dive in apple? >> you know i'm not surprised to see it because the problem with apple it has been way too quiet recently. we need to see innovation and need to see products in the market. htc and samsung releasing their major flagships now. samsung came out yesterday. seven major carriers in the united states. that is huge. galaxy s4 will sell like gangbusters. galaxy line has always been great. what will happen he will do? will it make an incremental upgrade with the apple iphone 5 s or the ipad? we need a big change. itv or i watch, we want to see something big. melissa: we talked about apple missing earnings because they were always the king of sandbagging, managing expectations. >> we saw it last quarter. melissa: so is that a real sign of the decline in the company, that they can't even stick to that strategy? >> yeah i do think so but tim cook did say i would be more in line and give more accurate estimate in the future so that doesn't happen as often

people in this country, and if they are deported, you're going to have a situation like you had in hazeltonylvania where the economy collapses because all of the small businesses go out of business because they're owned by latinos or in alabama where a school system nearly collapsed when they passed their law? the estimates are, it cost $1.2 trillion to deabort the 11 million undocumented people here already in the labor force. that can't possibly be good for american jobs if you're deporting people who create wealth. >> howard, we're not talking about deporting anyone. what we're talking about what caused the problem. let's fix our system, let's have a workable immigration system and operational control of our borders. then we'll have the trust of the american people to deal with those who are already here. >> senator, will you let the -- will you let the brainiac limit go up? will you let the students who train here stay around? that's just my last one. maybe that's a piecemeal approach. >> what we need to do in a step by step approach, where people understand what we're doing. and certai
